Courtesy.
A recent survey by Reader's Digest on 'courtesy' for 30 cities revealed that S'pore is in the 3...0th position. Nope, not shocked at our ranking(since i'm not bery courteous myself); nope not surprised NYC is in top 3. Afterall, its about 'courtesy' and doesn't include the number of guns drawn.
I personally would like to recommend new guidelines on how to conduct this survey so as to improve the accuracy.
Go to the respective train stations in the city, board one and get off the other; calculate how many people are standing directly in front of you when you're trying to get off and how many knocks into you.
Rent a store, start selling some clothes and put a 50% discount board outside your shop. At the end of the day, see how much blood has been shed.
Go up to some guy, any guy, and utter a vulgarity to him/her. Calculate how many bullets did he/she put into you.
Using a survey to see how courteous a country's people are is just... obscene(it juz came to me). As much as i'll agree some S'poreans need to brush up on mannerisms, like those who scolds people 混帐 for nth, judging us based on a 60-people response is still unfair la.
Then again, in S'pore everything is about speed and time since from young there's this cynical and rushing mindset. Like holding a door for someone could mean losing a few million bucks or helping someone pick up dropped items could be a plot by the person to steal your wallet.
Forget the cynical part. I think that's just me.

OMFG.
The recent toilet violence thing sparked quite a furore in S'pore. Sadly, i hadn't got to watch it.
But i've seen the Hong Kong bus uncle thing, which is pretty hilarious.
But society promotes equality of the sexes, so Hong Kong ladies decided to show the world their might.

Adventures at CMPB!
Today is my day to go to CMPB for my NS checkup, so i get to skip school(gd day i chose, abit off-mood for sch)
Since dress code is T-shirt and shorts, i wore so casually that I felt like the uncle going market buy fish.
Turns out I became the fish to be examined.
Lost my way thanks to a very packed bus and a very irritating auntie who had to block my view, but I wasn't late fortunately. Upon reaching, the first thing I heard was...
每一次和你分开 深深的被你打败 每一次放弃你的温柔 痛苦难以释怀 每一次和你分开 每一次 kiss you goodbye 爱情的滋味此刻我终于最明白
Wah, not bad ar, serving in CMPB also can be so hip sia. What followed the melodious song was...
"Oei, you all work here to listen to music issit? Want extend issit?"
And then there was silence. =============================================
The thing was mostly about waiting and waiting, but since my timeslot isn't really packed so things went pretty smoothly. Except there was this guy whom I think just turned 3 sia.
He go counter, give form liaoz, then go back sit down and take up his phone and called.
"Wei, daddy ar, i give form liaoz..."
Then taking back the form and went for the urine test, then after urine test go to next station, he will take up his phone and call,
"Wei, daddy ar, just finished urine test lehz. blahblahblah...."
Then, go for medical consultation while waiting for his turn also must take up his phone and call,
"Wei, daddy ar, wah, so pai seh, so many naked guys here..."
Ah boi ar, you go army also need to call daddy for everything issit? 18 years old still call daddy for everything, omg. I think when he gets enlist his unit will kanna pumping everyday.
Encik: Squad: SEDIIIIIII... YA! EH YOU, WHY YOU NEVER STAND AT ATTENTION(all enciks talk like shouting one)
Ah-Boi: Hur? Sorry encik, I call my daddy how to sedia first.
Encik: KNNBCCB(all enciks use vulgarities as punctuation marks)WHOLE LOT CARRY ON 2394658 PUMPINGS NOW KNNBCCB
Ah-Boi: Hur? Sorry encik, I call my daddy how to pump first.
Thanks. ========================================
That was kinda exaggerating, but not entirely fake la. Anyway, back to myself, at the second last station we were supposed to go for this consultation with a doctor, who will make the final confirmations of how you will be graded(Pes A, B, C, D, E or F).
Basically, he looked at my records and started nodding his head...
"Na, Pes A for you liao hor, so fit... Expected right... Ok, take the form and... WAH"
He looked at my feet, froze for a split second and set my file back on the table.
"Very flat footed lehz... So, you want me to grade you combat fit or unfit?"
I was prepared for anything, but i didn't know I'll be given a chance between getting a Pes A and Pes C la. And to really help out, he gave me 5 seconds to decide.
Thanks.
Ended up getting a Pes C; the option of slacking was a much more tantalizing choice over a possible tough training. But i kind of regretted it on the way home. Getting Pes C probably means i'll be a lowly Clerk of sorts, that's god-like boring la, compared to sweating out with your brudders under the Sun. O-well, choice made, bo bian.
They say its tough making life choices. I beg to differ; I made mine in 5 seconds. Hurhur.

With a swift stride he transverse the landscape, always looking out for any potential dangers. He neeeds to reach his destination before midnight, for midnight is the time where the most and greatest evils lurks, awaiting a chance to jump on him.
He is powerful, but those foul monsters outnumber him greatly.
"I am near." He said to himself, smiling at the thought.
Then he saw a movement at the corner of his eye. He cursed under his breath and quickened his pace . No time, he thought; he might be too late.
As he moved more movement was spotted. The number of monsters are increasing, and these hideous creatures have no problem catching up at all.
10 metres left! Then he stopped dead in his path. Right between the distance of him and his destination stood motionless one of the foul creatures, flickering its feelers, as if mocking his hesitance.
But the creature has far underestimated the man. With a smile, the man disappeared into the air. The foul creature only realised where the man was, above it, seconds before its flattened end.
"Weakling." The man thought to himself and walked to the lift.
"Next time better go home earlier. The later it gets the more cockroaches there are..." The man thought to himself.

Irony.
Don't judge me by your values, I'm not obliged to be under the scrutiny of your superficial mind.
Although I really do think that many people are too superficial, myself included, it'll be so wrong to say that I do not care for other people's opinions of me. I shudder at the thought of being ostracized by the world, where everyone views you with that look; a stark example, though exaggerated, would be Gaara's reaction.
Because I'm living in a society, under the scrutiny of everyone else around us. People will judge me the same way i judge people. So its like a contradiction for me to not want people to judge me when i'm constantly judging people by my own values. I ask myself sometimes, the ability to judge people by a neutral stand can still be attained right? If so, what defines 'neutral'? The society's norm? The majority's point of view?
Black and white no longer exists the same way the yolk and white no longer remains separated, i hate to be unfair to people by judging them based on my biased stand, but i get so helpless in this aspect since so many things are relative and ambiguous
Its always a constant battle between me and the nature of my character- to be so critical towards people.
I am a cynic, so I always magnify the dark side of human nature to myself and hence, I am always on my guard against people. I admit there's always that thought inside of me that anyone, and i mean anyone, would betray me. Also, whenever i turn my back on someone, I always think that the person would be speaking ill of me somewhere...
Oversensitive?
I guess its never a bad thing to be careful.

Perils of Studying at Mac.
Muahahahaz. I am currently watching Naruto Ep 74. Tomorrow common test? Happiness la.
Actually, I am not slacking. I studied at Mac from 8am all the way till around 4pm. Woot. 2 more topics to cover and i'm done for(pun intended). Some interesting observations i had while studying there, on the cons of studying at Mac. Here's a brief summary:
==========================================
Con 1: Constant smell of food. Mac ain't cheap ya' know, one meal is like 5 dollars plus, pretty heavy spending for a poor student like me. It doesn't help when you keep smelling the Fantastic, filet, nuggets, fries.... ARGH. You get hungry so damn fast. Not to mention the fattening problem as well.
Con 2: Cute kids When Mama brings Ah-boi to Mac, he walks about when Mama is buying Happy meal for him. So when he walked up to me, me being the considerate and well-mannered model teenager, cannot bear to ignore the boy and starts playing with him.
The Mama comes back, sees Ah-boi, pulls Ah-boi from me, gave me that "you are a criminal" look then walk away, leaving me bewildered and temporarily questioning myself if i really am a criminal.
Very distracting.
Con 3: Uncle Reading FHM. Uncle, around 40, wearing specs looking rather honest, flips open a FHM magazine and starts browsing. Because it is held in a position that you can see the pictures of ladies clad in traditional Cheongsam and Baju-Kurongs, you become distracted and start to ogle atread the mag as well.
Half an hour gone. Thx.
Con 4: Primary School Kids You were happily studying your stuff when you accidentally overheard the conversation of the 3 primary school boys near you.
Boy 1: Wah, i tell you ar, the girls there very powerful la, i cannot tahan also Boy 2: Really, when you meet them one? Boy 1: Yesterday lohz...
It was a shock to me. Primary school boy! yet he's already.... Omg, he's surpassed even the bulk of the teenagers... What has the world come to!?*cue lightning roar*
Then i heard something else, and felt utter shame for myself...
Boy 1: Their defence damn power, then the point guard also damn pro la...
BASKETBALL LA. WHAT THINKING YOU, YOU DIRTY-MINDED FELLOW.
OEI! LIM PEH STUDYING HERE LEHZ, CAN YOU LIKE DO YOUR SMOOCHIE-WOOCHIE-TOUCHIE STUFF SOMEWHERE ELSE OR NOT *eyes turning green*.
Na bei.
==========================================
Wow, quite a list there. Well, me being a considerate and well-mannered model GP student means that I have mastered the skill of critical thinking and hence, figured out solutions for each of these problems as they came out. Here are my proposals for your reference:
Sol. 1 Impose sanctions and force the MacDonald's Coporation to lower their food prices to 50% of current prices. If they resist, kill them.
Sol. 2 All kids considered as cute should be chained and muffled to their parents. Since this is a democratic, non-violence and peaceful country, failure to abide by this rule will mean death punishment on the spot for both parent and child.
Sol. 3 Ban the public reading of FHM mag. Uncles who fail to abide by this law will be treated with capital punishment.
Sol. 4 KILL ALL PRIMARY SCHOOL KIDS.
Sol. 5 KILL ALL COUPLES, DAMMIT.
I think its the stress that created this entry. Hurhur.

Wahahahahahz.
I am good at problem solving. Not.
I haven't been real open about what's going on (at home), so probably most of you reading this is kinda blur. For the past few weeks I have been mugging at home, not wrong to say day and night, because my sleeping time was a 4/5am to 10 am kinda thing.
So basically, my study hours are like 12-13 hours 0_0!!
Gay? NOT.
I kinda realise that i'm always tired, and when i go back to those that i have revised... Its all in a blur!
Damn sad. Then i tried to solve the problem. First, trying out with lesser study times. NO USE.
Then i tried with study times with Naruto breaks in between. NO USE.
Finally, I thought of this habit that's been with me so long i always overlook it- sleeping times. Its blardy obvious la, but when you're me its different. Therefore, I started sleeping at around 12 plus timing and wake up early in the morning. Study study, then sleep at 12 plus...
And i can sense that big difference la. Haiz. So late then realise.
But as usual, sadistic life never fails to pose you challenges. The new problem is that my productivity is high, but conentration span freaking low(think 1-2 hours study then 3-4 hours break). I spend more time on Naruto for the past 4 days than studying! If i had solved that problem earlier and kept on, I probably be alright for the common tests. But now, i'm studying from scratch, with very limited concentration span.
I'll have to study at a god-like pace to make it.
BAH.
Life's a bitch. I'll just do whatever i can le la. Its worse to be crying over the lack of time.
Another thing though, I'm starting to... actually, already, loving the feeling of being alone. Hmmm.

At the beginning, I thought people who watched Spirited Away and said that they like it are strange people.
Its an anime la, made into a movie and you like it?
I watched it just now and... Woah. I like it.
I thought the director was taking a dig at human beings with the character No-Face. No-Face reminded me starkly of teenagers; without an identity, only making one out of itself relative to the environment. Are we who we really are, or are we what we made ourselves appear to be because the society needs us to be like this?
Then again, what is our true identity?

Anyway, a lot has change, really, like how i'm starting to like being all alone... But, one thing hasn't change...
MY SUAN-ING. While chatting with Weliang on MSN, he started to zi lian and commented that he "luv his pics", then changed to this picture-
creative?
I exclaimed a 'wow' and replied a damn high level suan.
Here's the excerpt: red is me, the other is weliang.
I missed S'pore Idol last week and one of my friend's commented that there was one contestant who did very well. Only one? Then i mustn't have missed much. Watching today's S'pore idol proved the point that S'pore lacks talents.
Because I'm pretty free and lazy to do work, i shall do a commentary on each contestant who sang tonight, satisfying my devilish need to put down others. . . . . . . . A bitch in the auditions, a plastic doll(and a not-so-good-looking one at that) and cocky singer who thought she had many fans in the piano show. Wow. She's halfway into Mediacorp already.
"Auntie, wrong show lah" was what came to my mind the instant i saw her. No no no, I'm not discriminating aunties whatsoever, i just thought she'll fit in better in '黄金年华' or smth liddat. Otherwise, no comments; i was in the loo.
Milly who? The only thing i remembered about her was those bunch of male supporters up there cheering. Hmmm.*trying hard to recall her performance*
She just reminds me of a loudhailer with an identity crisis. Act sexy not sexy, act cute not cute, don't know what she trying to do sia... And she's a perfect example of how bad Chinese names can sound in English. Eeew.
I have no idea how to describe her. Her song sounded on the edge of being good or bad, or maybe both; and her personality titters on the edge of sanity. But she's got that image fixed in the viewers' minds, i kinda like her weirdness.
My favourite, though she's a bit on the 'rounder' side(its more of the looks than the voice, actually). I thought if you sound good, you look bad; if you look good, you sound bad; if you look good and sound good, you dance terribly.
She must've been a horrid dancer.
As what i've mentioned above, i think she belongs to the 'look gd, sound bad' category. Anyone whose been to last year's JJC talentime would've remembered 2 people who sang the same song and easily sounded better than her. She just took the song, blasted all the way and everyone praised her. wth?
All in all, only one did the best, and i think he fits the bill of the next S'pore Idol.
Swee la.

A blink of an eye and we're one week off. Its been a painful 1 week, i'm feeling... dead. 2 more weeks to common tests. I'm more or less dead. I'm really really worried abt my lack of concentration.
Happen to come across this classic quote while surfing. Think most of you may not seen it before, since its from a show that is like... older than us la.
Its a show starring Stephen Chow acting as the Monkey King. So as usual, its a rather warped version of the show.
That quote, i think made quite an impact and impression on those who watched it then.
Don't ask me why. I'm not that era's product. But thinking back, when i watched the show, that part of the show is probably the most memorable one. I remember the scene as Stephen Chow getting ready to putting on his headband, then saying his last words as a mortal.
