I am still so amused by the kebab scene in Hero. Hehheh.

面子是人家给的，脸是自己丢的。

Saw that quote somewhere just now. And that is precisely why I do not like to open my mouth. And I really did not need a reminder of that. Hai.

YOU ARE ENTITILED TO YOUR WRONG OPINION

Saw this on a vehicle just now. Haha. Wanted to take a photo but the bus I was on had to stop.

I was in CD Rama just now and I saw this album that said John Stevens with the side view of a face that I couldn't recognise and I wondered if it was that John Stevens from American Idol. It was. I didn't even know he had an album. Was quite surprised. And I bought it. Oops..squandering money... I liked his voice when he was in American Idol. Too bad he seems to be only able to sing one genre. But I still like his voice. He's a young old man. Ha.

Was late for my very first lecture. Oops. I shall be hardworking starting tonight, wednesday night. Cos I have no lessons on Thursday so no distractions. After all, it's my life I'm screwing up...

I hope I won't be too busy this sem to study hard.. Almost forgotten what it's like to study hard. Was giving tuition just now (thank god she is really finally improving, though still quite slow) and was thinking how in jc yr1 I was so hardworking-ly doing math questions in tys from early afternoon till it was dark in my room. I was practically doing all the questions in the chapter. And then I remember the moment I looked at my A level results. Haii.......... I still remember Cat Ang (Econs teacher) was so so happy with my econs results. She was so excited when we were queuing up to get our slip. She asked me if I had a tutor (which sounded kinda foreign to me cos I never had a tutor) and she gave me such a big hug. I was thinking if I got a C and she is this excited then I'll be damn insulted. Haha. Hai I wish I got A for math and B for econs instead... Wah lao I really experienced a mini "qing tian pi li" loh. I guess I should have prepared myself for that ba. I was only prepared to do badly for the other subjects. I think I disappointed my math teacher too. Sian. Argh. So frustrating.

Oh this morning I suddenly remembered I still owe Chee Kiang cd. Oops. I don't think he's going to get it from me after all.. Very paiseh and awkward to give him now also. And I don't think I remember my construction details to finish it. Don't want him to use it as bad example anyway. =P

Shall go to sleep now...

Hot pink taxi sightings!

Today I saw a hot pink taxi! Ok, technically that was yesterday. Don't recall if I've seen it in Singapore before. Reminded me of the hot pink taxis in Bangkok. I think I was the only one fascinated by them. Ha.. Bangkok roads are so much more colourful cos of their bright coloured taxis. There were, as mentioned, Hot Pink (heh), red, bright green, bright orange, yellow-and-green, red-and-blue, etc.. Happy colours. Ha. Xx was saying they are representative of their gay culture. I prefer to call it their colourful culture.. Oh! We happened to take one of the hot pink taxis. How fun. Haha.

Small talk is excruciating...
Why is small talk so necessary to make new friends?
