it's another saturday...erm....yippe.

It's saturday again! Used to like it 'cos have CO practice in school...then when I got into uni, there's 十字路口 at 2.30pm followed by 真情 at 4.30pm on Channel U. But now...boring!! 十字路口 is now at 7.30pm on Channel U, but my granny wanna watch Channel 8 while sleeping at the same time....huh?? Luckily there's still 真情, can see Xiao An every weekend. Xiao An is also on Channel 8 9pm show now....but think he got more mature, not as cute liao. More manly!! Muaahhhaaa..

Me: 看! Xiao An! 没穿衣! (Xiao An was bathing....troubling over who he should choose. Joan? Jin Jin? Joan? Jin Jin?)
Mum: Xiao An 很帅 hor...为什么会生到这样帅?
Me: But 他现在样子不同 liao.....有点坏坏的样子. 可能因为他戏里演坏人.
Mum: 也不算是坏人....
Me: 不懂lah...我没看lah... 有坏人脸就是有坏人脸.
Mum: 你哪里可以这样讲我的偶像?????
Me: !!!!!!!! (stunned dio)

Seems like 真情 is my only entertainment on Saturday. Bored bored bored. Only vivian and 1 sec school friend are online now. It's saturday night! Where's everybody?? huh...definitely not home? kao...what am I doing here? Viv is in away mode (again...) and my sec school friend? He said he found a lost phone SE S700i....wow...but dun dare to return 'cos he suspected the owner is a KTV hostess. And to prove his point, he sent me 3 RA pics of the owner and her customer....biang...... Not really super RA lah, but is those type of pics which i dun dare to show parents lah....get what i mean? Anyway, i've deleted. Dun try to ask me to do any file transferring k.

Saturday is oso the day when Straits Times has a thick copy of Recruit section...sometimes 2 copies somemore wor. Every week happily/stressfully flipped, yet realised though many EE jobs, most require at least 3-5 years of experience or knowledge of some softwares or languages. Then realised something worse, the jobs I'm interested in are mainly for ME grads....best! Did I choose the wrong department?? I put ME as my last choice when I was in year 1 leh....

Too eng. So surfed net. But always visiting the same sites....my friends' blogs, those famous blogs (mr. brown, xiaxue, kenny sia, sandralicious, haro singapore etc.). I prefer Brown's articles on Todays papers...but long time no read liao 'cos no Todays home delivery service. Xiaxue's blog and gmail kenna hacked...so poor thing... Kenny Sia is going through some bad times now....another poor thing. Sandralicious is a really cute looking gal. And haro singapore is an interesting and kpo blog...我喜欢! muaahhhaaa....

Other than those sites, I oso check yahoo mails, hotmail mails, nus mails and play games! HK cafe from
http://www.maggiemarket.com/ is fun!! Test ur multitasking skill...my highest record is 4360. Played till hand cramped liao still can't get into their topscore. Still bored? Watch flash movie loh....http://www.kokoro.com.tw/ Not enough? Get violent with Happy tree friends! http://oasi.upc.es/~kiusap/flash/happy_tree_friends/

My grandma suddenly woke up when I wanted to secretly change TV channel to channel U....humph! Mission failed.

Way too eng. Found some volunteery job to do. Anyone interested please contact me. Guys who wanna shave hair for free and help the needy at the same time can contact me too....I have lobang!

Went out to meet my sec school friend and celebrated her bday. Wore tank top plus cardigen. Long time nv wear cardigen liao....but it's time to cover more fats to avoid BT uncles (I know I said this doesn't work....I just wanna experiment...) and 'cos today is a rainy day. Went KBox today also. Last time I could stay in KBox and sing till the staff attempt to chase us out twice. But today is failure man....he just came in and said "你的时间到了", opened the door wide and on the lights bright. My friends and I felt like we are in HK movie, kenna raid by police...男的左边, 女的右边, IC拿出来! Chopped chopped left the place.... Next time dun go that branch liao....they are too strict and dun open on time...

Gfoto is finally ok already!! Can see my friend's europe pic, can view another friend's graduation pic and just when I wanted to see pig's pics....I realised she didn't give me her password. Hey hey....ah pig u purposely one har....

my friend, huimin just mms me a ndp rehearsal pic. Looks fun! I wanna see too.....I only get to see the parachuters (is this what we call them?) in the sky last sat, giving out red smoke from hmm...dunno where...that's all.

The uncles are getting BT....

BT = bian tai; 变态; perverted; freak

BT is a good word to summarise all the super negative cum disgusting adjectives that can be used on many uncles nowadays. There seems to be a significantly increasing number of BT uncles recently...or perhaps an increment in the number of BT uncles my friends and I had unfortunately met. Lemme mentioned a few...note it's a few only k....

Case 1
Returned home at 11+pm and I was followed by a BT uncle. Hunched back, in white tee, jeans, around 1.74m with disgusting little moustache.

Thought he followed so close 'cos he wanna overtake me, but no...when i moved away for him, he walked slowly all the way with lotsa staring. At one point when i thought he wanted to cross the road hence safe enough for me to turn into my street, he suddenly turned in with me. But I'm oso smart enough to walk behind instead of in front of him...though his pace was like 1 step per sec...the road so big, blocked my way somemore... @#%@(&#!

In the end, technology helped me and my power mummy came to my rescue.

Case 2
Not as exciting as Case 1, but I can still remember how the uncle looks like. Late 50s, white tee with holes, black shorts, bold, short, hunched back (this thing about hunched back uncle ah....).

Just walked out of MRT station and saw an uncle looking at me strangely. Automatically, my red alert signal came on. And true enough, he approached me and asked "how much". That is sooooo duhhhhhhhh!! I think my clothes all quite decent right...I was wearing jeans not skirt that day somemore!

Case 3
A cyclist drove past my friend and wooooooo! 如来X掌 stretched out and touched her stomach. This is really BT....there's bascially no warning signs at all 'cos that uncle is cycling...who knows he can cycle with only one hand. My point is...this type is quite ultimate, hard to protect yourself against this kinda BT cyclist uncle.

Common cases on buses (there are more cases on mrt in fact....)

1.
Leaning while sitting

I remembered our jc physics lecturer (that oldest one....can't rem his name. Mr Pun?) tried to explain centripedal force during lecture. And his conclusion for that topic was: Girls should not blame the guys for leaning onto you when the bus turn 'cos it's the girls' fault for acting against the force. It's a joke...we all know that please...but apparently many uncles don't loh.

2. Leaning while standing


This is another ultimate BT act. Girl sitting down, uncle standing, facing the girl and leaning!! How gross can that be?! But fear no more....muaahhhaaaa.... 'cos power me had consolidated and came up with "10大防BTuncles大法"!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

10大防BTuncles大法大公开 (i sound so BT myself...oops) - only work when the uncle is still plotting his evil plan and not yet taken any action

1. First step: Walk away

This is to test whether the uncle is really BT or not. Or perhaps the uncle just born to have weird stares or ermm...itchy fingers.

2. Attitude

Act like nothing has happened. Stay cool. The more panic you are, the more excited the uncles get. This is the perfect time to act like a Hollywood star, 用鼻子看人, give the uncle a "我鄙视你" look.

3. Move towards the crowd

No crowd? Just move to places where there is at least one human, or more souls, or more light, or more moving objects k. It works 'cos somehow dark and motionless environment tend to arouse uncles.

4. Talk to anyone...simply ANYONE

In crowd still no use? Still can feel the uncle's ready for action? Just go talk to somebody. Can talk about anything....ask for the time, the date, the place etc. But no smile on the face k (recall point 2). If the red alert siren is already ringing rather loudly, then just tell the stranger about the BT UNCLE. Better, show a pathetic face.

5. Weapons

Always carry some weapons with you. Example: umbrella and compass. Umbrella is the perfect weapon to perform your 峨眉剑法, and compass? Use it when the uncle is "leaning while standing". Bend your elbow, grip the compass, point the sharp needle towards his XXX. Then send him a "来啊, you dare you come poke yourself loh...muaaahhhaaaaa" brainwave. Acknowledgement: my mummy

By the way, pepper spray is illegal in Singapore. However, since the number of BT uncles is increasing, probably it's a good idea if you can find a working one from black market. *evil*

6. Carry a bag

Bag is good. Can put all your weapons in. It can be used to beat up BT uncles without hurting our delicate hands. Can also be used to block salty pig hands and sweaty bodies on MRT and buses.

7. Wear heels

Heels are good too. Not only can heels give a leg lengthening visual effect, there are rumours about BT uncles scared of heels-knocking-head 第三十八式.

8. Give the guys some credit

Let them show some gentlemanliness. Allow them to see you home. 不顺路? No excuse.

9. Just dial

Like me, call for SOS. What's handphone for if it can't help you? Make full use of it. My friend said I called my mother a little too late. Should have called her when I sensed something is wrong. But i thought it was okay....'cos I used 10大防BTuncles大法 number 1 and 2 first...din know the uncle is more BT than I thought. Anyway, think my timing is quite ok oso lah...my mummy get to see the BT uncle walking in front of me, giving me stares...an evidence of her daughter at least have a little bit of charm...haa!

10. 见机行事

Nothing works? Dun follow any textbook or my 10大防BTuncles大法...just 见机行事. Bless you.



Seriously, they are effective ...not trying to smoke here.

Less effective ways are making yourself look ugly, cover every part of your body up including ears and fingers...'cos previous cases have proven many uncles are BT enough to go for almost all girls, any time and any place. As long as the gender is right, bingo!

So let us work together for our democratic society, so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our future.

ha. ha ha. *cold*

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dunno what the uncles are deprived of leh! i mean there are so many convenient, cheap or even FOC ways they can find the pleasure they wanted, what for they go disturb others right? What do they gained from few seconds? Really BT man...

Din expect myself to write this kinda of blog after so long of no blogging. I wasn't too bz or something...in fact I'm super eng. But somehow I tried to find many little bo liao things to do like read books, play piano, erm...blogging, etc. when I was bz. And when I'm super eng now, I dun feel like doing anything besides watching tv, sleeping and surfing the same websites everyday.

Weird.

Complains about school, baby, friend.....simply life!

Yucky day! Met up with my sec sch friends and had a nice chat...besides that, it's all so yucky!

Coolie

Yea....that's me...call me ms demure coolie... Went to help my father carry goods yesterday. Each box is 20-30kg, and there are 3000 of them!! Though there are 2 trolleys for transporting them, the boxes still need human labour to carry it onto the trolley and off the trolley into storeroom to pile them up.

As a demure GIRL, just 20kg is already heavy for me, not to mention piling them higher and higher and higher (luckily my macho bro did most of the piling at the top).....

Spiderman in action

When my gripping strength drops, i used my arms to support. When my arms are in pain, I used my hip bones ('cos tummy not big enough...hee...). When I can't find my hip bones fast enough, I used my lap to support.

Now i have an ached back and 4 bruised limbs with cuts... SOB!!!

School a.k.a Money Sucking Machine

1. Transcript

Have been reading the transcript website for few times...and I can't find any clear instructions/information about delivering transript by post to local address. So when I went to school in the morning to apply transcript, I didn't fill up the section on the collection and planned to ask the Registra lady at Office of Finance...

Still holding on to the form and before I can say anything...
Staff: Fill in this section first, then pay at the cashier.
Me: Check with you first, if I like to have my transcript deliver to a local address...
Staff: (harsh tone) You did not read the website properly, how can you come and apply for transcript?
Me: (HELLO?!? Where the h*** did you learn your manners from??) I READ. I wanna ask, is it free? 'cos the site only said about overseas delivery.
Staff: Yes, it's free.
Me: hmm. (left without thanking...she dun deserve it)

No manners leh!!!! Eating during office hour, talking while eating, scolding people before hearing them out.... I'm only thankful she didn't spit out any piece of food onto my form.

How much is 1 transcript?
$5.25!!!
And how much is 1 transcipt from NTU?? FREE!!!

2. Gown

After 16 years of education, our big day is finally here.

How much is 1 gown? $47.25 if purchase, $30 if rent!!!
How much is 1 graduation gown in NTU? FREE!!! And you get to keep it!!!

3. Plaque

And there are some booths selling plaques at the gown collection venue.

How much is 1 plaque?
$80+ to $100+, self collection
How much is 1 plaque selling in NTU?
$78 with free home delivery
Why there's a diff in price?
'cos the poor booth tenant a.k.a plaque seller has to pay $15k per booth cum commission for each plaque they sell...to the school! And there are around 10,000 fresh graduates every year, while there are only around 4,000 from ntu....get it?

Luckily I'm not medicine student....I dun need any plaque for my bachelor degree.

NTU friend A: we paid higher school fees leh...so we deserve this kinda welfare k
Me: eh....$2k+ per sem is also money loh. And there are little things here and there which they will charge us for leh....

Another conversation...an amended, summarised, , protected, more 38 version...
NTU friend B: hey my cousin couldn't get into NTU engineering this year leh, but he got into your school!
Me: WHAT?!? last time is opposite leh...why like that??
NTU friend B: i heard 'cos their school fees increase this year, so they wanna take in more more MORE students
Me: (no QC anymore?!) ok best!! $$ is more important than the value of our degree.

What more can i say....

Baby

After complaining non stop to my friend at the bus stop, I board my bus feeling quite shitty, and sat between a girl and a near 3 years old baby. The baby is obese...but okay lah, babies are meant to look cute and smile at...so i smiled at her like what all other around me did, though I really really really no mood to have any expression on my face.

Just when my butt is warming the seat up, the girl on my right wanna get off the bus. She stood up and elbowed my right arm where my big bruise is.....ouch..... Then immediately, I felt water falling onto my left arm....the baby is playing with her saliva!!! KAO! Although she's still a baby, I feel disgusted with all the saliva bubble around her fat cheeks loh... And she stared at me like I'm an animal in the zoo....maybe she know I put on a fako smile just now...but watever... I glanced around and nobody is looking, so I diao diao diao her hard...send her all my stop-all-your-crap brainwave and thinking at the same time: why must I smile at her in the first place? 'cos everyone expect me to be friendly to a baby? Will they think I'm some kinda bian tai if I diao her.... Just then, I noticed from the corner of my eye an auntie is turning her head towards my direction, and my diao-ing became a smile... I'm so disgusted by myself!!! super fako girl!!!

Her auntie oppo me took her away for 2nd around of milk feeding in 20 min....thank buddha!

Friend

Wanted to complain about him asking me what jobs I have applied whenever we are having conversation...but who knows, he may get to read the blog so better not talk bad about him too much. My friend suggested me to block him in msn. Nice suggestion....I will seriously consider.


I'm evolving into a complain queen....jia lat jia lat....rotting at home for almost a month makes me sick!
