hiatus

Lack of updates, yes, I know. But then again, who reads this anyway? xD

Jya, the BKK trip was great. I bought quite a lot of stuff. Ate a lot of great food too! Oishi!

But I'd bore you with what I did every day, what I bought, so lets move on to other things.

1) I never cease to be amazed at how the Thai actually LINE UP to enter the trains, unlike some of us uncouth and uncultured Singaporeans, who just RUSH into the train, giving no thought whatsoever to the people who want to alight, despite the many signs and announcements to give way to people alighting. Of course, this is thanks to the in-born attitude of 'kiasu-ism', maybe just pure laziness, to want to rush and get a seat, even though you'll be getting off at the next stop. But even then, its really no excuse to be ignorant of the people around you, right?

2) The.. lower-class citizens. Its really a sad sight to see, all the people sitting on the streets, faces baked by the sun, their eyes dimmed with a sense of lost hope, of no future. I saw the same old lady wearing the same clothes sleeping in the same corner everytime we walked past that area. You see people missing limbs, hands clasped, asking for alms. We hve everything we need, yet we want more, while some people don't even have a roof over their heads. Maybe its time to stop wanting and start thanking and appreciating the things we already have and the people around us instead of being so selfish, thinking only of us and the other worldly objects we would so dearly like to possess? Its so easy to say, but so hard to do. Even I have a hard time doing it. But I'll do my best =D

3) It was freaking hot there; we were in shopping centers most of the time.

School starts tomorrow. Another quick term, then it'll be time to rot again. Though dad isn't very eager for me to be rotting at home, and said that he'll talk to his friend in an advertising firm about giving me a job during the hols. This was a conversation that occured in the car, on the way to church today.

Mum: Do clerical work la.
Dad: No. No clerical work.
Mum: But have to start somewhere low-level right?
Me: I'd really rather rot at home.
Dad: Always the same. Always clerical work. Its so mundane. No point using that brain (mine) for that kind of work. Sucks out all the creativity.
Mum: But..
Dad: I rather let her rot at home than do clerical work.
Me: ....
Mum: ....
Sis: -fiddles with phone as usual-
-silence-
Me: So can I just rot at home?
Dad: No.

Something along the lines of that =D

So if all goes well, I'll be working during the hols. -dies-

Time to sleepeth, for school starts in a bit.
