Press the light!

Some people really damn asking for a beating.

Yesterday I was waiting at the traffic light and for those who know me well, I like to wait for the green man no matter what, even if there are no cars.. Even if it's just a small road, like the one I was crossing yesterday near my house.

I stand beside the button with my arms folded and I knew it was already pressed because the red light at the button was on.. A woman comes up behind me with a little boy and went, "Tsktsk, did anyone press the light?"

I ignored because I know for a fact it was already pressed.. When the green man came on I walked and she also walked, at the same time telling her son, "You know hor, you must press the light then the green man will turn green and you can cross the road."

She said it so loud that she must have been hinting at me, as if I was an ignorant twit who doesn't know how to press the light for the green man. I wouldn't be standing there so stupidly without pressing the light, would I?

Fucking rude behaviour to be telling me off indirectly like that, I'll say.

Speaking of that, THOSE specific ignorant twits also annoy me. They can stand there waiting for so long and still don't know how to press the light.. Especially when you are walking from a distance away and you see them already standing there, and when you reach the traffic light you see the light not pressed 0_0~!!!

So there.

Spices and Herbs

I want to name my *future* 2 hamsters Cayenne (as in cayenne pepper) and Paprika. Both of them will be so hot haha pun intended. And I will name my *future* dog Cilantro. And if I get more than one dog, the other(s) can be called Basil, Parsley, Tarragon, possibily Sage.. Because I don't like the sound of Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano.. Haha I'm looking at Wikipedia's list of spices and herbs.. I will have a family of hamster spices and doggy herbs! :D

Random Email

Wah, haven't been here in a month!

Just wanted to note that I was very pleasantly shocked by my ENGL329 professor, whom I thought always disliked me and picked on me..

She sent an email offering me a part time job for something to do with linguistics, which I'm guessing is her project or something..

Sadly I'm not in Vancouver now.. Or else I would gladly take the job =D Except I don't quite know what it is about anyway..

But still, she sent me an email on her own accord! How strange and surprising is that! She still remembers me and possibly has a GOOD impression of me! HAHAHA.

I will be taking her discourse class next year, so I shall harbour better thoughts and less negative thinking.. =)

Stuck-up Snobs

I don't geddit.

If I have a job that pays less than $5/hour, it's better than no job at all, right?

Some people have the cheek to sit at home every day and shake leg and ask me why don't I look for a better job that pays $5/hr or more...

So what if most of your friends have jobs that pay $6/hr? And who are you to speak when you are sitting at home and doing nothing? Good for you that you have so much money to spend without having to worry about anything.

At times like this, I think having a job is good enough already. Moreover, it's not like a permanent thing, so why think so much?

As long as there is SOME money coming in, and I have something to do with my time, I think it's good enough for now. Wait till I graduate then find a better job la!

Act-smart rich people.

EDIT: Why do you have to be an even more wet blanket?

Update on the past week

Ah, have been neglecting this spot for awhile.

I am in Singapore!

So in the past week, I have been jobhunting.

I found a job which involved taking photos for guests visiting tourist spots such as the zoo, Sentosa, etc etc, and it seemed really appealing since I was interested in picking up a DSLR..

Interview went fine, and even went for an orientation session which got us more acquainted with the camera.. And so we told her when we could start work, and meanwhile got the shoes, shorts, etc needed to start work..

And we waited and waited and waited. We told her we could start work on Sunday. So we assumed we would start on Sunday. And then end up, Saturday still never tell us. Wait till Sunday, still no call. Monday continue to wait. Until like at night finally this James person calls and asks me to come down to Sentosa tomorrow.

But it's like we waited so long and still no news (other than an offer for Jurong BP which is so far away).. No vacancy to work means we sit around shake leg?? I don't operate on a standby mode leh. So I ignored and decided to move on and find another job.

Went to apply and interview today.

Wah, this manager ar, can go become university lecturer liao lor. So long-winded and he was mumbling under his breath I had to strain my ears to try to make out what he was saying.. Rambling on and on and on about SOOOOOOOOOOO many not so relevant things..

Now I wait for phone call. Better not go around exclaiming that I have a job, just like the photo one and I jinxed it. BLEH!

Other than that, life is cramped and boring and boring.

SHOW OFF

Wah, I don't like showoffs.

Try to act smart just because you think you know it all?

I hate these kind of people.

Random dream

Finally, it's time to reveal one of my goals that I have set out to attain this year.

I never really gave it much thought before since I always thought I would never be that good.

But after Term 1, it gave me a glimmer of hope, and in Term 2, I made a target point for myself and I worked as hard as I could. Sometimes I did slack off, but other times, especially around midterms, I spend so much time on studying I even I amaze myself and people around me.

Most of the results were released a few days after April 28, the last day of exams.. But only MV's course marks were not out. He is notorious for being slow.. After an agonizing wait of seven days, I finally received an offline message from Farooq telling me the marks were out.

And a few days after that, the title is official!

I made the Dean's List! Requirement was a sessional average of 85% and mine was 87%! To be precise, 87.8%! 0.2% more and I would get a nice number of 88%!!! Arrrrgh.

But nevertheless, my GOAL of making it to the Dean's List is ACHIEVED!!!!!! =))) Super happy.
