Ugly Fugly Singaporeans



I have witnessed this scene far too many times while travelling in a MRT train. Let me get direct to the point. Singaporeans' butts are far too heavy to be lifted off the seats in order to offer to those elderly folks or pregnant ladies. I get totally annoyed when someone (especially the young and ignorant people out there -shame on you!) just simply refusing to give up his/her seats to someone else who needed more. Is it because it's too 'paiseh' (shy) thing for being considerate? There was once I was on the verge of asking a young man to stand up so this poor preggy lady could take a seat. It was quite obvious that she was struggling abit to gain the balance while the train is on the move. Oh well...



Most Singaporeans do get on with good education but that doesn't mean they are good with their courtesy mannerism. In fact, I do failed on Singaporeans very badly for lack of graciousness. While they do care more for themselves other than sparing a thought for others. For instance, this middle lady was talking on the phone while her body was blocking the tapping machine. If she's not getting off, then she should move her ass to the back of the bus la. What's more, the 'gan cheong spider' uncle even tried to stretch his arms for miles in order to get his card tapped before arriving the destination.

People don't queue for the buses. Somehow, I would think Singaporeans could be jolly doing well in rugby games since most of the communters that I saw enjoy pushing and digging their way through relentlessly.

Beehoon goreng

2 packs of fried mee were cooked and brought over to the clinic by a regular client of mine. It was nice to have someone who appreciates our hard work. It does make me feel like a 'million dollar' baby with such kind gestures.
Well, with the beehoon goreng on hand, it saved me the time and effort qeueing up at the cafeteria. hurhur!

***********

This uncle made a comment which I find it to be quite amusing.

He said:" uh miss, if you walk down the streets like now, I would have thought you are someone who sells beauty products."

Me:*giggles* ( wonders of Sk2 products?)

Diana Krall

A famous jazz singer with an amazing voice is coming to town this Sept. No one is keen to watch it with meeee! Bugger it.
Tickets are abit on the pricey side tho. I guess this is 'what you pay for what you get'.

Ah boy will always be Ah boy


This teenage boy who came in with his mom doesn't even rattle a single word to me about his ankle pain. All the answering was done by his mom only. Despite with the mom's encouragement, the boy still refused to say ANYTHING about his condition. He doesn't appear to be stupid or something.
Each time when I asked him a question, he would just stare at his mom and hoping she came up with an answer ...fast! With my eyes rolling up, I was just thinking I hope he doesn't take his mom along for his national service too.
Don't think the Captain will be too happy about that ;p

One of my regulars: Mr ABNN

He said he will cook a nice plate of mee goreng for me on his next visit.

*so touched*

Run on Monday

Since I was volunteering with the 'special' organisation, I was assigned to run with this Down Syndrome's kid on the track. I was impressed that he was able to complete 2km walk-a-jog before coming to a complete stop. Quite an acheivement for a non- runner like him.

Today I had the first run using the Nike sports band. How it works is by applying the chip onto the Nike plus shoe with the waistband applied that can detect the pace, mile, calories burnt..etc.
Me love gadgets!

Dad

The best household chore which my dad ever does de best is throwing away the rubbish bags promptly.


********************
Toyboy

Mr Toyboy, who is almost like a 'soulmate' to me, has been trying to get me to participate for a triathlon event. If only he is much older, I wouldn't mind considering him.Ho ho ho. Don't tell me age is not a barrier. At this present moment, it is sure an issue. I can't be the 'prefect' sugar mom anyway. Mr TB took good care of me when we cycled on the roads. Very considerate fella who possesed certain level of maturity despite being a youngthing.

*******************

Buaya

Mr Buaya has returned! We haven't been talking since the chinese new year until recently he met me over a small meeting. Don't know what has got into him, he started to text me asking how my life has been. The most surprising thing is he even asked me out for dinner on the weekend. I'm quite taken aback because his weekends have always been so precious to be spent on work, work and more research. Whatever it is, my gf thought I shouldn't be going out with him since I was never keen in de first place.

It's just a DINNER outing. Honestly, there isn't any harm going for it.

Mr B doesn't seem to communicate a lot with his family. Perhaps he does have an issue with his family dynamics. And he prefers to have a CRT tv.

Based on my observations, he doesn't realise what 'happiness and love' is all about. What's the point of making so much money and not able to enjoy it?

***********
Mr Eye

Mr Eye just broke up with his gf recently. Maybe there are guys out there like him who can't simply get over with the breakups easily.
Poor fella.
He was boo boo-ing at home and calling gfs (like us) for some consolations plus support. =_=

Mail from Taiwan Auntie

Taiwan auntie wanted to introduce this very eligible Mr Engineer to me. She even did his family background, financial status and his characters checked. Saying he is probably one of the most ideal dudes she ever come across plus armed with a MBA degree. Aiyer, but I don't really want to get myself in a long distance relationship. No moving to Taiwan business for me. Hmph!
Then again, I'm not saying I'm rejecting the idea of knowing Mr Engineer. No harm to add on another friend in my circle.
We shall see.

Dualthlon

Woke up 5am in the morning. Had 1 marmite spread on bread, 1 large banana, 1 energy bar, 1 cup of milo for breakfast. At around 6+, woke dad up so he could take me to Mandai for my very first Dualthlon event. On the first leg of run, I was running quite miserably due to a stitch on my right abdomen region. Definitely puts me off abit. Once I arrived at the transition area, I mounted onto the bike and started cycling for 15km. Got off the bike and started running for another 3km which I almost couldn't finished it. And again, the stitch returned at the same region. Knn.......

Total time of completion: 1hr 36mins

Could be better next time.
Someone suggested I should get a ironman bf to train me up ;p


********************

Mr P asked me out for lunch but it didn't happened. No doubt it has been planned a week ago, he acutally had forgotten it. Saying he needed to take care of baby niece since there wasn't any family members at home too. Hence, the lunch has to be put on a rain check. At the same time, he asked me if I'm free on the following week. I told him to let me know again.
Can't stand people who doesn't keep up with their words.

Lousy.
