role play time

its just over 5pm. the roads are going to be packed. might as well sit at my desk and try to irritate someone, even if its only myslef. joining someone for buka puasa. but might as well leave later. cos the roads will be packed.

i have been told that we dont have enough cops to control traffic. then a local daily showed a picture of our cops testing out a new traffic surveilance system ... two cops in the picture, one pointing out an offender and the other taking a shot of him. imagine if the one taking the shot could spot the offender himself, then the other cop can be deployed elsewhere to ease traffic.

but then i guess it was just a staged shot for the newspapers. otherwise why would a newspaper reporter be up there at an observation tower ... plus the newspaper cannot really spare a photographer to wait at an observation tower to get a candid shot. he can be deployed elsewhere to cover some other staged shot.

which is also why on the first day of Deepavali and Hari Raya day itself, we will have pictures of people celebrating the first day of the occasion in newspapers. how does a newspaper which goes to print one day earlier have a shot of a family celebrating on the same day? welcome to the world of role play

we role play all the time. we see people role playing everywhere. elvis, when he was thinner, said the world was a stage. we have confirmed it.

happy deepavali and selamat hari raya aidilfitri. lets have a real celebration.
