Pensive Mood

I was quite busy with work recently.
In a foul mood most of the time too.
No… And it is not because of that time of the month!
I tend to get really upset if things don’t go well.

Also, little things that "aunties" do,
Like crossing the road too slowly,
Will also cause me to relive my driving test experience.
I got very agitated after that.

Plus, it was a really hot week,
The temperature is almost above 30 degrees most of the time,
And I couldn’t sleep very well in this heat.
Geez~~ I am becoming a really "hot" tempered person.
Okay, cold shower, cold shower…

Ahhhh!! So much better after shower :-)
But while I was soaping myself, I was thinking,
What am I?
A lousy engineer, earning a meagre income.
Can’t even clothe myself, let alone buy a car.
Har? Talk about cars again!?!
Okay okay, I will stop… But only for this entry. *Wink!

When we are in school, one of the favourite essay topics was:
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Guess what? I have tried writing about being a teacher, policewoman, doctor, lawyer, scientist, bus driver (no kidding!), librarian (I know, boring right?), nurse, seamstress, beauty queen (World peace, yay!!), even a baker!
But I never never want to be an engineer!
How ironic! / sad?

I took Home Economics in Secondary 1 and 2.
I can sew, bake and arrange furniture,
But I did not become a seamstress, or a baker, or an interior designer?!!

Then I took Biology, Physics and Chemistry in Secondary 3 and 4.
I didn’t do well in Chemistry…
(This probably explains why I have no luck with the opposite sex… Anyway~)
But I scored for my Biology.
I did not even become a doctor, nurse, or even a vet!
Haiz~~!!

So, what did I become?
A lousy engineer!!
*Afternote: Was it the Physics?

First Attempt

Funny thing happened.
Was thinking about my upcoming driving test.
I wasn’t as anxious as the previous time.
Guess the thrill of passing the test on the first attempt is gone.
Haiz~~!
What’s so rare about getting the license on the second, third or even fourth attempts?

New breed of aunties

After my episode with the auntie in the Matrix,
I really have no patience with aunties at all.

Scene 1
On a crowded bus, I was standing.
Duh, no seats lah.
When the bus is approaching a stop, the auntie seated shove my behind,
So that she could squeeze in front of me and alight first.
Alas, the bus has to stop at a junction,
So yours truly has to contort myself in a awkward manner, just to accommodate the auntie in front.
At last the door opens, and the auntie alights.
She then slowly makes her way to the MRT station.
What the ...?
If you have so much time, why do you have to squeeze to get off the bus first?
Is the bus going to explode if you don't get off within XX seconds??

Scene 2
MRT train station platform.
After the train doors open.
Different auntie makes a beeline for the escalator.
She manages to step on the moving stairs on the right first,
And she just stood there!!
The commuters are unable to walk past this auntie at all.
You know singaporeans, we are sometimes too polite to ask.
So all of us are patiently standing on the moving stairs...
Hello~~! The right of the escalator is for people who are really in a hurry,
And wishes to walk down / or up the escalators.
Not efficient at all.

These aunties should be sent for further studies on social economics.
How to behave properly in public places...
!#$%^&*!@

Bird Sh*t!

One of my colleague got a new car.
He was puzzled;
Why does his vehicle have spots of bird droppings,
And the adjacent car is spotless?

Then he offered an answer:
A leader bird come along and sh*ts.
Landed on his car.
The bird then went back to the tree and tell the other birds,
"I have marked the spot with my dropping, all of you can go sh*t there!"
So the top of the car ended up with not only one spot of droppings, but several spots.
Wahahahahaha!!! Very funny hor~!

What if I can train a bird that will sh*t on demand?
Imagine... When it is flying over a Black Matr*x,
I will just issue a command,
And the bird will decorate the car with its wonderful excretion!
Great idea huh?? I think so too!
Wahahahahaha!!

However my dad think otherwise.
He said it will be easier to train a monkey to scratch cars, than a bird to sh*t!
(I think to bring a monkey out will be too eye-catching.)
Anyway, will update if I have some more "bright" ideas.
Wahahaha~~!

Feeling better already, thank you

Went to STS for testing today.
I have learned not to care too much,
It may be harmful to your health.
If you care, you would want things to go well.
If things dun go well, you get angry.
If you get angry, you live a shorter life.
What the ...?

Anyway, I curbed my anger today.
(So proud of myself!)
Come what may...
Things did go as planned,
So there isn't any reason for me to get angry at all.
Happier things, happier things...

Went to Autobacs with a fellow colleague and the customer during lunchtime.
Man! The guys just went berserk once they went into the store.
(For those non-motorcar junkies out there,
Autobacs is one of the biggest car accessories store in Spore.)
I wanna sleep there!
** Did I say that out loud?
There are soooo many things to see!
Actually, I am as excited as them. Hee~
And I dun even own a car yet! Drats!

I love cars. I love cars. I love cars.
Well, except the Matrix.
Looking forward to my driving lessons, starting next month.
Pity my favourite driving instructor is no longer teaching manual cars...
(He is teaching auto cars right now, and I am taking a manual car license.)
Geez, I miss him lots.

Monday night.
Desperate housewives is on. Yey~

Black Hyund*i M*trix owners are bad drivers

No offence.

But it seems that way lei.
Friends and colleagues started looking out for this particular model of car after they heard about my plight.
Everyone seems to have a story to share.
Experiences don’t lie.

1. My own experience during my driving test. Read about it here.

2. My colleague’s experience with a reckless and impatient driver-bully, driving a … black Hyund*i M*trix.

3. Saw a road accident sometime back in Feb 2005, at YCK MRT station, involving a double-decker bus and a … You have guess it, black Hyund*i M*trix.

Is the car jinxed?
Or people who happened to like that car, reckless, impatient and stupid?
Okay, the car is not expensive, so lots of people can afford it.
So there are plenty of them on the roads.
Maybe I/we are really unlucky to meet the handful of them who are really bad drivers.
Omigosh! I feel like a saint when I said that. O:-P

I love the VW Beetle.
I hope people who love Beetle are kind, patient and considerate.
:-) right. But I couldn’t afford a car, even if I dun eat, drink or buy clothes.
I can barely feed myself with my mere salary.
And there are so many black Hyund*i M*trixes on the roads.
D*mn!

I am a bad girl.

That’s right.
I can’t control my temper nowadays.
I just throw my temper at a fellow colleague.
Man, this guy doesn’t plan at all…
I know he is busy and everything,
And things will sometimes go wrong,
But at least please plan your work schedule properly
And not have people wait for you always.
This is not the first time it is happening.

D*mn! What’s happening to me?
I am not like that at all.
I don’t like the "me" now.
In fact, I hate the "me" now.
Okay, I will behave myself next week.
I must behave myself next week.
I feel myself turning into a ugly witch.
Heehee… Want a taste of my poisoned apples?

Gosh! What’s happening to me?
I am turning into this horrid person and I can still crack jokes about it.
Well-meaning friends put it down to stress.
But I have handle more stress than this before.
So it can’t be stress, right?
I certainly hope not.

I know, it may be due to a lack of sleep.
It showed on my face, pimples!!
I have three really big ones.
Oxy 5, where are you when I need you?

Tired...

Gimme a few minutes to whine about work.
Worked till 8.30pm last night.
Cold and hungry.
It’s a wonder why I haven’t fainted at all.
Sheer grit and strength. Ha~
Anyway, nobody cared, because they have more important things to do.
And I was given the most important task,
Accompany the customer, in a boring EMC test lab.
So important until I must stay there and not do anything else.
I dun have to write reports, attend meetings, eat, drink, pee...
For the whole 5 days.
Mmm... So blessed.

I am not a very confident woman nowadays.
I dunno. I get confused easily.
I can be in a daze for a few seconds during a conversation, and then go, "Huh?"
D*mn! What is happening to me?
Guess I am not a very good worker.
I am not a very good colleague either.
I am not a very good 'anything'.
Wonder if I would ever say,
"I can’t lei, I need to take care of my father."
And go home.
I can’t say it.
I dunno why.
I dunno anything nowadays.

D*mn! I missed driving.
Yeah, even after the accident.
I still missed driving.
Guess it’s a form of relaxation for me??
I dunno.
I dunno anything.

Locomotion

Went shopping yesterday.
Guess what I bought.


A choo-choo-train set!


Close up

So happy!

Come on baby, do the locomotion

Round and round the tracks,
Under the tunnel,
Over the bridge.

Blog later, gotta go back to my train…

Star Wars

Just finished watching tv, I have.

Hate aunties, I will not.

Continue driving, I must.

Pass the driving test, I will.

So much fun talking like Yoda, it is.

Favourite car

My favourite car...

Actually I am learning how to post pics to this blog.
Well, the beetle dun look too bad, right?
Heehee...
