Random-ness
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
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
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...

Yellowcard - Only One
I like this song!! although the lead reminds me of draco malfoy... i don't know why... just remind me of draco malfoy for no apparent reason. I don't see the link... maybe cos of his hair?
Funny Cousin
i was doing chem paper 2 when my cousin decided to pop into my room. Being the ever kaypoh-est lil brother, he stood beside me and stared at my paper. Btw, i was doing a question on periodic table which requires you to write a lot of gibberish things in order to explain the trends across the periodic table. I was writing blah blah blah... and he had this awed yet mixed with shock kind of expression.
cousin: you mean i have to write and do all this when i'm in sec 4
me: JC. jiejie not in sec sch anymore...
cousin: you mean i have to write this in JC? (horrified)
me: ya... Gp's worse. you have to write 3/4/5 pages of essay. Cannot leave space.
cousin: (horrified expression)
So, i expect he won't dare to imagine how life will be like after he leaves primary school. I know it's bad to say such things to traumatise little kids but then ...you can't expect me to say something like jc is so fun! you get to climb that awesome monkey bar during recess, toss frisbee during break, drink coca cola mixed with f&n orange with ice cream soda with grape juice...( I heard that kids are drinking this sorts of nonsense) that will be telling a lie! it's better to tell the truth yea?
anyway, that funny cousin say my uncle lying on the bed watching tv and popped the most incredulous thing...
cousin: you have a lot of armpit hair... want me to pluck for you?
i laughed until i could hardly breathe... so funny! he looked so innocent when he said that...
Back to reality! i'm sudenly very afraid for my cousin. I'm scared he'll become a sissy in future. I think he mixes too much with the girls. The men are always working and hardly at home. We have proportionately more girls than guys... that explains the volunteer-to-shave-armpit-hair incident cause girls have the aversion to armpit hair... hehe!
anyway, i think i screwed up my maths and chem paper 3. Imagine having bio paper 2 and maths paper 2 on the same day. It was akin to murder! hai~
i'm depressed... ...

Can you guess the meaning? Don't refer to the dictionary? what does it sound like or look like to you?
It was my first seeing that word, it looked and sounded like some spanish food to me...
doesn't it?
Huichan doesn't agree... she said i'm always thinking of food...
But, it really sounds like food mah... not meh?
Anyway, you know what is it like to wake up at 3 am with hiccups...
wide awake because you are hiccuping nonstop. anyway, i had the 'honour' of experiencing that one fateful morning ...Took a long time for the hiccup to cease and for me to drift back to la la land...
it's not funny k! i had to scramble all the way to the kitchen to get a cup of water...
I'm a cynical person...
that was kinda random i know...

new bf
hey hey! i'm going to tell you about this funny incident which happened one week ago at Toa Payoh. Hazel was standing at the roadside waiting for uncle to fetch her to some ulu place to celebrate her another uncle's birthday. There was another lady standing ahead of her, flagging desperately for a taxi. Hazel stood near the road hoping that her uncle would notice her since it was dark and her uncle has lao hua yan... That lady somehow inched closer to her. Hazel suspected that lady thought she was competing with her for a taxi. Hazel moved away from her, the lady got closer. Hazel was damn irritated. Hazel moved inwards, away from the edge of the kerb. The lady stood in front of her, flagged a taxi, taxi stopped and she walked away leaving the taxi driver totally clueless. The taxi driver stared at Hazel, Hazel Stared back. The driver's stare slowly turned to glare... Hazel looked away feeling dumbfounded... what's wrong with the lady?
In conclusion, i'm not the only weird person on earth...

cool bands
i like this song! i secretly think shayne is the long lost brother of JT. since both of them can reach high notes equally well. both quite hot. Even the way they sing, more or less the same... (i think the model in the mtv is taller than him... wahaha!)
cool bands
i'm currently in love with this song... i prefer the original version without timbaland. somehow, i think thr version whereby timbaland feats one republic does not sound as nice...

why so crude?
i know it's none of my business but somehow the way the father disciplines his child was not the type that i would agree on. Slapping the child on the face. And it's not some light slapping... i heard a loud piack! ok... damn scary la...
Even a child has self esteem. Imagining being slapped in public. Does anyone care how he feels? obviously the parents don't. I know kids can be naughty but they are born to be so right? like who was a saint when they were young? certainly not me... Even if parents want to mete out physical punishments, i think they should do it in a private vicinity called 'HOME'. in public, stern warning or a glare will do... if the child is really too naughty then slap on the legs/buttocks la... why slap the face?
That family had a pram which obviously blocked the cleaners' way cause they were pushing a trolley. The parents just sat that and watch when an old man was having a difficulty pushing his way through the tables, past the trolley that was obviously taking up space. There was plenty of space available elsewhere... why did they have to smack it right in everyone's path? cow's brain... The father just sat and stared. I imagined he was gloating at the old man having a hard time pushing his way through. Rat's brain...
One poor boy walked past and accidentally hit a plastic bag which was on the pram onto the floor... he didn't know he had accidentally knocked something off but his sister behind him saw it and picked up the plastic bag and placed it back into the pram. you know what the father said? "F*** THAT BOY!!" damn loudly... i was happily devouring my fish and chips and i my instant reaction was to drop my fork and stared at him. "That's the idiot boy" he said to his wife and pointed to the boy... i stared at him and he had the cheek to stare back. since my family clearly outnumbered them. I knew we were gonna be on the winning side even when a fight breaks out. SO, lao niang stared back!
it's not as though the plastic bag was filled with glassware or something. It was some plastic wrapper from Popular... why use such a crude language and on front of the kids somemore.
I wonder how the children will grow up to be like with their dad spewing profanities in front of them like an automatic tennis ball dispenser... i bet by the age of 12, all of them will be masters of profanities. hai~ can't stand the cocky attitude of the dad. My heart goes out to the child.
bought donuts from donut factory yesterday. i was sitting down on the mrt when two kids playing lost their balance and toppled onto the left hand corner of the box of donuts! they dented the box. Fortunately, the part which was dented was empty. The donuts were already in my and huichan's tummies... heng... the rest of my donuts were unharmed. If not i go report police already. The mum apologised and did i say that i didn't even make a sound nor raise an eyebrow? I was shocked la... but then just sigh and accept the fact that my donuts are squashed and forgive. Kids ma... they are meant to be stupid, playful and naughty... at least they weren't drooling anymore...
my heart skipped a beat when they landed on my box k... no kidding... precious donuts! wahaha!

im back
I've survived prelims...
prelims was... sucky... some papers were going the extra mile to kill us.. like chem. I did not have enough time to do chem mcqs. It was somewhat like tikam tikam. I had to play the guess-and-shade game... wth! i've to brace myself when results come...
if prelims were to continue for 2 more weeks, i bet my life will be shortened by 5 years...
hai...
oh ya! i had a damn scary experience last wednesday...
i was taking bus 9 home when this guy who looked very dazed board the bus and sat beside me. i caught a whiff of glue... not the one we use as a substitute to our saliva so that we can paste a photo of our bf in the sketch book but the one used for industrial purposes. The type which has a strong smell that supposedly make you 'high'.
anyway, that guy kept ducking his head into his shirt which was weird. like who will do that... so i couldn't help noticing him. His expression was weird. It's as though his body is there but his soul is in another dimension. the strong smell of glue was unbearable and made me nauseated. i suspected he was sniffing glue underneath his shirt...
my suspicion was confirmed when that guy was alighting the bus. I saw him clutching this bag of yellow vicous liquid... damn gross k... imagine he sat beside me for 15 minutes. My heart nearly stopped beating. Can anyone imagine? he might slap me to death, punch me in my stomach till i vomit out my guts, or simply force the vile damn glue into my nostrils and i can't breathe thus die... my life was in danger. Yet, i didn't dare move away in case he suspect i want to report to the bus driver and grab hold of my wrists and fling me onto the chair and sit on me... ah!!!!!!! i was so scared...
why do i have to meet such things? Like the other time, i saw a snatch thief emptying his loot at the overhead bridge ...
that tells me i need to buy more insurances. In case...
i saw four guys with long hair. below shoulder length... yuck! i don't like guys with long hair. One of them was paul twohill... eee...whatever...

last day of school
We celebrated teachers' day during GP. Our plan was this: Adillia complains that she has stomach cramps and need to go sickbay with zheya accompanying her. Then she'll sneaked out of school to buy cake for mrs ho and run back.
Our plan nearly didn't manage to take place because mrs ho came into the class and announced "i'm not feeling well today. I think i'm going to throw up. I really can't teach you all. I'm feeling shivery all over. I'm going to pass you the entry proofs and i'll leave." the rest of us were dumbfounded. Quick thinking adillia and zheya decided to leave at the moment. Our plan was pushed forward. Time passed at snail's pace when they were gone. We started bombarding her with questions to make her stay. It was hilarious seeing the whole class suddenly so enthu in asking questions non stop and was united in our attempts to make mrs ho stay. quite sadistic come to think of it. we were like stopping a very sick person from going back to rest... opps! anyway it was worth it because mrs ho was touched. Even though she was ill, she was a good sport and still went around cheerily to take pictures.
After that, we went under lt1 to take class pics. We attracted alot of attention... we did this pic whereby everyone jumped at the same time. Cool right... too bad i don't have the pics with me now... a guy in my class looked like an idiot jumping so many times ALONE cause there were problems trying to take proper pics of him. He jumped too high out of camera's range i think... it was both embarrassing and fun! :)

I now have three ulcers! From one to two and then THREE!! Am i supposed to rejoice at the fertility of my ulcers or not? AH!!!!
I can't eat properly since it's damn painful and i'm experiencing some sort of loss of appetite... yucks!!
I don't know why my econs teacher scheduled the econs test tomorrow afternoon which is meant for yr 2 cgs to go outing with their CT, celebrating teachers' day in advance. I know it's bad of me to think this way but still i secretly harbour this thought that she purposely scheduled it to be tomorrow cause nobody wants to celebrate staff day for her... :P
I met Vanessa at Zap and she proudly showed me her phylogenetic tree? i have no idea what's that. I think i saw a tree with a chimp and other animals on it. Come to think of it now, the chimp doesn't really resemble a chimp... oh well...
AH!! I'm supposed to study 'ROLE OF GOVERNMENT'.
I'm not an econs-phile... econs is notmy cup of tea...
