Random-ness

My life is so boring... Work is boring... Admin work is boring... everything's boring BUT i don't miss school... Wahaha!

Went to BookFest yesterday. I didn't find the books that i want! shoosh! At least the things were neatly arranged and there's no problem trying to navigate your way through. Compared to IT fair, the bookfest is practically empty... Guess not many people are interested in reading...

We saw a newcaster promoting his book and my little cousin exclaimed excitedly "wah! got ming xing leh!" Oh gosh! His definition of a star is different from ours... That was super funny man...

I just got pricked by a staplet... i hope i won't die of metal poisioning...

watched National Treasure.. it was cool man!! I like thrilling intelligent clever suspense movie like this... woo hoo!!

Seized by flu

I've got an invasion in my body. The flu virus has successfully entered my body system and is recruiting body cells to join in the combat against my immune system. i'm not letting the enemies win. So i prepped myself with flu pills after each meal to boost my antibodies. Provide them with more equipment to beat the flu virus to its grave...

Oh boy... It's just a flu and i can write a paragraph on it...

I think i'm somewhat racist... People from the same place where my ancestors came from always managed to step on my toes. (i'm beating about the bush because i want to avoid being sued by ministry for harmonious ties in singapore...) I'm quick to discern i'm a singaporean chinese and not some other chinese.

Yesterday was qijiemei outing. We wanted to take neo prints from a particular machine when we saw bags and coins strewn all over the place inside the machine and the eerie part was nobody was around. It's really eerie because for once i thought the people who were taking pictures were sucked into the machine like old wives' tale that camera could actually suck away someone's soul. Plus there were a handful of 1 dollar coins on the table which made me think that something bad really happened cause who in the right state of mind will leave the money that adds up to about twenty or thirty plus there without anyone guarding it... I panicked and ran out of the machine only to find 4 or was it 5 china girls happily squealing over the doodlings on their neo prints.The seven of us were staring and they blissfully ignored us. Ruiying asked them something which i couldn't hear and they just continued to remain unmoved and said that they were going to take neoprints for 2 more times. this meant that they were going to hog the neoprint machine for very long. Naturally, i flared up and said while you're doodling, we can take our pictures first what. They ignored us and continued with their squeals. It's bloody stupid ok! They can doodle while we take our pictures and by the time we had finished, they can take their pictures again... Can anyone see the wondrous plan i'd drawn up?

Finally, another group of people asked them whether they could remove their bags from the machine and they finally did so grudgingly... Like WTH? they don't own the machine.

In case you guys don't know but i just came back from China and ya... i'd met with situations like this before. Of course, there were nice people too but somehow too many black sheep had disillusioned by civic perception of them...

Ok! I shall be more objective. Of course there're obnoxious singaporeans too... like me... ever so sarcastic and cynical and many other 'qualities'.

Oh ya! If everyone is perfect, there won't be the need for law and police. Police and those working in law firms will lose their jobs and upset the whole economic balance creating a hoo-haa... i don't want that to happen. So, i shall remain obnoxious...

Did i mention a bunch of china young girls cut into my queue in HongKong saying that their friends had gotten them tickets for the tram. I'd got ticket in my hand and therefore so what? I raised my voice and said something like "i;ve ticket too" and they apologised and continued to cut queue, shoving their way through. I swear i could feel a lot of sincerity for their apologies man... It was cold and their sincere aplogies really helped warm my heart... I pity the little girl behind me. She was freezing and her ears were red but she didn't have friends to help them purchase tickets therefore she was not liable to cut queue. We were both in the same boat. Friendless... When the tram came, the bunch of china girls dashed all the way to be first in line. I didn't know the tram moves like a bullet train which explained the need to run in case it 'bullets' away... one of the china girls tried to speak english which was hilarious and i made no attempts to drown my laughter. I told you i know i'm obnoxious. The same pitiful china girl went on to flirt with a korean guy, speaking to him in english, with his girlfriend clinging tightly to his arm. Hey! i didn't say the china girl was bitchy did i?

Woo.. some to think of that, i only have a jaudiced impression of young snobbish china girls... where has all the racial harmony values inculcated since kindergarden gone to? Oh gosh! There's something really wrong with me...

Opps! i;m back

I've survived one week of work. yeah! I'm working. My job starts at 8.30 and ends at 6.30pm. That's 10 hours of work. Erm...to be more accurate, 9 hours since 1 hour is dedicated to lunch. if you were to consider commuting, it's be another one hour so i spend about 11 hours out of the house. I'm like virtually non existent in the house since i gotta get 6/7 hours of sleep. which means i only spend about 6/7 hours at home, awake. haha! and since i wake up early in the morning while others are snoozing away, i don't get to see my family much. yups! it's like going to school. Except there's no tests, studies, crammings, burning midnight oil etc... I'm working at upper changi's Kinderland. Does it ring a bell? No.. i'm working in a childcare centre. First week of job, i didn't dare to step out of office since i'm new and stuff... starting from next week, i'm going to mingle with kids. Befriend and play with them? Haha!

basically, my job is just boring admin stuff... It's boring... very boring... so so boring... but i know i'm quite lucky to have a job like this. It's stress free and you know what... i get to enjoy a choir of cries every morning and it'll last till the kids are gone. If i'm lucky, the choir of cries would be reduced to a duet. On occasions whereby lady luck drops a penny in my path, it'll be a solo performance of cries. I've realised that kids these days have magnificent healthy lungs with great air capacity. They cry non stop for hours... is it because of GM food, vaccinations, organic food, antibiotics or something else? Can anyone shine some light on that?

OMG! i think being cooped up in the office for 10 hours per day has made me sarcastic? is this considered sarcastic? (inhales deeply)

which means i don't have much time to play with my darling computer. i hope i can take pictures of the office i worked in soon. Luckily, i've got a companion, elaine, to joke around with when our jobs get too boring...

Kudos to elaine for withstanding my nonsense...

Otherwise, i still like kids...
