I'm restless. Simply cant start on my unfinished report. Need to calm myself down. Ever had this feeling that you wish to do something really out of this world but have no idea what to do?
I guess i'm going to do my work for a few hours and run out again.
Yesterday's head lines on The Sundays Times - about the sports' couple and how incompatible they are. I'm curious, what makes the media think that we want to know about that? Is that news? It isn't even talking about a break up, just a speculated break up, an analysis of how not compatible the couple is. wth? What is our papers coming to? I wonder how the heck did the reporter go about sourcing for information.
reporter: "Do you think they are getting on well"
Friend: "They are going through some bad patches now..."
reporter: "Bad patches, what do you think cause them?"
Friend: "Family background, language barrier..."
reporter: "Do you think all these will cause them to break up?"
Unbelievable...
Yup i did read the report, because i wanted to know what's the big deal such that it actually is worthy of a front page coverage of the "news". and it turns out, it is a freaking analysis of how the relationship of our sports golden couple... I can only imagine how they'll feel once they see the report.
LJW: Oh look! Our friends are commenting on OUR relationship in the National papers!"
S: Oh yeah! We're on the front page!!
LJW: Looks like they dun think we're very compatible...
S: Oh dear, what do you think?
... It is a fact that friends will evaluate their friends' relationship behind their backs, it is worse to do it to their face, now u put in on the papers? My sympathies man.
Negative about anything i have been seeing lately. Cannot see the silver lining behind this hazy weather.
Nope, i'm not going to start about stupid indonesians who burn the forest. Instead, i wanna talk about Singaporeans.. Chinese Singaporeans to be more specific. Yes, we are having a very hazy sky over here lately. Yes, i am angry with stupid Indo officials who are not doing anything about it and the president's words which don't mean a thing. Yes, i am very much affected by the haze as you are.
But friends, in the midst of this haziness, is it possible not to burn the incense now? My parents and grandparents are guilty of this too, so i know! If you wanna add on to the pollution den u have no right to complain okie? Smokers and the people who burn the paper alike! It is I!!! who don't smoke, don't burn paper, don't drive who shld complain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is I who go running regularly shld complain!
And even I, since i pillion on my friends' bikes, decided not to because i am an accomplice some how.
The point is, stop complaining and do whatever you can to salvage the situation. Not to worsen it. Not to say that, "why should i restrict myself when it is the others who did this upon me?" Stop that self-pitying mentality, and do yourself some good! You can definitely continue to do what u normally do and in the end you'll be the one that is the worse hit. So what is the point? The wind is not going to change direction suddenly and the incense smoke will start blowing towards indonesia. U cannot hold their hand up for them and make them pledge that they'll never burn the forest again. Nothing will come out of the complaining, so why not do something that is within your means?
I hate Singaporeans at hawker centres. For all of you who don't know, my parents own a stall selling carrot cake and char kway teow. and I have to go help out once in a while. I hate them because you can see some of the most demanding, unreasonable, snobbish, petty and hateful side of Singaporeans. Some of them make me feel as if all hawkers are out to cheat their money...
Customer : One carrot cake.
Me : Black or white?
C : er.... Black..
Me: With chilli?
C : abit.
Me: Where do you sit?
C : There (points to the seats behind our stall which is blocked by the whole stretch of stalls...)
Me: Near where ah?
C : there, the laksa store there loh...
Me: No number?
C : don't know leh..
Me: Okie (makes a mental note of the color of the clothes and the stupid face)
C : Small one hor...
At which point, i just wanna scold F***
Let me break it down for you singaporeans eater. There is a reason for the number on ur table. It is not for you to buy 4-d by putting the numbers of 2 tables together. It is for you be seated anywhere, and order fr any store so that it is more convenient for the store owner to find u, in the event u decided to go buy sugar cane juice when the food arrives.
And please, by the meaning of 'near', it should mean prob about 2 tables away. You are NOT near the laksa stall when you are like 10 tables away and Diagonally summore! You are not considered near just because u ordered the laksa and your small brain can only remember that stall around u!
And last but the most irritating... "small one hor..." It just implies that we'll give u a "big" one if you don't specify, just to 'cheat' your money. Hey, i take this very personally. It is a total insult to our personality and integrity. Perhaps at certain hawker centres they do that, but those who come often enough should know. It is when these people who say 'small one hor..' that pisses me off. And the biggest joke is when you send the SMALL one to his table of 6 or 7 people and they ask for 4 pairs of chopsticks. (*&()*^*&(%&^$&^%$
Good service to these people? Up Yours!
