Yeah blogging again. A few things to update...
1. CNY.. wahh it's quite tiring, with all the overnight mahjong/cards, and the house visiting. Though my economy is significantly strengthed, and my social circle too haha xD
2. Homework is killing me. Cos i only started doing my homework this afternoon, and obviously it's not enough. Of course being very shagged from a few days of vigorous celebrations doesn't exactly help =(
3. 1/5 '97 gathering today!! woot so cooling meeting some old friends. Well in general we all haven't changed that much, but still there's some great changes (lol contradiction?) For example, Cassie (dou dou) has such a cool accent after staying in Canada for so long... Shishuang seems prettier now. Shentong is so much taller. Stella is quite the same old her haha
4. I just realised raffles people can talk/write crap very well. So today afternoon, I just decided to anyhow write/compile some information for the SEAYC report... and soon it was completed, decently done i guess. And soon, Shuting sent another edited version (with alot of added parts) and it looks so professional already! wow
5. Shit, it sucks to be doing ur GP essay when half of u feel like sleeping and the other half feel like slacking... bleargh GP sucks!

Actually i think i have a warped sense of appreciation for gals... it's just very weird
For what many feel are the prettiest/chioest/hottest gals around, I tend to find them pretty average, plain and nothing special. Yet the gals whom I find the most enticing are often less acclaimed...
Oh well.... nvm

that was a post by the cashier boy in rjc.... actually i dun really feel that pissed off or wadeva after i have read his posts... infact i kinda concur with him to a certain extent.
I mean, c'mon, issit THAT surprising that there are spoilt/idiotic/inconsiderate RI boys who can only study? lol... (and pls dun flame me)
and it's quite sad that this guy has to quit his job... i know his post wasn't the nicest entry, and he was being rather stupid by writing all that shit, but i feel bad for him, having to quit his job...
Anyway , Happie Chinese New Year to everyone!!! =)

by popular demand. i shall update my blog o.O
work is well.. i suppose, getting better. Thing is I don't really like working with my partner. Things would have been better if I'm working with my store manager all the time. In this particular store, there's only 3 of us, so there isn't much of a choice eh?
I learnt a few interesting stuffs bout Raffles students from the past 2 weeks @ work. I shall briefly list them out. Enjoy.
1) Raffles JC Student(s)* don't know how to cook cup noodles.It's like this. 3 girls came into the store to get one cup noodle for one of the 3. Yea, nothing special. So they purchased the cup noodle first, and then proceeded to the hot water section. Next, they tore off THE ENTIRE COVER, added hot water, and IMMEDIATELY CAME TO ME AND SAID, 'the water is not hot enough it doesn't cook leh.. ' (excuse me, it's instant noodles but it's NOT THAT INSTANT) and followed by the most raffles-like question by another girl in the trio which goes.. 'can we put it in the microwave?' ok great actually i myself am not really sure if the cup noodle plastic can stand the microwave, so i told them, if you're sure it works, by all means go do it. and then, the last girl of the trio went 'can one! I did it before!'
ok so they went to the microwave and put the cup noodle into the microwave. moments later, they took it out, and i knew something must have happened and i kept quiet. they just immediately went out of the store with the cup noodle, without even getting chopsticks from me HAHA.
AND THEN, i proceeded to the microwave, opened it, and saw that the soup was spilled all over the microwave. Yea, and who clears the mess? Me lor.
Moral of the story - Never put your cup noodles into the microwave.
2) Raffles JC Student(s)* can't read instructions.
Title is self explanatory, so i guess i won't elaborate much on it. Put it simply, i've come across too many RJC students coming to me, asking me how to cook this and that and what button to press on the microwave etc.
READ THE DAMN INSTRUCTIONS IDIOTS.
3) Raffles Institution student(s)** don't know that a shelf is not for throwing rubbish.
Let's just say, RI kids really love 7-11. The store is EXTREMELY PACKED during their recess / breaks. So packed that you can't even see who paid and who haven't. It's that bad, the store is already small enough.
So anyway, RI kids love cup noodles and slurpee so much they eat them everyday I don't know when their hair will fall off and ants will invade their underwear. That's not my problem. My problem with them is, they throw ALL THEIR RUBBISH (cup noodle seasoning packets etc etc) on the shelf where they prepare their food and spill slurpee all over the floor during their attempt to make their money worth when dispensing slurpee.
all these, when the rubbish bin is just beside them.
4) Raffles JC guy(s)* are sissys.
Ok there was this guy who came to get a SUPER big gulp. He dispensed sprite into his gigantic cup, and all the way til the brim. Right before the water level hit the brim, an ant popped out of the dispenser. He immediately turned to me, gave his cb face, and said.
'WHY IS THERE AN ANT IN UR BIG GULP?'
before i even had the chance to say anything, he poured the whole cup away and tried again. It's just an ant dammit. JUST USE UR FINGER AND PICK IT OUT LA.
so what can i say about RAFFLES students?
1) they can only study.
2) they are spoilt nerds who can't cook cup noodles.
3) they are dependent nerds who can't rely on themselves such as reading simple instructions.
4) they show no concern to other people by littering all over the place.that is all. thank you for reading =D
*not all RJC students
**ALL RI students.

Actually i hve nothing much to blog these days.... cos i am always watching tv and therefore sleeping very late and then feeling too tired in sch ><
A few updates.
The buffon needle elective is damn cheem, and makes me feel really giddy while listening (was sleepy anyway already) and with the lecturer enthusing about how easy it is..... bleargh. But it's really magical how they can derive the exact value of pi from experiments (even buffon took 44 years to solve that)
Had math test. Somehow tests aren't as important as those in RI cos they aren't counted, plus my class is damn slack anyway - too slack - and for me i forgot to study for it, REALLY. And even then i can do the test, showing it's quite easy. But honestly, I have to stop being so slack alraedy.... lagging behind in everything =(
Saw the council's nomination list.... wow that's a hell lot of names. 400+ ppl is like 1/3 of batch, not considring the 2nd intake peoplel.... well anyway congrats to my frriends who got thru the first hurdle and hope you succeed! For me although i was initially wanting to run, but later felt i had other priorities (like watching tv!) And it's really surprising how some certain people are running for council also.... lol hope you become a laughing stock!
And yes, tomorrow's V-day! the day everyone's been waiting for! but poor me has no valentine so I am spending my time at home watching tv... haiz. Sad case right?

i am complain-king!
Dear Sir/Madam,
I write to relate my unpleasant experience at Bukit Batok Junior Mart (Address: Block 376 Bukit Batok Street 31 #01-116), one of the stalls under the Shop N Save brand name under Cold Storage.
On Friday, 9 February 2007 at approximately 9.39 pm, I patronized the abovementioned store and intended to purchase a bottle of Unif Green Tea at $0.80. However, I realized after I paid that I was charged $1.00 for the bottle of drink. When I approached the cashier regarding this issue, I was told that the offer on the can of Unif Green Tea was over. I was bemused as to why an eye-catching offer label was placed on the shelf even after the offer has expired. I probed further into this issue, and was told by the cashier, “It is not my job”, in a very discourteous manner. How the cashier treated me added to my displeasure.
It is extremely unfair to the customer that Shop N Save places offer labels on the shelves of your outlets after the expiry of the offers. Put harshly, this is a form of deceit; customers should not be misled to purchase an item at a price beyond what he or she is prepared to pay for it.
“We always care for our customers” is a line that appears in the mission statement of Cold Storage. Certainly, this entails the addressing of valid concerns by customers, including this one, and ensuring that every customer is treated courteously by your cashiers and store assistants.
Thus, I would like Cold Storage to look into this matter and offer me a satisfactory explanation regarding the placement of offer labels on the shelves even after the offers have expired, and on the lack of courtesy I experienced when dealing with the store cashier. I also hope that Cold Storage will take actions to prevent similar incidents from recurring.
I look forward to your reply.
Thank you.
The above is the letter i wrote (with a large bit of help from weizhong) and sent to cold storage. basically they scammed me and gave me a piss-poor attitude which really pissed me off...
I am not adverse to paying $0.20 more for a drink, but I will not pay a single cent more for something which is forced upon me without my knowledge...
They better be apologetic...

today had soccer with the RIRC FC ppl... anyway our record against sports team isn't THAT fantastic now... last time we used to beat rugby, polo, scouts etc. Today we could only draw with rj soccer. but anyway our gang is really fun and rocker! =)
Also got back o level results today... well i think i am satisfied. Just think it's kinda weird cos some damn zai ppl din get a1 while some lousier ppl did much better. Life's unfair... what can you do?
And i am feeling stressed, cos i just got so much things to do!!! bleagh and i am chatting now!

should i ask or should i not?
should i send or should i not?
should i?
will this be the turning point? or a decreasing function tending towards negative infinity?
where am i on this curve? or am i still looking for the function? where is the end point, or is the range defined yet?
sighz.... mathematical puns are the first sines of madness

still not feeling well, with a very shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiity sore throat X_x
so woke up today... was feeling some pressure but was still coughing badly. Took mrt to buona vista and started meeting a lot of ppl i know, like lixing, juanhe, junren etc. Then boarded 95.
So the first face i saw was on my left, charlene, my OG mate. So i said hi to her. Then the next thing i saw was the gal behind her, whom i think is chua jiani, my pri sch classmate who's in acjc now. But i wasn't really sure it was her, so i was quite tentative as to whether i shld say hi and was just staring at her.
And when i sat down nearby, i realised the gal infront of me is audrye!! (which is like just to the left of charlene.... just that i was staring at jiani i din notice) and all along she's been there! bleargh.... wahh
So went nus for the aptitude test. I did bcm, cos i heard physics was quite hard... and the whole lt was spammed with rjc ppl.... wahh hardcore. Anyhow did my questions la, hope can do okie... meaning i dun get a negative score ;)
After that i took 95 to buona vista, train to clementi and 156 from clementi to sch. So i alighted beside rjc and i realised the bloody gate is locked!!! wahh so i tried walking down... and towards the tracks part, i realised it wld really be a hardcore walk. So i just took a cab so that it can detour and enter rjc through the other gate... 3 bucks wasted ><
So there was the SEAYC "training camp". haha actually it's quite fun, and the ppl there are quite funky also.... just that i wasn't feeling too well so wasn't too enthu... and there seems to be many moor-tarbet ppl there.... including me
Towards the end, esp after mr surprise came, i was feeling really tired and sleepy, and was soo soo relieved when the whole thing ended. So i took 157 for the 6A gathering. alighted at wrong busstop and went wrong macdonald.
Finally met up, and in fact i wasn't even late! lolz. actuallly it's kinda nostalgic to see so many classmates again.... and many of them have changed so so much.... some went diff jc all over singapore, some went poly, some working now, some who look so much different now....
So we had a birthday celebration, well including mine. It was kinda childish but hahaha... nvm.
anyway chelsea-charlton starting soon...must go watch =)
