<< buzz like a bee>>

Something irritating happened today.
I went to bishan kopitiam to hv my dinner.
A china guy from the drink stall walked up my table and asked what drink I want.
Me: I want ice lemon tea but without ice.
Their ice lemon tea is those home made type not canned drink.
Guy: How to drink ice lemon tea without ice? It wont taste nice.
Me: But I want it without the ice!
Guy: But how to drink without the ice? We dun hv 'ice lemon tea without ice'.
Me: Just dun put ice la.
Guy: Doesnt it taste weird without the ice?
Me: I am the one drinking not U! Just give me that!
We continue to argue over the ice thingy which is just a very simple request.
In the end he still gave me ice lemon tea with ice.
Feel so irritated that I feel like hammer him.
Either he dun understand simple english or his country dun hv such a 'weird' culture!

Its the 2nd week of school and I am already busy like hell.
Rushing here and there, buzzing like a bee.
There is a population boom in ntu.
All of a sudden the school seems so crowded everywhere I go.
And the queue in the canteen, printing shop even toilet is always super long.
Hate it!!

I am taking 7 module this semester plus fyp.
On average I study 4hrs per day in school which sounds quite relax!
But not true. Too many break in between.
Ntu not enough benches or desktop for me to use.
I wonder where does the increased in school fee goes to.
Lecture starts at 1030am everyday.
No more 830 class. This is the best timetable I ever had!

Something funny happened on the first day of school.
I attended the first lecture of my core module.
It was a very dry and boring module.
The lecturer was reading words from the lec notes and he misread a term 'g-line' as g-string.
The whole lecture theatre with 800 students burst into laughter which lasted for 5 mins.
The lecturer quickly explained that it was a slip of the tongue but the laughter wouldnt stop.
That was so embarrassing!
He was then mistaken as some horny, lecherous guy. Poor thing..
What will you do if you were the lecturer?

Had a small chat with Tiff.
She gave me 3 missed call. Sorry!
A very lame guy told me this.
"Hey I just give u a missed call."
"You looking for me? Yes?"
"Nothing. I miss you so I give u a missed call."
This is so lame!! :S
Anyway, hope u hv a fun time with ur darlings at thailand.
Take more pix and dun forget the mission k. Hee.

Looking forward for the weekend to come.
I wana jog and play squash.
I wana hv a nice cafe session with cakes and iced cool drink.
I wana visit the newly open New York cafe at citylink.
I wana watch the movie 'Haunting'.
I wana shop. My wardrobe needs some new clothes.
I wana meet up with my gazebooers and my colleagues.
Waiting for friday to come!!

<< Updating >>

Backed from Penang on sunday evening.
And mon is the first day of school which ends at 8.30pm. SIANZ!!
Penang is not a fun place for those adventurous people.
But its definitely a paradise for good food.
The food was so nice that I ate exactly the same food for two consecutive nights.
The portion was big and the ingredient given was very generously.
Thats why customers are coming back for more.
I tried the chendol there which they claimed was very famous.
But it tasted normal to me except that the red beans were damn big and fat.
The char kuay tiao and laska are totally different taste from here. Must try!

I stayed in Copthrone Orchid Hotel.
It is a 4 star hotel but the service and facilities are only 2 stars!
My room was not make up throughout my entire stay there despite calling the houskeeping alot of times.
No hair dryer in the room which is still acceptable for me.
All the lift not working while going for my breakfast buffet.
Waited for 10 mins for it. *Frustrated.
So I went back to my hotel room and called up the reception to complain.
And the lastly the most amusing thing was breakfast buffet starts at 6.30am and the crowd was slowly coming in but the restaurant staffs report work at 7.30am!
What a DIY buffet I had! Had to fry the egg and clear the plates ourselves. *Horrible hotel!

My mum told me about the $540 medisave for stylepalace the moment I came back from my trip. No time to go find out more.
Yest Tiff called me up regarding the same thing.
It seems serious. $540 of our profit is gonna fly away. ='(
I couldnt find the stupid letter where my dad put it.
Stylepalace is in such a mess and my mum is helping me to clear the up the shit all this while.
Thank you Mummy!!
She is doing all the work but the money is going into my pocket.
She deserves more credit than me!

I am damn broke after the trip.
And I am badly affected by my tuition centre shifting to a new location.
I lost a class becoz of this = amount of income lost.
I lost a few students too in my remaining class = no more incentives.
All this adds up to less pay. *Arghh.
And after PSLE in Oct, my two Pri 6 class wont be coming for tuition anymore.
So I will be left with one class which is only hundred bucks a month. fuck.
Gotta find more tution assignment!

Tmr I am meeting Tiff to buy hp.
I has been so excited about it but not now anymore.
May need to hold back the plan of changing hp.
I just pray that national day brings some luck to me.
Let my targetted phone be on the promotion list pls..

<< Ok ok Here I come >>

I was waken up by my bro alarm clock at 6am.
Sickening. I hate to be disturbed when I am sleeping.
I cant get back to sleep after that.
Wanted to go for a jog but was lazy to get out of my bed.
Why cant I be more disciplined and determined?
I want to be healthy yet I am so lazy!


I went to look at my blog and saw Tiff tagging my board.
And here I am doing some updating.
I prefer to read people blog rather than writing it.

Cos I am lousy at expressing my thoughts.
I think I write better in Mandarin than in ang mo.
My ang mo sucks!

Nothing much to update anyway.
Update my love life??
I am waiting for 3rd Aug to come which is tomorrow!
My dad asked why I am always going for holiday in a nagging way.
I kept quiet and continue to eat my food.
My dad continues to nag saying tt I am spending too much money, and it is not safe to travel blah blah.
I continue to eat my food until the nagging cease.
Dun understand why parents always nag at their children even when they hv done nth wrong. Haiz.
Is there any research on why older people tend to nag more?

Suddenly I wish that I am back to school.
At least I hv an excuse for not doing the house work.
I am not trying to be irresponsible.
Just feel that my mum is so unfair to me.
No matter how hardworking I am, I will nv reach my mum cleanliness standard.
Reaching 100% is already very difficult but hers is 101%!
She is more energetic than me cos she has so much energy to nag and scream at me after a hard day work. Haiz.
I know I shldnt be complaining cos I will miss their nagging one day when they are not around.

To dear Tiff:
Thank you for your strong encouragement.
You are right. What matter most is how me and him think and not what others think. =D
You are not the ugliest pig I had ever seen on earth.
You really look pretty with your new hairstyle in the photos.
Instead of fagging about ur weight, do something abt it.
If you need someone to exercise with you in any form, I will be the one to volunteer.
I know I am getting older, and I hate to nag this at you again and again so
please quitting smoking first.
