First Day In School...As A Teacher !

Well… Tis is a popular topic among NIE ppl… Our TA (Teaching Assistantship) starts today. Which means -> End Of Holidays ! Sobz… Haiz… so sad… cun really sleep well last nite (used to sleeping late during holidays liao, then when I tried to sleep early, turned out worse, cun sleep at all)… n then I woke up at 530am tis morning… aiyo 530am leh… wat a torture…

When I opened my wardrobe tis morning, choices are limited… well… I’m not really a formal-wear type of guy, I am the singlet-bermudas-slippers sort of guy so there isn’t much office wear except those last time poly attachment left behind ones, so pathetic… well… there’s a dark blue shirt, a light blue one n a PINK one… omg… still dun remember how it got there in the 1st place… the dark blue shirt makes me look like a SALESMAN, light blue like a BUS DRIVER n the pink one makes me look umm… gentle? Hahaha… In the end, I opted for the salesman look… !#$%^&*!!!

Before leaving the house, I looked into the mirror n began practicing the “serious look”… well… I failed terribly, even laff at the idiot in the mirror… forget it… haiz… TO SCHOOL !!!

General Comment For 1st Day At School -> “Nuah”

Job Scope -> Sitting at the back of the class trying to stay awake, smiling at students

Highlights Of The Day

1) A Pri 2 boy juggled an apple to entertain me, I laff, he laff…
2) Ate a plate of mee rebus (onli $1.20, cheap) in the canteen for almost 2 hours, to wait for school to finish so I can off work…
3) Walked around the school during my free time (a lot of free time) trying to pose as the discipline master or something… hahaha…
4) Reached home before 2pm… much earlier than I expected… GREAT !

Roller-Coaster Ride (In A Cab)

U know how a lot of cab drivers like to chit-chat wif their passengers when they are driving? Some of them are friendly, others purely annoying. Well… I met one rather “interesting” driver today.

This uncle was apparently trying beri hard to strike up a conversation wif me ( I tink he’s too bored, caught him dozing off while waiting at the taxi stand, he’s quite surprised when I suddenly opened the cab door ). He kept babbling on n on in hokkien and I kept up a polite front by responding occasionally wif nods and smiles. After a while, he seemed to notice I’m not really beri interested so he started to ask me questions instead.

The following conversation is in part hokkien, part Chinese but I translate to English ( I cun really type hokkien… if any of u knows how, u can enlighten me)

Cab Driver: “Ah Dee, u understand hokkien anot? U understand wat I been saying hor?”
Me: “ Ya, I can listen n understand hokkien but I cun speak tat well. I Cantonese.”
Cab Driver: “Oh Cantonese ah…I know Cantonese oso. Earlier say lah…”

And then he continued his babbling IN HOKKIEN for THE REST OF THE JOURNEY. Um…I tink he din really get the point.

Well…Nv mind. Language barrier aside…His topics were really umm….inappropriate. He was telling me tat recently traffic police like to summon and fine cab drivers. Then he said tat he kana 3 summons tis few days. 2 for SPEEDING, 1 for IGNORING RED LIGHT. Then he went on to describe how he NEARLY GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT YESTERDAY. How he expect me to respond? Praise him for being a “safety driver”? Or show admiration for his driving skills? Maybe I shld juz say “Uncle, u damn heng ah… drive until lidat oso nv die ah.”

And then… as thou he really wanted to make me speechless, he took out a LARGE piece of paper containing written records of where n when he kana booked, opened it up n LAID IT ACROSS THE STEERING WHEEL ( n his hands were on the paper, not on the steering wheel, BOTH HANDS ! )

My tots are in * *, actions in ( )

Cab Driver: “Blah blah blah…” (not really listening to him, looking at the road in anxiety)
Me: “Ya…” * hands on the wheel, uncle *
Cab Driver: “Blah blah blah…”
Me: “Um… Oic…” * look in front, uncle *
Cab Driver: “Blah blah blah blah….”
Me: “Really ah?” * dun look at me uncle, look at the road, THE ROAD ! *
Cab Driver: “Ya loh… Hahaha…”
Me: “Haha…” (really RIGID smile) * !#$%^&@#$%^!!! *

Well… luckily I managed to survive the ride home w/o any mishap ( otherwise I wun be blogging here liao ) :p

The Paradox Of Life

If a person tells u “I am lying”, is he telling the truth or a lie? If he’s telling the truth, then he TRULY is lying so how can he be telling the truth? If u say he’s lying, then he’s lying tat he’s lying which means he’s telling the truth. Either way u see it, the sentence itself is contradictory. This is known as a paradox.

Actually, many decisions or situations in life are juz like paradoxes. How many times in life have u faced a situation where every possible alternative seems to be WRONG? A question in life with no answer? Or a dilemma where u cun satisfy everyone or worse anyone? Facing a crossroad in life where all paths seems to lead to nowhere? Sounds familiar?

Well… Harsh fact of life is : Not all questions have answers, not all problems have solutions. Face it, tat’s the truth. A lot of people like to rack their brains, argue, get all emotionally worked-up, some even fall into state of depression or nervous breakdown juz to get the PERFECT solution to their problems. Well… somebody should tell them to wake up their ideas coz there really isn’t one… Nobody’s PERFECT, nothing’s PERFECT, no solution is PERFECT.

Maybe some would agree tat being PERFECT is abit too unrealistic and would settle for a BEST solution instead. Well… Sorry to say, there isn’t one either. Let me explain… for a solution to be the BEST, tat means it has to yield the best results as compared to the other alternatives. However, u wun know the outcomes of the other possible solutions becoz u nv actually attempted them coz u acted according to ur “best” solution. Tat’s the part abt decision making, u make a decision, u forgo the rest, otherwise it’s not called a decision. So theoretically, there isn’t a BEST solution or decision.

Sometimes, doing the “right thing” can be wrong. Sometimes, u nid to hurt someone to help another. Sometimes, the “wrong” decision can make people happy while the “right” one can antagonize everyone. So who’s to judge wat’s right n wrong? Who’s to decide wat’s the BEST thing to do? Juz follow ur heart, make ur own decisions, bear the consequences of ur own actions n dun regret…

A decision leading to failure may not always be the wrong one, the other course of action may lead u to something worse… U juz never know…

The Cup And The Zoo

Haven’t been blogging for a few days… Tink my lazy nature is starting to show AGAIN… Hahaha… Here’s a SUMMARISED post for this few days.

WORLD CUP FEVER !!! The much anticipated event kicked off the day b4 on 9th June… One month of sleepless nitez for many football fans out there. I am currently still struggling to resist the temptation to join the crowd by stubbornly refusing to sign up for the starhub pay-per-view (I dun haf SCV at home) n rejecting all offers from frenz to join them at their place for overnite football parties. Reason? Well… i juz dun wan tis overnite-watching-football thingy to affect my daily social life (old liao, cun really tahan staying awake overnite nowadays, will most probably concuss the whole of next day) n I’m trying to cut down on soccer betting for tis world cup (I still bet but less) n somehow I tink watching the game makes me more tempted to bet more… No I dun haf a gambling problem or anything lidat… neither do I suddenly reach enlightenment n try to turn good… there’s no particular reason… I juz DUN FEEL LIKE betting… i am a person who follows my heart… do things by FEEL… no FEEL, do things oso not shiok… but I still check the news everyday for world cup updates, results etc… muz stay in touch or will become mountain tortoise… Lucky Channel 5 will broadcast 4 matches (opening, semis n final) which I tink is enuff for me… 4 sleepless nites out of one month is still reasonable, I tink…

Went to the ZOO yesterday… yes u did not read wrongly, I repeat… I went to the ZOO yesterday. Long time nv go liao… last time I went is around secondary school days (should be, cun really remember, bad memory)… nv really change much from my vague memory of it… I like the white tigers the most, they are so beautiful… pure white fur with blue eyes… oh my gosh… the blue eyes look so stunning against the white fur… Haf a look at my MSN pic (as of 11th June, I tink shld change back to some chiobu pic soon) but the eyes aren’t obvious in pictures… Sianz… My dream pet(s) now have a new member – the WHITE TIGER… for those of u who din know, the other members are the wolf, dolphin, penguin, cobra plus ANY creature under the following categories (demons, monsters, aliens but not ghosts, too spooky I dun like)…

B4 ppl start accusing me of being in a cult or something, let me state clearly – I AM NOT ! My religion is Buddhism, not Satanism. It’s juz a personal thingy, u know… Ppl haf different things tat interest them, ppl get excited over different things. Some people like stamps or books (intellectual type), others like clothes n jewellery (women, haha…oops), me… I like demons, monsters, supernatural stuff… U know all (or maybe most) kids haf childhood dreams of wat they wanna be when they grow up? Some wanna become policemen, others doctors, me… I wanna become a VAMPIRE. No… SERIOUSLY, I’m not joking. Of course now tink back feel abit toopid lah… but hey… it’s MY DREAM.

Going to catch the movie “The Omen” today… So excited… Hope it’s not good (a show abt the Devil shldn’t be good, it should be EVIL…hehehe). Here’s the official website for the movie http://www.theomenmovie.com

I’m Feeling An EVIL Vibe Tonight… Hehehehe….

Cried Last Night... Sobs...

Watched a show on channel 5 last nite called "John Q" by Denzel Washington... Beri touching show... It's abt a desperate loving father (Denzel Washington) whose son is dying and nids a heart transplant but the hospital refuses to put his son's name on the transplant list becoz he cun afford to pay for the operation. Out of desperation, he barged into the hospital and took some ppl hostage to demand the hospital to operate on his son. Near the end of the story, he even tried to kill himself so that the doctor can use his heart to save his son. So noble... sobs... I cried... Call me a sissy... I dun care... Who states the rule tat guys cun cry when they are touched or sad? But luckily in the end, it was quite a happy ending so still ok...

But some things to think abt after watching the show :

1)Would u commit a crime to save ur loved ones? Or wld u rather see them die? What wld U do if faced wif such a dilemma?
2)Medical costs are so high in Singapore n many parts of the world. I'm sure there are many ppl who die everyday becoz they could not afford the treatment. So are hospitals ethical when they refuse treatment to ppl who cun pay? Harsh fact of life : When u are POOR, u cun AFFORD to fall sick...
3)I duno whether there's any truth in this but the show mentioned tat some insurance companies collaborate wif doctors to hide the truth abt some illnesses tat clients may haf so they dun haf to pay the high claims... I dun wanna get sued for defamation (they like to sue bloggers recently) so I remain neutral here... But it sure sounds disturbing...

Updated Links

Juz an update... I have added some frens' blog links becoz well... they added mine to their blogs... hahaha... so it's a form of courtesy to link them back... I'm still a newbie in blogging so I duno if it's a common thingy among bloggers to link here link there (abit like friendster hor...). So frenz out there, if ur blog is not on my links, it's not tat i dun treat u as a fren (me so friendly guy), it's juz tat i not sure whether u want me to... coz some ppl may not like strangers to view their blog... i duno... or maybe i juz din know u haf one...

Caught Staring

Went out wif a female fren today when the following incident happened. We were walking along the road when she suddenly jab me in the arm n said “Quick see... Chiobu…” n I was like “Huh? Where?”. Walking towards our direction was a lady ard mid twenties, not tat chio lah (guys n gals haf diff taste in chiobus), but wat’s most prominent were her front assets… they were ahem… quite big… I mean big… Ok why I suddenly shy, THEY WERE HUGE !!! Plus she was wearing those low cut blouse tat revealed a beri DEEP drain… canal… or maybe valley… whatever… u get the point. Then suay suay (or shld I say lucky) juz when she near in front of me, her packet of tissue dropped n SHE BEND DOWN FORWARD TO PICK IT UP. Why I capped the letters is becoz the whole action seemed to be moving in SLOW MOTION during tat moment (damn… I really sound like a pervert here)… I was abit taken back by surprise n being the GENTLEMAN tat I am *pukes* , I did ATTEMPT to turn my eyes away… honest *blinks innocently*, u believe me rite? But somehow, such a sight caused my muscular coordination to drop by 32%, my movement control decreased by 41% n my reaction dulled by almost 50% so resulting in the action of turning my eyes away needing almost 2 seconds to complete. Oh come on…I tried my best. But I turned around n my fren was giving me tat “Eww…u so hamsup” look plus a “I caught u staring” cheeky smile n I replied wif a “wat did I do?” look plus a “I saw nothing” shrug of the shoulders. (u nid to be talented in drama or acting to understand tis actions, for the time being, juz use ur imagination).

Then later we were eating at Mos Burger when she popped the question (not proposal lah, u idiot), “Why do all guys like gals wif big boobs?” n it sparked an 1-hour-long intense debate on boobs between us. Thinking back, I tink it’s really “throw face” loh… Imagine toking abt boobs to a gal in Mos Burger (plus I was drinking MILK… oops… xia4 liu2), I tink the ppl at the side tables muz tink I am a pervert or some dirty old man. For those of u out there who tink I am going to post the contents of our conversation here, u are WRONG. Reasons being :

1) The entire conversation too long… cun remember details… it juz evolves around boobs.
2) Some parts too adult… I too shy *pukes* to post it…
3) MAIN REASON : I juz PURPOSELY DUN WANNA TELL U, make u GIAN… HAHAHAHAHA… Bite Me :P


To Joanna :

Had FUN today… Interesting topic… As a form of appreciation, the following poem is dedicated to U…

Roses Are Red
Violets Are Blue
Her Boobs Are Big
Bigger Than U

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The Truth Abt Shopping

Do u know why there’s a difference btw men and women in shopping pattern? I heard an interesting article on the radio juz now. It says tat tis difference can be traced back to ancient times of early mankind. In those days, men were hunters while women were in charge of gathering berries. So men’s shopping pattern is more like hunting, they know wat they intend to buy and juz move in for the kill while women usually shop around and see if there’s anything they like wif no specific target in mind. Here’s the interesting part… Research shows tat in general, the optimum timing tat a man n woman shld shop 2gether is up to 1 hour 18 minutes. After tat, the chance of conflict increases. So guys, next time ur gf grumbles when u appear reluctant to shop wif her, tis is a good EXCUSE… hahaha.

Juz A Question

First day of blogging… General feedback from ppl is NOTHING… no I dun mean no feedback, I mean they say there’s NOTHING on my blog (which is true)… Haiz… those who know me WELL shld not expect too much since u know how freaking LAZY I am…
Well…to make up for the lack of fanciful images, pretty backgrounds n beautiful pictures (any picture of me wun be BEAUTIFUL anyway), I will TRY to make up for it in content ba… Starting off, juz a question which has really been bugging me for some time… Let’s say a guy is going out wif a gal (I mean in a r/s), but he still tinks of his ex-gf OCCASIONALLY, is it considered a form of BETRAYAL? I tink many gals out there will straight away raise their hands and shout “Ya! Tis guy is a jerk! Kill him!”, but seriously, izzit tat serious? Dun gals tink of their ex-bfs as well? Even if it’s a normal fren, u will sometimes oso tink of him/her one loh, not to mention someone u used to be in love wif… So why do some ppl treat it like such a big sin tat deserves to be condemned to hell?
My point of view… there’s ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG wif tinking abt ur ex-gf/bf… becoz :
1) Many ppl who do so are juz emotional or nian4 jiu4… Ppl who can juz forget completely is either becoz the r/s was a nightmare, the other party did something bad tat juz make them wanna 4get or they are juz plain heartless cruel jerks.
2) There are always fond memories in a r/s where LOVE’s involved and when I say fond, I mean worth remembering. And it’s juz a MEMORY (getting all jealous over a measly MEMORY juz makes u seem like such a petty person)
3) Sometimes, some things cun be forgotten no matter how hard u try. Sometimes, u cun control wat u are tinking, memories juz suddenly come flooding back to u. The brain is a beri complex organ, according to medical studies, bodily functions juz account for a miserable 1% of the whole brain, the remaining 99% are still under research… Ok I’m getting out of point here but u get wat I mean.
However, despite all tat, there are always two sides to a coin… there are some EXCEPTIONS of course. In general, a few rules :
1) Memories are ok but NEVER treat ur current partner as a SUBSTITUTE for ur ex-gf/bf. Tat to me is a SIN.
2) Dun compare. Tat’s the problem wif a lot of ppl… they tink back of their ex(s) and then they start comparing. Kaoz… ren2 bi3 ren2 qi4 si3 ren2. Every person is a unique individual. There’s nothing to compare. Ur ex may haf some qualities worth remembering, ur current may haf others waiting to be discovered.
The above is juz personal opinion. U may disagree, I dun care. U may agree, I dun care. In other words, I juz dun care. Damn… Juz had a slight fright by the toopid advert on tv where the doll suddenly turn the head. Ok… enuff for 1st day’s entry… fingers tired liao (I type using two fingers onli… haha)… Stay tuned for next episode, I mean entry…Nitez.

Tis Blog Is PLAIN... juz like ME

Within 5 seconds of revealing my blog address on msn, I oredi receive complaint tat my blog is too PLAIN. No pics, no design, NOTHING… Ok… I admit… I am juz too bloody LAZY… And tis shld be juz a 3 minute passion thingy… I most likely wld stop blogging by the time the holidays end so I wun be putting much effort in designing tis blog (basically, I juz dun put in much effort for ANYTHING I do in life). Damn… I am EXPLAINING again… something I really hate to do… hey tis blog is working… maybe I am really changing for the beta… hahaha…

Set Things Straight

Ok… Juz to state some things clear up front b4 I actually START blogging… Tis blog’s MAIN purpose is for me to EXPRESS MY TOTS n VENT MY FRUSTRATIONS… I may sound RUDE, OFFENSIVE, SARCASTIC or juz pure DISGUSTING at times but hey… tis is MY BLOG so I’m free to write whatever I like… if u dun like wat u are seeing, pls STOP READING… (for those of u not familiar wif computers, pls click on the little red button wif the “X” on the top right hand corner of the screen).
Despite saying all tat, being the CIVILIZED, CULTURED person tat I am *pukes*, I will TRY not to use any vulgarities in my posts except maybe mild ones like SCREW U or SHIT so I will appreciate if u, yes U, do not use any CBlized, oops I mean uncivilized language if u post any comments (oh ya, 4got 2 inform u… feel free to post comments… althou I dun really care)
Lastly, I hope tat thru tis blog, ppl ard me can get to know me beta (or maybe more confused than b4 :p)… However, I wun be putting much personal particulars or any photos here becoz
1) I am a FUTURE TEACHER (amazing… I still cun believe it up till tis day) so I dun want any of my future students to find out…
2) I dun want my ENEMIES (not tat I haf many) to put voodoo or curses on me using my pic
3) I dun want my pic to end up on some porn site or forum
4) Ok… I dun really see why I nid to explain to U… I juz wun be putting any pics here… Case closed.

Additional note : Those of u who wants my pic to paste on the door to ward off evil spirits, juz leave me a msg… Prices are negotiable… Biz is good during 7th month so try to place ur orders early.

Opening Post

Hi all… I nv tot I will one day degrade to tis level but I am actually BLOGGING… Guess I am really too BORED… I nv was a fan of blogs but tis is my attempt to change myself a little bit. Let me explain… As u can see the blog title, it’s “Scorpios Dun Like 2 Tok But They Blog”… I am a Scorpio and I tend to be secretive and wun reveal myself much (I mean inner emotions, u pervert) in real life. My frens are complaining n it was a common problem in my past relationships so I’m trying to change 4 the beta. I tot maybe if I am not good at expressing myself verbally, I can write it down HERE. So (drums roll) tata… tis blog is born. * Excuses… The truth is I’m juz too bored during the holidays… Oops…*
