My parents decided that on Sunday would be our family outing day and we go out for dinner and shop for new year goodies. We took a taxi to Orchard road to buy my new table tennis court-shoes and a new water bottle for my sister. Just then, a young woman, around 23 to 27 years of age, came to this shop selling bikini and woman's necessaries. She scouted around her something that she wanted to buy, and after 15 minutes of searching high and low, she finally found what she wanted- a brand new bikini set. Just as she was about to bring the set to the cashier, another woman snatched the bikini set from the young woman and shouted:'' hey! i saw this first, so this is mine!''. The other woman retaliated by saying:'' First come first serve!''.
This ended up in a cat fight and both woman were snatching the bikini furiously, my mother tried to go forward to intervene but ended up having a cut on her arm caused by the woman's long and sharp finger nails. Suddenly, a loud ripping sound could be heard, ''Tzzzzp'', the bikini was torn into two parts. The shop owner looked at both the woman furiously and demanded that they both pay for the price of the bikini set, which cost approximately 80 dollars.
Both woman were ashamed of themselves for causing such a loud commotion, they hung their heads in shame ,passed the money to the shop owner and scurried off hurriedly. We were utterly ashamed of the two Singaporeans. They're behavior has badly reflected on Singapore and i feel that Singaporeans can do a better job by giving way and forgiving others
