Little boy

Physical appearance

The little boy had black bowl hair cut, was wearing a sleeveless red shirt and a pair of beige shorts with a ’68′ print at the bottom left. He has big black eyes and looks to be around the age of 5-6 years old. Matching his light clothing, were a pair of grey with yellow sandals. Why was he not feeling cold in the strongly air conditioned bus?

Actions

The boy tends to question alot and is very fluent in his English because of the way he spoke when reading aloud the sign boards of various shop houses. He is whispering to his grandfather about something i didn’t know about until his grandfather asked that the grandmother pass him the ‘Fairprice’ plastic bag which the boy later peed into. Don’t they know that there is a camera right above them? Wonder if the driver saw it? After peeing, the boy seems to have lost his ‘Gundam’ action figure. So he asked his granfather to help him look for it. When his grandfather found it, the little boy was asking his mother for another sweet and said that it would be his last. He continued bargaining with his mother until his mother finally gave it to him.

Interpretation

He may be going home because it is rather late in the night. Maybe he has a little too much to drink before boarding the bus or he has a weak bladder. Apparently, this boy has a very short attention span because after asking his grandfather to search for the action figure with him, he stopped and started to ask for more sweet.

Man

Physical appearance

This man is a little on the ‘dark’ side? He wore a black shirt, a pair of dark blue jeans and a pair of black sneakers. He has black spike hair and looks to be around the age of 25-27 years old.

Action

He had his eyes closed, so i could observe him long enough for me to finish this assignment. On his lap was a black ipod, which he was listening to while bobbing his head to the beat of the music. Both of his index fingers were pointed out and he was moving like there were actual drums in front of him. His actions were so fast and obvious that most of the people were giving him some kind of weird look, my mother included. I guess he didn’t care for the stares considering that he did these rapid actions throughout the bus ride.

Interpretations

Maybe he is a drummer for a band because the way his feet is tapping to the rhythm and his hands are like holding 2 sticks while drumming. He looked like he knew where all the parts of the drum was suppose to be. Or maybe he was just trying to act cool?
