When The Music Stops.

I love watching people play musical chairs.

Here, I assume that you understand what a game musical chairs is. I don't play too many games, yet I understand it. I hope you are better than me.

So yes. Musical chairs. Do you not see human behaviours in the game? Some people play the game differently and they made their personalities obvious. And often, I see them out. Musical chairs is just a nice little game for me to look at people and their actions.

Some people hold onto the back of chairs to ensure that they are guaranteed a seat. Others put their butts real close to the chairs so that they can sit once they spot a pause. I see these people as kiasu, for a lack of better word. Singaporeans will always be Singaporeans. Kiasu may not be a characteristics for all Singaporeans, but many does have this trait. Ungentlemanly behaviour, doesn't it makes you laugh when you see these people frantically finding a seat and the way they hold onto every chair. Haha, yes, I laugh. And when they fall or fail, their faces twist into an ugly shape and haha, you know they are sore losers. How hilarious this is.

Others are gentlemanly. They play as if that is nothing to them. They walk with the average walking speed. They don't hold onto chair-backings and neither do they walk so close to the chairs. However, they win those guys. Maybe, the idea of taking it easy does help. And often, winning doesn't seemed to matter. The fun they enjoyed is the key.

I can spot many things. Can you?
