Late wet vampire

I think I am destined to be late my whole life! And this is irritating me! I left my house at 10:30 a.m. for a 12 p.m. lecture. I only need 1 hour to travel to school. So that leaves me with 30 minutes for breakfast. So I went Thomson for chicken briyani.

I told the waiter to separate the chicken sambal and rice! Ok he did! But why on earth did he drizzle sambal sauce on my rice? Half the plate of rice was wet with sauce! And I hate sauce on my rice!

This reminded me the time when I was staying in Sheares hall! I simply hated wet rice and sometimes the uncle who served dinner in Sheares didn’t even ask and he would scoop a big spoonful of curry into my rice! And I hated it. My hall mates thought I was anorexia but I wasn’t. I simply hated wet rice and I refuse to eat wet rice!

I left after eating half the plate of briyani because the other half was wet! I waited forever for the bus! It’s really forever. It’s 11:40 a.m. now and I am still on bus 165 at Adams Rd. This means I’m going to be late for my 12p.m. lecture!

And I saw the anti smoking ad in some bus stops. OMG it’s so distasteful! Which smoker would imagine herself to end up like the sick lady? People would simply not look at the ad because it is so gross! The poster aunty can star in some horror show la! It looks like her mouth rot from sucking vampire’s dick. Fear appeal—too high or too little will render an advertisement ineffective!

Sumiko Tan

I enjoy reading Sumiko Tan's column on The Sunday Times. I'm sure many people do. Her column, similar to my blog, is a mini whinery. I love how she whined about the dreadful Chinese New Year, her singlehood because (99.9% of eligible bachelors are gay), her monday blues and a plethora of other stuff which many people could relate to.

=(

Today is a bad day too.. I lost my hp. Or perhaps it was stolen... Argh... I dunno how to trace back all the numbers..... sigh

Just feel like whining

Today's a pretty bad day!

1) I missed bus 151 hence...

2) I was late for my 10a.m. tutorial. I reached class at 10:25a.m. Not to mention, this is a one hour tutorial slot ! I had to leave class at 10:40a.m. to sit for a translation test outside of school.

3) I took a cab to Science Park and reached the venue at 11a.m. sharp. How disgusting that one of the two admin staff who were in charge of the test was late.....

4) So I went to the canteen in the office building to grab coffee. When I returned to the room, the staff who was late has just arrived. She's such a b****. Didn't even bother to look at me and my pretty face! But who cares about an old heck like her.

5) The Chinese to English translation test were disastrous. OMG! Who on earth would be able to translate such technical report? It's about waste water treatment and desalination etc... What's worst is that out of the 12 paragraphs, I only managed to translate two para!

6) Being the polite me, I did not leave the test halfway although it was a total waste of my time! Seems like I'm not fated to do an internship in China afterall.

7) I went back to school thereafter to prepare for a marketing presentation. The presentation went smoothly but after hearing Irene's comment and upon my self reflection, I feel that my behaviour and what I said during presentation was pretty unacceptable.

8) My project was on a Holistic Living Magazine. A student commented that "Guys would not want to be caught dead with your magazine"... And my reply was "You have a very traditional male chauvinistic thinking"... I can't remember what happened next but according to Irene, I had scared him... Poor boy. Go home and sleep la U!

9) A girl asked "So are you going to incorporate a beauty section in your content with regard to pedicure, manicure and muscles building etc..." I can't remember exactly what she said. But when I heard the magic word "manicure", I started touching my fingers as though I'm applying nail polish. OMG! This is such a gay-ish behaviour and oh no. I can't believe I did that in front of the seminar. Anyway my reply to her was that "Our magazine will focus on contents that make reader feel that beauty is inside-out, and not just on the outside etc..." Of course, in a very gay-ish manner too.

10) So, in conclusion, a diva-ish bitch will always remain a diva-ish bitch. It's innate and intrinsic.

Borders Children Section

This is my first time entering the childrens' section in Borders bookstore. I went there to do some "research" for one of my module. It is such a messy place. Probably the messiest area in the whole bookstore, if not the messiest place in the whole of Wheelocks! It's just madness. Books lying all over the floor, children screaming, crying, unwrapping plastic that wraps the book, books placed on the wrong shelves etc etc etc... Felt so giddy and left after 15mins.

Childrens' books are so creative nowadays. Lots of nice pictures and 3D pullout. Some books are pieced together by different materials for different pages. Very impressive.

SIA Ad

So, Batey Ads has lost the much coveted SIA account which is worth $50 million a year. I say, Batey Ads focused too much on the flight stewardess.

The pink economy is rising rapidly. This segment isnt interested in red lips, red nails, bright blue eye shadow and Sarong Kerbaya.

It's high time to incorporate the flight stewards into SIA ads! They make the airlines a great way to fly too =)

09 Mar 2007

I woke up at 12p.m. I've a lecture at 12p.m. I don't feel guilty not attending the lecture. I felt liberated. Totally.

I went to my kitchen, found more than 20 cockroaches littered on the floor. They started moving when I tried to clear them with a broom. How disturbing! It's the anti-dengue fogging procedure in the morning that forced all the cockroaches out of the rubbish chute.

Cryatal Jade never go out of style.

There are a few songs which will never go out of date. Jay Chou's "shan hu hai", "feng", Liang Jing Ru's "fen shou kuai le", Many Faye Wong and Natalie Merchant's songs. I listen to them when I take bus home from sch. I listen to them when I am alone. I listen to them when I need to be reminded of certain events that have happened.

I hear another breakup story. Stay strong.

have I been blind
have I been lost
inside my self and
my own mind
hypnotized
mesmerized
by what my eyes have seen

Yours Truly,
Whine
