GURRRL!

Hm. Had a relatively awesome outing with my friend, Berlinda. Yeah, brought her to this desu curry house that specialises in...well, curry. Haha! Mmmm, the curries there were fantastic, including the extremely fast service and ambience. Hahaha! Problem is that desu curries aren't SPICY enough!! Rating...4/5!

Later, she brought me to this green tea store that has every food item in it GREEN TEA BASED, from the cakes to the noodles! For your info, the store name's called 'Ochacha' and its located at the basement of Raffles City. Try the matcha lattes, they're fantastic! Ambience wise is kinda too plain and the central airconditioning was freezing! Had me sneezing non-stop. Brrr! For this, I'll give it 3.5/5 

End of restaurant review!

Okay okay, I'll speak...what happened apparently was awkward! Decided to pop the question and um, asked her out for a 'official' date....and epic failed! I admit! But...at least it wasn't at the start of the outing itself, else it would be disastrous. It was a polite declination, so it's nothing much to fuss or be emo about.

You know sometimes, having a friendship is way better than a relationship itself? Or so it seems. First, you get to have more of the giggles and shits with the other party. Secondly, nothing awkward or disastrous would happen and furthermore, it will hold everyone together stronger! Take an example of what happened between Harrold, Royston and me.

After that weird minute or so, Berlinda and I went back to the giggles and shits atmosphere. So fun right? LOL! Oh besides, we got the last of the Chingay festival preview (call it the Singapore version of a Mardi Gras) and the performers were on the kangaroo jumping 'shoes'. It was sure awesome!

Oh oh oh! I remembered! Before that, we went to River Island and browsed the hoodies, turtlenecks and shirts there! Goodness, those hoodies were tempting both of us! Money saving time!!

The whole outing ended at around 11pm+ and I met up with Derence. He came to my house and finished the ENTIRE Mirror's Edge game .... fun! After that we did quite a lot of gossiping and also laughing at stupid inside jokes such as the um, probiscus monkeys, plague, C-section and etc. LOL!! Hilarity ensued! All the fun ended at 6AM. Terribly tired and I almost got a sore throat from the excessive talking and laughing for the entire day. 

Glad that almost everyday, something hilarious or fun happens. Awesome life without the emo crap!

ching chong

Hey'all! Been a while since I last updated my blog post, phew. In fact, these days I'm extremely busy with the Chinese Lunar New Year visiting relatives. It seems that every Chinese New Year, I have to put up with the vile and rude relatives of my Mum's side. Thank goodness its only an annual affair. Though to admit this year's visit left me infuriated (and it was just yesterday).

Firstly, when we went to one of my aunt's house, the bunch of cousins gave me that kind of look that as if we (my family) owed them a large sum of money. Also once again, they were fashion disasters; the eldest of the cousin was getting fatter each year (and mind you, it's a 'she'), accompanied by horrendous puking gold/brown dyed hair AND wearing faux-fur boots. EW!

Second, the 2nd eldest cousin was wearing gay fashion! He was like wearing typical short-shorts, neon-rainbow streaked black polo tee and the disgusting white 'uncle shoes'! Goodness! Fashion abominations! I don't know about the youngest though, she wore normal; pink top and jeans.

To be greeted such a sight during Chinese New Year.....Bleaaah! Ack!

So after the 1st visit, we proceeded on to the 2nd relative's house. This time was worse! When I greeted one of my relatives, he didn't even SMILE. Like for fuck's sake, what's with the attitude! My 2nd aunt out of concern, went to ask one of the other relatives what happened to her neck (redness all over), and that stupid relative just shot back, "敏感啦!" (translated from mandarin: "allegic!" or in more precise terms, "its just an allergy, now GTFO!") 

Those vile hellspawns seem to take joy in bullying my 2nd aunt. I really pitied my 2nd aunt, since she's the only Thai in my Mum's side and what they did made her look like an outcast. Bastards!

What happened next almost made me blow my top! So, I was standing at the corridoor minding my own business and texting on my phone, one of my elder cousins came up and stood beside me. One of the uncles got out of the apartment and gave me a quick glance while talking to him in mandarin, "You've got no friends?" That FUCKING TARD actually shot back to him, "No! Hahaha no! (implying that I'm not his friend)"

FOR FUCK'S SAKE! You bastards gave me that fucking LONG face when we visited, didn't even bother to greet my aunt, and not even SOCIALISING properly. Why the fuck must I care about you? Must he state out LOUD that I'm not his friend? Who in the sane mind will even bother talking to such an anti-social person like you! I should be the ONE stating that I don't even give a shit about you and besides, I'm your fucking cousin, not your 'friend'! Rude punk!

Later, I learnt from my parents that they did that was most likely due to jealousy. See, my parents were really poor (before I was born) and had to rely on my Mum's side of relatives for a safe place to stay and also money. My Dad's first business venture failed and ended up owing people like loansharks, money and therefore my parents had to seek refuge. Money problems and the lack of a proper housing plagued them.

My Mum then entered the interior design, renovation and construction sector soon after and from then she started to get financially stable. She had to endure years of hardship before leaving her old company (that collasped due to the poor handling of the upper-management) and started her own renovation and interior design company. The company built up by my Mum now is all due to her blood and sweat, now even owning a factory with it and just this year, she decided to expand and diversify her business into electrical and door-making by acquiring another company and opening up another factory. This is a fine example on HOW people get successful in life! Not just sitting there and getting all jealous.

The relatives on the other hand, seeing my Mum from a poor, helpless lady now owning two companies, a factory and getting a new family car, became the typical Chinese and went extremely jealous...Dumb right? If you want to be wealthy, work yourself up to it! Stupid relatives.

4:26

It's 4:26 AM and I realised I've ran out of things to do.

These days been playing my gnome rogue that I rolled on Frostmourne server along with Jon's night elf priest. Once again, I'm slow in my leveling while Jon shot up to level 19 in a few days. He was kind enough to lend me his death knight a few moments ago so that I could level my gnome. (My gaming PC allows me to run 2 instances of WoW without lagging, lol!) Finally, level 15...logged out both chars and thought of something else to do.

Mirror's Edge is kinda starting to get irritating since I can't get past this chapter nearing the end without constantly getting killed....yawn.

Even blogging seem boring now. Bah, shall post some random pictures! As they say, pictures are worth a thousand words! Hahaha.

My buddy Derence (in pic) and I snuck up onto his apartment's rooftop access! Fun!

A view of my concrete 'hood.

This is my cosy little room, haha

The following pics....I found them deep within my PC, inside my WoW screenshots folder. Looking at it...well...some uncontrolled emotions just came upon me, almost shed a tear...but, we can't turn back time. Yup.

Harrold (Kellion), Royston (Beefyhero) and I (Annaloral) in better times.

I guess today's the time I shall offically forgive both of them, even if they don't learn or what. Sometimes I do have this little conscience tugging me....yup. I shall let everything down from today onwards.

Guess its better for everyone and its useless to hold onto the anger for so long; the damage has been done. Better days ahead that is.

parkour!

Woot! Finally got Mirror's Edge and to tell you its extremely thrilling and fun! Hopping from one skyscraper to the next, scaling walls on pipes, balancing on pipes tens of stories above the ground and zipping through areas without letting the cops getting you.

Also, finally a game where the environment is not all 'dirty and grime-ridden'. The city that the story takes place in is extremely clean, modern and sleek. Fun! With my Nvidia 9800 GTX graphics card, sometimes the materials and graphics do look almost real! Movie-like!

Gameplay-wise is easy at first but kinda hard to grasp at the later levels. Combat wise is hard but takes some time to get the hang of it, especially without a HUD/UI, you don't know when you are gonna run outta bullets.

Rating for this game? 4.5/5! Worth the $56.70 that I forked out for it, since it also contains a bonus music CD with all the remixes of 'Still Alive' - the theme for the game itself, not to be confused with the Portal version.

please ffs

Emo kid, please please watch the following vid. You should buy that.

LOL

caffeine!!

Coffee! More coffee! These days, my body is entire running on caffeine, almost a substitute for blood itself! Woooow! Hahaha

Due to the rushing of my school assignments and trying to keep awake after looking at rows and rows of numbers....I definitely needed something to perk me up! Rummaged around and found a jar of coffee powder not hitting it's expiry. Double-strong roast, LOL!

Indeed! After making that cup of awesome hot beverage, it does give me the perk! Either that or because I love adding lots of coffee powder and around 3/4 of water, thus making it concentrated. Bad side is, since I was living in a relatively large apartment and studying in the dining room late at night....the caffeine started to kick in and gave me the jitters accompanied by a heightened sense of creepiness around me. 

Decided to pack up my study materials and move into my room. Was fun though....the magic of caffeine. Haha!

Some nice protip for coffee addicts like me.

1. Obtain caffeinated bottled water

2. Pour into coffee maker

3. Add strongest ground coffee of your choice (an interesting alternative is Espresso)

4. Make coffee

5. Obtain caffeine pills (the kind long haul truck drivers and exam writing students use)

6. Crush into powder, then add to sugar bowl

7. Add a small spoonful to coffee

8. Add sugar and cream to taste (sugar and fat at this point aren't going to cause you much additional damage anyway)

9. Drink in "reasonable" quantities

10. Carefully make your way to trampoline (insurers will insist that walls, floors and ceilings be padded). Use bungee cords if necessary to stabilize your trajectory. 

11. Get your "exercise"

12. Sleep like the dead

13. Repeat as necessary.

Awww coffee....I loooove you so much! Hahaha!

LIFE

You know the days when you are just alone....by yourself. Sprawled on the bed doing nothing but just staring into the blank, cold ceiling or if you have a ceiling fan (like myself)...you just watch the blades twirl and twirl and twirl....

In most cases, my mind would start drifting and I would ponder.

Why am I surrounded by so much crap and yet I don't realise it? Happy-go-lucky....the only true form of happiness?

In the 21st century.....is the world fated to be so fucked up?

Unwarranted self importance; is it caused by the 'Internet'?

Emo-crap....why must it exist now? Is it that volatile...like turpentine?

Is getting a stupid piece of paper that lets you get employed, earn a a salary and help big corporations generate money our meaning for existing?

Are our lives just about black liquid and green papery stuff?

Conclusion: Our generation is doomed.

You know, in my afterlife, I'd rather be....well. I don't know. Born on another planet? Become a tree? A human again? Bacteria?

Oh wells.

for the love of science!

Buddhists welcome science into monasteries

The Sarnath Buddhist monastery, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, is revered as the site of the Buddha's first discourse after his enlightment - the stream from which the teachings of Buddhism flowed.

But if you visit the monastery between 20 and 31 January, you could witness the start of a new stream of teaching. 

More than 30 Tibetan monks, plus a handful of nuns, will be collaborating with a team from San Francisco's Exploratorium ("the museum of art, science and human perception") to build exotic machines to create patterns from sunlight using cardboard, dowels, reflective sheets of mylar and electronic components. 

If all goes to plan, the monks will return to their monasteries and start spreading the joys of scientific exploration among other followers of their religion.

The project is the latest reflection of the monks' spiritual leader's fascination with science. In the Dalai Lama's 2005 book The Universe in a Single Atom, the Nobel peace laureate argued that science and spiritual inquiry have much to learn from one other - you can read an excerpt here. 

The Dalai Lama is particularly interested in the relationship between the Buddhist concept of the mind and our scientific understanding of the physical brain, and has encouraged his monks to collaborate with neuroscientists to investigate what happens in the brain during meditation. 

Under a project called Science for Monks, backed by a Boston-based charity called the Sagar Family Foundation, western scientists also have given scientific workshops for exiled Tibetan Buddhist monks in northern India. The new collaboration aims to spread the appreciation of scientific inquiry yet further by creating a core of scientifically inspired "learning leaders", explains Exploratorium artist-educator Karen Wilkinson.

"These monks are the most extraordinary students," says Mark St John (pdf format), who runs a science education consultancy in Inverness, California, and will accompany the Exploratorium team to Sarnath. "They are total in their attention, often child-like in their enthusiasm, and are very used to working together."

Teamwork will be important to make the most of the exercises planned the Exploratorium's Playful Invention and Exploration team. The climax of the workshop will be the construction of Heath Robinson-esque machines to play with sunlight, incorporating electronic devices known as "crickets", which will be plugged into light sensors and programmed to control the monks' contraptions.

You can follow the monks' progress online, as Exploratorium team members will be blogging about their experiences.

why

That's the view from my room window. How sad eh? Everyday facing a slab of concrete pigeon holes.

You know, sometimes I just HATE living in an apartment block! You can't even have a tiny, nanoscopic bit of PRIVACY.

This was what happened. At 3:00AM, my tummy decided that it was hungry after sitting through 2 shows in a night; "The End of America" and "Life in Cold Blood - A documentary series of reptiles and amphibians presented by David Attenborough". Also, after watching the video below this post, I just wanted to get out and take a peaceful night stroll after the burger.

Walked to the fastfood restaurant a kilometer away, grabbed a simple meal of burger and fries and walked back. While on foot, I was listening to the music from the video below this post on my iPod, "Turana Hott Kurdis" and staring into the night sky, with the cool breeze gently caressing my hair and body. The major roads were totally empty and all you could only see were the cold, silent apartment blocks, the traffic crossing where only leaves danced across it and the night sky peppered with blotches of clouds with the full moon shining down from behind.

All this experienced alone with the music playing.....How peaceful and relaxing can that be? Especially after digesting all the beautiful, breathtaking images from the documentaries and shows I've watched before the stroll...

All I wanted for the night was just go back home, take a warm shower and sleep; my mind still fresh with all the wonderful images.....and yet, all it takes is a fucking nosy neighbour to ruin EVERYTHING. 

Apparently, when I stepped into the lift of my apartment block, expecting only MYSELF to be alone within the lift at 4AM in the morning....this middle-aged neighbour of mine trotted up to the door before it closed and due to courtesy, I had to press the 'Open' button to let him in. Once he was in, he started asking me in Chinese why I was out so late and that my Mum might be waiting at home for me and can't sleep.

Okay, it was right for him to ask that since he was concerned, but even though when I KEPT explaining to him that my Mum doesn't wait for me, as she was always fine with me going out to grab supper by myself and that she is well sound asleep now. He kept repeating that I shouldn't be going out till now and that my Mum IS waiting, blah blah blah. It slowly came to the point of IRRITATING. Hello? I am 17 this year and becoming 18 on August, thanks but no thanks for making me seem young.

The most irritating part was when I told him, "Don't worry okay?" He went with the non-sastified and doubtful "Tsk...don't worry.... (Repeating after me)". He even looked pissed! Goodness, I'm not your son or what, just mind your own damn business! Thank goodness right after that, the door opened at the 9th level and I went straight down the stairs, completely ignoring him (and thank goodness he lived right at the other end of the block).

Since he was acting as such a CONCERNED parent, why couldn't he bring up his eldest son properly instead of letting him end up like the juvenile delinquent he is now; dropping out of school at Secondary 1, getting many police cases, smoking, vandalising my apartment block and now ending up with no bright future ahead? Hypocrite.

I ended up feeling infuriated and thus, my relaxed mood, spoiled.

Sigh, well, that is what you get when you live in an apartment block. You cannot have an inch of privacy around you. Not only the neighbours (especially the new ones) are anti-social, they are sometimes proud and nosy. I mean this is worse than living in a suburb! I guess these incidents are less prelavent in a suburb due to a 'village-like' feeling and the neighbourhood acting as one big community. Of course, living in concrete pigeon holes with steel window grilles and gates would obviously change the attitude of people there which is what you do not experience in a suburb. And worse, the 'pigeons' having a Singaporean attitude.

I guess this is what you deserve for living in a cramped, concrete island city.

vintage

What a fun day it had been yesterday! Went out with Jon to visit this cool vintage toy museum, ate 'linner' (basically in-between lunch and dinner), caught the movie 'Passengers' and later went to LAN for some zombie-head-blasting action. Fun!

Let me upload some of the photos taken at the museum. Credits to Jon too, for I took the pics from his Facebook, haha!

Behind us are a display of vintage Santas. Lol! All the long white beards.

Ooh, the Beatles!

Beatles vintage collectibles that worth thousands of dollars.

'

To the right is my childhood toys; marbles and the super bouncy ball!

When they see me balancin', they be...

O SHI-!

Ching chong, nip gow gong!

Considered the 8th?

The Golliwogs, a reminder of racism that was blatant in the United States way back then.

Old school Mickey! Surprising that he's alone and not with Minnie; times when you enjoyed good old bachelorhood.

Felix the Cat! One of my favourite cartoons!

Read: Astroboy. First ever animu.

HOLY SHIET! ANCIENT DESU COSPLAY!

As Jon says, "The jacket he's wearing is definitely so NOT in with youngters."

Tom and Jerry! Jerry...looks kinda not boyish...

LOL I ARE IN SPASE! I IS SPASE PEEPOLE!!!11!

Well hoped the photos of the 'ancient' toys gave you nostalgia or something. The food over at the museum's restaurant is tad excellent too! Jon ordered a kinda big plate of Beer Battered Fish, complete with wedges and a leafy salad while I ordered this really good tasting, Parmesan Chicken with mashed potatoes. Drinks were Raspberry Tea for Jon while I got myself a natural fruit punch..didn't like the punch due to the excessive carroty taste. Overall was a little pricey though but the quantity they serve was generous, worth it. Atmosphere was a little awkward though, should've been more retro. 3.5/5 stars.

Later, Jon suggested that we catch Ponyo the movie (that I am so afraid of due to the Wapanese-filled cinema hall.) but alas, thank luck; Ponyo was not showing anymore. Disappointment for Jon while a small victory for me....sorry Jon, looks like we've to catch it on DVD or via the Internet, lol! Due to this, we instead caught the drama movie, 'Passengers'. Shall not give out the spoilers here but the movie does need you to do a little of thinking and then you're able to understand. I was moved so much by the 'airplane part' nearing the end of the movie, I just couldn't resist but cry a bit. Haha! Rating, 4/5 stars.

Finally after the movie, we went for some awesome zombie fragging at the LAN shop nearby. Before that, I've introduced Jon to Left4Dead while waiting for our movie to start and let him get a little hands-on action of the game. He does master quite fast of blowing up zombie heads!

Ahhh, indeed a fun-filled weekend!! Shall look forward to more outings like this!

Woot! My blood elf paladin in human form! That's the Sims 2 by the way. Painstakingly recreated.

Some things I need to get off my chest before I go to sleep tonight. It had been a great week for me! Going out with my friends, eating delicious food and finding new interesting stuffs online.

You know, I have been keeping this within myself since like, last month (year) and I really really need to say....

Harrold, seriously. I can't believe someone will be so determined and spend his entire few days at home just to level his blood elf warlock to level 80. Like, you've got no life or what!? Yeah great ego there because I am still 75 with crap items while you get epics. Clap clap...but does that mean you win in life? The life as in real life?

You said you will not fall and falter but don't you realise you already did? You became suicidal, GN and I had to rush down and coax you. You were stubborn and still desperately think that the religious nut will fall in love just because you use the threat of death. It came till to the point I decided enough was enough.

Can't you see!? HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU BECAUSE HE IS DELUDED! Sigh, you know what, I think there is no point ranting on and on. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being so harsh on you but the hatred for emo-kids just runs in my blood and I can't control it. Also, knowing that a friend for 4 years suddenly came to be an emo devastated me; you should know that I am a hardcore happy person and I find any hint of emo revolting.

In this world, there are billions of other guys and gals. Don't be so silly and die just because someone doesn't like you. He is hopelessly deluded, you can't change him with suicide threats. Look at his blog! He is all out to get you - its a sublimal message, can't you get it? Seriously, even if I were emo, I wouldn't waste my life for such a person like him or rather, get a date with. It's weird and it creeps the hell outta anyone. Look, he cares so much more for a non-existent thing than someone on the brink of taking his own life, and worse, he adds more fuel to the fire.

What do you think happens if you die? You wasted your entire 16 years on this planet and that nut would probably go, "I will pray that all his sins which caused his death to be forgiven and attain salvation from Him." Most likely people will forget about you and your death after a year, your parent will be devastated while the rest of the world do not care. Yes, reality bites and it bites hard.

Well prove it. Prove to him that there are way better people than him! Don't you realise at that point in time you were hopelessly under his control and you don't realise it because it's subconscious? It seems that no matter what he said, you will obey to him.

It's a new year, so get a new start. I'm not your rival or friend, I'm just someone wanting to give a say about your state. If you want to find someone to love or to be loved, there's online personals, Facebook or perhaps you can take your own initative! Go ask that hot girl/guy out! Smile! Smile more! Be happy! Go volunteer! 

Once you help others, you will know how fruitful that will be. You know, your life is already very much wholesome and there is no reason you should say, "I hate my life." You have a powerful PC, you get branded things, a change of cellphone frequently, you get to dine in posh restaurants and even a laser cosmetic surgery just to remove that tiny speck of mole on your nose.

Do you know that people in the third world are living in conditions much much worse than us and even sometimes sacrficing a limb or more so that THEY can hold on to the string of life!? They will do anything for food, for that little comfort they might get and hope that their family will go through all the suffering. But do they ever complain? Look at their bright smiles, their expressions - all full of hope for a better future.

You are doing clean energy engineering. Poor people around the world that can't afford electricity are looking upon you including wildlife and flora endangered from climate change. YOU are the hope to them. What if you were to come up with a breakthrough in clean energy that allows poor people to get free electricity? It will be a waste if you left this world so early.

So, I do hope you've already woken up, all refreshed and thrown your past away. You are ready to begin a new chapter in life.

crepes

Wahaha! What a wonderful night it had been! Met up with my friend, Berlinda, and went for dinner. Met her up at Central in Clarke Quay because that place was bursting full of desu-goodness and she liked it a lot. Oh, for people having a knack for desu, I would recommend Central because its chock full of it!

Before that, I was waiting by the Singapore River since she was still on the train and enjoyed the nice view, watching the boats just go by... About 6.45pm, she reached...OH! While waiting, apparently, this caucasian guy 'couple' went up to me and one of them was so close it was like he's trying to hit me up! Whew, thank goodness I went away quickly...was weird though. Met up with her and we decided on where to settle down and have dinner, so in the end, we ate at the Manhattan Fish Market restaurant.

Berlinda got a Pacific Dory Fish and Chips meal while I got myself a Grilled Norwegian Salmon set. The fish is absolutely FANTASTIC! There was none of that awful fishy smell and the texture was soft and succulent! Ambience wise was good except that it could have done a little better without the Chinese New Year decorations. I've already expected the great tasting dishes since we had to queue up for almost 20 minutes just to get into the packed restaurant! 4/5 stars.

During dinner, we engaged ourselves in the topic about government conspiracies, the Zeitgeist movie, Dan Brown's books, religion and of course, the classic "Emo kid and Religious guy" lovestory which is officially now my dinner topic appetizer/dessert. Hahaha. Seems that no matter who I tell the story to, the other party would get very interested! Oh, and finally, someone that enjoys talking about the above topics!

After dinner, we headed down to Dhoby Ghaut and brought her to this nice little French crepe shop that I promised. The cafe itself, called 'Creperie des Arts" was recommended to me by Johnathon, who said he had one of the best dates ever there and I should try it out. 

 The little French cafe was tucked away in a corner of Prinsep street and tell you, the ambience is fantastic! From what I've known is that the cafe is a business ran by a French family. Almost everything was French; from the chef to the decors and the music, all the way right down to the other customers themselves! The ambience was fantastic with a 'homey' feeling and we had this excellent honey and lemon crepe by a small candlelight. Wow, it almost seemed like a date, lol! *embarrassed* 

Oh, speaking of the crepe itself (called 'Mado' by the way), it was lightly toasted with a tinge of golden brown in the middle and got just the right crispiness. Drizzled with lemon juice and honey, the crepe was definitely lip-smacking! Had the right amount of sweetness and yet not too bland. Service was definitely excellent, the chef speaking to us in a French accent and even giving us a seat directly underneath a not-too-cold airconditioner to ensure we had a comfortable dessert. Oh, he even taught us a little bit of French! Now I know "good night" in French is "bonne nuit"! Hahah 5/5 stars! (Wishes for more cafes in Singapore like this. Authentic, not fake.)

Two pics from the trip itself. (Credits to Berlinda for taking em)

Edit: Damn, I should've taken a few shots of the food themselves. Nevermind, since I will be having a few more food outings in the future, I will definitely provide them!

Every forum poster/commenter should watch this.

21st century!

Just had a sudden urge to post these 'slogans'.

In medieval times, there were public lynchings and executions. Citizen journalism; the 21st century equivalent.

Everyone* can be a superstar! Entertainment for the now.

*No matter how shitty you are.

VIVA LA CONSUMERISMO!

21st century commerce. Everyone is contractually obligated

Unwarranted Self Importance. How to get famous for anyone, everyone!

bam!

Oh look! He even owns a non-profit organisation now!

Whoa, the start of school finally! My new modules in school for 2009; Drafting Financial Statements and Planning, Control and Performance Management. Attended the first module yesterday held by a lecturer named Ms Yeo and was late for about 10 minutes. Lol, ah...I'm never always punctual *embarrassed* Well, learnt about a new depreciation method, cash flows and the more 'advanced' way of how to categorize assets and liabilities. Legally obligated, contractual terms, etc etc.

This time, I've got to prepare to store a ton of theory in my head....lots of International Accounting Standards to learn and calculations. Oh, and these two papers are WRITTEN. Oh wow finally, I could use a pen! (Been taking all computer based exams for the past year.)

Awful thing is, my class is chock full of (mainland) Chinese students and they are just...LOUD. But this time, the class is really big and kinda like an 'United Nations'. Different people from different countries. Hmm, exotic! When I talk about the Chinese, they are the mainlanders.

Oh, and back to the Chinese students....they just gave me a bad impression. So, when I arrived in class, I chose a front seat beside this 'nice looking' young Chinese lady since almost all the other seats were either hard to reach or occupied. I smiled and whispered softly asking if the empty seat beside her was occupied, she just gave me a cold look and took away the bag. How rude! At least flash back a damn smile! 

Next was something that irked me a lot. Our tables were those having wheels and there were always 2 people sharing a table (as it meant to be). While I was taking down notes from the lecture and reading the text, that stupid lady PUSHED the whole table forward without saying 'excuse me' so that she could manoeuvre her fat ass out and head to the toilet. Is an 'excuse me' that hard to say? Can't she just get out by moving behind the chairs? Because of that, I almost made a streak of ink running across my freshly printed notes. Typical Chinese...No wonder the Americans potray the stereotype of them as being loud, rude and inconsiderate. How true.

I just kept silent throughout the entire lecture since it was my first day while that lady kept pushing the table every 1 and a half hour. Didn't want to cause a commotion. Well, it didn't stop there! There were so much space on the table, the lady kept flipping her notes and causing the papers to flip ONTO my notes! How the hell am I supposed to read my notes with your damn papers covering mine? Stupid prick. I waited how long she took to realise that her notes were creeping into my territory and it took her almost 10 minutes before flipping all of it back. Best part, not even a 'Sorry' uttered.

That is why I don't like the uncivillized and crude Chinese. Worst thing, Singapore is slowly not becoming 'Singapore' anymore. With the increased influx of mainland Chinese moving here to seek asylum and a huge number of Singaporeans migrating every year....Singapore is slowly being taken over by the Chinese. Everywhere you see, from transport drivers, food court vendors, cashiers, waiters or any other job you could imagine...its always the mainland Chinese. Even the recent murders and crimes involve them. You could see them milling about in the red light districts or accompanying those old sick fucks in coffeeshops....

So for the love of any higher sentinent being, I just hope that the mainlanders would improve on their etiquettes and behave themselves on foreign lands. These kind of behaviours are not tolerated by affluent and modern societies.
