Earlier this week, I was having a conversation with an Eastie (defined as the people who live in the Eastern part of our little red dot). Throughout the conversation, she insisted that the Eastie behaves differently from the Westie.
How so?
She gave me a “classic example”.
In the female toilet, an Eastie will always queue in a line system, waiting for an empty cubicle before moving towards and into the cubicle. On the other hand, a Westie will always queue directly behind each cubicle.
This was based on her three years observation at the university in an abandoned land in the west. I was puzzled. After I told her I’m from the west but I queue in the said “Eastie manner” she concluded that I must be a converted Westie. -_-
I seriously doubt her observation. Maybe the people she deemed Westie are the people who are new to our local culture. Anyhow, my Eastie readers and friends please do enlighten me on the mentioned phenomenon. HAHA.

meh i queue up in a line (me = eastie) although i doubt that counts for sufficient statistical evidence..
although i should point out that people in orchard road also queue up in lines..
