I haven’t updated properly in a while, I’m just gonna list it out.
1. I dreamt that I was stranded in a strange, dilapidated store that sold everything from CDs to stationary. So I bought a really cool ruler that could bend in any way possible (hmm there should be one in real life, it would be great for drawing curves) and a couple of albums by Def Leppard and Metallica. Then suddenly I was in a huge khaki-coloured Cadillac. Levin was driving, ZW was in the passenger seat, Monique and I were eating yogurt in the backseat while I admired my ruler. We wanted to get out, but it was raining really heavily, so I grabbed an umbrella which turned out to be broken anyway, and we ran into a canteen and met the rest of the class. While eating, a humongous monkey (in my dream it was called a Sloot Monkey. Wiki says it doesn’t exist though, it suggested ’slow monkey’ wtf) climbed up a tree, jumped onto our table and ate all our food. We all screamed.
Can’t really remember what else happened, but I think I died at some point.
2. A conversation I had with my dad before my law interview –
Dad: You know, when the interviewers ask you if you have any questions, you have to ask a good question!
Me: Yeah I know, like what?
Dad: Hmm.. You should quote Aristotle! *ponders for a while* Ah! Say, ‘Aristotle once said, politics is the master of the land, well I think it can be rephrased to, law is the master of the land.’
Me: Uh, but that’s not a question (and besides, it’s an incredibly douchey thing to say)
Dad: Okay, ‘Aristotle once said, politics is the master of the land, I think it can be rephrased to, law is the master of the land, WHAT DO YOU THINK?’
Me: What?! I really don’t think they’re referring to those kind of questions…
Dad: You gotta be philosophical to stand out from the crowd! You can’t ask stuff like, ‘Oh what are my chances of getting into law’ (at this point, my mom piped up from the background, ‘NEVER ASK THAT!’) or what career options there are, you’ll sound superficial!
Me: Yeah but… Quoting Aristotle’s stupid.
Dad: Okay okay I know, you should say, ‘Hmm after this interview, I am wondering what exactly do I search for in the career of law, I guess this is a question that I should actually pose to myself instead of asking you.’
Me: *facepalm*
And my dad is a political science lecturer with a Ph.D.
Needless to say, I didn’t quote Aristotle during my interview.
3. I went for a few of my dad’s political science tutorials too, to beef up on my knowledge on Singapore politics. I was looking forward to it because he’s always telling me hilarious stories about his students saying stupid things, it always causes him “Brain damage” as he calls it. Plus, he insisted that his classes are “Awe.some.” (that’s how he pronounces it – stressing on both syllables to emphasize just how awesome he is)
It turns out that I think most of his students are actually pretty bright and passionate about Singapore politics, but I’ll just talk about the bimbotic moments because it’s more interesting that way.
In the second tutorial, where the majority of the day’s bimbotic moments occured, my dad was talking about street level bureaucrats and how they’re extremely important in portraying a good image of the government to maintain a good relationship between the government and the people. Whenever he threw out any questions related to politics to the class, the class would keep quiet and avoid all eye contact. But then the topic somehow meandered into the subject of the quality of service in Singapore, at this point sleepy heads tilted up upon sensing that a bitching session about Singapore was in order.
Dude with a motorcycle helmet: Yah, you know, whenever I get a parking ticket, I curse the gah-men!
Bimbo #1: Recently right, Zhang Ziyi came to Singapore and she wanted to go into one of the shops at like 10pm, but the service staff refused to let her in because it’s closing time already and Zhang Ziyi was very angry. So I think the service in Singapore is quite bad because they don’t even let the VIPs enjoy special privileges and it gives a very bad impression about Singapore. I think the service in Thailand and Indonesia is so much better.
Bimbo #2 (girlfriend of Dude with motorcycle helmet): *tries to be analytical* I think this is subjective. Personally, I’ve encountered very bad service in Thailand and Indonesia! So some people may get good service in Singapore, some don’t.
Rest of the bimbos: *nods their heads*
Me: *facepalm*
4. My Omnia has already run out of space for my music 
What the hell, this is already 8GB of music? This is only half of what I want to put inside! I hate having to delete songs to make space for new ones. I can’t fit in the discography of The Beatles, this sucks.
5. The Buzzcocks are awesome.
6. Getting a Formspring account seems to be the new trend – I see people incessantly posting on Facebook or on their blogs to ask them questions, which is getting irritating because it’s yet another medium for people to boost their own ego by satisfying the need to share every detail of their lives to everyone who is willing to listen, along with twitter and whatever else. Oh wait, I guess blogs are counted too. Oops. Haha.
Hooo, I haven’t bitched in a long time. It really helps to cope with the stress.
