A couple of things to blog about...

1) I love lists.
k, this was actually not one of the first few things that I was planning to blog on, but I have realised that I always like to structure things, so that they come out coherent and chunked. Also, what is known as information chunking. Occupational hazard. Also bad when it comes to writing novels, not that I am writing one, but it's just bad.

2) I am becoming increasingly intolerant and "cek ark"
I have always been a pretty easygoing person, but nowadays, I sense that it is changing. I must take note of that. Like for eg.

Incident 1: Was at Coffee Bean having a coffee with a friend. Waiter clears table. Doesn't clean it. He walks past, I ask if he can help clean it. He does a bad job. After he walks away, I take out tissue and proceeds to clean up the areas he misses, cuz there're splotches of leftover whipped cream marks on the table. While doing so, I say "wah... he fail ah.. in table cleaning" and my friend says, "don't be so mean. and don't say bad things about others." (not in those exact words, but something to that effect.  Me... hmm... thinks of other incidences where friends have said that to me.

Incident 2: Was giving two guy friends a treat at an unknown chinese restaurant, along amoy street. Before we entered, we asked, are there set meals for 3 persons, cuz we know that it's kinda difficult, since set meals serve 2/4/6/8. Waitress said yes. We went in. Another waitress serves us and tells us there are no meals for 3, and that the lady at the door was wrong. Fine. Obvious ploy to guile unknowing customers into restaurant. We ordered dishes, to go with rice. After serving tea, and 1/2 dishes, waitress comes up and say, we have no more rice. what the !@#$?? She asks if we want to order noodles instead? I pointed out that the dishes we ordered were meant to go with rice. (if you're chinese, you will know that rice dishes are saltier, more "chap")

I asked then if they could buy it from a neighbouring restaurant. I for one (always eating there) KNOW that there are at least 3 other chinese restaurant along that street. She goes to kitchen and comes back and say, no.

I was damn pissed and wanted to walk out. But guy friends convinced me to stay. we ordered noodles. Asking me to "sui bian yi dian" ... then I wanted to ask for a discount on the meal, cuz obviously we were tricked TWICE by the restaurant right? My guy friend says, "Bu yao lah!!! Bad karma. Sui Bian yi dian" So I didn't. and paid some ridiculously priced amount for a dinner, that was meant to be a happy treat, which left me feeling damn bloody pissed off...

Now, tell me, based on incident one and two, am I being too picky? Seriously? I was quite pissed at incident 2, like... really about to blow my top pissed. incident one was nothing lah. they always don't clean the tables properly, but I accept that I could have kept that remark to myself, seeing that it is a mean remark, and saying it out also doesn't solve anything, and it reflects badly on me. But incident 2, it's them being too tolerant right? We have every right to be pissed right???

Tell me I'm right!!! I cannot live knowing that I am becoming a fustrated bitch. If I am wrong, then I think I shall swallow all of other life's injustices and just take it that I am an easygoing sorta person, and I will not only NOT get pissed at these things, I will laugh them off. I can do that.

3) I am not able to graduate this year!

Arrrghh... I cannot graduate this year, cuz, the school is not offering the mandatory module that we're supposed to take as the 9th or 10th module. (we have to take 10 modules to graduate) This means that, although I am already falling behind my other classmates, cuz I only took one module this semester, they too will be unable to graduate this year. And since they're not offering special term this year, there is no way I can complete enough modules this year to graduate.  Ahh... the brilliance of the educational system here. Sabo me nvm (cuz I know I am behind due to lack of funds, which is a bopian matter), but they also sabo my other classmates, and I know that they planned and have worked hard to try and graduate by this year.

4) Upcoming IT fair.

wahaha... I wanna go take a look. But I have heard that there is a huge crowd. scary. Hate crowds. But I want to take a look at what they're selling.

5) Clean room.

I did a wipe over last weekend. Just to clear the dust. But I think, one of the tasks I have is to pack my room. It's degenerating into one big mess again. My bro and mine documents, clothes, bags, lying all over the place. add the comics that we're always throwing around.. = ONE BIG MESS.

6) finish up assignment

Have a graded report due on Monday. Time to go bug my other classmates to pass them to me... soon. Gotta compile and hand in.

7) Got me baby back

I didn't mind the fact that I loaned my baby to my bro's gf. Cuz she had immediate assignments due, etc. But I sure miss you baby!!!! :)) So glad that I can blog from home again, in bed... nua-ing.. shiok ah!!!

8) I LOVE WEEKENDS!!!

I do, I do, I really do... the doing nothing part beats anything and everything.

mebbe I will go back to bed after this blog wahahaha....
