Hey I must record this. For the first time in my life I spent time watching demonstrations on the use of houseware.
Used to be when I was working and time was so precious, the limited time for shopping had to be efficient. Whenever I passed a crowd gathered to watch salesmen peddling their housewares at departmental stores, I thought of the crowd as "people who had nothing better to do" ( with a tinge of disdain ).
Today I went to Tangs to look for the perfect wok and the most efficient mop (maid retiring soon- she also had enough!). Stayed to watch one saleslady demonstrating the use of anodised wok and a saleman demonstrating the use of the most wonderful German mop. If you want free entertainment or a good laugh just hop into the household section of a big department store. These people really know how to spice up their sales talk. They are so funny and so spontaneous. Funny people, there are not many around nowadays. Anyhow I enjoyed my trip to Tangs household section. My past snobbishness deprived me of much fun which fortunately I discovered today.

Marn Har,
Welcome to the 'labour' force. Soon you will find your house too big, especially when you have to clean it yourself.....hahaha.
Totally agree with you that people laugh less these days. Perhaps it is the expectation that older people shouldn't laugh or I suspect, is due to the hectic pace of life and the accompanying stress.
The inverse correlation between a society's progress and the amount of laughter is certainly a topic worth investigating. Not sure how you are going to quantify laughter but it sure would made interesting reading......hahaha
Have fun and smile
