Just caught Harry Potter with Yap Seng, Haniel and Sueann. Haha I don’t know why there are so many people out there who says that it was trash, I thought it was somewhat enjoyable! Maybe it’s because I can hardly remember anything from the book so I didn’t have the book to stand as a comparison… The only scenes that looked somewhat familiar to me were the Unbreakable Vow bit, the water zombies in the cave and Dumbledore’s death, everything else seemed totally new to me (I was wondering if the birds that Hermione aimed at Ron & the scene where the Weasley house caught on fire really happened in the book, I guess they were). Wasn’t there supposed to be a memory of Snape’s though? About being bullied? Or was that in another book? I’ve forgotten. I just wanted to see more Snape-time
But anyway, every one knows that the book is always 10 times better than the movie, so why do they still get their expectations up so high? Just judge both independently and you’ll get to enjoy both! There are better (not really the right word but I can’t find any other adjective) things to be pissed off about than movie adaptations anyway.
MRT Dipshit
Okay, some people informed me that it’s “kana” not “kena”, sorry for the mistake
Well, apparently in last night’s news, it was broadcasted that stricter measures will be implemented in terms of food and drink consumption on the train/buses. Unfortunately I didn’t watch the news last night, because I got total shit for it today. I was on the train to school today and took a sip of water, suddenly this MRT patrol dude with really disgusting oily hair approached me and told me I wasn’t supposed to do that, from what I inferred from his incoherent mumbling.
Then, he asked for my student ID. I was blur at the time because well, it was 6.30 in the morning, and I didn’t know about the news. In hindsight, I should have splashed my water into the guy’s dipshit face. Then! He said he had to write me up or something, he couldn’t seem to articulate properly and I get really pissed off with people who can’t talk properly, especially at 6.30 in the morning. That and what the fuck man, it was clear that this guy was just enjoying throwing his weight around, because well I guess there isn’t much to do for a MRT patrol guy. He could have let me off with a warning, because clearly I didn’t watch the news last night and for God’s sake, I’m a student. What if a primary school kid drank water on the train? Is he going to fine the kid as well? Dipshit.
So he was about to fine me. For sipping plain water on the train. Luck was on my side though, a GP teacher from my school saw what was happening and asked Dipshit what was going on. With his fucking mumbling, he told the teacher that he was about to fine me for drinking on the train. The teacher said, “Well clearly she didn’t manage to watch the news last night or she would’ve known, and she’s only drinking plain water.” Dipshit continued mumbling that he was still going to fine me anyway. I really should have thrown water in his face. The teacher said, “Okay, I’ll take care of it, she’s still a student” and got back my EZ link card from Dipshit. After Dipshit was gone, the teacher gave me back my card and said, “I saved you 30 bucks!” Man I’m really thankful for him, I really was lucky.
I wasn’t really bothered by it at first, I just continued chatting with my friend on the train. But as the day progressed and I thought about it, I realized, shit, I’m pissed off. That Dipshit was clearly just throwing his weight around, I mean, fining a student for sipping plain water? Did he really expect everyone in Singapore to know of this reinforced measure overnight? That Dipshit is obviously incapable of allowing common sense to prevail over his eager-beaver urge to blindingly follow his duties. Either he’s that much of a little pathetic sheep or he just relishes in throwing his power and authority around, both options make him equally pathetic.
Dipshit.
Kena Sai
I keep saying “kena sai” these few days in place of the usual “bloody hell”, I don’t know why. I don’t think I really use it correctly too, but I just like to say it anyway… I think it sounds more shiok to say “kena sai”?! Maybe it’s because of the ‘k’ sound, sounds more crass, so more frustration can be vented through the word. Sigh.
So. School has been totally kena sai these few days (is it used correctly?!) because it turns out that Saturday lit lectures are now regular and permanent, along with other things, ahhhh kena sai kena sai. I guess that shows how much we’re lagging behind for lit, we still have Herland to go through. Isn’t that like totally against the 5-day-rule thing? Or was it implemented so long ago that everyone kind of ignores it now. How the heck are we gonna self-study or do our homework or even sleep like that. Grh. Kena sai.
Another “kena sai”-worthy issue is P.E. It’s compulsory for those who didn’t get a gold or silver for NAPFA. As it is common knowledge, I have as much or probably even less stamina than the average obese American, and nothing can be done to render it otherwise. That’s just the way it is, since the day I took my 1.6km NAPFA in primary 3 (or was it primary 4?). So the school needs us sports-failures to retake NAPFA just rake up their gold & silver scores for them to boast about, since every school needs to state its gold & silver percentage. Since I’ve already taken the test and I passed, I think it’s reasonable for me to decide not to take the stupid test again. Apply common sense please: If I’ve been this unfit since I was 9, I’m still going to be unfit in a month, people. There’s no such thing as “conditioning” for this body here. Thus, I will be ponning every P.E lesson. Bite me, school policy.
The strict H1N1 measures in school are also toeing the “kena sai” line for me. Like new seating arrangements and splitting up all the tables is going to help curb the spread of germs, if I sneeze on the person sitting 35cm away from me, the person will still get it right?! Okay this isn’t really a bitching-worthy issue but it’s starting to get on my nerves.
School is ending everyday at like 6.30 too, with useless long breaks in the middle, so that’s definitely worthy of a “kena sai” curse. I think we’ll die from exhaustion first before getting H1N1. I ponned GP lesson too, so I hope I won’t get shit for that.
Sorry for all the angst, but KENA SAI.
I woke up this morning with mysterious tiny but extremely painful cuts on the fingertips of 3 fingers on the right hand. What the heck did I touch? :S
Hearing Problems
In the canteen…
Me: Let’s go somewhere to study?
Amanda: Huh? Mangoes are pissed off?
LOL
So my cold escalated to a fever, went to my family doctor and super extreme measures in place man. They split the clinic into two (flu zone and non-flu zone) and had this really kan-chiong woman manning the front counter, taking the temperature of every patient, fill out loads of forms, distribute face masks to everyone and blah blah blah.
Anyway, if it’s H1N1, results will come back within a couple of days, if it isn’t then the results won’t come back so soon. Which means 2 days MC + weekend + No exams on Monday = 5 day holiday, whoohoo.
