How many Busy did I type in this entry?

I'm so busy these days, but not as busy as a free prostitute! :p

But I've been really busy this week. Staying in school till late and sleeping only at 3 AM every other day do not sound nice at all right? The woes of a student! Tsk. Now as I'm typing this, I am editting my group mate's portion of the report. And I still have webcasts to watch. And examinations are in a month's time. Gosh so busy busy!

And my visa hasn't been bloody approved. It took me a freaking 2 minutes to get my interview done and all I was given was a shitty piece of yellow paper telling me my visa application was pending. It took me a whole month to wait for their reply and guess what, it's been more than a freaking month! And I don't see no Visa, dudes!

My agency has already called them up after I rushed them to, and they told the agency the administrative checks are not done. I'm running out of patience ah, can someone please buy me some?

Anyway, I'm going to be busy for the rest of next week as well because I have two more freaking projects due and we've not finished because we keep having to redo it. Someone please shoot that Kumar.

What was originally a somewhat happy post has turned into one that is full of my whines.

I initially wanted to blog about this:

Anyone remember this song?

A healthy body makes a healthy mind
You don't need tobacco to pass the time
You don't need the habit that gives you pain
You don't need the nicotine stain
If you love yourself, don't spoil your health say NO NO NO to tobacco DON'T PUFF!

I still remember the lyrics!

Or this song too:

Who are you my country?
More than celebrations and tears
More than memories, put together
Or the summing up of years
I see you enduring all weather
Your needs, your strengths
In your face the lines ever changing
Tell the story where I have a part

Haha the lyrics may not be correct. I remember this song after I sang Heaven on the Inside of Me. I miss singing hymns. That just didn't come out of my Muslim mouth. Tsk.

This Muslim mouth of mine is craving for ice-cream. Owe Ice-cream Pay Ice-cream okay!

I need consolation for my busy school life. Whiney. :(

Fast and Furious Week

I wonder if you know
How they live in Tokyo
If you see me then you mean it
Then you know you have to go
Fast and furious Drift, Drift, Drift
Fast and furious Drift, Drift, Drift

And I really mean furious.

What do you see?

"Did you ever think about the future? What do you see?"

"You."

"I see you."

Holiday

Holiday plans are making me excited!

Exams officially end on the morning of 5th May and I've already made plans to go Sentosa on the same day! Hopefully the plan materialises and more people can make it. Chalet with the lucky 7s the following day - booked and madly anticipating.

I'm still free on the 8th and 9th though and I would wanna stay home on the 10th to spend time with my family. I'm flying off on the 11th at around 2pm.

I need white tennis shoes for my WAT job. Also need a nice backpack to bring to the States. And a nice jacket/hoody to act "couture" on the plane. Hmm an advanced bday cum farewell present perhaps?

First!

I told myself last night I'd be punctual for school today.

And here I am in school, proud and beaming with joy! I am punctual for EG lecturer for the first time this semester! In fact, I'm one and a half hours earlier. Super anomalous to my rarely-punctual lifestyle.

I would have arrived even earlier if not for the rain and the ever so packed 183. I figure dashing across the road in the rain to the bus interchange would have been a better option than wait for 183 with so many other people heading off to Science Centre, or wherever they're going to.

It's gonna be a long day today...

Valentina Hasan you the woman!

ken lee, tulibu dibu douchoo
ken lee, ken lee meju more...
ken leeeeeee, tulibu dibu douchoo
ken leeeeeeeeeee, ken lee meju more

O M G.

I want that complexion back!

ORD

It's already been two years!

And I've not worn the greens ever since. Ha ha!

Feedback

The feedback noticeboard at YIH is there for a reason, ain't it? But no one uses it, and amazingly, those who gave their feedback did it in the most typical NÜS way ever - COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR MODULES. Rant to parents/friends/tutors/school forums/personal blogs not enough, must use feedback column to rant is it?

So...



And as the story goes, today was a feel-like-having-Subway-for-lunch day so we dragged our hungry bodies from Engin all the way to YIH just for an American sandwich lunch. It's not everyday that I can eat Subway because apart from feel-like-having-Subway-for-lunch days, I also have my feel-damn-broke-can't-spend-so-much-on-food days too, in fact way too many recently that it struck me why does my monthly allowance get depleted so fast these few months! Okay, let that story be reserved for another day.

We reached, queued up, chose what we wanted, and... the moment it reached my turn and I wanted to open my mouth to place an order, the woman said:

"SORRY, NO BREAD. WE ONLY HAVE WRAPS FOR NOW".

If that were an MSN convo, you know what my reply will be like?

This --> ...

My favourite three dots to signify the state of speechlessness.

Subway without bread is like a toilet cubicle without the four walls around it! NO BREAD LEH! Are they serious about doing business today? Out of ten people queueing up, only one or two stayed on to buy their wraps instead after knowing the bread is unavailable. Who goes to Subway to eat wraps anyways?

And the Subway aunty damn smart can, wait for us to queue and proceed to the front of the queue then say got no bread. Chao turban! Expect us to buy your wraps is it? And as we all know, Subway@NÜS is cheaper but its services are horrible. And this aunty was no exception. Say sorry machiam no need say also can.

*cues for music*

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late..


This is 'Bali Blast' caught red-handed on the feedback board...


No prizes for guessing who 'Hiroshima' is.

Apart from these two, we also have Pearl Harbour, London Terror and Nagasaki who are not directly involved in the story.

Moving on to happier news...

I got this in the e-mail today.

Does this mean my visa has been approved? :D

Time for a Change

I was actually watching Next Door Neighbour's Election Results on TV this morning instead of attempting my assignment. I know! What a thing to do! It isn't going to affect me ever anyway! But I like to watch it can?

Since the 1999 Elections, opposition came up with pretty strong support from the people. This year they emerged stronger than ever. My friend who was originally from Next Door Neighbour changed her nick to this: 'Change is the new constant.' And that's because she came from a very important state in Next Door Neighbour - The Island State. Opposition forces even penetrated NDN's southernmost state in the Peninsula which was thought to be the impenetrable stronghold of the Coalition Forces. Just beside us can?

Anyway, it's good that the major reshuffling in the parliament is actually taking place, it shows that the voices of the people are being heard, and they still do matter. It beats having the monotony of seeing the SAME election results for the past 40-odd years since independence and still seeing it in my generation.

What has happened?

Spoke to a police officer friend about this and he gave me some insights on the issue.

1) Crowded place. The poor police guy needs to aim really properly so that his shot doesn't hit anyone in the crowd but the armed robber.

2) The most accurate part of the body (or that with the highest surface area, or so he claimed) to send the bullet to without hitting other people in the crowd is the upper body. He didn't give a reason why not legs, but from the statement he gave, I infer that the legs have a "lower surface area" than the upper body.

3) How many times do they get to handle such a situation like this? (To which I rebutted: That's not an excuse!) Point 3 is very blah I feel.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got off school at 5plus today and upon arriving at Clementi MRT Station (must mention Station arboh people kaobei my English whahaha), ZH and I saw this signboard instructing people to take the NEL from Dhoby Ghaut. Being curious students, we wondered what had happened.

Me: Must be someone commit suicide there.

Yah it's plain dumb of me to think likewise. How can anyone jump onto the tracks UNDERGROUND??

Him: Train broke down? Cannot be. Train cannot operate from Dhoby Ghaut because there is no way a Harbour Front-bound train can teleport to the Punggol-bound tracks at Dhoby Ghaut without passing the 'faulty' MRT.

Smart leh. I didn't think of that at all.

Me: That leaves us with the third possibility. Your best friend Mr. Mas is being cornered there now.

Him: What's he doing at Outram Park? Go Hospital for medical check-up? Or sing KTV at Chinatown?

As everyone would have known by now (except probably Isaac who stays at remote Boon Lay/Jurong area, where no cool people live. Cool people dominate the East.), the police shot down a guy (not my friend's best friend) at the MRT Station and killed him. Apparently, the guy stabbed another guy and then he was spotted at the MRT Station by the police who confronted him and then he charged at them with a knife and they opened fire from a distance of three metres and hit his chest, killing him instantly.

The big question left unanswered is: Want to defend yourself must kill him meh?

I was trying to gauge how far 3 metres is, and I realise it's not that far. (It's about twice the height of Mr. Mas) However, taking the stabber's distance from the policemen to be x metres and the progress of time from being spotted to him "lunging the knife at them" to be t seconds, I sorta reasoned it out with myself and I still don't get why he needs to be killed.

Here's why. Considering the fact that he was only shot at x=3 metres, he would have been further than x=3 metres at t=0 seconds. (Sidetrack: Check for Biot Number) Wouldn't that have given the policeman ample time to take out his gun and aim at anywhere else, say his legs? Well that's why they do in Channel 8 dramas!

Considering the panic factor (I usually see slackers patrolling the MRT Stations anyway, they look nowhere prepared for such situations) and human nature to act on impulse, one might be able to understand the policeman's actions.

But wait. The stabber is a 43 year old man. Possibly with a big belly to go with the age. And poor stamina. And possibly with old age ailments such as HBP and diabetes. "Lunging the knife at them" required more time due to the additional 'resistances', wouldn't it?

I just don't feel that killing him that way is justifiable.

Oh this was supposed to be my point for the entire entry. I feel that the Sing society is getting a little more unsafe these days. First, it was the terrorist's escape incident, and now this. I also read in Stomp recently about one teenager who was slashed at the arm by a group of teenagers in Tampines just because they "don't like the way he walks". A few weeks back, my friend and I were hanging out downstairs and he approached a pretty young guy for lighter to light up his cigarette. When he came back, he told me the guy had a knife on his other hand.

Do you feel uneasy now? I do.

Must Selamud
