My chem teacher is one strict lady. She is always demanding for us to know something. An example of her asking a question would be, "Blah blah blah? Quick! Are you sharp enough to know the answer? This is revision! I am going through what the lecturers already have!"

There was once half the class was asleep. But BF was especially attentive and managed to catch some interesting bits.

"Have you gotten the feel of it yet!"

"Regarding amides and amines, there'll be many more erections (she meant reactions) to come."

"We have been doing this in, out, in, out, in, out! When are you ever going to get it!"

Adri writes so well. I wish I could too.

There's always the hope that when I grow up, I can express my thoughts coherently and sensibly too.

Yesterday I went to the bak chor mee man and asked for a bowl of bak chor mee.

Me: Bu yao rou gan.

BCM Man: Zhi you Mei Zhen Xiang cai you rou gan.

Me: Oops! *embarrassed* Err...Bu yao zhu gan......

BCM Man: Bak chor mee fang rou gan hen gui ah.

Me: Orh. :$

If mr brown was the bak chor mee man, he would ask me to exprain why I say I tell him I don't want tur gwa when I never tell him I don't want tur gwa. :(

Something I got off my blog tracker:

(Chinanet Guangdong Province Network)

Guangdong, Shenzhen, China, 0 returning visits

Correct me if I'm wrong...But I thought people from China are banned from owning/viewing blogs?

Anyway, the ironic thing is that I checked that anonymouse.org website out. And according to them, it allows you to surf anonymously without revealing personal information. Hmm...Guess that didn't go too well.

Recently I just went to sell charity tickets. Obviously for the CIP hours. Even though they say that CIP hours are not counted anymore and there is no fixed number of hours, you are still expected to do it because you would certainly want more written in your testimonial.

Tell me, would anyone be so willing to stand for hours, smiling like an idiot, and watch half the Singaporeans ignore you when you ask them if they'd donate.

Even when you're standing there innocently, people shun you like you're magnets with similar poles.

There was once BF and I were standing pretty close to each other. I asked a woman with her daughter to donate, she rejected. When she continued walking, BF, not knowing that I had approached her already, went up to her and asked her to donate. And she actually pointed to my direction and said "donate already".

It's very dishearteninng when 1 out of 10 people you ask buys a $2 ticket from you. You have to face 9 people who either ignore you, lie to you, reject you, question your purpose repeatedly, before you finally meet one who buys the ticket.

Even though foreigners were the minority present, at least half of the tickets were bought by them. So obviously, approach the foreigners though it's not always they donate. They may still reject you, but probably still recognise your existence. I think only 1 Caucasian ignored me.

Unfortunately I'm not one of those who would willingly spend hours walking around town asking people to buy charity tickets for the needy. I'd rather do my part spending that few hours working and then giving a portion of my pay to the needy.

If you're one of those who rejects a person who is asking you to donate even before he finishes his sentence, stop it.

"Hi sir, would you like-" *gets waved off*

It's just rude. At least wait for the person to finish.

I also find it irritating when people give you fake smiles because...err...it's just disgusting and it's like you're patronising me. Guilty smiles are okay because it's only right to feel slightly guilty for being stingy.

Conclusion: Given the chance, I'd never do this again to get CIP hours.

My da ge is like some elder cousin to me. He's already 25. I wish he was still 18. I have no idea what is going on in his life. He doesn't know what is going on in mine either. It's like we come from different families but we're blood-related. I used to tell my friends in primary school, "I'd marry my da ge if he wasn't my da ge." I'm not sure about that anymore. We're almost strangers.

My er ge is like a classmate whom I hate interacting with. He is studying psychology now. I wonder why does he bother to understand human behaviour in detail when he can't even understand his sister roughly at all. He cares nuts about me and all he cares is proving that he is right about what he thinks to me. Arrogant.

I had siblings when I was young. If only I still do. 

Every morning my senior's dad would give me a lift to school since it's on the way. If I would to take public transport, I'd need 1 and half hours to get to school.

This morning, I was waiting for the car to come when my senior smsed me that she's not going to school today and told me to get a cab. It was 6.30am.

I waited. And waited and waited.

7 taxis passed by me within 30 minutes. 4 of them were occupied. 3 of them were empty, heading to God knows where. And those 3 just drove past me like my waving arm was of no notice to them.

Then. Surprise surprise. The moment my watch was showing 7.03am, not one, but three taxis showed up. Dude. Where'd they come from? They just miraculously appear at the same time, on the same road, and they happen to be empty! Obviously I got into one of them. My suspicions were cleared when I saw the meter showing the $2 peak hour surcharge that starts at 7am.

When I arrived at school, the meter, together with surcharge, read $11.60. I handed the driver $8 and simply said, "Tell your company that people are unhappy."

Doubt my way would work though it was worth a try. Low chances that the driver would actually feedback to Comfuck Comfort.

I hope something is done to solve this really really annoying problem. But come to think of it, what are the chances?

No-one except taxi drivers are happy about the increase in taxi fares. There has been much talk about where the taxis have disappeared to and why they only appear when surcharge meter is on.

I just read an article about a foreigner who waited as long as 1 and half hours to get a taxi 'cos he didn't know how to book one. We all know that:

-taxis pop up in abundance when midnight surcharge is on.

-taxis love the airport.

-taxis all disappear on roads so that people have to start calling to book, hence adding a booking charge of $2-$4.50.

-fewer people continue to take taxis since the increase. Well, at least they've lost their ardent fan - me.

There was one part of the article about some guy pointing out some current problems then adding, "...but of course, we should also extend peak hours charge so as to prevent people who finish work and wait till peak hour's over to get a taxi." Or something to that effect. Thing is, if your work ends at 6pm and the $2 extra charge will only be lifted after 8pm, would anyone be crazy enough to wait 2 hours till you don't have to pay that $2? Might as well take a bus or MRT home. Or maybe if you walk back home, you'd make it in 2 hours too.

Let's see. There are so many problems now. What are the solutions? Lowering taxi fares back to normal rates is out of the question because if they'd do that, they would be admitting that they've made a mistake. So, gahmen very smart. To solve the problem: increase the fare of MRT! Few months later, bus fares will increase. Like that, number of people taking taxis and MRTs will be back to equilibrium since taixs, buses, MRTs have comparable fares once again - they're all just as high.

Oh, who cares what the people think? Elections are over!
