Chatterbox

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.

I went shopping!

I went shopping!

Monday was the most enjoyable offday I had ever since school reopened. Credit goes out to the sweet skinny Skelan.

Went for a shopping spree at Marina Square after 7 and half hour of lectures. Only bought one pants and a black top. I love the black top so much. Coz it makes me look slimmer. Skelan did not allow me to buy any shoes coz he thinks I already have too many pairs, but I can't help buying more. Dinner at Marche. I finally satisfy my craving for Marche after so many months. Level of satisfaction: Extremely high.

After dinner we went to the arcade. Saw the japanese monkey in the plush toy catching machine. The monkey is soooooo cute!!! But it's so hard to catch and we gave up after 10 over times of fruitless attempts. *how nice if he was able to catch it for me**blink blink* Went to spin the tikum instead and spent another 10 over dollars only to spin out the designs that I don't want. *pouts*

We left the place and headed to Marina South Pier and spent hours chatting there before he sent me back home at 12 plus.

The day was simple. But I really enjoyed myself.

I have a test in 2 weeks' time. And I got so much of readings to do. Shit. And I have to take the test. I will only find it more difficult to catch up if I skip the test. Plus, the lecturer is so smart that he only gives out answer to students who took the test. I have the fear of handing up a blank script. So I better buck up and get my ass on the readings. Whatever scientific mgmt, human relations, labour process theory. I am going to faint. I hate essay questions. The module is Organisational Theory. The further requisite from my most hated module. Sociology. But surprisingly OT doesn't seem as bad as Soci. Although I didn't really like it very much either.

As for my other modules, I discovered that for Management Mathematics, I sucks big time at integration. I better practice more on those maths questions. I have clean forgotten what I learnt in A Maths during my secondary school days and from the Bridging Course. Damn it. For the last module Management Science Methods, as everyone says, it's so easy. Luckily I took this module. The questions are like a piece of cake if you pay attention in lectures, even though you didn't revise anything outside lecture time. Good for lazy, I mean, busy people like me!

I think it's time for me to look at myself carefully in the mirror and throw a stone towards it. I am getting very very FAT! But I just can't get myself into dieting. Can't imagine myself eating the same old yong tau foo soup everyday. Arghhhhh... But I am just here complaining and complaining. Without doing anything beyond that. I am hopeless.

No more LD

No more LD

I have been prohibited to use the term LD on my blog. LD laid this rule down. Coz he says it sounds like a pirated version of LV, or it sounds like Laser Disc. And he added saying now people using DVD liao. No more LD. So irritating right. Ok so I shan't be calling LD LD anymore.

Haha.

Anyway, I have already thought of a new nickname to replace the old one. "Boh-gay". Hahahahaha. So happy with the new one. I think he is going to kill me.

Offically down with a running nose. I am feeling so sick. Was caught in the rain on Tuesday. Didn't know it can be so costly. *bah*

Weekends are here. Yipee!!! Wonder if I can do any shopping these 2 days.

Haven't been seeing Hui for the past week. I miss her. *sobs*

Change

It's so plain!!! Rest assure that I will do something to it when I have the time. Not very well verse in those computer languages. I did it by trial and error. That's why it's utimately time consuming...

Looking out for a pinky skin. Tired of those dark dull colours already. But those pink skins on blogskins are 75% too kiddy. I love me-to-you tatty bear. So guess this is the best I could settle for.

*yawnz* Going to sleep now. Night!

Complains

Complains

This is going to to be a short entry. Have to tune in early. Tuition in the afternoon. Please remind me not to rattle on non-stop.

Got a paper cut on my finger. OUCH. Could felt the paper slicing through my finger just now. No one to sayang me. *pouts*

When I left for work earlier on, I walked pass the carpark and noticed so many yellow cars on the same floor. Wanted to take a picture to post here but later thought that it was too bo liao. Yellow. Maybe I wouldn't feel the same if it was black, but, since when has yellow be a popular colour for cars? There was a yellow Honda Fit, yellow Mazda 6, yellow Tuscani, yellow van, and one City Cab (obviously yellow). And those cars were parked side by side. Very fun meh? *shrugs*

Have been craving for KFC for the past 2 weeks. Went with LD that day to Kallang's KFC. Oh ya that day when I went Vivo City on Hari Raya. I don't know what the KFC was doing. They had nothing for the chicken except drumstick. NOTHING BUT DRUMSTICK. No wings, no ribs, no breasts, no thighs. ONLY DRUMSTICKS. Would you ordered a 2 piece chicken meal that consist of 2 drumsticks??? Angry. And I tell you ar, the number of drumstick they have was so much that the whole tray, equivalent to the size of a normal study table, was filled with drumsticks. ONLY DRUMSTICKS.

So, LD and I hopped over to MacDonald's instead.

The craving continued, so today, I decided to eat without LD. Coz apparently it seems like we both couldn't compromise a suitable time to even settle for a KFC meal. Went to Taka's KFC and ordered a 2 piece chicken meal. But I only want thigh. BUT THEY ONLY HAVE DRUMSTICKS AND RIBS. So, I cancelled the order. What the hell is wrong with KFC??? Or are chickens nowadays breed without thighs? Deformed chickens. OMG. I just simply want to have a 2 piece hot and crispy chicken thigh meal and change the coleslaw to cheese fries. Is it very difficult? Tell me is it a very difficult task for KFC?

I am not going to "wei qu" myself and settle for other parts of the chicken no matter how huge the craving for the chicken is. Yes I am that stubborn. And if several more attempts to KFC are thigh-less, I am going to ban KFC.

I am serious.

As spoken (rather written) earlier, LD has not been properly meeting me since our last meet up last Tuesday. We met up for a dinner with Hui last Saturday, after which he had to leave for duty, and on Sunday also for a 3 hour before he left for work related stuff again. Saw him yesterday for Mambo, which is like a mere 4 hours, and we had to leave early coz he had to wake up early for work again.

I seriously think that he is deserting me soon. *laughs very loudly*

Oh ya! I was being such a good student on Tuesday. Slept pretty late at 3 plus after finishing off my assignment and dragged myself up for school at 7am. I was in a dead zombie mode when I reached Clementi. While I was about to get off the train at Clementi, I received a call from a friend, saying that LESSON HAD BEEN CANCELLED COZ THE LECTURER WAS SICK. That news was so shocking that I become clear headed immediately. I still thought that my friend was playing tricks on me. I grumbled and grumbled and told him that I had already reached Clementi. And he replied he was already in school. Haha. So I took another one hour plus journey back home. To sleep. Of coz. A total waste of my time, effort and energy. And I forgo my sleep and not to mention the 2 dollars plus transportation cost I incurred. For nothing. So so angry!!!

I think I am so "suay" recently. Not only the wasted trip to school, I have been scolded by different unreasonable customers EVERYDAY without fail. Not those one or 2 sentences kind of scolding. But a full 10 - 20 mins of sceaming and yelling into my ears. What have I done to deserve this treatment? I am just an innocent victim. I am just a poor CSO who gets a fixed pay and servicing the customers. I am not the one who screwed up your stuffs. So why am I getting all these treatments? Just because I am the front line staff whom those people will laise with. How I pity myself.

Ok. Enough of complaining. Going to lala land already. Hope I don't have problem falling asleep.. Slept kind of too much yesterday.
