heys, yeok and mu, if you're reading this, i have to say... i'm SOOOO damn terribly sorry that i've missed ur convocation! i only started remembering that u're having it when i saw the news a night ago. I'm so sorry. I really wanted to go and take photos of u two in the convo costume, really!

but haiz, i guess i can't take the photo until the day i have my own convo right? i heard yeok that it's so much more worth it to buy the costume, so now i'm hoping mu u oso went to buy it and have it pack away in a corner of the room. take it out for me on my day kay?

actually, honestly speaking, i felt like i have this obligation to update my blog. dun noe why... somehow there's this tugging feeling within me. and when i start to write in here, i felt like i'm just rambling or uttering nonsensical rubbish that the rest of the world shouldn't even care. haiz.

a week and a few days more to the start of the new school term (avoiding the phrase "reopening of school" cos i know sk will sure to kindly correct me, *winks*), and next week will be filled up with hall camp. am looking forward to the sunday night when us hall-prodigies will be showcasing ourselves.

ah, ok, a little update on what is going on for hall2prod for me. me, i'll still be involved in it, as a scriptwriter and as a co-director (lanzi, i tink, is still trying to get me to drop the "co" bah), giving most of the creative directions for the script since i'm the one who wrote it in the first place. now i'm trying to come up with the actual script, having written 7 out of the supposed 16 scenes already at this point. actually, honestly, the more i write, the more i want to see it staged. weirdly. most probably, because this story has been with me for quite some time since the start of this year bah, and it was inspired by a lot of my favourites (be it anime episode, novel, idol, or song). but, i needed the runaway next year. yes, i call it a runaway, from singapore, from this weird culture that i felt i'm starting to suffocate in.

why weird? actually i never really bothered about this culture thingy before until i went Taiwan. coming back, my view has been quite altered. i tink singaporeans suck. interestingly, i don't dread the government, cos i felt none of the governments on Earth is actually an organization which is near perfect. i dread the people, cos they're the ones who have the government as it is.

for that one week that i drove (in my bro-in-law's car), the things i've seen on the roads just made me confirm what i believe the "Singapore" culture is, thoughts that have seeded in my mind since don't know when, but have bloom into a full grown tree now.

people drive much faster than the speed limit, and blame others for driving just at the speed limit and press their horn untastefully and irritatingly. being scared of accidents and speed (having met a few accidents as a child), i made an effort not to drive beyond the speed limit. if it's 80kmh, then i'll be at 75-80; if it's 90kmh, i'll be at 80-90. what's wrong? i don't occupy the right-most lane (i have a fear of bumping the center kerb), and i really don't swerve my car. yet i kena horned by ppl for no reason. hullo~ if u feel like speeding, i can only be sorry that u're in singapore and not italy. if i'm going by the rules because i have my reasons, u shdnt ACCUSE (yesh, that's the word i'm associating with horning) ppl for doing so.

that's the problem with singaporeans u know. they defy the rules, JUST for the sake of doing it, JUST for the THRILL of doing it. then if anything happens to them, they bitch, they gossip. "Wah, today arh, there's this car on the road that almost hit me leh" "why how come?" "i'm almost late for work and have to rush what, then the stupid red pedestrian lights come on. what u expect me to do? if late again, how? reputation not good leh!"

see see? if u're late, then sorry, but don't expect the rest of the world of cars to give way to u when u ignore the red lights to cross the road u know? dun blame the cars for horning u in this case.

today, i was on 180 back to NTU, den at a t-junction, the bus is waiting to turn right as the pedestrains crossed the road. when the pedestrain light is already flashing and almost turning red, this teenage-boy have to sashay his way onto the road and continue to sashay his way cross the road even when the lights turn red. Wah lao~! hullo boy arh! red lights leh! cannot see arh? have to make all 40 passengers on the bus WAAAAIIITT for u to ENNJJOOOOYYY sashaying cross the road issit? if u need to pee, and HAVE to cross the road, u can quickly cross the road to find a toilet and the earlier u get to release u know? if u're not in the hurry, WHY THE FUCK DO U NEED TO IGNORE THE SIGNS FOR U TO STOP AND MAKE THE WHOLE BUS WAAAAIIIITTT FOREVER FOR YOU HAR? fun arh? SLAP u in the face u know. blardy hell.

i hate blardy immature singaporeans. yee-yer...

er-hmm, luckily i purposely didn't put a title to this post. sorry for letting u all hear my ramblings. paiseh.
