Paranormal Curiosity and Everyday Irritations

A few days ago, I was reading Reader's Digest Jan 06 edition and came across this article talking about a writer who went to the Menger Hotel to find out more about their ghostly history.

For the past century, there is this ghost called Ms Sallie White, a chambermaid, who had been haunting this 146 year old hotel. The article was indeed interesting and when reading it, you may feel like you want to know more about it.

Just a thought. Have you ever wondered why humans are so interested to know about the 'others'? They will go to the extent of forming a team, doing research, equipped themselves with electromagnetic detectors and other sophiscated equipments etc just to sense the 'others'. So what if they managed to connect with the 'others'? Are they going to communicate with them and find out why they die or lingering around? I guess if they pass away, they will become one of the 'hunted' and find out the answer they are looking for. Hehe. . .

On an unrelated note altogether, there is also another article talking about Asia's top irritations. I was looking at the portion about Singapore and laughed at one of the points: Kissing in public. Is it that irritating? I always felt kissing is a declaration of love and affection. I think they must have been interviewing the ah-so and aunties. Hehe...

But of course, depends on the way how both parties are kissing and who they are. For example, kids in school uniform is definitely a no-no. Or couples kissing loudly and making all sorts of funny sounds. I think these should be done at home. But I think that if its a peck on the lips, should be ok. Well, guess its different perceptions.

Interesting. I love Reader's Digest.
