Cruel gestures

Hawaiian Airlines charged a lady $109 for her request to cancel a plane ticket. Her reason was extremely valid and understandable. Her mother had just passed away and obviously could not take the flight.

Their reason was due to administrative costs. I think they value profits above basic human relations. She had cancelled the hotel reservation too and was not charged anything by Delta. What does this say about the airline??

At the recent New Year countdown at Vivocity, Michelle Chia unknowingly showed what she was wearing underneath her mini dress. It was not any skimpy underwear though, as she had taken precautionary measures to ensure her modesty. Thus I don't see what the big issue is over her unintended exposure.

The fact that it was put on Youtube shows that the person saw it with voyeuristic intentions. Yes, she may have been featured on FHM as the sexiest female before but this gesture merely mocks her carelessness and turns it into a pornographic experience for this person. Though he gains pleasure from this, it is terribly callous of him to do it at her expense. She had not intended to be a source of sexual gratification for him and this makes him seem even more diabolical.
