It puzzles me. Some people simply cannot tahan (tolerate) me carrying my lil fan all around. But whenever i set the fan on a table, they would invariably pick it up and start fanning themselves. In fact, how much they rant about me and my lil fan is directly proportional to how likely they are to pick up my fan to use for themselves. Weird.

For me-self, personally, i do not see any ramification in carrying a lil fan and using it as per desired. It would have been no different from carrying an umbrella and using it when it rains or shines. Do not be surprised though, that there are people who refuse to carry umbrellas no matter the weather conditions. So i guess its only reasonable that there are people who don't carry lil fans to fan themselves.

But i think most of the people are actually put off by the pictures of lil dancing monkeys on the fan rather than by the fan itself. The childish looking lil fan seem to be of a stigma that parallels pink shirts or pink t-shirts on guys. No, i'm not asking guys to wear pink underwear here, not that it matters if no one is gonna see it though...

But surely stigma can only arise when something is different from the norm. So if not many people around beloved sing.ah.pore carries lil fans, what difference does it make if the fans had lil pictures of dancing monkies as opposed to pictures of mountains forests and valleys?
