so far,

i have been behaving like an angel and keeping away school from my blog entries

and

that was purely because i haven’t had any lessons yet

and since i haven’t had any lessons yet,

it was unfair to vilify school

now that i had my first lessons of the semester,

i am perfectly qualified to blast school

in my blog i mean, not blast it away like terrorists dumping a bomb in the dustbin in the greenery of ntu

i shall start by stating that

i do not exactly hate school, especially so because i have chosen something i wanna major in

and because i made the decision myself at the ripe old age of 20 years old

i have no reason to start hating my specialisation so soon

in fact, i found the marketing lecture yday morning tolerable

and i didn’t feel like sleeping at all despite the unearthly hours

however,

accounting II was a different story altogether

to start with

it’s held in the nice and comfy mlt

and by nice and comfy

i mean that the seats are actually cushioned, not like the other stiff plastic seats of other lts scattered around in school

that gives me an excuse to comfortably doze off

of course

nice seats do not guarantee a good doze

the credit goes

to

prof branson kwok

he’s amazing

he can laugh happily at his own jokes like they’re so funny we should be busting our guts

well, they’re not funny

at all

and i hate it when lecturers does that

of course it’s perfect if lecturers are friendly and cheerful

it’s a bonus if they have a great sense of humour

but if they don’t they should do some reflection and stop making students suffer through their own brand of humour

in addition, he has an irritating voice

ok, i shall not blame him for the irritating voice since he was born with it

but since his laughter makes his voice more irritating,

he should stop laughing at his own stupid jokes

ah ah i don’t hate him

i have nothing against him

in fact, he’s a great lecturer because he’s nice and friendly

and i believe he must be some genius

i just can’t stand his humour and the fact that he wastes so much time entertaining himself and not having enough time left for the important stuff

that

was lecture 1 of 12

hopefully, he takes us for only half of the semester

at least i’m mentally prepared for the rest of his lectures

and so, it probably means i’ll stop zaoing so many lectures

thank god he’s not my tutor

having attended both lectures despite the 2 hour break in between

i think i’m off to a good start

which explains why i shouldn’t be touching my books at all today

cos today is a day of rest too

i’ve got this new moral principle that saturdays should be a day of rest too, other than sunday

and to my surprise i found many more dvds lying around in the house

that is, more interesting stuff than my father’s english-speaking bruce lee dvd series which we smuggled in from our neighbouring country

i’ve spent half the morning watching lilo and stitch again

and finding nemo

yum

maybe i should walk over to my cousin’s and borrow her la bi xiao xings

btw, i realised maybe the wordings of my blog posts are a little too big

looks weird

so i shall make all readers strain their eyes, just like the good ol’ days

now that i have no lessons for the next hour and edventure can’t be accessed,

lemme preach on the evil intentions of some shops and departments stores over here in the bright sunny island of singapore.

take for example.

the levi’s store in bugis

i dunno if they have done some self-reflection and corrected this fault of theirs,

but well

when i was there about dinosaur years ago,

i was browsing through the stuff in the store (note: browsing)

and i saw a top which was quite pretty

and

i walked out of the store without a closer look

because even a 1.7m tall girl can’t reach the display rack.

and the only pieces around in the whole bloody shop was up there.

they discrminate against short people

and that wasn’t the only time i got discriminated

how many times have you heard people labelling people as “shorties”?

even the usually-nice-and-friendly malaysian does that

and

shops and department stores love placing their stock so high

nobody my height can reach it

those people don’t know what a big market share they’re missing out on, seriously

and

of course

there’s always shops or public places which stick their notices so high up i can’t see it at eye level

so the kind and helpful malaysian had to point out to me to look up, not look straight

and

cars too

i can’t depress the clutch fully and turn back fully

see??

see??

see what i mean?!

today’s a bad day

i realised i may have thrown my mphosis pouch and tissue pouch away by mistake

hopefully i did not,

but the possibility is pretty small, since i don’t see it anywhere in my room

and i left the home this morning for my driving lesson

by the time i reached the bus stop

i discovered i was phoneless

left the bloody phone in the living room while i was looking for the missing pouch

so i went out phoneless and felt naked and defenceless without it

then

i hogged the queue while buying textbooks

got some stares and impatient looks from people

ok la, i admit i deserve it

hey but it’s not as if i enjoy basking in the limelight what!

just that the spastic ocbc atm card screwed up on me

(i think i’m destined to leave the money inside untouched)

and i don’t have enough in my other account to pay for it

i’ll get the ocbc card changed! today!

get rid of the sulky green card and get the new cheery orange one

i bet it’s taking revenge on me for abandoning it for at least 2 years….

thank goodness i have bought all that i need

and that my cashcard has enough money to print out notes and tutorials for the next week

why?

because my bank account is showing unhealthy figures again

it’s destined that i start saving

i’m gonna have my driving again 26th august

i’m already getting the jitters

one month left

to practise and learn

one month isn’t enough!!!

whew

finally finished with the new templates

no big difference

i just wanted the side column to have a scroll bar too

now this whole thing looks suspiciously similar to the president’s template

just black and white versions

well, well,

it’s a good design, that’s why!

thanks, president for giving me the template to alter

though it still looks like yours

am going to resume driving tomorrow

going to shock my driving instructor with the drastic change in hairstyle

lol

i love shocking people

my computer has declared war against me

it refuses to operate gta properly

meaning i can’t even start the damn thing

then the speakers has refused to obey the volume knob

it plays at the same inaudible volume despite me turning it to full volume

and while it plays the quality is like……………….my brother singing.

hahahahahahaha

wait till i’m rich enough to get a laptop on loan from school

then i’ll surf the net in the comfort of my room anytime,

listen to my mayday music even though the cd player in my room is spoilt

oh wow

this very instant when ashin did the “rock” singing thing, the speakers woke up

wah the speakers are like me. only listen to mayday hahahah

ah ah there it goes again

inaudible volume

ok i shall concentrate on my first assignment of the semester for the next couple of hours

i love school!!

you all love school too, don’t you?

if you don’t i won’t be friends with you anymore

cos model students like me only make friends with people who like school

wheeeee!!!

orange’s gonna be my happy colour

just like mayday’s gonna be blue

school’s gonna be gray

cool, huh? i’m gonna colour code my blog posts like some secondary school ah lian

wahahahahhaa

i just discovered a copy of grand theft auto III lying around miserably

ha!

i shall go explore the game now

ha!

haha!

i’m no longer bored and unentertained!!!

i’m traumatised by the 2 ah lians running the mobile phone shop in jurong point

the one on 3rd floor

gosh

they’re bad for health man

all the hokkien vulgarities

the ah lian vs ah beng talk

and the ah lian accent

*cannot take it ah!!*

hahahahaha

oh well.

anyway.

i got something i wanna talk about.

long hair.

those kind of long and neat kind are fine with me, even if they’re rebonded and look like curtains hanging over the face

the kind which irritates me are:

a) permed and looks artificial or appears like the person spent 2 hours on it

b) messy with split hairs (if you don’t have the money and time to look after your hair, cut it short)

c) those people with a bald spot or should i say bald line so bad they look like they’re wearing a hairband in nude colour

d) people who tie up their hair nicely in ponytails and swish them around like horse tails or leave them hanging over the seats on the buses

e) people who have no idea how irritating it is when their hair brushes against you

and can anybody tell me why 80% of ladies refuse to chop off their tresses??

the most common reasons:

1. “my boyfriend / husband likes it”

then get them to leave their hair long

get a life of your own!!! stand up for your rights!!!

2. i look more feminine

yeah. ha.

3. i’ve been keeping long hair since i was a kid

ya, you claimed you disliked boys when you were 8.

so are you going to be a nun?

4. i can’t bear to cut off my hair since i’ve had it for so long

bullshit.

ok la i admit some people cannot have short hair.

like the libya president

but my point is,

people who have long ugly hair should be forced to chop off their locks!

people with neat rebonded hair can be forgiven, provided they don’t swing their ponytails into my face or leave their ponytails hanging over the bus seats

not that i’ll go around cutting off offensive ponytails

i’m a law-abiding citizen who recognises human rights

speaking of being a citizen,

was watching the national day song mtv on channel 8 just now.

the one with kids singing with their mouths wide open

the mtv was supposed to portray happy, carefree kids playing and singing

and

i thought, the kids looks stressed up

quite a few were frowning when they were singing!!

and they looked unnatural

in short, the mtv failed to portray happy kids la.

when was the last time you saw a happy school kid?

my cousin don’t count, cos she likes school.

yes i know of people who likes school so they don’t count as a happy school kid

but i’m talking about the common kids who doesn’t like to study what they’re not interested in

or feels stressed up by the sg educationg system

anyway i think the education system is deterioating.

ANYWAY

school’s starting

and i’m gonna resume my driving lessons

and i still can’t get a new phone all thanx to the bloody singtel

and i managed to set up a stash savings account

and i may be getting my textbooks tomorrow like a geek

and i got new flip flops, 2 new t-shirts, a new waistpouch and a new stapler to start the semester.

not too bad.

and i don’t owe singtel any money

and my bank account reports more than 100 bucks.

finally, life’s not too bad for me.

if any couple wanna irritate me,

they can squeeze into the back of a car with me,

and

a) start sniffing at one another every 15 mins or so

b) pinch or tickle one another as if nobody else is sitting next to them

c) hold on to the other party’s shoulders when the driver makes a turn, as if the lady is going to fly out of the car when there are four people in the back

d) try and move into the same position as the other (when backseat passengers are supposed to alternate their positions “one-in-one-out” with the reason “i wanna be uncomfortable with you” you know, the “let’s go through pain and suffering and hell together forever” kinda thing

e) put their arms around the lady’s waist and irritate the next passenger cos that means less space and also, the guy’s knuckles are resting on the next passengers lap

can you understand how freaking irritating all of that is?!?!

i really can’t stand it

even when i get attached i’ll snap at my boyfriend if he repeats any of the above actions

cannot stand stupid gu niangs

and i think guys should be gentlemen to a limit

not looking after their girlfriends like they’re made of spiderwebs

must carry their little handbags for them when the handbag is so freaking small

must get food for them when the food’s 30cm away from them

must help them apply for stuff as if they’re illterate and doesn’t know how to fill in forms or use the internet

must help them with this and that

gosh

are those actually considered sweet?

i think i’ll feel like i’m a kid who needs help and guidance if someone ever does all that for me

izzit just me,

or are those gu niangs just too spiderwebbish?

and i know of people who actually go through their boyfriend’s or girlfriend’s smses

although they broke up with their boyfriends cos they saw another intimate msg from another girl and they’re thankful that they checked their boyfriends’ phones

but

hey

that’s privacy!

if they don’t trust their boyfriends/girlfriends they shouldn’t be together in the first place

if their boyfriends/girlfriends cheat on them

then well, they’re bad judges of characters and dumb

one reason why i’ve chosen to stay single for the time being at a point in my life

was cos of all these irritating stuff

i don’t wanna preach and turn into an irritating girlfriend without knowing it

i think i’m getting pms

today’s my last day of work

and despite all my complaints and dislike for my in-charge,

i was still sad when i had to leave

cos there were many nice folks around whom i could actually talk to, who makes sense,

and

this morning,

my in charge actually bought me a gift from body shop

no she didn’t buy anything like foot deodorant or body spray which i would have taken to be an insult hahahah

but she bought me some potpourri

and i feel guilty

for disliking her

i mean, i still dislike her

and it would have made me feel better if she hadn’t bought me anything at all.

you get what i mean?

it’s like stabbing her in the back.

anyway, maybe i’ll have a permament-temporary-position ready for me during holidays.

hopefully lah.

at least i’ll be happier with the higher pay and more importantly, people i already know and can communicate with.

more fun working with a bunch of people you can laugh with.

school’s starting.

school’s starting.

yuck.

i’m considering changing my phone plan.

i’m getting ripped off now.

by singtel, lee’s empire, who else?

but if i change, i think i’ll still stick to singtel.

lol.

cos i already get 35% off my plan price.

and after some calculations,

it’s still cheaper than if i switch to the green or orange camps.

should i get a new phone?

i know i’ll never get a samsung e700 lah.

too expensive.

breaks my heart.

hahahaha.

i have been keeping this within me for too long.

i am totally disguted with nkf

yes that’s the organisation which has organised 5 charity shows this year.

offering lucky draws with prizes of cash and condos and cars and what not.

they can offer whatever they want to.

but 5 charity shows a year

is simply too much

i was disgusted with the 3rd already, the “special” they had

now they have one for kids.

are they going to set up different shows for the elderly, middle-aged and toddlers too?

no, i don’t think i’m uncharitable.

i still donate to other charities whenever my bank account allows me to do so.

but i think it’s too much milking all of whatever kindness s’poreans have.

they’re not the only charity organisation around man

and even though i agree that kidney disease patients do require a hell lot of subsidies to keep treatment affordable,

but hey, they have more than enough funds to keep going for another 2 or 3 years!

why the heck do they need to store so much money?!

and what with the president’s charity, the heart foundation one, the community chest one, renci, just how many times do they wanna do charity shows?

i remember there used to be a time when you could walk around singapore on saturdays without donation tins being shoved into your face.

those days are long gone.

i wonder if there will be monthly charity shows someday.

nice warm feeling

i hate guys who are:

• born brainless
• yet act smart
• ugly and try and act handsome
• shameless
• arrogant when they are just small fry
• always blaming everything on everybody else when they are obviously in the wrong
• incapable of doing anything simple
• treat people like dirt
• double-faced
• shallow

yes, people have offended me this week.

specifically, guys have offended me this week.

but i shall be kind and big-hearted

and just glare at them everytime i see them instead of being dripping sarcastic

hahahahaha.

nah, i shall be the sweet girl-next-door who is totally nice and possess zero sarcasm.

deep down in my heart,

i’m cursing them.

hope they get piles.

this colour thing blogger’s offering is great.

now i can express my emotions through colours

wahahahahahah

tamade

i still can’t figure out how the photoblogging thing works

hahahaha

i can’t make it part of my post.

damn.

oh yay i’m not working today.

just in case there are spies around, ahem.

i had reasons.

yeah. hahaha.

anyway, i did manage to accomplish something today - typing out the bloody chinese essay to apply for the gip thingy, and hopefully it does help me get into the programme.

i’m dying to get a breath of fresh air away from my family.

sometimes they really drive me crazy.

well, well, i just did some simple calculations and realised, my job agent didn’t cheat me of my money after all!! hahahahah

instead, thank god they were alert when they did my timesheets, otherwise i’d have been accused of cheating them of their money and landed in changi prison eating waking up at 7 everyday to do froggies or something.

phew.

sigh.

i wish i had more money.

hahahahahhaa

people are never satisfied, eh?

but there’s still a long shopping list to go!!

damn.

when will i ever get rich??

where should i go and what should i do after this?

slogging!

working ot!

catching up with sleep!

living a life with no life!

i’m dying for school to start

on the other hand, i think i’ll miss the few nice folks around my workplace.

my legs are jeelified

from a round of cycling with my dad

age is not proportional to energy level.

according to the global immersion programme talk which i attended today,

i gotta churn out an essay,

in order to apply for the GIP thingy.

what’s so great about a pathetic little essay?

of course, being an ex-gp class-topper, hahahaha must hao lian a bit

writing an essay is nothing!

the challenging part is,

since i wanna apply for the china one,

i gotta write a damn chinese essay.

what the heck.

and considering i haven written anything in chinese for more than 2 years,

they should give me priority for effort and sincerity.

so for the next few weeks,

i’m gonna work on this masterpiece of mine…..

there’s finally a fast food outlet in ntu, not burger king, but at least its the golden arches, and they’re selling at lower prices than outside…..

which deserves some celebration, cos at least they’re relatively fast when they serve their food, with the exception of the golden arches at west coast park, that is.

and after the sinful large fries i had,

i went sWiMmInG again!!!!

hahahahaha

yeah, by this time you realised i applied for leave.

main reason was to attend the talk.

partly also so i can enjoy swimming in public pools while normal human beings are at work or school.

also to get away from my smelly colleagues.

well anyway i headed for the jurong east swimming complex instead of my favourite queestown.

big mistake.

it was still pretty populated.

and the water was dirty.

filthy.

with bits of hair and wet dustballs floating around in the water. the kind which accumulates in the bathroom when you don’t clear the dead hair or wash your toilets.

disgusting.

and the changing rooms and toilets weren’t that clean either.

at least they’re dirty when compared to queenstown standards.

the indian lady at queenstown swimming complex is doing a great job, seriously.

which concludes.

i’ll stick to dear old queenstown in future.

speaking of which,

i think i’m gonna have to start driving lessons again.
