So into this at the moment. How do people get so freaking original
Thursday, October 6, 2011
its too late to blog so i'll do a good followup post tomorrow during the lunch break.
What i really need to get off my chest now now now is... Whattheheck was that burst of nagging just now?! Sorry if i cannot tolerate more nagging than what is necessary. To get a point across, you need only say it once. Don't need to make me feel like i'm a hugefuck burden to the family or I just ruined your day by forgetting to dispose of away a used container.
Conversation is what other normal family members have. And nagging is not conversation. Instead of asking how my day is or adding anything that is of worth to building a relationship, you just unleash a shitstorm of disciplinary crap on us (speaking not just for myself here). C'mon la, it's not like i don't know what to do. Obviously I might have been caught up in something else or yah, maybe i was just plain lazy to do it at that moment...but I never expected you to pick up after my TEMPORARY mess. And some of the things are so menial, i can't believe anyone else would be affected by it.
Maybe my mess reminds you of my father and how he screwed up your life and you think i'm gonna mess up your life too. Perhaps you might think that the screwing-up-my-life trait is genetic and hereditary and it might have been passed onto me, his daughter. News flash: Only people in your life are allowed to screw with it. Kindly be informed that I have been excluded from your life since you decided all you wanna do after work is watch teevee and talk to your friends on the phone. It has come to a point that we cant even carry on a decent conversation at the dining table without the teevee. *laughs*
I have come to a conclusion. Anything said more than once in the future, coupled with that ridiculous tone + overrepeated inane comments will be ignored. Only because flaring up causes me to feel guilty.
**final notes** It's funny. I remember how on the taiwan trip your sister nagged at you about the luggage and shit and i saw your reaction to it and how you felt. Thanks for dumping the same crap on me.

Hello all, this should prolly be the final update of all my travels the past 2 months.
This post is basically the travelling in UK.. which has been pretty neglected in the previous posts.
London
Tower bridge
Hard Rock London
M&M's world
Harrods. Epitome of shopping. Nothing in SG comes close to this.
Aerial view of Central London
Manchester
Theatre of dreams
Market street. Best of Manchester!!
Liverpool: ANFIELD!
Durham: Angel of the North
York
LOTR in the distance
Cliffords tower
Beer!
Newcastle!!
Okay this isnt fair. I'll do up an entire Newcastle post, with stories and photos of my campus etc.
Newcastle upon Tyne is one of the best cities in the UK! Swear by it (:
Other misc photos in the meantime which are not from UK. Still mighty awesome.
Switzerland (en route jungfrauch)
By the way, I've started a new job at a obscure bar/restaurant in Punggol.
PM me for more information! I'll be waitressing so i'd love to wait on your table!
Much love.

La Dolce Vita
First day back! Ciao everyone!
Wa Singapore is SO hot. zomg.
how did i survive here the past 20 years.
So first day back and the NDRally is on, with PM Lee doing his best to psyche everyone up.
i.e. injecting some much-needed pride back into Singaporeans.
He tries his best to engage the youth of this generation by putting in some transformer vid as an example.
Next thing you know, self absorbed people on FB start flaming PM. Like hello?
What has the man done to you? Obviously he's not staging the NDR to rally votes.
You know, i've found that the people who complain the most are those who have been cooped up on our island through the span of their lives. Which is sad.
While i have not seen the world, i have been doing a decent amount of travelling in recent years.
In spite of seeing a fair bit of Asia and EU, I still feel SG is the best country to live in.
Friends and family aside, i base my judgement on the following
1. Language (spoken, signs, ease of communication)
2. Getting around (commuting from place to place)
3. Arts and culture
4. Shopping (grocery shopping included)
5. General cost of standard of living
While we may not have excelled in all the above criteria, we definitely were not in the bottom of any.
Prolly the only 2 countries which come close to SG's standard of living is London/Sweden.
But London is too ex and Sweden's main language is Swedish.
And while we may envy other bigger countries for their space, its easy to forget that not every space in their country is well utilized.
One more thing i can't stand. People dissing LKY for no apparent reason and calling him senile. What happened to respect.
oh well, enough ranting.
photos from Newcastle, London and Sweden
If i seem really happy in the photos, it's cos I AM! It's the combination of cool weather, the novelty of new places and the awesome company that made the entire trip so enjoyable.
