Dear Blog,
Sorry for the neglect. I have been scammed. There is no such thing as time management. People are just under the illusion that time can be managed. How do you control something you cant even touch or see? Its just a big fat lie for people who are too free to appear like they are free BECAUSE they could control something as eluded as time. Even with plans and schedules, isnt it obvious that time is managing us?
Excuses, you may say. I have plenty of that where it came from...
Sorry Excuse #1Sent to an island at Batam for YEP course (read: beach, sea breeze, jet ski!)
Tiniest Island Award: the island is the size of the Central Forum in NUS. 5 minutes to STROLL around the island.
Island of Worthy Mention: another island half the size of Tiniest Island which is accessible only during low tide.
Best Supporting Low Tide: never have I seen low tide so low that I could make my way to another island via a path which miraculously appeared.
Best Cinematography: saw the fireworks going off in Spore from the tiny island!
Best Imitation of Movie Scene: "I'm flying!!" got to sneak up to the top deck of the ferry on the way back to Spore and the strong winds and endless view of the horizon was way better than the lousy stuffy cabins down under. Only drawback? Raindrops can cause some serious damage when travelling at high speed.
Sorry Excuse #2Interviews for YEP are almost over... have been rushing from Engin to Central Lib and back and forth for the past few days, replacing meals with snacks and sandwiches from the amazing vending machine and even forgetting to eat.
Most Memorable Interviewee:
*late for almost 15 min, her interview slot was officially over*
*strolls in*
*no apologies*
*pass us application form*
She: oh.. i haven fill finish
Us: *trying hard to be friendly* its ok.. (*me already pissed off*)
Me: have you been on YEP before?
She: *stare* no.
Me: so do you know what our project is about?
She: *hesitate* ya. whatever that was written on that IVLE annoucement.
I cant rememeber what went on after this point in time cause I was seriously doing all I can to not smash her face into the glass table.
But well... makes for an interesting story. only regret was that I was being too nice. should have whacked her.. wasted!
