reflections
Ah please, go get a room..
Over these few weeks of Chinese new year...in terms of gambling revenue, ive lost.....i LOST!! a GRAND TOTAL OF....80cents.~ this may not sound like alot...but it IS alot when you bet in the cents, meaning 1 cent for 1 tai in mahjong. That could either mean i suck or im just plain unlucky. Other than that, CNY was enjoyable, the usual visiting and while red packet collection might perhaps be on the top of the appreciation list in cny for others, it isn't for me, not for any noble reason but simply because my revenue isn't anything to boast about. If im lucky, i hit 3 digits. Not everyone has 4 grandparents to open a grandchild bank account..Not 12 hours ago in one of the "GIFTED" classes i taught, a boy told me that he got (in words) Five Thousand Six hundred and Twenty Eight dollars for chinese new year. Initially i was shocked but when i asked who gave it to him, he said 1k each from each grandparent, 500 each from each parent, and the rest from relatives...ahh..i see so what did you do with the money? "i bought 10 maple story cash cards" as cute as he was, i didn't ask furthur. SIT DOWN!!! time to start class. Today the most hilarious thing that happened was, in the compputer lab. Now for the kids to sign into windows they have to press control-alt -delete to go to the login page. Some of these really really deprived children..don't know whats control-alternate-delete. I mean finding the keys wasn't the problem, it was pressing them in order. there are 3 factorial ways to press it so it took quite awhile.
Everymorning, i will take a bus from newton mrt and take another bus from there to nanyang pri. That busstop, is like china town square during chinese new year eve every morning at 7am. Except that its filled with students. Not that i have any problems with that, but im in working clothes man. I feel so old..i feel like im out of the gen-Y which all gen-Xs claim we are. Ok thats not the problem. There is a couple, in NJC school uniform, kissing and cuddling every morning at the bus stop, IN FRONT OF STUDENTS from...HCI, SCGS, ACS, ST Marg, Nanyang, and afew more. Now i am not exaggerating here. I could feel the discomfort of those around me at that sight, i believe its called..PDA or something(girls term it im not sure). At those moments i feel so ashamed that my sister is in NJC, and two, i feel embarassed FOR THEM. Oh well, youngsters are becoming more liberal(though im probably their age LOL).
Stopping at the bus-stop before coronation plaza, i got down and started my walk into the housing estate of bungalows and mansions. Its strange why Nanyang Pri is in the middle of a large estate of expensive homes. Perhaps these owners paid to built it=x. The walk in is peaceful by itself...i see many strange things. For one, each home was large, nicely designed, and had much greenery, almost every house hold planted flowers and trees and left it to their maids to take care of them. A home, had a large metal gate, with a large sign hung on it that says, BEWARE OF DOG! and shows a picture scary black german shepard. Being a dog lover, i took a peek inside to see where the dog was, it wasn't there. Hmm thats strange, maybe its in the house, i thought to myself. So i carried on walking and RIGHT beside that home there was a LARGE labrador at the fence of the neighbour's home barking at me. i got the shock of the day. Well probably the name of the sign should be changed to " BEWARE OF NEIGHBOUR'S DOG<------"
Afew home down the row, i saw another strange object, it was a CISCO alarm. Attached onto the wall of a home, it serves as a detterent to potential burgurlers who might wanna break in. It looked sophisticated and had wires all over. On the exterior it says(not exactly but the idea is there): chain alarm system. Which i presume means that if a home is broken into, all the alarms will off together, not just the alarm of one home, this will frighten the burgurler and scare him off. Wow, i thought to myself, why didn't anyone think of having a chain alarm system up till now? this is a great idea. hmm...hey wait a minute.....thats when i realised that it wasn't sucha great idea after all. If i were to break into a home...and the alarm goes off, along with EVERY ALARM IN THE GOD DAMM BIGG ASS ESTATE, then how would the police know which home am i robbing? So i can take my time and have the good guys find me. This is all my imagination but i guess chain alarm system probably means that its connected to the police station and when the alarm goes off the police would know immediately.
Afew days ago, i visit a friend with afew more others. She had a really cute and demure female dog called jacqueline. Seeing that it was quite attention deprived, i sat down with it and she jumped onto my lap and lied down. I gently stroked jacqueline for awhile when i was wondering why someone would name a dog such a long and humanly name? Should it be chang chang, dong dong, ding ding, bang bang, lulu, mumu or something along the line? So i asked her owner, and it turns out that she was 4 years old and the owner explained that she was in sec sch and had an arch enemy, the enemy's name was jacquelin and thus, when she bought her dog she decided to name it after her enemy so that she can call: " Jacquelin the Bitch". In literal sense.
Someone reminded me that Vday is coming, and its the time to send and receive gifts, ok the latter prob not HAH. I used to send flowers at least...to a certain someone once a year, but i guess i'll be stopping this year. I get the feeling that the person can't be bothered. When you start getting generic replies, generic answers and no more initiative, its either that your concern and care are being taken forgranted for, or that you're a big idiot wasting your time and money. I figured which was the situation for me.
Ive got absolutely nothing else to say, hopefully inspiration would tweak back the next time.
Thats all folks...plays looney tunes theme*
Lame comment of the day: You sound like a donkey fighting with a monkey and a turkey.
