It's been a long time since I last typed anything in this puny field.

And January is going to be over so, so fast.

I don't feel the stress of J2 life yet which means I'm getting nowhere in my studies and revision.

I spend everyday worrying and doing nothing and watching my shows instead.

Isabelle, aye, Isabelle.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING???

My friend's complaining to me about her guy classmates in RJ.

They're childish, desperate, loser-ish and idiotic.

I told her I thought RJ guys were responsible.

She told me never to believe that.



Good. Let's not live in self-denial. Every school has its bunch of responsible guys and idiotic guys.

FEMALES RULE!

Simon says MEN ARE PIGS.

And when he was talking about that I laughed till I could cry.

"You know the yin has a bit of the yang, and the yang has a bit of the yin,"










OH MY GOODNESS.

What a fine example.

But MEN ARE still PIGS and don't ever try to add women into the statement by saying that men and women aren't at all different because of the yin and the yang.

MEN ARE PIGS is a fine saying.

I like I like (:


Anyway I take a certain bus everyday and today is no exception, BUT!

BUT BUT BUT.

Two university students were in the queue in front of me.

There's nothing special about them individually but there's something odd about them if you look at them when they walk & talk together.

Attention: Applying GP skills in everyday life - APPEAL TO POPULARITY.

They both wear jeans.

They both wear a belt.

They both wear basic tees.

They both carry tote bags of around the same size and similar brand.

They both wear products from Birkenstock on their feet.

They both have long, straight and rebonded hair.





They are not twins.

They aspire to be.

The one thing I can't stand the most is that they MUST have that same straight long rebonded hair.

So almost every other university female students looks like them?

Sad.






Some guys are sad cases, and so are some very unindividualistic girls.

Why don't people (men, especially) behave properly & appropriately?

I don't know about chinese traditions but I think smoking shouldn't be allowed at funerals. For one thing smoking harms yourself, and for another, it harms the people around you.

Ten people sitting around a table smoking together is guaranteed to harm those ten people a lot. It's either you're too blind to read what's on the cigarette pack when you buy it or you choose not to read, which is really really idiotic of you.

You smoke and you harm yourself, and the smoke from the 9 other people around you effectively harms you further.

It's good to smoke right?

Only idiots think this way.

I hate it even more when the people (men, especially) put an arm around the chair beside them, prop one of their legs on top of the another, shake that feet which is propped up all whilst holding a cigarette and puffing it to no end, one after another.

Please don't be so stupid.

Go read some biology textbooks. If you don't know how to read them, get someone to read it out and translate it for you.

And it'd be good if you print out pictures of distorted lungs due to excessive smoking and display them on your wall permanently.

I think it'd help.

Seriously.

I was just really irked by the MEN who were smoking and crunching nuts and making the table dirty without a care in the world yesterday at my grandfather's funeral.

And they go HA HA HA amongst themselves in hokkien, chinese and other dialects. If not, broken english.

It is a funeral.

Funeral.

FUNERAL.

It's enough seeing you smoke and being inconsiderate and causing the innocent people to breathe in the smoke that you exhale. It might be only in my opinion that smoking at an occasion like that is very rude, but I'll stick to it still.

Maybe you're short-sighted but if you can smoke you sure can get the money to get yourselves a pair of spectacles cause there were dustbins around the vicinity.

And what do you do?

Throw it onto the floor and step on it.

Wow, how considerate.

That's the first thing.

The second: Self-service.

You didn't rent the cooler, you didn't call the casket, you're not part of the family, you have no rights to open the cooler and take out drinks for yourself.

Use your brain and not your hands.

How can someone just go straight to the cooler and help himself/herself to the drinks inside when they are in no way related to anyone there?

Yes, you might have come to help and yes, you might be thirsty after all the chanting, but that still doesn't give you the right to take what's not yours. It can be given to you if you ASK but you don't blatantly take what's not yours.

Even at a funeral people don't have to capacity to show respect to the dead, and to the family of the dead. They do all sorts of sickening things and exhibit all sorts of annoying behaviour.

Not everyone, of course, just those who are bent on acting that way. And the fact that we have to clean up after them who mis-use their presence irks me.










I know he's home.

Monday, January 01, 2007.

2006 was the year I did a lot of reminiscing. I'm sure that fellow Crescentians dwell on that a lot too but that's not the point cause there's no point in continuing to dwell on 'O' level days when now comes the time for the 'A's.

I really wish people would stop trying to find topics with academics.

"Oh so you're J2, taking your 'A' levels this year, must study hard!"

"Oh primary six ah, PSLE year right? Which secondary school do you want to go?"

Don't these furthur prove that Singaporeans are really obsessed with academics? I don't think it's a very good thing, but the environment molds you somehow. :(

Went to Sharon's house today and I was almost close to devastation when I saw a huge dog waiting at the door.

No matter how many times you may try to convince me that dogs are harmless and that "No, my dog really won't bite!", I still refuse to take a step towards it.

Dog lovers can never comprehend why people who are afraid of dogs are so afraid of them, and neither can I, a very anti-animals-in-the-house-and-anywhere-else-except-on-the-dining-table person, comprehend why people love animals so much they're willing to bathe with them, share their food, cloth them for fancy dress competitions for animals etc.

No animals please.

And that includes all sorts of animals.

I even get sick/afraid/disgusted when I look at fishes swimming around in the tank/pond for too long a time.

I got afraid of birds (even those really small ones) after serving my volunteer work at Jurong Bird Park. Now I know where never to volunteer again.

No hamsters too. Cute in photos and in cages yes. When they're in your hands and they're getting too close for comfort no.

Okay enough of animal-phobia.

Milestones of 2006...?

Milestone #1
Starting school life in my so-called school. I liked it in the first three months and I don't mind the people there and I definetely don't mind my classmates and friends but I do really mind the very so-called domineering authority there. When you can't respect the person you should be respecting the most, you can't respect the school. At least, for me.

Milestone #2
Project Work. What a friend I haven't thought about for the past month. It's all farewell for this consistent buddy, which is good. Although I can't say the process wasn't enjoyable, I definetely learnt more about differing characters and personalities in different people. It's impossible to expect everything to go the way you want it to, and that is what I have to tell myself and my stubborn pride every now and then, which is by the way, often enough.

Milestone #3
Staying in a new environment. New neighbourhood, new neighbours, new buses to take, new piece of sky outside the window, new disruptions, new winds, new weird people around the neighbourhood. Whenever I walk from my home to the bus-stop, which takes me approximately 5 minutes or so, I'd see all sorts of funny people. And I don't like it. But I have to live with it. :(

Milestone #4
Forging friendships with new people & old people.
Zhu Qing, Bernice, Lois, Jia Wei, Vithiya, Xiu Ling, Clara, Jo, Germ, Uncle Neo etc. It's sad that it's this year that my SS class really started to get closer that we have to split in 2007. I hope we'd get back together as a huge and warm class again.

They aren't really milestones but they are what I had to learn to cope & live with. 2007 would be better with prayers, obedience & submission.

Oh yes! 2006 saw the FIFA World Cup! Till then, the South Korean team, I'd cheer for you loudly in 2010. (:
