Short Temper & Crazy Ideas

Probably because the service was damn lousy. We were told to look for our own table and we walked up & down the damn place only to be told that the bigger tables cannot be use as we only have 4 people. The attitude sux. Probably because my dad still walked back when I told him that we should just go to the other shop. Probably because I was really tired despite the coffee and tea I drank in the morning and afternoon. But these are no excuse for the fact that I told the person there to "forget it" in a bad attitude. It escalated into a small argument. Although I had the support of my family (they later told me that I shldn't have done as they heard of youths being killed there), I felt that I did wrong myself. I could have handled the situation with more patience. But I did not. The decision was made in a split second and all those learnings of effective communications etc. were tossed outof the mind. Ha.. i suppose it is another lesson re-learnt.
BUT just a point to make: The service at the first Steamboat store at Marina Bay (The BIG one you see when you alight at the bus stop at the arcade) is extremely lousy. Go to the other 2. In fact, go to the next one u see after the bowling alley cuz (lol) the boss treated us to a jug of lime juice after my dad gave him a cigarette while smoking (cuz he was out of it).

I have been having some crazy ideas lately. First, to ride a scooter to Uni! Lol. That will mean that I have to go for a bike course (which i have tot of despite not really wanting to ride a bike). Anyway, I casually mentioned to my mom and the first answer I got was, " You siao arh. I got car at home you don't want to drive. Drive scooter for what." In a more youngster version, it will sound as, "You must be crazy. I got car at home you don't want to drive. Drive scooter for F***." That dashed my whole idea. Anyway, I think it is just a short-lived passion which I just might follow through the biking course if I sign up for it.

The second was kinda inspired by the MV I saw this morning (cao ge one). I always say that I have nothing against gays, provided they do not come after me. After a recent incident of "attracting the wrong crowd", I can't help but wonder, "why can't I fall for another guy?". And if I somehow become attracted to another guy, will I mind being attached to him? Hmmmmmmm
This may be a result of the blow when a YV guy asked me if I were attached. Lol. Forget it. I am NOT going around looking for guys!

Finally, heng arh~ the boy whom I talked to 2 weeks ago, continue to come for the prog. Haha.. Had a casual conversation with him when he was tired and resting. He appeared to be very very concerned with going into the army. WTH.. He has got another 8 yrs to go!

quotes

"You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true." - Dr. Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy

'How happy is the little Stone
That rambles in the Road alone,
And doesn't care about Careers
And Exigencies never fears-
Whose Coat of elemental Brown
A passing Universe put on,
And independent as the Sun
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute Decree
In casual simplicity-' - How happy is the little Stone by Emily Dickinson

'This is your last chance.

'Life is no straight and easy corridor along
which we must seek our way,
lost and confused, now and again
checked in a blind alley.

a door will open for us,
not perhaps one that we ourselves
would ever have thought of,
but one that will ultimately
prove good for us.' - A.J.Cronin
