Updates

So the most recent thing that I did and that's worth mentioning was that I went to the S-Pop Hurray's finale yesterday night. My auntie had 4 free tickets, so I went with my mom, and my uncle and auntie to the show. It's my first time to the Indoor Stadium, and they closed off like half of the stadium, as they didn't do a circular stage. Some performances were boring as hell but some were pretty good.

Li Sheng Jie's peformance was good. The performance where the guy sang "Yi Ren Yi Ban" was probably my favorite though. It sounded really good. In the end, the song "Fa Shao" won, but who really cares about it? The song wasn't that good in my opinion, and half of the people in the stadium left before the results were announced.





I've been looking at Genting websites and websites of tour agencies. Planning this trip isn't that easy. Gotta find out the hotel price, gotta check the bus coach ticket price. Why not go through a tour agency? Cuz it's a little more expensive. $113 to be exact.

If everything goes well, I'd be able to book the room including the bus coach ticket, free breakfast, and a free magic show ticket for $98. Much more worth it right??? But then there's the credit card problem... None of us has a credit card! Then there's also another problem, the $98 one has to have an even number! We're now at 5 people. Yeah, I know that the 3rd person can squeeze into a room with 2 others. But then we'll only get 4 free breakfasts and 4 magic show tickets. What will the 5th person do then???

But nonetheless, I'm still looking forward to the trip whenever it is. At least it takes my mind off of having to enter the Army.





My PES status was originally PES D as they needed to look at my medical records from CGH. For those that know me, I would get pains in my right chest area as there's something in my right lung. It's most probably a scar tissue from when I had Pneumonia when I was in the US. So anyways, at times, my right lung will just hurt for no reason and I wouldn't be able to breathe. The chances of this happening is increased when I'm running, or doing some rigorous exercise. SJ, CC, and YS, I believe you've seen me in pain before when we were rushing to get to class on time in SP.

So after reviewing my medical record, they upgraded me to PES BP. Yeah, the obese one. 4 MONTHS BMT! And when I called them to find out if they already recieved my medical report, they said that they already recieved it. And the admin guy that I was talking to said - and I quote: "Everything is fine."

I was lost for words when I heard those three damned words...

Complain Complain!

Argh! I'm so pissed off right now... I just came back from watching 2 movies. Yeah, we had a movie marathon, and one of the movies just sucked so badly that it's beyond words. First off, I saw the movie "The Chronicles of Spiderwick". That movie was actually really good. It's comedy, and suspense all wrapped up into one movie.

The movie that sucked like hell was "Rule #1". It was a waste of money, and time. So if any of you guys are planning to watch the movie, Don't.

The movie started off really good as it was scary and as much as I don't wanna say it, I was covering my eyes at certain parts of the movie. Hey! It's not like you don't know that I'm most afraid of these kinda things.


Anyways, I hated the movie and so did my friend who saw it with me. But then Chee chuan liked it, so believe whoever you wanna believe then. If you did watch it, please leave a comment as to whether you liked the movie. I just hated the story of the whole movie.












I just attended a wedding dinner on Saturday, and I had so much fun. We had fun making different types of drinks, and coming up with cool names for each of them. Lol. The funny thing is that most of us sitting at that table didn't know the couple that was getting married. Haha. I'm excused because it was my god-father's cousin (but is only like 20+) or smth. lol. But my god-cousins didn't even know as well. They didn't even know if they were relatives with the groom or bride. Anyways, the food was great, but the thing that I enjoyed the most was the company.

Things that annoy me on the train - Part 2

Pardon me for the delay in between these two posts. I've been really lazy these past couple of days, and whenever I would have a feeling to blog, I'd be too tired to do so. So, let's just carry on.



Number 10
People that listen to music really loudly

These people seem to be deaf. If I'm able to listen to the song that's playing on your ipod, then don't you think that ipod may be a little bit too loud? The worse thing is when I'm able to listen to the song that you're listening, WHILE listening to MY songs. Ear checkup maybe?



Number 9
People that lean on the poles

The poles are meant for people to hold, and not for you to lean on. The glass panels that you see when you walk in the train is meant for you to lean, but not the metal poles. I've seen inconsiderate people lean on the poles when the train is packed. The other people would have no choice but to try their hardest to balance themselves.



Number 8
People that shake their legs

Ok, so I'm sitting down, and I'm enjoying my music. Another person sits down beside me, and starts shaking his leg. Just in case you don't know, I can feel it. So what do I do? Well, I start shaking my leg too. After a while, they'll get irritated, and when they stop, I would considerately stop too.



Number 7
People that fall asleep and starts to lean towards you.

This is the thing that probably annoys me the most. The only reason why it's number 7 is because sometimes, you just can't help it. But it's so irritating when the person beside you leans closer with each stop of the station. I remember once I purposely jerked my leg just to wake the person beside me up. In another scenario, I saw a guy falling asleep, and the girl beside him kept staring as if he did it on purpose. She probably thought that he did it purposely just to get close to her.



Number 6
People that talk really loudly on the phone

This usually occurs when the elderly receives a phone call. They practically scream into the phone. I could even hear it WHILE listening to my Ipod. I then later turned it on louder that I probably became the irritating one in Number 10.



Number 5
People that play music on their phones

They probably think that they're so cool because their phones can play music. Well, News Flash: So can mine, and the person beside me probably can too. In fact, more than half of the people on the train probably owns a phone that can do that. So stop acting cool, and turn the damn phone off. Or at least, play some NICE music.



Number 4
Kids that run amuck

You know those super energetic kids that scream and shout upon entering the train? Well, then afterwards they run around the poles and chase after one another. I'm so irritated by them that I just wanna stick my feet out when they run past me. Call me mean, but it's just SO annoying! Maybe it's because i'm not all that good with kids, but I think that they should be brought to the zoo or something. Let them run around that zoo. They'll be too tired to even talk when they're on their way back home. I'm happy, I'm sure the kids are happy that they could run, and the parents get a break. Everyone's happy...



Number 3
People that places their bags on the chair

What the hell is your problem? Put the bag on your lap, or put it on the ground. Why are you placing them on the chair that is meant for a person's ass? Did your bag pay for a MRT ticket? Are you being charged double? I bet the answer to those questions was no and no. So put the bag or groceries on the ground.


Number 2
Aunties that Rush for seats

The door opens, then you see a bunch of aunties that seem to be taking the shuttle run in the NAPFA test. They come in, their eyes scan the horizon, and they run towards the prey. In this case, the prey is the empty seat. Just 3 days ago, the door opened, and this auntie came lunging forward. She scanned the horizon once again, but there just wasn't any empty seats. What did you expect? You boarded the train at Bugis! After seeing that there weren't any seats, she had to end it with the "Tsk" sound. So Typical.

It was also this day when I saw a woman who boarded the train at Tanah Merah. She stood at the door and her luggage was on the floor while she carried a small little bag. As soon as someone stood up, I saw a small little boy heading towards the seat. But he was cut off as this auntie ran towards the seat as if there was a 50 dollar bill. She ran to the seat, placed her small little bag on the seat to "reserve" it, and then went back to her luggage and dragged it across. If she had to carry the luggage then alright, you probably need the seat. But the luggage was on the ground. Couldn't you have the little boy take the seat?



Number 1
People that dig their nose

If you wanna do so, please do it discretely, while using a tissue. But most uncles, you know, the ones with the super long pinky fingernails do so openly. They dig and dig and then after doing so, they flick whatever "treasure" they found which is utterly DISGUSTING. This should be a crime!








So there it is, the top 15 things that annoy the hell out of me when I'm on the train.

Things that annoy me on the train - Part 1

Alright guys, in an attempt to revive my dying my blog, I've decided to inform you guys on the things that people do on the train that annoys me. As most of you know, I live in Pasir Ris and study in Dover. I've spent... a total of 637.5 hours of my last 3 years of my life on the train. That's a total of 26.5 days. Most of the days, I'm able to tune into my own world with my Ipod and pretend that I'm a billionaire during the 45 minutes. However, on days that I forget my Ipod, every little thing that people do can get on my nerves. And here's a list of them, all 15 of them:




Number 15:
Aunties and Uncles that expect you to stand up no matter what.

- OK, I might sound like an inconsiderate prick by saying that, but there are times when we young people really need the seats too. But some older folks come in through the door, walk right in front of you, and stare at you waiting for you to stand up. I'm not even sitting under the sign which states to give up my seat in such cases. And for those that don't know, the sign says: "Please give this seat up to those who may need it more than you do." Who's to say that I don't need the seat? What if I just ran a marathon and my legs were numb at that moment? (Although we all know that me running a marathon is an impossible thing) But what if I went crazy that day and ran a marathon?


Number 14:
People that read newspapers

-Besides watching loads of people snatching the Free Today newspapers given out in the morning, you'll have to be in the train full of people reading them. I don't feel that there's anything wrong with reading the newspapers on the train, but don't you think reading them when everyone is packed into the train during the morning rush hours is inconsiderate? The worse thing is when you're standing right beside them and the newspapers start tickling your arms. It just makes you wanna rip off the corner of that newspaper.



Number 13:
People that carry huge bags and places them on their lap

- Does it take a genius to figure out that if the length of the bag is longer than the width of their two fat thighs, it would be wise to just put the bag on the ground? There was one girl who was carrying a huge bag and tried to fit it onto her two skinny thighs. She was dumb enough to not realize that the bag was resting on one of my thighs. Skinny so what? No brains...



Number 12:
People that sit with their legs wide open, including girls.

- Your balls got that big meh? Keep your legs closed so that the others also have some leg space lah. There have been several times where I'd witness girls wearing short skirts sitting with their legs open, and it's not really an appealing sight. But of course, it turns on some guys, well, Old men rather. They'd keep looking as if they were waiting for the golden egg to pop out.



Number 11:
People that take off their shoes

- If the shoe was that uncomfortable, then why buy them in the first place? It obviously wasn't that good looking as you would then place your feet over the shoes squishing the design and the shape of the shoe into that of a slipper. Am I the ONLY one the think that it's a little bit unhygienic or inappropriate for someone to remove their shoes? It could just be me as I have something against feet.





The top 10 will only be posted tomorrow. Haha... I'm tired right now as it's 5:45 am. And I gotta meet up with Suraj tmr. Yeah, I gotta board the train. Guess it's good I have my Ipod!

Sleep Disorder

I think I have a sleeping disorder. I sleep 12 hours a day, and I still feel dead tired when I wake up. When I lay my head on the pillow to sleep at night, I'm so tired, but I can't fall asleep. I rolled around in bed yesterday for about 4 hours before I finally slept at 8:30am. I slept when the sun was rising, and I'm awake when the sun is about to set. This has gotta change...

Two days ago, I met up with Wan Ying, my kindergarten and my primary school friend, who also happens to share the same birthday with me. We went to watch a movie at Cineleisure, spent about 2 hours at the board game store at Takashimaya. Lol.

I met up with my primary school friend yesterday for dinner. We were talking about some of our primary school classmates, and out of no where, one of our primary school classmates show up at Pasta Mania, which was where we were having our dinner. The three of us then talked about our primary school days.

Anyways, I originally planned to list down the things that people do on the MRT that annoys me. But I just got so lazy right now, so I shall post them during my next post sometime soon. Haha.

Miss Swan

How will life be like without Youtube? Without Youtube, I'd be unable to watch Surivor and America's Next Top Model whenever I miss an episode. You can find practically anything on Youtube, including Taiwanese Celebrities that can barely speak a sentence in english making fun of the way how Singaporeans speak english.

Remember the lady that was talking about the pegnant (pregnant) incident? She later claimed that she was actually making fun of her own hearing...




Right........




So anyways, I just started to watch clips of Miss Swan again, and I cannot stop laughing. I think she's absolutely hilarious.
