pissed

I've yet to understand why some people can be so oblivious to their surroundings; other's presence, emotions and feelings. I know, I do not have to rack my brains and try to figure something out, but it's so irritating. I thought I've settled it, I've thought about complexities to it, but no, I'm wrong, again. I don't know if I should be glad or what; thankful because you've taught me the harsh realities of life? Or upset because there have been countless occasions of such unhappy happenings.

10, 20 years down the road, seriously, how many people will even bother to send an email and ask about how you are doing? Perhaps that's only when you find out who your good pals are. Even now, how many people bother to initiate a meet-up? People just wait, and let time slip pass; we take things for granted. And when people die, we regret not spending more time with them.

They say that "birds of a feather flock together". So does that mean that loners are unique people with unique personalities? And if you have a split personality, does that then make you a hybrid?

and...you know, it's pretty sad if someone can't trust anyone.

Perhaps we should all be plain-boring, simple creatures like algae.

Have I mentioned how rude MOST Singaporeans are? They squeeze their way through the door as they BOARD the trains; they don't thank you when you hold the door for them; they call people so obviously younger than them AUNTIES and UNCLES. Seriously wtf. Maybe it's time to bring out SINGA the mascot for the courtesy campaign again.

On a lighter note, yesterday was officially my last day at work. No work but all play yesterday! So thousands of kids flocked to the JW swimming complex for Aqua fiesta and the place was packed. Had real fun doing duty, getting into the water, splashing about, dunking wenrui, playing waterpolo and much more. Thank goodness there wasn't any rain to jeopardize the entire carnival. (:

Today saw me at NTU open day. Er... well, it was informative. How I wish I can fly off to the various open houses. Sigh. And I think I will probably have to give up Nottingham. Who says money can't buy happiness? BUT I was thinking about it this afternoon, and then I saw this line of words on this guy's shirt.

It said "Don't be sad because it's over; be happy because it happened".
I thought it was pretty timely, and well, I accepted the fact that I won't be too dejected if I can't get to go Vet school in the end (:

(wow, long post. haha)

Ah yes, so I've quit teaching. Going into other jobs, and hopefully I'll find one really soon. Teaching has made me realised a lot of things. 1) How kids are so pampered nowadays. 2) How different Singapore kids are as compared to kids from third world nations. 3) Kids tell horrible lies. 4) I hate myself when I scream at kids; it's just not me. 5) 6) 7)...

okay, that's all for today. NUS open day tomorrow! :D
