my keyboard’s so amazingly clean i feel like licking it!!

lol

i just cleaned it on sunday, wiped the keys one by one.

and voila!

i have a shining keyboard!

although itz kinda yellowed (hey, itz been in use for a loooong loooong time!)

but it looks CLEAN.

much better than the dirty, grimy, sticky keyboard with a layer of dirt on it.

i feel like those housewives on tv who gets high over a clean and sweet-smelling sock fresh from the laundry.

straits times’ been talking abt the new prime minister’s national day rally for the past few days, and i’m sick of it.

in fact, i was pretty much disgusted by the national day rally.

firstly,

ALL the local channels were broadcasting it live.

which i only found out when i started surfing through all the available channels, which isn’t a lot, since i don’t subscribe to scv.

what’s this about a democratic society?

i don’t get to miss the national rally if i don’t like it?

i have to watch it?!

what the……

secondly,

they, or should i say, he, was grossly late.

late in the sense that he took waaaaay longer than the planned time to deliver his speech.

it is basic courtesy to be on time and punctual, no matter who you are!

all the more he should be on time, because he’s the prime minister!

all that crap about punctuality being an important part of a gracious society,

and all these takes place in front of the nation.

has he ever imagined that some of the working crew or the audience might have appointments after that national day rally, and by extending the time, he is causing them to be late?!

and what’s more,

i believe a speech can be memorable and effective,

even if it’s short and sweet.

there’s no point giving analogies and stories for almost every policy he wants to carry out.

too much analogies do make the audience irritated.

in my opinion,

they should either fire the speech writer,

or if he had written the speech himself,

take up some speech presentation classes.

and apply audience analysis as well.

meet my new tech-savvy pet : wa-wa-meow!!

hahahahaha

itz a species called 128mb thumbdrive,

requires no food and sleep.

and best of all,

ITZ FREE!

courtesy of mf.

=)

ok, don’t ask me how the name wa-wa-meow came along.

the malaysian and i have been holding naming contests for our stuff.

so the textbook i lent her (which she promises to treat with love and respect) is christianed kiki lala.

ok i will stop playing with wa-wa-meow now

and concentrate on my assignment.

i’ve got lots to catch up with.

did i tell you people i adore school?

wahahahha.

no i’m not on drugs.

but hey, it’s union day today!

not that i know what the heck goes on on union day,

but lessons are cancelled from 10am to 2pm.

and miraculously,

all my tutors chose to cancel their lessons and not arrange any make-up lessons.

yes, even for accounting II tutorial.

how rare is that?!

as rare as a bloody piece of cow meat, i would say.

ok, i admit no lessons does not equate to not having to do work.

i was drawing up a schedule for all the deadlines this semester,

and i discovered most of my deadlines are in about 3 to 4 weeks’ time.

gosh.

busy, busy, busy.

well, well.

just now while i was doing my work,

the president chose to practise her french with me,

and intelligently said, “mayday sont taiwanese musiciesn. ce sont tres magnifique.”

ha.

that, of course, managed to catch my attention.

since i am totally ignorant of french,

she translated for me, “mayday are taiwanese musicians. they are very good.”

ah.

she’s good at communicating her intentions to people, isn’t she?

smart president.

anyway.

since she is a beginner in the mind-boggling language of french,

i decided to get a second opinion.

and this online translation thing says, “mayday sont des musiciens ta?wanais. ils sont très bons.”

oh well.

who should i trust?

ok, president, i’m not doubting you, cos online stuff can’t be trusted sometimes.

but erm…..

all right, all right, it’s still quite cool to know french,

and you are only in your 4th week!!

way to go!!

ok i said i won’t be blogging for the next fews days cos i declared myself to be in a bad mood.

i take back my words.

i’m high today,

cos i did a fantastic presentation today.

or at least, i think i did.

ah, according to my ab 214 business communication textbook,

what matters is not how well i think i did in the presentation,

but rather, how well the audience understood and absorbed what i was presenting to them.

oh well, do i care?

no!

hahahaha i think i did a fantastic presentation and that’s all that matters.

anyway, i wow-ed my team mates and friends with my powerpoint masterpiece.

lol.

see?

the blob can be pretty good at some stuff if she puts some effort in it.

besides, i seemed pretty intellectual and knowlegable during the Q & A session.

hahahahahha.

i’m a genius! i’m a genius!

all except one part when this stupid geek of an IT guy

raised a point, and was skeptical about my explanation, which is a fact!

well, has he ever done reasearch on this topic?!

has he even read anything about it?!

i bet not!

so who the hell was he to doubt my explanation?!

stupid geek. stupid gay with ugly shoes.

ok i have zero objections against gays,

but you can be a nice gay or an irritating gay,

just like there can be nice guys, nice women, irritating guys, irritating women, nice lesbians, irritating lesbians.

i just hate irritating people.

anyway, all these is to satisfy my thirst for wow-ing people,

and of course,

my egoistic nature that everyone on this world should agree with my viewpoints.

and they should.

cos i make sense!

which is why everytime someone disagrees with me, i debate very emotionally.

that is, if i’m interested in the topic in the first place.

so, i conclude that

those who do not agree with me are obviously dumber than i am.

you don’t think so?

ok, you are dumb.

wahahahahahha.

next time, if i meet conceited IT people like this irritating gay i have just mentioned,

i shall just go HMPF!

then i’ll turn my nose up in a arrogant but elegant manner and ignore them.

but.

no matter how well i presented today,

some things will never change.

like how i did not get the email for the gip interview thingy.

(p.s. president, really glad you got selected for the interview man!

thanx for telling me you got the email, cos i’d have kept on waiting for THE mail…

hope you get through the interview!)

yeah, i’m kinda disappointed, even though i never expected to get in anyway.

i know they’ll more or less look at our grades,

and my grades are really bad.

but still, i’m really keen on going.

let’s hope a miracle happens.

even if no miracles take place, i’ll slog my life away this semster to pull up my grades

and try again next semester.

after all, if i manage to do a few more fantastic presentations like today’s ,

i may score lotz better than last semester.

you guys believe in me too, don’t you?

here i am, sitting in front of a laptop with a cracked corner, trying to keep my eyes open at an unearthly hour of 5.13am.

i can assure anyone that the number of times i have stayed up beyond 3 am is definitely less than 10.

throughout my 20 years of living on this earth.

and the fantastic reason is cos

i’ve just spent more than 6 solid hours working on the presentation slides.

and of course, typing out the self-evaluation.

gosh.

and my dad msged me after midnight, asking me to call him if i were still awake.

so i did.

and.

he just wanted to see if i was sleeping.

according to some sources he heard that i was still awake,

and decided to find out if the news of the millenium was reliable.

ugh.

i.

shall.

retire.

to.

bed.

now.

i mean,

now.

i’m utterly disgusted with my fats.

lol.

ah, all along i know i got too much flab

but i was looking at this video shots of us doing presentations so that i can do my self-evaluation,

and i realised i looked like a penguin moving around presenting the stuff.

i should do something about those fats.

ugh.

ugly.

ok, anyway.

school’s disgusting too.

i gotta hand up the spastic self evaluation on monday, and i only got to know about it 2 hrs ago.

and i gotta rush some presentation slides for a tuesday presentation.

sad to say,

i volunteered to do the slides cos i’m atoning for my sins.

i accidentally forgot to turn up for the previous group discussion.

was 3/4 way home on friday, when my friend called me to tell me they were outside lt 25.

and i was wondering why the heck she was telling me she’s outside lt 25.

and i went, “and so your point is……”

turned out they didn’t make me go back to school,

so i shall do the slides to atone for my disgraceful actions.

i wanted to get an organiser today,

so i can keep track of my discussions and deadlines and tuition timings (may be getting one more assignment) and driving and stuff

but

organisers are expensive stuff

saw some nice ones at muji

but muji stuff can be quite expensive at times.

so i shall live without an organiser for the time being and see how everything goes.

hopefully my life will untangle itself.

wipe that disgusted look off your face this very minute.

because i believe that everyone on this earth loves gossip.

everyone.

even if you declare to the whole world that you don’t gossip, and you don’t like gossip,

deep down in your heart,

you still like hearing stuff about people you know.

i don’t mean i like the entertainment kinda gossip,

especially since it’s usually untrue.

and besides, entertainment stuff just changes too fast.

like some blonde bimbo teenybopper by the name of britney spears

who got married, divorced, and decided to get married again,

all within such a short period of time.

so, entertainment gossip does not interest me.

what leaves me bloodthirsty is……..

gossip about people i know.

maybe not jsut rumours and baseless gossip,

but news about them which i get from credible sources.

ah!

the more the better.

its spices up all the gatherings and meals.

even phone conversations are extremely boring without gossip.

come on,

gossip is the base for human communications!

at least, that’s what i believe.

if not for gossip,

people will not care about how others are doing or what other people are like.

then,

they will not be bothered to share about their thoughts with their peers and families.

when that happens, they will find little need to talk and communicate!

other than saying, “i wanna eat.”

“i wanna sleep”

“i wanna listen to mayday”

you get what i mean?

speech and communications will be minimised so much life gets so boring.

and that is the worst scenario that can ever happen in singapore.

can you imagine what your life will be like without gossip?

you will work. or attend school. go home. sleep.

stuff like that.

especially since nothing is good on tv anymore.

more than 3 times this week,

i was surfing the channels, local channels, since i don’t have scv.

for example. ndp day.

channel 8.

ndp.

channel u.

ndp.

channel 5.

ndp.

channel newasia.

ndp.

basically, all the channels were broadcasting ndp.

what the………

and today morning.

channel 8.

taiwan show.

channel u.

taiwan show.

channel 5.

wheel of fortune.

channelnewsasia.

nothing interesting.

see what i mean?

even with mediaworks entering the market,

tv is still as boring.

i would say that after mediaworks joining the industry,

the dramas have gone from bad to worse.

for channel 8 lah.

channel u is still a little too new.

at least channel i got some decent shows once in a while.

ok, yes, i was saying life in singapore’s boring.

that day, during a project discussion in which we were supposed to compare and contrast the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of sentosa and the upcoming disneyland in hk.

and we were all criticising how pathetic sentosa is.

fake beach, imported sand, lousy theme parks.

i seriously can’t think of any interesting and attractive tourist spots in sg.

which is why whenever is see tourists visiting sg,

i really wonder why they bothered to visit sg in the first place.

itz a total waste of time and money.

food’s better and cheaper in msia.

no real beaches.

zoos, birdparks and stuff like that as tourist spots, which isn’t really special at all.

don’t get me wrong, i’m not anti-singapore.

i like the peace and stability here, even though stability always comes with a price.

and the standard of living here isn’t as obscene as places like japan and uk.

but still…………

ok, back to my point.

i conclude that gossip spices up my life.

ugh

too many projects and presentations.

itz eating up my free time.

today’s supposed to be a free day.

but here i am, surfing the net for information for my presentation discussion later.

presentation’s tomorrow.

great, great.

in fact, i have 2 presentations tomorrow.

and 3 tutorials to prepare.

meaning i got to plough through readings for 3 different modules.

did i mention that i have one whole module covering globalisation??

ha,

globalization used to be my fav topic for gp.

ok, i’m not hating it now.

just that one whole module (12 weeks) of globalization causes a little of indigestion.

sigh.

gotta cancel my swimming plans again.

damn.

uuuuuuuuuggghh.

i hate rude people.

and if you are ever going to be rude to me,

please reconsider

because i will hate you for the rest of my life, snap at you, curse you

and make your life miserable

unless you are on my buddee list, that is.

and this morning while i was i was attending classes

i got one such rude message.

i was told, through sms,

“eh ******* here. if you are in school today can you go to *******’s room and tell her that her phone is left in blah blah blah”

i was extremely pissed.

firstly,

this irritating person does not keep in contact unless he wants to achieve some aim,

and in this case,

he msges me so that i will pass a msg.

next,

basic courtesy requires that you use the word “please” when you are asking of a favour.

not like others are your maid who will humbly follow your orders.

i think this mentioned brat has been commanding his maid around too much.

also,

being in school does not necessarily mean that you will happily climb up a hill in such a bloody hot weather just to pass a message to someone you don’t exactly like or know very well.

lastly,

i still hold grudges against that asshole for some things he said and the intentions he had behind those words.

i hate despicable people, and he’s one of them.

in fact, i will use the word jian on him.

fits him like a glove.

so,

i told him civily, “i can’t. i got lessons.”

considering my usual temper, i was already incredibly nice by replying to the msg.

and he replied, “very good boss. very good. hahaha”

even with the “hahahaha” behind,

i take that as a very rude message.

because

i am NOT obliged to do anything for anybody,

especially if i detest that SOMEbody.

and i certainly have the freedom to choose whether i wanna take the effort to climb up a hill or not, to pass a stupid message or not.

so, i replied, “i only help nice people and you are not on the list.” and something about not wanting to climb up a hill to pass a message. something like that.

basically it meant you suck. get lost.

i still think that’s too mild.

i wish i’m fast and sarcastic enough to give a killer reply which is so damn insulting he’ll walk around with his head down for the rest of the day.

but never mind.

it’s good enough.

school is finally a little more interesting than ever,

with the exception of accounting II of course.

but overall it isn’t too bad, esp with the marketing modules.

i’m proud to declare that i’m actually putting in some effort in my work.

esp the projects coming up.

and i’ve actually got projects and presentations for all 4 modules i’m taking this semester,

which is kind of crazy, with all the deadlines and presentation dates.

but well.

itz better than statistics quizzes and financial management weekly questions and stuff.

love the shocked faces i see when people realise that i’m less laid back nowadays.

my friend of 6 years was staring at me with increasingly wide eyes and opened jaws when i was contributing a point to a project we were discussing.

see?

nobody believes i can talk sense.

lol.

nvm, itz gonna be my new image.

from now on, i’m going to sputter marketing terms like nobody’s business.

ok, ok, i’m just kidding.

i have zero intentions of speaking like a toot.

going off to indonesia for the weekend.

finally.

some relaxation.

ok

i admit i failed to put up the music file

stop laughing, stop laughing at me!!!

i am not to be ridiculed

will anyone please enlighten me on the art of html…..

ha!

i finally got off my bum, went down to the funky chinatown cd shop

and got myself the first mayday cd album

and another mayday 4-dvd-pack

yeah

new stuff

ok

why did i feel the sudden urge to get this cd again?

cos i decided to introduce to everybody who reads this blog,

the funeral song which SHALL be played during my funeral in future.

ah, i may be only 20

but planning my funeral is as important as buying insurance, get the idea?

ok anyway,

if any of you guys will know me long enough till the day i die,

please make my parents/siblings/future husband/future kids

play this song during my funeral wake

this is, of course, a song by mayday

song title: hei! wo yao zou le

i shall put up the lyrics soon

and why did i choose this song?

ok the concert version sounds happier

but this isn’t too bad either

i chose this song,

cos it sort of says, hey, i gotta go now,

but everything’s gotta end sooner or later

and it’s time for me to explore another new world

more or less la

go figure the lyrics out when i put it up

most importantly,

this is a happy song!

ok, at least it has a happy tune

rather than those wailing tunes

isn’t a funeral already sad enough?

i want to leave a happy ghost pacified by mayday music

and i want to be thinking,

HA! i lived a good life! a happy one!

now you guys go on suffering while i go on to paradise!

get the idea?

itz perfectly all right if you don’t.

not many people understand my blabbering.

about me

I am the most whiny blogger you'll ever see. But let me get sufficient sleep and food and you'll see that happiest blogger ever.
