Tall Girls and Handphones

Asian girls are generally short compared to caucasian girls who are very tall(in the region of 180cm-190). I guess it's the Asian genes which dictate the height or it's just that asian girl happen to be short as God felt that Asian girls need not have to be tall. I understand the need for these girls to wear high heels as they feel they are too short and they need an extra 5cm to boost their height and confidence. Those magical heels certainly helps short girls feel like tall girls(I'm not making fun of short girls).
I was shocked to see a tall girl in the MRT in high heel as she was already tall and she was one head taller than me. I guess Asian guys will be daunted by her high-heeled height as we are already short to begin with compared to our caucasian counterparts. There could be a number of reasons why she was in tall heels. She would have felt in love with the heels the moment she saw it and she couldn't resist the purchase. Her boyfriend is very tall and she doesn't want to look like a dwarf next to him. She likes wearing heels as she think she's short. I hope not to encounter another 'Yao Ming' who want to look taller as I do not want to contemplate going through the possible reasons of her choice of footwear as their height already draws attention to themselves.
I also encountered a male in his late twenties who didn't look local blasting music from his handphone. I'm sure a pair of earphones will come with the handphone package and he should have made full use of it instead of subjecting me and my friends to old Hindi songs. My Punjabi friend was irritated and amused with his song collection and I was laughing. I told her that the guy was trying to impress her with his song collection or trying to look cool with with music blasting from his latest handphone and he ruined his chances by tripping when the train jerked. Let's be considerate and stop subjecting those poor fellow commuters to lousy music or trying to impress the girl next to you as she might feel irritated!!!

I'm all about the heels. I don't think necessarily it's to make me taller... they're just sexy... everything looks better with heels... and forget the 5cm... 4 inch heels are my norm. Super cute.
