STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY.

This shall be my last entry for the hols. I still have stacks of notes yet to be completed. Notes which needs certain amount of grammar deciphering. I always get very disturbed when I see bad grammar (esp econs notes). Then I won't be able to study properly.

Despite my gripe about how my schedule was ruined, everything turned out fine. I guess I shouldn't have worried so much about how it would turn out to be cos it happened to be a pretty ok session. Not as scary as I thought. At least we worked out the basics.

A PRAYING MANTIS DOESN'T MEASURE ANGLES TO CAPTURE INSECTS. I thought it only remains stationary (that's why it looks like it's praying) and catches insects near it. But in any case I'M NOT A PRAYING MANTIS. I AM MEI LI CONG MING NV REN. You irritate me again (which includes calling me false names like praying mantis) you can forget about people cheering you up when you are sad/having PMS or whatever weird thing you have there.

A wasted trip to Singapore Badminton Hall today. My brother won the match cos his opponent from TCHS never appeared aka walkover. So I didn't get to see him in action at all. My brother is very weird. He doesn't want us to go support him during the match. So my mum and I couldn't let him know we were watching him and had to resort to hiding behind pillars which makes no sense since you won't be able to see a single shit. But still, he won, albeit in a not-so-victorious way.

Last night this guy shouted "GOAL!" in my block. I assumed he was watching World Cup. But the weird thing was he shouted very regularly, like his shouts were only a few minutes apart. Either the team he supports is very strong (I assume it's Argentina cos Argentina won the match) or he's like the guy who shouted "**** *** ***" in the middle of the night in AMK, scaring Mr Humji OJM.

The day before I heard this group of kids shouting "Tuo1 diao4!" in my block for a very very very long time. It was so loud it woke me up from my nap.

Living in a HDB flat can be one-of-a-kind experience.

My room is so bloody messy I can't even find one stupid piece of wire.

I had my schedule planned out for the entire week and now it's ruined. Not to mention I'm behind schedule.

My parents are taking things way too easy.

I hate exams I hate studying like shit for subjects which I know will have no relevance in my future job whatsoever (imagine reciting kong que for your employer, or balancing chemical equations to get a job).

I hate it when things go all wrong at the last minute.

I can't wait for As to be over. I'll burn my entry proof, notes, tutorials etc etc. Best still I may burn the bloody school down.

I don't see why we have to study Keynesian, Classical, Monetarists or whatever thing they have it only makes us suffer more.

Why do we have to learn Trigo and memorise a whole bunch of stupid equations. Why do we have to learn how to find angles between planes.

Why do I have to memorise n pages of kong que, which is nothing but a spinoff from Romeo and Juliet.

I'm an angsty teen today. Maybe my menses are coming.

/Edit: Channel U is only showing Goong in Oct! Arghhhhhh! And their trailers say they are going to show Goong soon! How can 4 months be soon??! 4 full months is not soon! RAH. How to watch when the bloody As will be so near the date? AHHHHHHHH!

2 more weeks before I meet my doom.

I finally got to watch Spirited Away properly on Friday! The other time when I watched it was during Literary Evening and it was horrendous. We couldn't hear a single thing and we were sitting so far away from the bloody screen. I remember asking alot of stupid questions and Warren still tried to explain the storyline to me very patiently.

Anyhow, it's a good movie with pretty visuals and impressive sounds. The TV station should show movies like this instead of those boring Hong Kong gangster movies where everyone shoots everyone and everyone dies in the end.

I broke my slipper while playing with my brother in a supermarket. Boo. Ripples here I come!

I think RI guys are very fortunate. Their school actually bought the cable tv thing and a big TV screen so the students and their family members can go to the school to watch World Cup. See? This is how the school's money should be spent. To increase the students' welfare, instead of wasting money to build new office building, research centre or whatnots.

Wls is using the messaging system so happily and extensively that it comes to the point of being highly irritating. I receive more messages from the bloody system than anyone else. From the logging in of website to the donation of balls and games. Free one also no need to like that what. I wonder what will happen if we replied and scolded Wls.

I wonder why the TV station here cannot produce dramas as good as Taiwan's, Korea's or Japan's. In every local drama, there will always be violence or adultery (or both), some complex love problems, yada yada. The plot hardly ever changes and we always see the same old faces. Nowadays, I keep seeing 陈志财 everywhere on TV. I don't have anything against him, but seeing an old face everytime is very sian. It's like eating the canteen food.

Do you realise that local sitcoms have this very irritating habit? Whenever the characters make a faltering effort in cracking jokes or making puns, they never fail to play that absolutely fake-sounding audience laughing sound. And the thing is, the jokes are never funny. They have been playing the stupid laughing sound for so many years, for every local sitcom, you can even anticipate when they will play the laughing sound. Maybe the producers know that people watching the sitcoms will not laugh at their mediocre jokes so they have no choice but to play the dumb sound so at least there wouldn't be any 冷场.

Channel U used to make very entertaining and creative variety shows, until Mediacorp took over.

After A levels, I shall work and earn some money and buy the cable tv to spare myself from torturous local TV dramas.

I really wonder why on earth is KBOX awarded with the Superbrand Status. Is it because it charges the titbits $5+++ per bowl? Is it because it has substandard toilets where the doors can't be closed and the toilet bowls can't be flushed? Is it because the aircons are so bloody cold they threaten to freeze people to death? Or is it because it wants to exercise monopoly so much that it threatens to confiscate any outside food and drinks (read:Willy's bottle)? Or is it because it prints its prices at such a cleverly subtle way that customers have to pay much more and not have the right to complain?

Minsee, Willy and I paid around $16 each for 4 hours on a weekday. I've never paid so much for KBOX before honestly. And the satisfaction I got wasn't even worth $16. So bloody expensive.

Firstly it was so cold we were shivering in the room. It's not like we sang 北极雪 or something you know. And my hotness certainly did not help improve matters. Maybe they make the room cold on purpose so you will get so cold to the extent that you need to buy hot drinks from them. Then they earn more money.

Secondly their toilets suck big time. Their toilets are either littered with cigarette butts, filled with smoking people who stink up the entire toilet, have faulty toilet bowls or have doors that can't be locked. Contrary to their relatively beautiful shop fronts, their toilets look exactly like the ideal setting for horror movies. If they have the money to build those showcases and shop fronts, why can't they do something about the toilets? Superbrand status so what? Their toilets so do not fit the "Superbrand Status". People singing at KBOX always need to pee alot and this is the kind of toilet we're going to get?

The thing about their stupid titbits. One miserable bowl of titbits already costs $5+++! How on earth is that stupid bowl of titbits worth $5+++? They are not even titbits, they are NUTS. Go NTUC buy one big packet of nuts only costs $2 plus lah. That one stupid bowl of nuts is not even worth 50 cents and they have the audacity to charge $5+++ per bowl! So what if they have free refills? Can you imagine how many bowls of nuts you have to eat to make your money worthwhile? That's nuts.

Providing us with nuts gives them yet another chance to earn money. Singing+eating nuts=dry throat=thirsty. When we are thirsty what do we do? Order drinks from them. And how much is one glass of drink? $6. $6 leh!!! I can buy 5 cans of drinks from kopitiams. 5 cans you know? Plus you can recycle the cans and do a part for the environment.

KBOX exercises monopoly like anything. What happens to our consumer welfare? I think we even have negative consumer surplus. Consumer shortage. It refuses outside food and drinks, which incidentally include water bottles. WATER BOTTLES. I never knew our belongings are under the outside drinks category. Plus their food are not great or anything, yet they charge such expensive prices for ala carte. In any case you'll realise they have mostly fried food for ala carte. Low costs, yet they earn much more since people will be thirsty after eating them. If you don't want people to bring outside food and drinks, then why charge customers such high prices? Exploiting us. Charging high prices only make people want to bring outside food and drinks MORE. Don't they know the rebellious nature of people? The more you don't want them to do something, the more they want to do it.

And I hate it when they put up relatively reasonable prices for singing sessions with an infinite number of + behind the numbers. Sure, they remind us of the service tax and whatever nonsense they have that we have to pay but naturally you wouldn't expect yourself to pay that much an amount. It's damn irritating. And is there any quality service to speak of? Sucky toilets, expensive food and drinks and employees coming in practically every second to chase you out of the room when the time is up and insisting that you pay there and then. Grr.

So how is my $16 well-spent? I don't even get the equal amount of satisfaction in return. And it doesn't help when some stupid person reminded you that he only paid $3 for pool and that the amount you spent in KBOX can be used to buy a pizza at Pastamania.

RAH RAH RAH.

I am irritated with myself cos I haven't been doing anything really constructive for my revision and now the first week of hols is nearly over :( And it doesn't help when your mind keeps reminding you to watch Goong every night.

Speaking of Goong, I think I watched too much of it already so much so that I actually dreamt of the people in Goong can you believe it. Like yesterday I dreamt of Yul(!!!!) who had a daughter with this Indian woman(GOST!!!) and this daughter of his actually had an incestuous crush on him (double !!!). Walao can really die.

I went to a Thai restaurant today and was looking through the menu when I saw the word "Goong". My eyes literally lit up! Oh man oh man oh man.

My little brother did a very embarrassing thing today that earned himself relentless strangling from me(at a shopping centre swarming with tons of people yes) and the worse thing was he didn't know what the heck did he do wrong. I cannot bring myself to explain to him cos his pretty sis very paisei. In any case I thought he would have learnt it from his sec 2 Science textbook chapters 5 and 6 (I still remember not bad hor!) but maybe his teacher hasn't come to that yet.

Speaking of the 2 faithful chapters I remember the time when we were in sec 2 we had to take this Science test on these 2 faithful chapters. One question asked how long is one menstrual period and Shaun answered 28 days. All of us laughed like anything and joked that if that was really the case girls will be bankrupt from buying infinite number of pads and die from excessive loss of blood. We even gave him a pad for his birthday and got scolded by Mrs Raj when she saw the pad being thrown around the class.

Study study study study study.

I think I sprained my back while sleeping or something cos it's been hurting for the past few days. Boo :(

Shit I really can't stop watching Goong oh no! Especially when BT2 is at stake. No no no no no...

Introducing Yul!

He's 26 this year (very shocking cos he looks younger than Shin who is actually younger than him) and his real name is Kim Jung Hoon. He's currently my favourite guy in Goong cos he's so poor thing lah! Whenever I see his sad face I'll feel very sad as well. You just cannot help but want to comfort him. Plus he's shuai. Shuai-er than Shin in my opinion. Though in the later part of the show he'll become bad but that's in the later part so nvm for now. Heh. And he's very nice to Chaegyung! He made sushi for her lah. So sweet. I also want.

Sohsookleecangoflykite: Your Shin smokes one leh! Don't like people who smoke. Minus impression points.

I had a very very very weird dream last night. I dreamt that I dio CS for some weird reason.

In my dream, I was given this sheet of paper which stated the no. of times I was late, when I was late (the date, time and everything) etc etc. The paper said that if you are late 3 times, you need to go CS. Muahahahahaha...(School's evil laughter)

I was very angry that I dio CS cos in my dream I thought I was late for school twice. So I thought the school made a mistake and I stormed off to find Doggie Li.

For another weird reason, Miss Neo was my CT in my dream. She was having lunch with her friend and she was smiling and laughing. I can still remember vaguely the conversation I had with her in my dream.

Me: Miss Neo this paper says I have to go CS.
Miss Neo(smiling): Yah.
Me: But I think the school admin made a mistake.
Miss Neo(smiling): Really? Wait. (Went to get some paper)
Me: The school admin made a mistake right?
Miss Neo(smiling and looking at the papers): Yah they did. It says here that you were late for school not 3 times, but 4 times.
*dang dang dang!!!*
Me(shocked): Huh? What? Are you sure?
Miss Neo(smiling): It says here that you were late for school not 3 times, but 4 times. See?
For yet another weird reason, the school rules in my dream were that the more times you are late for school, the more severe the punishment gets.
Me: *leaves hurriedly*

When I woke up, I told myself I cannot be late for school anymore. It seems like I even have stupid dreams. The blurring of boundaries ahhhhhh!

This is the reason that makes me guilty and deliriously happy at the same time:

I shall indulge in it for this week before doing some real serious studying. Woooo! I watched Channel U in the morning aka all their trailers for a full 45 mins but I didn't catch the Goong trailer! :( One good thing that came out though: Channel U is going to show 格斗天王! =D =D =D Soon I'll get to see Renfu :)))))
