OMIGOSH!!! That is so...... ARGH!!! If u ever drop by Esplanade, look abv ur head, look at those paper cranes that are hanging over ur head as decorations. While you're looking at it, u'll definately stop to observe how nicely they folded those cranes and how nice it is to put those cranes together as a decorations. My thoughts were such when i first saw them. And you can see some silver, gold, orange colours on those paper use to fold them. You'll wonder how clever they are to find such kind of paper to fold those cranes. Sounds nice when i said that? But YOU'RE SO WRONG!!! So DARN WRONG!God.. I din realise it until yesterday while i was at Esplanade with my Uncle and Aunty that my aunty spotted the worse things of all. Those paper that were used to fold those cranes.. They turned out to be INCENSE PAPER!!! >:( What the hell! After she pointed out then did i realise she was right abt that. We we like talking and chatting when she looked out of the glass panels and admire those cranes... then all of the sudden she screamed in canto words: "Choi! Dai Ga Lei Si!" No wonder you can see orange, gold and silver... -.- Wat the hell... Those ppl are sick!Srry for my language, but u just can't believe it until you see it. You gotta admit, it is kinda nice the way they decorated the place, but USING INCENSE PAPER? And nt only so, they also hung those ridiculous white cloths, 3 of them with some kind of patterns on them around the cranes... From afar, once you know that those are incense paper, it'll looked to you as if they're decorating for a FuNeRaL. That's what crossed our minds at that time.The you know abt the Japanese symbols? Cranes in Japan are considered to give gd fortune. So when you watch tv, when someone is in hospital in a coma, you can see cranes hung all over the room. Right? But in China, Cranes symbolises Accend to the Heavens above... [Cranes are used for women, while lions are used for men... when they accend to the heavens above.]Wah Biang!!! If you use China's culture, when you see those cranes folded using incense paper and with those white cloths hanging around them, it's as if to you, that they're actually cursing you to accend to the heavens above, and literally means they're preparing for UR Funeral. Choi Man! And to think ppl still walk under those incense-paper-folded cranes... -.-lllI'm nt forbidding them to fold the cranes or to deco Esplanade, But FOR GOD'S SAKE! Can't they use other materials? Why must it be incense paper? It's so full of bad luck and misunderstanding. Ppl of other culture might misinterprete the meaning(i din even know their meaning) and think this is a joke that is making fun of them(for those from China. Esplanade is afterall a place where tourists can b sighted), or it's something to them as if the cultures of their countries mean nth to Singaporeans. That person who came up with this SICKENING, STUPID, RETARDED IDEA ought to be sent to Exile! Obviously he/she isnt very famaliar with the cultures of other countries. So since you;re nt sure, WHY DONT U GO MAKE SURE FIRST BEFORE YOU MAKE A FOOL OUT OF URSELF??? Right? You have to see it to believe it guys, lemme tell u. Drop by Esplanade sometime , during ur free time or during the weekends and see for urself. Sigh... Sick man... p.s: too bad they took down the cranes... -.- So u guys can't see. But u can imagine and picture the picture in ur mind de.
