1. Register for St John first aid course online

• online server for registration was down
• vincent had to sign the registration form!
• I had to go down to the HQ to pay the fees

2. Renew passport

• I had to get the new biomatric one which I can only get in a week or so instead of just getting a "renewed" chop as promised on the website!!
• the stupid helpline was engaged and I had to go down to ICA to discover the above mentioned unpleasant surprise
• the queues in ICA are a nightmare. not because they were long but because no one knew where to queue for what!! I was asking people and people were asking me. a serious case of blind leading the blind. I went in circles looking for a queue ticket machine only to hear a man going "where to get queue ticket!! so messy!!" seriously. chaotic.
• and there is this completely ridiculous practice where you pay $10 lesser if you were to submit your passport application form via this deposit box instead of doing it at the counter. I didnt queue up just to listen to someone tell me how to save $10. does it seriously cost the people at the counter $10 just to process the form! not as if anything is becoming more efficient in the process..

3. Do RAG

• I need the lorry dimensions!! what was that Murphy's law again? oh ya.. "Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first". wonderful

4. Get lorry dimensions

• the STUPID IRRITATING lorry person refuses to let us see his lorry!!! call and call and call.. everytime he will go "I'll call you later" and HE DOESNT. %&@!#
• so we had to call every stupid lorry rental company in Singapore
• so we had to go online to look for the companies
• so we had to move from KFC to Mac cause KFC doesnt have wirelss@sg
• so Joel called and called... from companies in the west to north to central and either they did not have a 14 foot long lorry or it's already rented out or noone picked up
• so we resorted to looking in the east and FOUND ONE at Joo Chiat Road!
• and Mac has no power socket and my laptop died after a while so we didnt know where exactly the company was!
• so we called the STUPID IRRITATING lorry person and guess what?? he said "call you later" ARGH. words fail me when I think of him
• so we left for Joo Chiat
• and we cant find the correct bus
• and when we did, we overshoot our stop
• and we had to walk from like 1 Joo Chiat Road to 363 Joo Chiat Road to reach the company
• and the lorry was damn ex!!
• and the lorry wasnt even at the shop
• so we had to sit some lorry to this carpark at Fort Road to measure the lorry
• and then sit the lorry back to Joo Chiat and walk to parkway to take bus home

random point: took bus 12 home from katong area. it felt so weird to reach home in less than an hour via public transport!

now I know why I feel so damn tired.

1. When meeting new people, we keep asking the same standard questions (eg. what's your name? which faculty are you from? which school are you from? etc) that it starts to feel like an interview)
2. Not everyone will appreciate going throught the above mentioned interview and sometimes will not reciprocate with a perfunctory "what about you?" which could either be due to: They feel dumb asking the same thing you just did... OR they are just not interested in talking to you (how dare they!!??)
3. We sometimes really crack our brains thinking of what to say to some unresponsive walls (!) that we get so tired and pissed off that we just give up talking (the duration of this bout of silence depends on how pissed of we are and whether we meet someone else who actually respond to us)
4. We realised sometimes even we dont feel like talking and then feel pissed off when others keep wanting to talk to us and that could be how the unresponsive walls feel (hmmm...)
5. We dont understand how people can stand awkward silence
6. We sometimes keep ranting just for the sake of having something to say
7. We prefer awkward silence at a table of 4 rather than 2 so that the fault is 1/4 ours (the silence is so unbearable we start doing mental calculations..)
8. We can actually have a conversation about people not wanting to have a conversation (the power of good old friends!)

But there's nothing wrong with silence is there? Maybe before going into an awakward silence, we should just have an agreement that we both dont feel like talking, which turns the awkward silence into a comfortable silence. perfect solution! and if the both of us cant reach that agreement then we should just go into an argument which is certainly better than an awkward silence cause we can storm off and go into zi bi where we can have our own silence.

1. There will be world peace.
2. There will be no hunger and poverty.
3. Ok... YOU will be happy. Happy?

Since I am daydreaming.. Might as well..

1. I am Mrs Johnny Depp

Not really asking for too much, am I? (I am still in my perfect world, so the answer will obviously be no. :))

People always said that we should live our lives without caring what people think. Sounds good doesnt it. But when does the line get drawn? Can people live their lives without caring how they affect other people? I hate these people. But I envy them. Cause they are the truly happy ones.
