Because I'm Loved!: October 2007

Thursday, October 25, 2007

Coming to this place makes you forget how it's like to have NOTHING to do. Just finished an organic chem test(Phew thank goodness THAT's over and done with, you cant imagine the insane amounts of reagents, conditions, unnecessary mechanisms i have to remember! Its like A-levels workload x 1000! Welcome to Singapore.), and i have bioinformatics assignment due by tonight(and i'm still typing this blogpost!), stats assignment in a week's time, universe project due soon, 2 tests coming up. I ask you who has 30 hours of lessons and labs plus every week, go out at 7.45am come back at 6.30pm every single weekday, has like 12 CAs in totals over 3 months then 6 papers for final month! Again, welcome to Singapore.

Heh. A year plus on and i'm still bitching bout the workload. Shows that i've not been converted (into the dark side) :P.

Yesterday at my marketing tutorial, my tutor, who apparently has a new company set up in Msia so she had to go back and forth very often to msia last year (around The Curve area) said:

Tutor: have you heard of the curve?
Class: Nooo...*thinks of some ulu place in the jungle with wooden houses on stilts*
Me: *thinks that the curve will beat the biggest shopping mall here flat*

Tutor: You know, you would expect ppl in msia n s'pore to be similar, cos its so close etc, but you know, when i first went to msia, i got the shock of my life! Ppl there do this very well, and almost EVERYONE of them do it, which is they loooveeee to take money from the cashier machine.
Class: *GASP* ISNT THAT STEALING?! *appalled look*
Me: (What?! Almost everyone?!Liar.)

Tutor: yeah! there was this lady we suspected of like taking 100k over a period of time, so she denied we had a court case for 1 yr plus and in the end WE LOST THE CASE *gasp of horror from class, and thought bubble comes out of everyone's heads: Msians are so barbaric* and we had to pay her for like job loss compensation etc etc etc! So now in msia we only hire part-timers, where if ure not good we just give you like one day to work, in d end you will leave yourself cos if u fire ppl in msia they will come back and harm you.
Me: *raises eyebrows*

Tutor: And you know, cinemas right, you're not supposed to bring in outside food. I mean, its common knowledge , and you guys are brought up to know not to bring in outside food into d cinema. I Saw personally with my own eyes, in msia, when d cinema attendant told d fella he cant bring his food in, he got SO angry he threw ALL HIS FOOD at the attendant's face and stormed off!
Class: *gasp of horror and resolves that all msians are barbarians*
Me: (Wtf i've never seen it before it my whole entire life)

Geez man. Sheesh.

What i've seen myself, is while in giant in s'pore, is a lady, cos she couldnt pay her milo at the staff cashier, went to the management, called the fella here, and started bitching bout 'is there a special treatment for staff?! I want to pay my milo here and she tells me i cant, and when i look back shes making payment for a staff member!

Helloo. My goodness.

Okay haha :P Time to get some work done :)

Oh..sidetrack. Nick Carter from BSB is hot :P And their new song is soo nice it's stuck in my head :P

I just had to blog about this.

Recently there were a few cases of dengue in the residence hall, so now everyone gets a free digital thermometer and a free small size shieldtox spray for free!

Lol.

Why can't there be a disease that can be cured by ice cream :P Then we'd have free ice creams :D
