Eww... Ewww... Freaking Ewwww...

During class break time, I'll usually go pee to release my contracted bladder. What I saw in the toilet today really irked, disgusted and pissed me. Why such a thing would happened?! I wanted to run back to the classroom and get my handphone to take a photo of it, but my blog's G-rated lah.

Girls, if you are afraid that your buttocks will get dirtied by the sitting toilet bowl, find a squatting one.
If you can't find a squatting one, find a cubicle that has loads of tissue for you to line the toilet bowl rim.
If you can't find a tissue-loaded cubicle, I really don't mind that you stand across the toilet bowl or squat on the rim. However, if you choose the latter, please have the civic mind(edness) to remove your shoes.
And by the way, please lift up the rim/lid/protective 2nd layer/whatever you call it so that you have no chance of dirtying it if people want to use it.
Last but not least, please freaking AIM. Yesh, AIM.
It is just like how we always tell the man/men in the house to lift up the rim if they wana stand and shoot their pee into the sitting toilet bowl and AIM.

Oh, in the scenario that the cubicle has tissue but you choose not to line the toilet bowl rim and still pee all over the rim, please CLEAN UP after your act.
If you think wiping your own buttocks after shitting is an ok thing to do, then wipe the toilet bowl rim too! If you think it is disgusting, either you AIM or you hold your pee till you get home. Isn't it more disgusting for the cleaner to clean YOUR pee for you?!

This is not the first time I've seen this pee-all-over-toilet-bowl scenario when I'm using toilets outside of my home. And usually I tend to contribute this to mums who would bring their little boys. Since these little boys have yet to master the art of aiming, it is not really totally these little boys' fault, although I tend to grumble about why the mothers don't clean it up.
But to see this where I do not see little boys existing in the place at all, it has to be one of the ladies right?
Honestly, no one would be so out of his/her/its mind to pour chrysenthamum tea over the toilet bowl right?

All In Randomity

Warning/ Disclaimer: If you can't tahan a woman whining and ranting away, I suggest you stay off this post.

It's been raining and raining and raining. Maybe it is fate. Whenever I have to leave the house, Rajah will be at the void deck/lift lobby area greeting me. Rajah is the dog (who I talked about in this entry) who fortunately did not get poisoned to death. It would look at me and I would look at it. Then, shyly, this big fella would drop its head and walk away to avoid me. Is it scared of humans after what had happened to its friends? I don't know. But it looked damn pitiful.
On the way to meet Dear on Tuesday night, Rajah was there again. When it saw me, it quickly ran away as I approached it. When I met Dear and whined and complained to him. I suggested buying bread to feed Rajah. Dear said since he needs food at home too, he bought the bread and we went back to my void deck to look for Rajah. But it was nowhere to be found. We walked around the void deck and even to the basement. We found chicken rice, some dried pet food and a container of water. For the stray cats or Rajah, I'm not too sure. All I know was that the food looked untouched.
And definately I know poor Rajah is out there in the rain, feeling cold... If only I have my own house... Even Dear says Rajah looks damn cute! Hehe...

I can't believe it! Pizza boy is out while cannot-make-it-amazing-grace gal is still in American Idol! Although I can't stand David Hernandez too, I was hoping that between the bottom 3 for this week, Kristy would be voted off the show! But no, there was further proof that voters are simply deaf when the worst singer for this week is still in the show! ARGH! Simply infuriating!
And also, Syesha Mercado was in bottom 3! Sometimes I feel that American Idol is becoming a popularity competition rather than a talent competition. Not that I hate David Archuleta, but based on performance and since he forgot his lyrics, he should be there in the bottom 3.
I'm starting to wonder when I reach US, I'll be able to call and vote... Hmm...

When you work in a team, there are bound to be conflicts arising here and then. Without proper guidelines, we have to learn from things happening currently and build guidelines from it. Which organization does not have red tape, you tell me. We may not be a trillion/billion/million-dollar organization, but still proper channels have to be done up. This is part and parcel of life and when you go out to the working world, there are more red tapes, trust me. I just hope things will sail more smoothly...

I'm so so damn excited for the US trip. Going for the visa interview next Thursday and preparing all documentation needed now. Also have to prepare the list of things to bring, to buy, to prepare, etc...
Reminds me of one song from American Tail: "There are no cats in America, the streets are full of chhheeeeseeee".

I have requests from people whom I think I do not know asking to add me on Friendster and Facebook. Think it is time to send them a message to id themselves. Sorry if I sound rude, but I only wana add my own friends.

Americans Blind, Deaf, Stupid Or What?!

I can't help it. I need to vent my anger, sadness and disappointment. But I do agree firstly that some Americans are not like the above statement, people like my lecturers, my friends and their relatives who are Americans. I do agree that some of them do make some wise choices but then again, I'm just bewildered at the choices some others make.

Sigh... What is happening to American Idol voters in America?!?! I agree we love and support certain contestants because there's something we like about them BUT there are times I simply cannot understand "America's decision" (as per Ryan Seacrest)! I don't freaking understand why the fuck Asia'h is out while the "Amazing Grace" girl, Kristy is still in the competition!!!

Well, maybe we need a little diversity in the competition, thus, a slighty mainstream pop girl is out in place of a country girl. However, we have a country-ish Brooke already and she's so so much many times better than Kristy.
Ok, maybe we need a blonde who can sing. Brooke's blonde too what!
Well, maybe we need the babe factor. We need a chio bu in the competition to attract viewers. Hello, are you guys blind to the tiny powerhouse Ramiele?!

So, America, why did you choose Kristy in place of Asia'h?! It's so so not fair... Orh, I know lah, because Kristy's older right and need to give her a chance before she gets over-aged for the competition right? Grr...

Fucking Sick!

When I got home the other day, there were these posters plastered all over my estate; on the pillars, lift lobbys, etc... I guess the headline is quite self-explanatory. Apparently it states that SPCA's involved now. I don't freaking understand who in the right mind would do this! Damn fucking sick lor!
I've seen 2 dogs of similar build and colour running around the estate at night before and one of them is Rajah, as seen at the bottom of the poster. They only come out to roam in the night and I've never ever seen them during the day.
It was only when we saw the poster, my sister and I then realised how come Rajah has recently showed up during the day. Perhaps Rajah is looking for its friend...
The night before, it was raining. Rajah was in the rain, behind my block, drinking water off the pavement. Rajah was alone. Usually there was 2 of them... Sigh...

I'm fucking sick too. A few days before exam the week before, I wasn't already feeling very well. One day I would have a heavy head, another day a headache, then another day, my body felt lousy and weak. I knew I was gonna fall sick and so I told myself, please please, after exam.
Last week, same symptoms, with gastric as an additional one. Still, I wasn't sick.
Yesterday, finally, everything came together and I declare myself full-blown sick. Fever, vomitting, diarrhoea, heavy head, weak and lousy body, churning stomach, etc... Finally, the suffering will be gone soon... 2 weeks already too much!

Lydia Sum... China Scam Call?

My mum never buys Chinese newspapers because we don't read them. The only times she buys are when my sister or I request for them or when something she would wana TRY to read, like when I was featured on Lianhe Wanbao. When I went home yesterday, I found 2 Chinese newspapers on the dining table. Reason? Lydia Sum passed away yesterday morning.
After dinner, she kept asking if 48 (Starhub Cable TVBJ - Hong Kong channel) has anything in Lydia Sum. True enough, there was an entertainment news program and the entire episode was dedicated to her. My mum and I were watching and we both cried.
I cried because I was sad and happy at the same time. She was a strong and brave woman, bringing up her daughter almost on her own. The love she has for her daughter is really touching. When guests on the show were interviewed, they all spoke about the only worry Lydia has, and that's her daughter. They wanted Lydia to hear them and told Lydia that "all the uncles and aunties around her would carry on to protect her and take care of her" and that because Lydia had been a very good friend to so many of them, her daughter would be in safe hands.
Lydia gave her daughter everything she wanted and nurtured her daughter when she wanted to enter the entertainment scence. It was rumored that in her last few months, she had slowly transferred her assets in her daughter's name. She never gave up fighting the dreaded C. Right now, she has passed on and need no longer suffer. Sigh... Hong Kong has lost an endearing and loveable celebrity.
And hence, I declare again, I'll win this long battle with cancer. Die cancer die!!!

I was receiving these "private number" calls almost everyday since mid-January. I dare not pick them up because it was indicated on my phone as a diverted call. Whenever I see "weird" calls like that, my instant reaction would be to wonder if its a China scam call. There was even once that I got 4 missed calls in a row! One interesting thing bout this/these caller(s) was/were that no calls were made when the sun sets. Hmm...
But the calls ended about a week before my exam last Saturday. Maybe that fella gave up...

Why Is This Happening?

I'm feeling lost. It used to be so absolutely perfect. I really don't know how to begin... What's really happening?

You always say that after I have recovered, I've changed, but have you? All I know is that tempers rise much easier compared to the past. Perhaps it the stress we are facing. But somehow, why am I being blamed?

It is no one's fault and we should shake it off instead of nit picking the factors of what's happening and finding who to the blame for it. I have always been blur, stupid, dumb and slow and you know it. Control, curb, cool down, relax...

I had a dream nightmare the other day. Some guy was wooing me, but I have you and he has someone else too. Apparently, that guy was kinda good looking and was asking me to leave with him. I got woken, or rather, shock-ened up. It is something I absolutely don't want it to happen. It's scary as sometimes dreams do come true, think, deja vu.

Tears, you gotta stop flowing...

Kena CONNED At Chinatown!

Anyone planning to buy Chinese New Year goodies and snacks at Chinatown later or tomorrow? BE WARNED!!!

My sis and I love those Taiwanese jelly and during CNY we buy them from those "ah beng" uncles who sell them at about $1 for 100 grams. After picking & weighing, the hawkers would go, "take a few more to round off to (some)kg," and at the same time, they'll throw in some and say that it's free.

After buying them for 3 years already, I already knew their "free" is not free afterall. They throw in the "freebies", add to the weight and in total, I'll be charged about 500grams to 1kg worth of products I did not picked.

What happened this year was, as seen below, I and my sis had picked about 2kg worth of jellies. Then these uncles told me to take another 3 to make up 4kg when adding some "freebies" to the bag. When I heard 4kg, I somehow mentally estimated that we did not pick that much! But, giving them the benefit of the doubt, I took another 3 more and then the uncles piled in some more "freebies". Thus in total, they piled in the "freebies" TWICE! When I reached home and counted and laid out the goodies, it was correct that we paid for 4kg of products, BUT half of it was NOT picked by me nor my sis! It was damn obvious that we only took the lychee, mango and strawberry flavored ones!
I do not mind paying a little more just like past years, but to pile on as much as I took (and even slightly more than what I took) and to lie through your teeth and tell me "3 more to 4kg", that's way tooo much!

From now on, whenever anyone (yes, including myself) wants to buy these jellies and mua chees, take note of following individual weights and mentally calculate how much was taken...
Jellies are at 50grams each. Thus, 2 pieces = 100grams, and 20 pieces = 1kg.
Mua Chees are about 14-16 grams each. Thus 6 pieces = 100grams, and 67 pieces = 1kg.
These "longish" packaging of muah chees are 30grams each. Thus 3 pieces = 100grams and 34 pieces = 1kg.

I can only think of one reason why in the past I was charged slightly more, but this year I was charged "sky-rocketing" more: In the past, I bought them outside Clementi Central's NTUC while this year, I bought them at Chinatown...

Should I Publish This Comment?

Take a look at this print screen and help me decide if I should publish or reject this mean and cursing comment.
Psst, Anonymous, are you a "disgraceful" Singaporean? Why so defensive?

My stand is that bloggers have the right to say what they feel, its their blog. If you do not like it, then don't read.
If you are too afraid to reveal who you are, keep your hands off the keyboard.
If you have nothing constuctive to say, keep your hands off the keyboard.

Disgraceful Singaporeans Part 2

Well, Part 2 wasn't planned. I just remembered, while bathing just now, that I had photos of evidence...


This is the clever one, placing the oily tray on the ledge.
This is the disgraceful one, placing the oily tray on the seat to his/her/its right.









And I also didn't know that air-con vents on the bus are dustbins...
