{The Ugly Singaporean - Monday, November 21, 2005}

Exams are over and here I am back in Singapore. While I love being here with my friends, this place by no means feels like home. The manners here sucks as well as the very kiasu mentality which I have grown to hate. The drivers on the road are horrid. The way people queue up is shocking especially when they push and shove over the silliest of things. The language spoken here is painful to listen to-sort of like how the teacher accidentally scratches the chalkboard with her nails producing a sound which makes the your hair stand.

Some stuff i've done:
  • Chilled at starbucks where kev and i used to go to almost everyday. Of course we know the staff and get free drinks and stuff =)
  • Bought a Matthew Reilly novel
  • Bough lots of alcohol- some icewine and a martel for jun's graduating sister
  • Bought a new fragrance for my sis and i, both from Hugo
  • Played some dota with friends-its painful playing sg games. Most of them leave when things dont seem to go their way. This is a reminder to some of them: Quitters never win. Winners never quit. There is a reason for the lack of standard-cheating and being sore about things arent exactly the best way to make up for the lack of skill. I really hope they just dont look at life from the same myopic view. Then again, i cant remember when I read an article about Singapore having one of the highest number of people who need vision correction.
  • Went to my friends's balloon making competition. Grats on them as Jim came in first and Alfred got 3rd. I'll put up pix when possible.
Anyway. I'm really tired and im going to get some rest. I'll be heading down to Sim Lim to help my sister get some stuff in preperation for her upcoming trip(s).
