MI National Day Celebration

A very disappointing one as compared to last year. Last year's seems so much fun and unity among our old classmates, with air of patriotism floating in the air during the sing-along session, though i would not comment on the watching of the Singapore Gala or Gaga or whatever! This year programmes arranged by MI was so dead and dull, comparable to attending a church funeral!

Maybe it was because as what Chu Ting suggested, the incompetent and crappy new NE council, or maybe its because of this year's classmates or because of the screening of the The Invisible City, which was as bad as the Singapore Gaga, that spoilt everything. Whatever. I really couldn't see the purpose of the screening of those long but monotonous documentary! Boring sia...

After the celebrations, Jolene and i bolted out of school to go cineleisure to watch Jay Chou's new film, Secret. It turned out pretty nice! Better than what i had expected. The plot took a turn into a new direction after the first part. Very smart move made! It was indeed a pleasant surprise for me! I loved the second part!!! From a seemingly teen melodrama to a travel to past/ future time concept movie.

I find that when the movie involved in the time travelling concept is always so romantic! Not those very passionate kind of romance, but more of the aesthetic, floaty and dreamy feeling, though sometimes i was not able to get the whole picture.

I was lured to watch Secret by the soundtrack in the trailers and yea, all the soundtracks in the movie was needless to say, superb! I wouldn't even mind purchasing the CD for all the movie soundtracks! Highly recommended to people like Erika, who likes this kind of time travelling movie. It's worth the money!

After watching, went to eat Sakae Sushi buffet with Chu Ting, Jasmine, Jolene and Valerie. Yeah, i did claimed in previous post that i did not really enjoy sakae as much as ichiban nowadays, but sigh~ haha the budget purpose to students! lol! Have a great time there eating, chatting, cracking jokes and even taking some pictures!! (haven really master the art of using digit-cam, didn't take much photos)

Chuting & Me!!



After sushi, Chu Ting and i went to the Presbyterian High School Charitable Carnival. The standard of the carnival was alright, quite a good attempt made for high schoolers to orgnaise a carnival. Both of us bought some food and a pair of earrings, which were 100% self-made by the teachers from the $10 carnival tickets.

There were also areas for improvement especially the food. Like the MI carnival our school had last year, there was not much variety. It was also very stuffy inside the campus as i can't even feel a flap of wind passing, even though the campus was considered relatively large for secondary schools. The condition was further aggravate since this was a carnival and there were more and more people coming in.

Going to the carnival was quite an eye-opener as it made me pondered about MI last year's carnival. I felt quite ashamed about it. A carnival organise by secondary schools seemed more successful than ours! This was so sia shuay, so paiseh man! We were of tertiary level and yet we could not do a beter job than them! What does this mean??? They even have parents support group there to set up store to contribute in the carnival!!

Haha! It seems to me that my own programmes to celebrate national day is far more exciting than the school's one, maybe they should just ask me to organise. Hhahahahaha!!! Er, come to think of better not, i don't fancy myself slaving and doing all these shit jobs for the school. Haha! Hopefully, my buffet have been converted into energy instead of fat for 3 hours of standing and walking around the fair. LOL!!!

Random of Thoughts

A few days ago, i have received a sms invitation from a gyss ex-classmate of mine to her bbq session to celebrate her upcoming birthday. Instead of smiling to myself for clinching an invitation, I was rather puzzled by her gesture. It has been almost 2 full years since we last spoke to each other. Many thoughts and recollections have once against erupted in my mind.

There were a couple of unhappy incidences...

When the people whom you regard as good friends act like a bunch of jerkass, completely forgetting your existence in the world, is just like receiving jaw-jarring slaps across your face.

If its really truly your friend, they will treat you with the basic respect!

I don't believe in "forgive and forget" theory to a large extent. Hey, that's not because i m being petty, narrow-minded or unmagnanimous, i think that if you really can forgive and forget that easily and coolly, taking it at your stride, it must be something that is not of much significance.

I strongly believe that i can do without them, and for sure, i deserve better!

Ok, back to present. Regarding to the invitation, i am really dubious about the sincerity and the motive. I am not trying to be a bitch or cynic or whatever, but it's just logical, plainly-being we were merely strangers. I just felt so distant from them. They are the past, and i have no wish to reminisce the past...

SBS Transit

Shit man! i am late for school again! Damn! Screw that SBS Transit!!! Guess what? The stupid bus 157 break down right after njc, in the middle of the road, half way through before reaching MI! Super duper pissed off man! 妈的!好不来, 晚不来, 这个时候跟我来个机械故障,公车竟然在公路上抛锚了! 真是气死我啦!!!

Another thing to comment about this SBS Transit, have ur ever noticed that most of the SBS Transit drivers were really super kiasi that they thought they will crash into something that they always drive until damn so bloody slow, with pace that seems like a tortise crawling!

Secondly, i would also like to add on that whenever the traffic light was going to turn from green to red, the drivers will purposely slow down and wait for it to turn red before stopping a smooth halt instead of gunning forward to avoid the waiting!

Thirdly, a piece of advice to everyone, if you are running late to your destination, DO NOT take those double-deckers bus provided by the SBS Transit. This is because:

  • As mentioned in the previous paragraph, trust me, u will be having a hard time sitting still and comfortably as you will surely be cursing and swearing at the driver under your breath because it also seems to be the only way to vent our frustations to make yourself feels slightly better.

  • Due to the density and size of double-decker bus, which looks rather bulky and seems really clumsy, the speed is halved times of single deck! Think about it, if the single-deck bus is already travelling at such a slow tu-tu tortise speed, aren't the double deck going to travelled at a speed of a ...ermm..snail?

  • The smell of the bus available in plentiful quantity in both decks, can be descibed as a pool of fresh urine. Try taking the double deck bus 143 from toa payoh interchange in the morning at about 6:30 am, and you will get your first hand of experience!
