The more I say, the more stuff I shouldn't say. So stressful to talk to people.

Japanese dramas

When I watch japanese dramas and I could catch some of the grammar that I have learnt, the feeling rocks. 'Hey I know that!'

I guess it also applies to learning in schools. Applying what we learned to real life, that's where the joy of learning comes.

Tweet

One of my female friend tweeted, "bras are more expensive than clothes, so men should learn how to appreciate them when they sleep with women."

O_o

Just 1 person

It takes just 1 person to cause problems.

1 person to jump onto the MRT track to inconvenience thousands of people.

1 person to stand on the right side of an escalator to block everyone behind the person.

1 person to cycle in the middle of the road and block all the cars behind the person.

1 person to take part in unprotected extra marital sex and bring grief to the person's family.

1 person to bomb a place or to carry out mass killings to cause chills to run in everyone.

But it also take

1 person to touch the world. Mother Theresa.

1 person to teach the world. The girl who fell in a race but picked herself up and continue to win the race.

1 person to save thousands. The doctor who went to teach the mid-wifes in China so that many babies and mothers won't die in childbirth.

Are you saying 1 person is insignificant?

My sentiments.

Opinions

Was reading through my friends' tweets and saw this tweet forwarded, which was criticising a guy's fashion sense.

In one tweet, you say one should not jump to conclusions. In another tweet, you are criticising other's dressing such as wearing sports shoes and saying one should show respect to the girl.

Isn't this being hypocritical, because you are already jumping to conclusions? Could there be other reasons other than disrespect that the guy is wearing sports shoes? Do the tweeter know the reason? For example, being flat footed myself, there are lack of shoes that cater to people like me and most shoes that cater to flat footed people are sports shoes or do not have good fashion sense. Now does the tweeter know that?

How about asking that girl dress down to suit the guy instead? Sorry, it takes 2 hands to clap. Instead of criticising one party, should praise the girl for looking beyond superficial stuff like fashion. Superficial tweeter. For you will get a superficial partner too.

First Pre-Advance Class

Yesterday night was the first lesson for my Pre-advance 1 class. It is only for a duration of 1.5 hours unlike the Beginner and the Intermediate which are 3 hours per lesson. So this lesson seemed fast and short. Well, I got a culture shock. First of all, my classmates were from the same class previously, I guess, because when they were introducing themselves, they were like facing me. Hmmm....... ok I feel outcasted. and there were 7 people including me and so I do not have a partner as so to speak...... so I felt like a sore thumb. more sian.

Anyway, the teacher is also different and he spoke way too fast and he mumbles!! So I was like huh huh huh? especially when he asked me questions. I'm like 'what did you just say?????' but i dont dare to ask him to repeat cos no-one else actually asked him to repeat! so paiseh if I asked him to repeat....... my classmates seemed zai leh!! stressed liao.... STRESSED!! hopefully by 5th week, i can understand him or something.... *cross fingers*

頑張ります！

Experiences in HK

didnt post anything about my hk trip. so i shall do so now.

It was an interesting trip, i would say. I only have been there for like 5 hours the previous time, when it was just a stopover from s.korea.

People say HK is just like SG with all the tall buildings and the shopping but i would defer. If you have stayed in SG for long, you would have realised how orderly SG is and how messy HK is. some people may find the messiness of the HK buildings interesting but if you are a resident, you would have much frustration, i think. Everything is all over the place! You really need to search your way around to get your stuff. One thing to appreciate about Singapore, you know where to get your stuff and how to get there.

HK is very colourful with all the lights but I guess this is because of the urban planning or the lack of it, which allows them to have all kinds of things hanging on the buildings. Of course, an interesting sight to tourists. I saw a sign that writes 'Underwear' and the sign is so huge that you just cant miss it. That is soooooo weird. Underwear here!! lol.

Food is everywhere but we spend a long time trying to find the food that we want to eat and that is the dim sum! I thot they say dim sum is everywhere but what i see is noodles and rice everywhere! hmmm..... in the end, after we ask the filipino in charge of our hostel (which is surprising to us), we finally went to a cheap dim sum restaurant on our last day. phew.

now the time to complain! I met a horribly rude Indian father in HK!! OMG!! I was at the Peak looking at the scenery and then there is this Indian father who used his hand to gesture to me and said in his exact words "Hey you! come here!" Can you imagine?!?!?! Who on earth would respond to that? but i did. Dumb me. I guess I was just too nice to reject him but I should have given him a piece of my mind. I am a tourist, you know!! He wanted me to take photos for his family. And guess what, he was not happy with my shots and then he kept asking me to take photos like I was his servant or something. Seriously, where's the please and thank yous?!?! argh. cant believe such a rude guy can exist. *rolleyes*

but of course, there are nice people around, esp the locals though their service can be lacking. Asked me and my friend to take photos for them but they asked us in cantonese, maybe thinking we are locals. real weird. got this granny asked me to explain a supermarket poster to her. hmmm... thankfully, I didnt ga-bra or something... think she still think i'm a local. lol. then got this group of sec school kids would say '1,2,3 thank you' to me after i help them leh. so cute! well there are nice people and not nice people around. shall not let my mood be affected by the not-nice people. life is bigger than them.

yap, that sums up my HK trip. interesting but I think I was bored quickly. I prefer more interactions during the trip where I can go with many friends and talk nonsense. talking nonsense during overseas trips is more interesting than just sightseeing. =P
