Chatterbox
Just have the urge to blog suddenly. Feel that I have so much to talk about.
Waiting for the boy's call. Was chatting with him on the cab and after 5 mins of chatting he said he will call me back. Now after 45 mins... I am still waiting for the call.
I feel like doing a major shopping recently. Bangkok or Taiwan sounds like such a good idea. Have to wait till next July for Bangkok, and Taiwan... Hmm must do some planning. Have plans to go Tioman during next year March with that boy. Lying on the sunny beach and throwing away all the city troubles, thinking about nothing but to relax seems so fantastic. And Genting too. It's been years since I last went there. My goodness hope all these can be realised. I will definately be on cloud nine.
Did I mention my notebook's AC adaptor was spoilt one week after the purchase? So after the notebook ran out of battery it had been lying around isolated for the past 2 months plus. I have finally sent a representative (that boy lor) to HP and they certified that the fault lies with the adaptor, (which I have already told them so but they insisted to bring down both the adaptor and notebook).
The HP personnel called me on Sat saying that the adaptor was ready for collection. But we were told the adaptor will be sent to my house. So related that piece of information to the person and he told me the delivery department will call me again regarding my address. On Monday I received their call again saying that my adaptor is ready for collection. I thought it's the delivery dept who is supposed to call me? So, I told the person the exact same thing, with the only difference that she offered to take down my address. As I was in the midst of lecture when she called, I asked if she could call back later. But the call never came.
It was until today that I called them up and gave my address, before they told me the adaptor will be delivered to my house tomorrow. I really don't know why it takes so long for the thing to be successfully delivered to my doorstep, when the adaptor was first ready on Sat. One whole week ok.
Nonetheless, I am still delighted by the thought of reviving my notebook.
My mum destroyed my hair. Yes she destroyed my hair. The story goes...
2 weeks ago, I was feeling so irritated by the fringe that I asked if she could cut bangs for me. The outcome was still rather satisfactory. 2 weeks later the bangs got a little too long for comfort and it looks so thick. So again, I asked if she could trim it for me. That was such a grave mistake I made. When she was cutting my hair, I noticed those hair that she trimmed off was so long, and normally trimming doesn't seem to be cut in that way. So when she was done trimming, I rushed to the mirror and took a look. To my horror (and I really mean horror), some parts of the hair were so short that they stood up straight in the air and it's like a few hair stood up here and another few there. I swear that I almost fainted when I saw that. When I told that to my mum she simply ignored me and said I anyhow say. So I got no choice but to clip my bangs now. If not I look like a complete idiot.
So today, after bathing, I pulled my hair down again and still was horrified by the state of my hair. Unable to control my emotions, I strode to the kitchen and nagged at my mum, claiming that she ruined my hair and landed me in such deep shit. She laughed. Then I went into the room fretting and crying over the destruction of my hair. She came into my room asking how come one of my top is so long and so low cut. I looked at my top, and remembered it was not in such a state when I first bought it. So I pointed the finger at my mum saying the she spoilt the top. And she claimed that she hand washed it. Then I asked she how she hanged dry the top. And my clever mum hanged the top on the bamboo in a whole piece. So I roared at her, saying tops with such material should be folded half when hanging because the weight of the top and water will pull the top longer. And I further complained that not only she ruined my hair, now she spoil my top too. She quickly scrambled out of my room with a laughter.
Lesson learnt: Never trust your mother too much.
Now I have to endure the pain of how ugly the hair is, and clipping the hair for a whole 2 months in order to wait for the jutting out hair to grow back again. So what's the point of cutting the bangs? Only to make things worse. I really regret that decision of letting my mum cut my hair can.
Saw it on the paper that GST will be increased from 5% to 7%. I already said before, Singapore government will not be so nice to give out what Progress Package(PP). They surely must have planned something to be increased. I am so right. Months after the PP was given, Transportation cost were raised. MRT, buses, and taxis. Another few more months later, they declared that GST will be raised too. So you think the $600 you received half a year ago can cover all the long term increases? I rather not have the PP than raising the cost of living.
And they are so smart. PP was given a month before the election. To increase GST is not an overnight decision. It must have gone through serious thoughts before it is being annouced to the citizens. So why ain't any news of the increase in GST mention or leak out when it was time for election? Why is the increase in transportation cost implemented after the election? Good and sweet things are given just in time when people are to vote for the cabinet and bad news always followed thereafter.
In case you forget, GST is a short term for Government Service Tax. In another words, tax is a form of government's revenue just like tariffs and stuffs. Government's REVENUE. Revenue = profit. So imagine a $10.70 thing you buy, 7% of $10 = 70 cents actually goes to the government as profit. And then the government will say they will be giving out some dunno-what package to help Singaporeans financially. Citizens will be so delighted over the lump sum of money they get from the govt and thinking that the govt is so nice, totally forgetting that the money that they receive are actually their own hard earn money. And months later, some other things, like maybe electric bills or whatever is to be increased again. And the cycle goes.
See this video in youtube. It's so funny. And so true.
Will I get exiled for saying all these? The above are just my own personal opinions. I still wanted to see my parents and friends.
