I have a new hobby! ha ha... :P

Hi all,

It just seems that I've just stumbled into a very new activity that I find quite interesting and I kind of enjoy doing. Have you ever been on a packed train ride with nothing to do but just sit or stand and wait for your station? Well, one day, while I was casually glancing at the multitude of faces in the same carriage as me, I had a sudden bout of curiosity and a need to find out about the people that were onboard with me. It got me thinking to the point whereby I wondered what they were doing or what might be their jobs, why are they wearing the clothes that they are wearing, or why are they on the train at that moment of time, etc. I began to mentally note down their behaviors and tried to guess who they were from their appearance and behaviors.

If you had the same experience as me, then you have just successfully just began your very first session of... PEOPLE WATCHING! Yay! Ha ha.. :P

It might seem pointless to people-watch, but to me, there are quite some things that you can learn from the activity. For example, after some sessions, you could easily define the expressions of people for yourself. You would have a good idea on whether they're sad, bored, happy, angry, etc. You can use this and apply it into your social skills in determining the moods of your friends and therefore act and adjust your mannerisms accordingly.

Another good thing would be how you would be able to get a glimpse of your society as a whole and figure out trends such fashion, language, etc. The opportunities are quite endless, it seems. :P And the best part of all? It sure can keep you occupied on your journey home. Ha ha. Well that's it for now, till next time. Bye!
