Inconsideration
Posted on Tuesday, 27 November 2012 Singapore's weather is so hot when it's not raining!! It's been some time since I updated this blog, but someone told me to blog constantly and I'm not doing anything now before my evening plans so why not? Anyway, today's post is about how sometimes Singaporeans can be so INCONSIDERATE. I was on the MRT(which is the public train service) and it was 6 and I had to travel past City Hall, which is the station everyone dreads because it's always crowded and it was rush hour so of course, there was alot of people at the station waiting. And I was queuing up to enter the train too, and it was so crowded. So I had to skip around 4 trains because they were all too full to enter before I could get on one. I think on the third train I missed, there was this aunty with her young daughter and she was waiting like everybody else. Nothing wrong right? When the train came, she suddenly yanked her daughter's hand and rushed for it. And everyone of course stared at her in annoyance. One Indian lady in the queue gave her this look. Yes, I know that's Tyra Banks. And it wasn't so exaggerated but you get the idea right? And she told the aunty this : "You must get in line for the train like everyone else. You can't just cut the queue." And of course, it was quite embarrassing for her, everyone looking at her and stuff and giving her the 'so rude' look. And I'm sure any other person would just be like apologizing and getting back into queue or going to another train door to hide from stares but no. This aunty just waved her hands nonchalantly and told the Indian lady, "TSK." I was like, what-the-flying-fuck-so-rude, and the thing is her daughter was there and she was looking at all this happening in such an innocent way. Ok aunty, first you just cut everyone's queue and secondly, you actually tsked the lady in such a rude way. And it wasn't the normal tsk tsk tsk, it was those over the top TSK that sounded like she was scolding someone for starting the Gulf War. I was thinking about how her daughter must have been brought up. What if she, in the future, thinks it's okay to cut everyone's queues? What if she next time would be equally as rude to nice strangers? Then you might ask me this : Well if you had been there, you'd understand. It makes me ashamed to say that like Singaporeans are so inconsiderate sometimes, not all, some. Cutting queues, don't let poor old makciks sit down, fart in trains, don't spray deodorant when using public transport, ok maybe the last two is not really that inconsiderate but you get the general idea. Like the government or the MRT CEO (I don't know which one) spent so much money on stuff like caring for each other ads and the Dim Sum Dollies(DSD). I mean look at the DSD makeup, even more than wayang than wayang actresses. Confirm damn ex right, use so much product (even if you're using cheap China goods it's still alot.) And Singaporeans still don't care. WHY LIKE THAT? Couldn't find a meme for it so I have to write it in words. Anyway bottom line is, don't be so inconsiderate. PS : And to those people who argue, maybe that aunty is in a rush? Well, if she was in a rush, she can take a taxi right?! And then to those gekseh people who continue arguing that maybe she's too poor for it, then she can leave earlier right? Being in a rush doesn't give you a certificate to cut queues. OK BYE 2012 CLASS BBQ
Posted on Saturday, 17 November 2012 Hey guize, before you click off this blog and think this is some boring BBQ experience that you will never be able to relate to and won't find it interesting, it's not all about that and there's camwhore shots so, don't click off. I worked hard for this post! And I'm so sorry for being so tardy. This is like the apology I write at the start of every post lolol. And before I start the post... a shameless advertisement for myself. CLICK ON MY NUFFNANG READERS, it's the little ad box at the side of my blog and it's practically killing two birds with one stone. You get to know about more products, I get to be happy! Remember, click on every blog's nuffnang(especially mine) to make their bloggers happy. It's like those stupid pet games where you feed the pet and it gets happy. Click on the nuffnang, and we'll be happy. :> And if you don't click on it, what is wrong with you? Why can't you make others happy? On to the post, I was at the (hopefully) annual class BBQ of my class and it was so fun and hilarious. But it's really sad eh, on that day before we wanted to start the BBQ, it was raining and like the whole floor was flooded with leaves and sticks and stuff and we had to wait a little longer until we could start the fire. I was like praying it wouldn't rain and then the rain also made us feel super pekcek, rain then stop, rain then stop. Like hello, make up your mind! Anyway, these were the drinks for the BBQ, it was super nice and amazing! STARBUCKS EH. Atas right? No la, we actually had bottled soft drinks bought from a value shop. Hais, but maybe one day everyone will be drinking Starbucks at a BBQ. If some rich person sponsor la! Anyway, we could finally start the fire at around 5-ish and I was so thankful the rain stopped. There were three BBQ pits though, and we booked two and COINCIDENTALLY, since it was a public holiday, another group of people booked the other BBQ pit and we had to share the little space we had. Grrr. The food was delivered though, I mean some, like the fried rice and beehoon and the marinated chicken wings and all that. I'm not putting down their website because they didn't give us the free ice box... No la, not so xiaoqi. It's because I also forgot the website. Oops. ANYWAY, I didn't cook the food even though I wanted to stand near and act as if I'm a master BBQ chef but unfortunately, I was the only one wearing jeans because I thought I would stand out. I did, but it was also freaking hot in jeans. Never wearing them to a BBQ ever again. Also, like people were saying that my contact lens will melt, and they seemed very concerned eh, but I also not sure whether they're genuinely concerned or they don't want me hog the BBQ space. So, I just went around and took pictures while there was still daylight! Better, can use for blogs and no need intrude space. Taken with an iPhone 4. Me with the DSLR strap slinging over and how ironic you may think, to take pictures with an iPhone when I got a DSLR in my hands. Solo shot with the DSLR, with Jay at the back giving a 'wtf is he doing again' look. New hashtag : #sotd SHOES OF THE DAY. LOLOL. I really liked the pic, but it had to turn out blurry. Thanks alot. Not going to enlarge the picture, because all my fats are sticking out and if I photoshop them away, people are going to say I can't live up to reality and stuff. Anyway, I didn't want to do this but Z was like, eh faster la! So here goes... extremely gayish #ootd And the condo had a playground and Z went on this swing thing. Picture's blur again! I don't know why, it's not because I'm a lousy photographer ok really. Didn't put my shot because I looked crazy and looked like I'm going to kill 17 pigs. And when we went back, Mr Tan(co-form teacher and who everybody says is super hot even though I cannot fanthom why, maybe because I'm a boy.) and his girlfriend wanted to go get food but there was no food so they said (actually I said la) that they were gonna go patuo around the area. LOL. But eventually, the grill started and the first things that were cooked were hot dogs and chicken wings. Even though I didn't have any, it's yummy! Even though half the chicken wings were half-cooked in certain areas. DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM 15 YEAR OLDS BARBECUING STUFF ON THEIR OWN. The fried rice, which is my favorite (only thing I ate aside from otah) at the BBQ. I took like a second serving and people started giving me the 'so fat already still eat'. Go away. You might be thinking, what a beautiful slice of cake. One of the classmate's birthday was coming real quick so the planning com(I was unaware, I swear.) prepared a cute slice of cake for her. The flame on the candle was really annoying please, keep going off again and again. We had to relight it like 50000 times. BIRTHDAY GIRL AND HER CAKE. LOL, when we first came out with the cake, she had this blur look and then I think people were wondering whose cake it was. Proud netballer, training 3 times a week, every week, every year(just kidding, not every week.) and eating a calorie-laden cake. Evan, before blowing out her candle. MORE CHICKEN WINGS ON THE GRILL. Nicole, Debbie and Faberrr. Ok these photos weren't taken by me though. Oh well, they eating half-way then need take photo. Buey sian one meh! AND THEY HAD MARSHMALLOWS. And I missed it, because I was running around taking other camwho pictures. The view of the pool, where me, Z, Mab, and Siqi was hanging out at because idk, I don't like to be there when people are eating. \ Mabz and Siqi, by the pool. They look so beachy. LOLOLOL. Do you get it? Camwho time! At the playground because everybody will get paranoid if the camera drops into the water. This picture is taken with flash, and look at our faces, so shiny. Oh, and on a sidenote, congratulations to Z and Danial. I will be putting their Twitter down below at the end of this post, so you can congratulate them. We found a really good source of light, and it's really strong sia. It's like those that are used at professional photoshoots, and it's really good and glaring, perfect for photos. Don't know whose face at the back, photobomber! Another shot! And another one. AND ONE WITH ANNUR. She popped up later to join us, and it's like finally I can has photo with her. heh. She's super nice! And one with Mabz. Last camwho pic of this series! I think. And Z bought her poloraid camera too, which is crazy because she bought 3 cameras, DSLR, Pen(digitalish) and the poloraid. And of course, being our class, people just jumped into the pool fully-clothed. Hahaha, it was actually supposed to be people pushing others in but everyone too enthu already, just jump in. LOL at this candid picture, where the three of them looked like they're casting some water spell. LOL at Faber in the middle. Like very 'I GOT THE POWER'. And of course, I didn't bring any extra clothes except a shirt so I didn't jump in so willingly. Taking a picture with the model Shannon, always wearing sunglasses one this model! With 1/4 of the people in the pool. And since me and Z didn't bring clothes, we went leg pooling! Hahaha, so looserish. But afterwards, we just jumped into the pool because YOLO. Your planning committee for the BBQ! I hope the planning committee can stay the same, it's super fun. And yes, we all have geek glasses/sunglasses because we're cool like that. I'm the one in the middle, so short fml. And on another unrelated note, I came home to this. HEAVEN. I don't care whether Lao Ban beancurd is smoother or whatever, this is still my favorite. Sweet, chunky and accessible everywhere. TWITTERS : @fatsouls @zettyizzati @mabelixir @munlite_ @danialagron I can't remember the rest. OK BYE What are you living for?
Posted on Tuesday, 6 November 2012 Hi guize, sorry for the tacky updates but I'm still happy you guys are checking back for updates for the past 2 weeks. THIS WILL BE A WORDY POST, look for the bottom of this post for the new updates. I see so many people tweeting sad tweets and it makes me think about one simple thing. What are we living for? Take a look at us teenagers, studying like crazy. When you reach Sec 3, you'll probably be faced with the fact that it's the start of this hard life. Before sec 3, you can probably slack and play and do whatever you want and it won't affect you as much. Once you reach sec 3, if you're in NA, you probably will take N levels in the next year. Stress. If you're in Express, EVEN MORE STRESS, O levels next year. And you know, if you screw up, you screw up. That's why everyone starts working harder. Once you take your O's, the typical path is Poly. Or if you're super gekseh and smart, then you'll take the scholar's path, JC. And there's ITE also(which I don't look down ok) and you realize that you start working from there and getting your diplomas and stuff and then you start working until you die. So what are we even living for? Is it to earn money and try to earn as much money because people say with money life is easy? I think it's funny how people just try and try and try all their lives to make money and it seems like the most important thing ever. "Man spends his health working to earn money, and then spends money to repair his health.", a quote from Buddha I think, I'm not sure. People always say, 'money can't get you happiness.' And it's kind of true and false because if you don't have money, how can you possibly survive? And even if you have money, it doesn't guarantee happiness(although it's better to ponder about these things in a penthouse in Orchard Road) My route in life has always been the typical route, like try hard, do well at stuff, go to university and then go be a banker and lead a really boring life and it STILL is now, although I won't be a banker because my math sucks. All I ever wanted to do in life is to be happy, to have connections and the most important, it's to not disappoint my parents. I don't get how people can screw their lives up when their parents are placing hopes on them. Like so 辜负 their expectations. Anyway, the thing is, if we achieve all that, what comes next? They say life is a puzzle and you find the pieces yourself and I know I have to try and not whine like some baby but what if I don't ever find the pieces and just nothing comes after that? I feel like that now, like nothing makes sense. I don't know why I'm here, what I'm doing here(playing Scramble 24/7) and what to expect now. It's like this hollow feeling and like there's nothing. It's the same feeling when I think what happens after you die. Will you become nothing? Imagine if you were nothing. Nothing at all, you're not the person you are, you're not even a person or living or dead. You're just gone, you have no thoughts, you can't even think because you're not existent. I don't know whether this feeling will go down, and it's not like I'm facing horrible problems currently but it's just... *sad face* ANYWAY, I'm trying to look at the bright side and YES this is a short blogpost but I'll be baking a rainbow cake... again, hoping that it'll succeed and I guess if it succeeds I'll blog about it? But if it doesn't, then oh well. That is the new update if you like posts with pictures. OK BYE |
