Singtel Blog Competition, dated 24 March 2004
Everytime I'm in this office I feel like shitting. I don't know why. Must be the newsroom's air. Or could it be that the toilet is just so nice and warm?
Everytime I hear my phone ring I feel like peeing because I'm scared that some person would tell me that I misquoted him and he is going to sue.
This sucks. I'm so miserable.

Life's Little Lessons
Alright alliterations aside. Oops another.
Quite often in life, we get little incidents which makes us go like: "I've learnt never ever to do that again man!" For example, that time when u and your bf/gf were shagging in the office and you conveniently forgot there was a survellience camera... Always check for cameras when having sex.
The recent rush of people telling me I'm mean have reminded me about this incident I should never have forgot.
Some time last year, everyone in class was pissed with a classmate of mine, lets call her "C" (C for classmate, don't you even start guessing its Clara). She behaved in a weird moody manner. Often, she was late for school, and she did not participate in class work as much as she should have.
C has a boyfriend, lets call him Bf. Bf and C were very close to each other, and when we asked Bf whats happening to C, he would say its nothing, its nothing.
C missed many classes, and even missed tests. Classmates were concerned at first, but seeing no improvement on C's part to make a chance to improve her school life, soon gave up and brushed C's behaviour off as plain laziness.
Call us busybodies, but we classmates felt that somewhat C was affecting Bf's classwork as well because she was so often upset (we naturally concluded he must have done something wrong to piss her off). Once, Bf and C missed a test and having took an MC, both were supposed to sit for the retest together. Bf reached on time, but C never arrived.
He took the test without her.
C was spotted standing outside the school along the road. Just standing there, staring into the air like that. 1 hour later, she was still standing there.
The coursemate who saw her told some of other classmates about this scary phenomenon, and one of our classmates called BF up, not knowing he is taking his test at that moment.
With the phone call, BF fled the exam hall to look for her.
I thought to myself: What the hell is wrong with C? Why didn't she just go take the test instead of doing this to BF?
Some of us went to the bus stop where C and Bf were situated. C was sitting there smiling a little at Bf, and when she saw me, she clammed up and stuffed her face into Bf's chest.
Bf mouthed silently for me to go away.
Alright great, I thought. So she is doing this to me. Have fun, you two.
C was also supposed to do a group project where she did not perform as expected. The group gave her bad feedback and word was spread to the lecturer, and the lecturer scolded her in class. C burst out in tears, but still did not tell us anything.
Yes, we talked about her, and it's no sunshine and seashells. Being a close friend of C, I felt uncomfortable hearing all these, but I had to agree behaving in this manner is not correct. Eg neglecting me in the bus stop!
Some months later, we found out the truth.
C's auntie was dying of cancer.
Prior to this incident, C has told us time and again how much she loved this auntie of hers, as she practically grew up with her. (I even dreamt about this auntie before. If you are an ardent blog reader you would know... indian lady? Gucci hp strap? ha ha)
Who were we to judge C's actions when the poor girl was breaking down inside but had to put on such a strong front in front of us? Who were we to say that Bf is silly to risk a few As for C's 'mood swings' when in actual fact their love had been such a strong and beautiful thing? How many people would have done that kind of sacrifice for their "loved" ones? He was there for her all the while.
It all became so clear. How could be have expected C to do stupid project work efficiently when all she had on her mind was her auntie? Was it really that difficult for the five of us to do she share for her when she was going through such a hard patch? What are friends for anyway?
Yes, if C was expecting understanding, she should have told us the truth. But the fact is, C is a person with a lot of pride, and she would never want sympathy from any of us. She is the kind who would not want everyone pestering her to ask her how her auntie is, so she would rather keep it in wraps, although we have all been misunderstanding her. She took it all in silently.
We should have known something is wrong when C broke down and cried in class, but did we bother to ask? No, not really.
I guess the lesson learnt here is that no matter to who, we should never be mean. Unless of course they start it first, then they deserve a retaliation twice as hard. But when we are evil to people, we would never know what they are going through, and whether your actions would cause much more harm than you think it would.
I blog this out because I want to remind myself. Don't be mean!! Don't be mean! Always be understanding!
I wish I was to C, not because I pity her of anything like that, but simply because she is a friend of mine. My friends would tell you this: Once you earned my friendship, I'll always be supporting you no matter what. Thats what friendship is to me! =)
*****
My take on Mini & Gu Er, the bits you didn't get to read on the papers.
Did an interview with Mini & Gu er, the Taiwanese girl band who came to Singapore to promote their album Fly Together. Saw my article on them perhaps (If you don't know by now, I'm a journalist), or maybe the repeated advertisements on TV.
Why Mini and Gu Er? Why do Taiwanese bands always have such gibberish names? First F4, a keyboard key. Thats ridiculous, but then we have to give them credit: It is memorable.
Then 5566, so that people would be so confused about whether there are 5,6, 55, 66 or 5566 members in the band. And then now "Mini and Gu Er" when they are FOUR members and it totally sounds like TWO.
Actually the group consists of 3 girls who form the group "Mini" and then "Gu Er" who is an independent singer by herself.
And guess what? All of them as fcuking short (I'm short doesn't mean I can't say other people are short)!! The girls call their band "Mini" because they are like... a minimum of 1.53m!! And they are damn proud of it! They claim it makes them look more adorable! Yeah when you are old you would be a cute granny too, babe. Better than a supermodel-like granny actually.
However, if you ask me I think they are not as chio as S.H.E, but its ok, its a plastic world nowadays. The Tong Tong girl is quite pretty. The rest barely passable, but still pleasant looking.
Oh yeah when I asked the girls whether they had idols of their own, Tong Tong said she only listens to classical, and very sportingly burst out into opera song for all of us to hear.
It was TERRIFIC. I'm really IMPRESSED. I swear that if there were glasses in the room, they would surely crack. The girl has one hell of a good voice.
I went to the interview with the impression that I would hate them. Was written somewhere in the profiles that one of them loves crying. WTF?! If she cries because, say our chicken rice does not live up to her expectations, I will smack her with a rolled up poster of theirs.
Which looks like this:
When I arrived I was pleasantly surprised. The girls were yakking away with the WanBao reporters as if this is their last conversation on Earth. When I spoke to them, they were spontanous and full of zest. Their answers were enthusiatic as if they are pretty much orgasmic with the idea of talking to reporters.
I have to admit, I pretty much like them at the end of the thing.
They may not appear extremely intelligent yes (afterall they are young), but it is their freshness and vitality that really makes them adorable. I suppose, being the next S.H.E is not very difficult if they would only shed off those horrid clothes. Ah Taiwanese singers have such blah taste in clothes.
Yes, I know its bad. And when they were asked to pose for photos, they immediately stood in such funny poses that I almost laughed my placenta out. For the funny picture, I'm sorry, but you would have to refer to www.todayonline.com, I don't have it.

If you guys have seen the channel 8 news you would have seen the press conference for To Mum With Love and Family Combo. Yes, I was at the press conference.
Guess who I saw there? Fellow famous blogger, Cheryl Tan. The girl works for *ahem, can't say* and was there as well to do record some sound bytes. Pretty yes, but I would say she looks good in a different way from the photos.
With her I had a conversation with Ng Hui (the girl acting in Living with Lydia) and Joanne Peh, both of which are smart girls with opinions. In other words, not another Fann Wong. Ha I like both of them.
We were discussing a little about politics. Ha ha ha ha can you imagine Fann doing that in fluent English. Ah well. Maybe she is not that dense, but I highly doubt it.
Perhaps, just perhaps, our future MediaCorp queens would be able to walk out of Singapore and do a Hollywood films without grammar mistakes. I'm sure Joanne Peh and Ng Hui can lick Owen's face just fine.
I forgot to take photos, so you can stop trying to scroll down now.
ANYWAY, heres the major point!!!
I SPOKE TO NONE OTHER THAN MICHELLE SARAM!!!
Ardent blog readers would know how much I dislike her, or rather, dislike the typical her in the roles she plays.
Ah, in the brief interview she did nothing to counter the distaste, expect that she was pleasant (what else do I expect her to do, bash my face?!) and polite.
Thanks GOODNESS, Michelle plays a role similar to Mo Yanyan (thats my chinese name!) in Holland Village: A materialistic girl who (fcuk it!) gets to kiss the droolable Christopher Lee (mi gosh he is so cute).
No people, she wouldn't get cancer. No, she would not sa jiao. No, she would not be perpetually dressed in baby blue and white. No, she would not shout at trains or run along a beach.
I actually asked her what she was more alike to in real life: The cancer-ridden patient she usually plays, or this loud bitchy character she gets to play as in To Mum With Love?
She laughed that trademark laughter and said that she was in between the two, not really loud and flamboyant, but definitely not the frail kind as well, but generally a quiet person.
Ah good for her. I really hope she would stop all those shu nu roles, really irk me.
One thing for sure though. Michelle Saram doesn't seem dumb, in fact, quite the contrary. She also doesn't not put on any airs, considering she is not really that small-time a star.

I see this signboard everyday, and I just realised how funny it looks.
Wa ha ha ha ha ha look at the stupid dog falling down!
Singtel Blog Competition, dated 23 March 2004
Sometimes I feel like I'm spoiling you all.
Now the time is 1:46 as I am writing this, and tomorrow I've got to wake up at 10am to accompany Benjamin to go to an Australian study fair. At first I thought going to the fair would be an aid to me, but I decided to work for the red cross society at scakoslovkia instead of going to uni, whatever that country's spelt.
I think countries with unspellable words ought to be sunken deep into the ocean, never to see light again.
Back to my point of spoiling you all. Why am I blogging at this vampiric hour?!
Because you guys asked me to. And also because I love reading comments of course. Fresh comments anyway. The BC issue is getting stale, isn't it?
Lets bring the topic back to ME.
Lets talk about how, unlike you all, I've got the best job in the world. Nope, I'm not Posh Spice (ie best job=fcuking beckham everyday), but I really lllove being a journalist!
For those of you who managed to get your hands on a copy of TODAY (Get your copy today! Its free!), you perhaps would have seen this:
Yeah, wtf is that?
AHA!
Written by yours truly, though that byline photo is fugly.
And whats ironic is that Mr Brown, whom I narrowly won in the Best Asian Weblogs contest is 3 pages in front of me, with the humour column he writes for TODAY.
So techically speaking, TODAY has recruited the two best bloggers in Singapore to work for them, although of course I can't compare myself to Mr Brown who is a really seasoned writer. he's very funny, you guys should read his website.
*****
I was assigned to attend the press conference of Marie France Bodyline, where they flew Christy Chung and Rosamund Kwan (Guan Zhi Lin) into sunny Singapore.
I can't say that the stars are not nice (they are, especially Christy, she's really cute and spontaneous), but I sincerely felt there was something wrong at the press conference.
The repeated harping on the weight issue made me cringe in my seat, and yes, as you had read, regret eating that custard puff. What was left out from my article was this conclusion I drew:
Rosamund keep repeating how she looks like a pig when she was fat, and how upset she felt etc. True enough, she was a little on the plump side, but if she's a pig, then surely everyone else is too.
I'm not sure how fat reporters in the room felt. I feel like slapping her and exclaiming, "Fcuk you there's nothing wrong with a bit of spare tyre!" but hey! I just realised that I don't need to account to her at all! Why is she making me so indignant about being fat? (I know tons of people are going to say I'm not fat, but looking at Rosamund's bamboo arms I can hardly believe that. I would look like a fat smelly hobbit standing next to her.)
Which is why I chose to stand next to Christy instead.
Damn that digression. And guys??! EYES HERE HELLO, not on Christy's boobies.
Alrighty are you ready?!
I think that slimming centres are taking away females' confidence with their stupid made-believe-to-be-perfect bodied models and then when we are all traumatized... sell it back to us again.
How cool is that? Its a damn smart idea! Snatch something away, and then ask you to pay to get it back, when the thing belongs to you in the first place.
Perhaps it can be argued that without slimming centres fat females possibly felt insecure anyway, but I'm sure the numerous slimming advertisements on TV enforces pretty strongly that slim is good.
There is something very wrong with the system isn't it? Never mind that.
What if someone takes away our oxygen one day, bottles it up, and told us that if we buy 5 we get 1 free?
Alright I said never mind already. More photos:
OMG Allan Wu's _expression is so fcuking funny that I cannot get the picture out of my mind!! Wa ha ha ha ha look at his photo. Now close your eyes (although if you close ur eyes u can't read this). Can still see him there right? Haha he will traumatize you for life!!
If you ask me, I think they look positively in love.
*****
I went to the Cleo's 50 eligible bachelor party. It was quite okie, except for one thing.
I don't like the female model in the poster.
Yay way better.
*****
You guys are so gonna KILL me because I went for the Fan Meeting Session for BAE YONG JUN and guess what? I forgot to bring my camera. How cool is that?
Here's a photo anyway, just because I'm new in my job and I'm damn hao lian.
*****
As if the above are not enough proof to show that my job really rules, here's more:
Freebies!!!
*****
Do you wanna hear my *low and sexy (see me, myself and I)* voice? You do?
Check this out!
Do you understand Mandarin? Even if you don't, it doesn't matter. Just tune in to hear anyway. I'm being interviewed on radio!
Which radio station?
RSI Singapore, and it will be boardcast on 23rd March at 8:30 pm on 95.8 FM. How cool is that?!
I'm sorry I failed to inform u guys about the 1st episode coz I myself forgot about it so its over now. Too late.

To the people who:
Once commented that my writing sucks;
that I'm technically not a writer;
and especially to Metastasis whom very much thinks that he should win the blogging contest because his writing is supposedly better than mine, but in the end lost miserably anyway,
I say:
S*** MY C***.
Let me slap you all with this:
Ha. ha. ha. ha. ha.
Similarly, to all the blogders who were with me all the while, I say, thank you for your support (even if you just read and did nothing, for the worst to happen to a writer would be the lack of an audience, supportive or not.). I can't do anything much to repay you guys, but I would continue blogging and not let anything get me down, ok? Promise.
I'm done with today's blog entry peeps.
Tell me what you think. =D
(Just in case anyone thinks I'm boosting I'm not. I'm just an intern. But no matter what, I got chosen to go there because of my writing, so to me, I'm really elated anyway. ;D And of course, whatever I write here is independent of my company's stand and would not affect my professionalism in news reporting. ) Read The Full Article
Spicy Saga Part III, read I and II first
Apparently, I heard news... Guess what I found:
From Kirin's chatlogs:
06:31:38 Kirin � Babycin
no probs. love your take on xiaxue. quite true
06:37:31 Babycin
Hmmm i wasn too harsh on e comment hor? Hee!
06:38:32 Kirin � Babycin
too lax !! hahaha
06:39:10 Kirin � Babycin
she's just herself lah. A red hot chilli padi....hmm..yeah..perhaps i'm too harsh also
Yeah great Kirin. So you wished that she scolded me more? You loved it when people criticise and hurt me? You seem to be fine with me on the surface, and I thought of you as a real friend.
And from Aesvalone:
21:52:09 Aesvalone
i agree on ur take too!
I'm really disappointed Shaun. I seriously thought we were ok, during the mahjong times and everything.
Apparently some people are not what they appear to be yeah?
*****
Anyway, back to my main point.
Why am I always the slut/bitch?
Seriously, I think its just my style. I look like an evil person. In fact, I look like I kick little furry dogs for fun, and epilate people's leg hair when they are not noticing. If you stick a moustache (how do u spell this?) on me I'll be an exact clone of Saddam. Except shorter.
In contrast, other people seem all nice and innocent, which gives them the benefit of looking like the nice guy in every argument.
Its not fair, but its alright, life's unfair.
See in this situation, because I spoke what I thought (honestly), people think I'm mean.
The thing to consider is this: Who started it?
Is it wrong to defend yourself? Did I even comment anything thing bad about her at first? No right?! I merely defended myself, afterall it is not fair she judges me from a stupid blog (alright Kirin judged me in real life and he thinks I suck, but lets neglect that for a moment.).
Alright, lets be fair here and weigh the amounts of insults. I say insults, meaning personal attacks on one another. Adjectives, or obvious connotations of them. Stating facts do not count, eg: "you use wor in your writing!".

Yeah there are people in the cyber world that have such poor sence of humour and enjoy it (you bunch of loosers), but trust me, you wont get far.
I never said that its not right to stay quiet about the things you dont like, YOU LOT BLOODY MISSED THE POINT. HAHAHA RIDICULOUS! Didnt know such ppl actually existed! BUT no.. doesnt matter whats said now, you all are just to THICK to realise how immature you all are.
If I said its wrong to be opinionated.. would I be game enough to share mine in the first place? If you ask me, I'm more game than you, knowing you would get your crusty panties in a knot, I STILL SAID IT! XIAXUE HAS GOT A BALLOON HEAD!

2) You are self-conceited
3) You have a vagina the size of an ocean
4) You are a slut
5) You are a looser (she means loser I suppose)
6) You are (to??) thick. A little fat around the waist I take it as.
7) You are immature
8) You have a crusty panty
9) You have a balloon head. (sounds quite cute actually I like it)
XIAXUE:
This is what I wrote in reply:
stupid BabyCin?? I have to use that adjective I'm sorry. No wait I'm not sorry. Nobody was even speaking about you, so shut up. I wrote this article (Taxi Drivers) long before I read ur blog entry. And, learn to speak English first yeah?
Plus one more thing, I couldn't be bothered to correct you on this. But I shall or u will keep yakking and yakking.
I didn't say I didn't like you speaking your opinions. I like the fact that you said that you felt, although its weaved with false goodwill. What I did, was merely to counter your arguments. See? The two are not mutually exclusive? *snaps fingers*
I hardly think you get what I'm saying, but never mind.
And my goodness. What atrocious English.
*****
1) You are stupid.
2) Your English sucks.
Things Xiaxue did to deserve it: 0
It is pretty obvious. But people still side her (i'm talking about the dreamdate people), coz I have many supporters and it seems like a big bully over her.
Well, its not my fault that she doesn't have her own comments link for her readers to support her. Its not my fault that my readers support me. Yes, my blogders may have said some mean things about her but thats their opinion, not mine. They are entitled to what they want to think, I can't stop them.
The obvious smart thing to do now would be to apologize, but that will prove Babycin right that I'm a hypocrite. I don't like Babycin much, and I don't see the need to force myself to make friends. Its condesending for both of us.
But I wanna stop this, coz its no longer funny if this affects my friendship with the rest of the contestants.
*peace*
If we see each other on the cruise, then you can laugh at my height. As for me, I'll just eat my lobsters. I hope there's lobsters. Oh gosh I love lobsters.
*****
Any other contestant not happy with me? You guys can trash it out you know. I thought we were fine. I did try to maintain a good relationship with you all.
If there's anything anyone wants to say, please leave a comment.

I never said you were NOT NICE...(she did say I am nasty) I said YOU GOT AN ATTITUDE!
Clear enuff?
Whats it to do wid my preposal? Your a perfect example...

Lastly, if I were talking behind ur back...it wouldn be in my blog for everyone, INCLUDING u to see! and I would have concealed your name! DUH! (Nobody was talking about you talking behind my back. Don't understand English?!)

Lets have a moment of silence people.

SIAO.

Spicy Saga Part I
See I don't understand.
Why there are serious people on earth? Serious people IRK me.
But of course. Can you imagine if there are no serious people, the BBC would turn into a channel with the newcasters dressed like chickens to amuse. Which would be nice actually, but thats not my point.
I have wrote this time and again in my original blog (Have you seen it yet? No? Then don't, coz its down at the moment) about people who take me seriously when I am so obviously kidding.
Eg when I say: "I RULE" I don't really mean it. Alrightly just a little bit. But since this entry is for serious people I shall not kid.
When I say "I rule" I don't mean it. It is meant to be funny. I can't help you if you don't get it.
People say I am nasty. Well thats bullshitty. My friends know I'm a nice girl! I am filial to my parents. I don't beat people up. I give up seats to the elderly. I you were blind I would help you cross the road. I am polite and friendly should you ever get the chance to speak to me.
In the cyberworld I write in a manner which I deem is interesting. True enough, I'm about the frank-est person you would ever meet but so? Can't you take the truth? Would you rather I be patronising you? DUH? I may hurt some people sometimes but guess what? I'll rather do that than talk behind people's backs of course.
See Maddox. He may seem like a freaking bastard, let me change that, freaking funny bastard, but guess what? maybe he is nursing his baby dog back to health or smooching his roses as he lovingly sprinkles fertiliser. My point is, don't take the internet seriously. Everyone can bullshit here.
Yes Miss Baby Cinnamon, this entry is meant for you.
Sure took me long enough to read your blog.
And here are my responses, in bold. I'm not really sorry if it offends you, coz I just speak my mind. You should too, instead of dodging here and there. I don't get what you mean at the best of times.

(Quoted)
3. Whats going thru some of these peoples head? Ok... this is nothing really but just kinda weird to me. Dont think she would ever read this...but maybe some one could pass the message, as it comes in peace ;)
TO sum up all my proposals....I believe some one has got what it takes, after reading her blog.
Yeah thanks but what has my blog got to do with your proposals?
If there is one thing I am sure of, it is that to learn to love someone, and I mean to really love someone, you have to love your self first.
Uh huh...
Now...whats this got to do with this particular girl?
I'm wondering too.
Well yes, she seems to have the right ingredients.... but... do you have to be so nasty? ( if you read this)
Right ingredients for what? Your proposals?
Give me valid examples to show that I am nasty, babe. Don't just blabber. In fact I think I'm quite nice. I gave a piece of my nice fish fillet to my brother.
Yes your a good writer, yes you are pretty too....and to top it all of, you sure got confidence in your self. Thats all good, but dont you ever sit back and look at yourself?
Why do people say cliches like "sit back and look at yourself"? Why not just look at myself? I'm not far sighted why must I sit back? But thats not the point. The point is, I looked at myself already. What do I do next?
Well I donno what others think....everyone has they're own way of thinking, or are people to afraid to say out what they think?
What has this got to do with me? Are you saying that people don't like me but they are afraid to say it? They must be so scared I beat them up then. With my incredibly long legs.
> Or is it like in school where sometimes its just easier to sit with the popular kids than the nerds?
What are you talking about? Quit mumbling and organise your thoughts into logical points. In case this is what I think you are saying, in my secondary school everyone is a nerd so yeah I do sit with the nerds. I love nerds. Actually, to be exact I just have this thing for computer hackers. WTF is wrong with me?!
As I said, Its good to be confident, but really, it starts to get ugly when that streak of confidence gets a lil too confident!
If you can't tell I'm kidding most of the time I shall let you continue being deluded.
Really girl, I like many others think you can get far.... dunno...maybe writing, or acting??
You don't have to say nice things to go with your complains so it seems you are a nice girl you know. If you have an opinion, be proud of it and say it.
I donno you...but I know you got some talent.... anyways, as i was saying....i too believe you can go far....but how far can you get with an attitude like that?
There is nothing wrong with my attitude. Once again, give me valid examples.
About me getting far... Hmmm... Not too bad currently. Check out my friendster page (its in Very Interesting Links (THEY RULE!)) to see what others think.
If you ask me how far I would go, I would shamelessly tell you this: Much further than people who have "nice" attitudes.
*****
There you go, peeps. I have said this many times, and I shall say it again. When you have people loving you, there would be people who hate you. When you die, its better to be hatefully remembered by some, than forgotten by all.
Thats why I shall the way I am. I'm being frank and truthful, but if people view it as a bad attitude, then I can say this: Fcuk off. Which actually proves them right that I have a bad attitude, but do I care?
Say this in a delighted voice after me: NOooooooo
I like the way I am now. I don't see whats wrong with my attitude, and thats not because I am being obstinate. People who try to put me down do not give me logical and valid arguments to why I should change. I would listen, if they manage to convince me with good reason.
Meanwhile, for Cinnamon Baby, I would like to say that you don't have to be so polite speaking to me, because I am not the kind who would patronise and be nice back if I got nothing nice to say...
Hmmm and I don't understand what my attitude's got to do with you. Don't even get me started on the Duh-when-you-are-twenty-you-are-no-longer-a-freaking-baby
-so-stop-kidding-yourself-and-acting-cute thing. I didn't do that, coz whatever you write in you blog is your business. Until you wrote about me of course. Dah. Wrong move.
I know you don't wanna be seen as a bad girl (oh no no, anything but that, no!), but I hope we can clear the air on this. Just speak your mind. I don't care. And I am not petty.
If you think I suck, just tell me. Doesn't matter, I still think I rule.
KIDDING.
Singtel blog competition, dated 14 March 2004
This taxi driver pissed me off.
Me: Uncle can you go faster please I need to reach school in five minutes for my exam, if not I will miss it then jia lat already!
Uncle: You teenagers. Always like that. Irresponsible. You know got exam, still sleep until so late for what, huh? Then if you miss the exam don't blame people ok! Faster faster... I how fast also cannot reach in 5 mins.
Me: (thinks) Just shut the fcuk up and drive, fcuker.
(says) Well its because got exam thats why sleep late to study and then wake up late lor.
Uncle: Yeah then should start studying earlier and sleep early what?! So irresponsible! In the end miss the exam serve them right.
Me: Uncle you siao is it? Without people being late you think you got money to earn is it?!
Uncle: You say until like that I got nothing to say lor.
Me: True what.
Uncle: *stunned silence*
He continued the drive with a really black face.

Stupid middle-aged uncles. They think they rule the world. Which they actually do but thats just a realy small handful.
Its not their fault. Its the stupid girls in Singapore's fault. Females have been taught to keep quiet about injustice, tolerate and admit its their fault when people scold them, etc.
It is one thing to be taught to behave this way, and another to actually listen to it. It is stupidity to blindly believe.
Everyone should stand up for what is fair and just, correct?
I used to behave in this matter. I used to think tolerance would solve matters, and people should all be kind and nice.
Oh grow up. The world doesn't work that way. If you don't stand up for yourself, no one will.
I got molested one time too many, and decided that I will let no one intimidate me ever again. Bloody Bangalas. If they dare to touch me again, they will see what will happen to them. I will make sure they will never set foot in Singapore to touch our country's girls again. And their dciks will get severed in an industrial "accident".
Let me give you examples of why you should ALWAYS stand up for yourself.
1) That day I was at MacDonalds (I did not see Ronald Macdonald there, in case you are wondering. Refer to last entry) at Boat Quay.
I was in a hurry, and ordered some McNuggets to be taken away. $3 for 6 pieces.
It was horrible.
The exterior crust is supposed to be crispy and golden brown, but this one tastes like cardboard. It was hard and burnt. Gross.
The flesh is supposed to be juicy and somewhat crunchy... This one tastes like overcooked dry breast meat. The meat is supposed to stick to the crust of the nugget correct? But in this case, the meat was so dry that it somehow managed to be separated from the skin, like the embroyo of an egg, with a space in between.
I was traumatized. I have left Macs and I am very hungry!! I ate a piece and was comtemplating going back for an exchange. At this point of time, Eileen arrived.
"Oei the nugget taste like shit."
"Is it? Let me try."
With this, Eileen took a bite out of the nugget, mumbled something like "Its a bit hard lar" and finished one whole piece anyway.
So now I'm left with 4 pieces.
I decided to go back for an exchange. Shall not waste my 3 bucks on cardboard chicken.
Me, to counter girl: "Hey, your nuggets suck."
Cashier: "I'll change it for you."
Manager: "Whats the matter?"
Me: "Oh nothing important, just that the nuggets tasted really dry."
Manager: "Is it? I'm so sorry mam... We'll change it for you... Why don't you get your drink first?"
Me: "I didn't order a drink, I was in a hurry."
Manager: "Oh no no, its on the house don't worry!"
Me: "Oh you shouldn't have!"
Manager: "Its alright! We'll send your nuggets to you in a short while! Why don't you take a seat first?"
And I did. After a while, I was served the best nuggets in the world (all six pieces of them), accompanied by my free coke.
2) Ardent blog readers might already know this. My maid, while being in the lift with my brother, was molested by a bangala (what else can they do? Huh? Filthy hands built our houses). The bangala grabbed her hand, and tried to get fresh.
My brother, filled with angst (he was actually crying!), told me what happened and wanted to beat the bangala up.
My maid tried to pacify him and told him to let the matter go.
YEAH RIGHT LET THE MATTER GO AND LET HIM MOLEST MORE PEOPLE?! The next time it would be rape can?!
If the fcuking bangala thinks he can get away with it he is wrong. Coz he molested the wrong maid. Da gou ye yao kan zhu ren remember?
After a hurried changed of clothes and a visit to the police station, the molester was arrested. You can applause right now if you wanna.
He was sobbing in the handcuffs and begged me to let him off. The police just sneered at him. I gave him the "Why don't you suck my c*** instead" look.
His manager was called to the station and he was reprimanded in front of everyone. How cool is that?!
There are more examples of why we should stand up for ourselves (and others if they cannot do it themselves) besides free cokes and crying molesters, but I shall not bore you.
I digress.
Anyway, because of the way SG's females behave (besides ah lians of course, else the uncle surely kanna poked by a pointed comb), stupid middle-aged uncles think we can be bullied.
YEAH BULLY ME WILL YOU? YOU SEE WHAT YOU GET!
I don't care if he is elder. I respect him, but I AM STILL THE CUSTOMER HELLO! I'm paying to be driven to my destination, not to listen to him talk nonsense. Doh.
The day ended with me failing the exam despite me reaching there on time. How saddening.
