Ocean’s 13

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

Caught Ocean’s 13 at Bishan @ 11am. No crowd, and i requested the counter girl to give me a “middle of the theatre” seat when she offered me 4 row from the back. The centre of the cinema is where the sound effects converge!

Witty show, though some of the stunts they pulled off were quite unrealistic. And i liked the part where they were trying to hack into the FBI’s database to change their appearance, one fellow asked: “Are you in yet?” The other guy: “I hate that question.” HAhahaha! Got hidden meaning one leh!!

Had lunch at Mos, paid my fine at the library (bloody hell, now it costs 15cents per book for being overdue. I thought it only costs 10cents), managed to find Prey by Michael Crichton and borrowed it to read.

Took 13 down to east coast road to Chin Mei Chin to buy the cupcakes that C wanted to buy on Sunday but wasn’t available. Luckily there were 5 left when i reached and i took them all! Then took 10 down to shenton way to give them to her. Apparently she was at client’s place, but luckily it was near office. It was a pek-chek day for her, and i hope at least i made her day better? :) Proceeded to gym after that.

Spiderman 3

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

Yeah, watched it alone on a Sunday morning at PS.

Whilst on the way there in the train, i saw this ah pek (looks at least 60+ yrs old) listening and fiddling with his mp3 player! Woo…so hip sia! Actually i dunno if he was trying to figure out how the damm thing works (dunno even if the mp3 player was playing?!) or he was trying to read the lyrics or he was trying to find his fav song? Haha, but he still looks damm hip la!

Must remind myself to request for seats where there ain’t nobody to my left and/or right. There was this arsehole to my right who thought he owned the whole bloody armrest and occupied it the whole time. Nebermind, that i can still tahan, but he had the cheek to spread his arms further and eat into my personal space!! Damm you gay looking asshole.

I think i watch movies w/o thinking much. How come huh, i mean just by watching the movie there is already information/imagery overload, how come some people can come out and tell me “Oh, the morale of the story/movie is blah blah blah…” To me watching a movie is to relax and enjoy the beautiful people, wonderful scenary, brilliant camera work, etc and not to think so much? Oh well, i am odd i guess.

Types and buses

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

After reading OLLie’s post about her categorization of stages of liking someone, i sort of agree with her, but not totally la…

For example, there can be another category between Crush and Like? I mean what if you know the bf/gf of the person you like? And what if you are still going on movie dates with the person coz the bf/gf is overseas? And what if the person calls you to complain and ask for a listening ear when they quarrel?

Erm, i dunch know what to call that category, so i shall just leave it as it is ba…

I like to take buses.

Despite the fact that my job allows me to take cabs, even call for cabs, i still like to take buses. Taking buses allows me to observe people (girls especially, haha)  and if there ain’t enough people for me to look at, the time could be spent thinking, coz bus journeys always take a long time. Cabs on the other hand, there is nothing for me to see except for the uncle, whom i have zero interest in. And everything zooms by so quickly. I am slow by nature can??

To me, choosing a seat on the bus is a very important decision. As important as marriage. For me, the reason is very simple. Once i sit next to someone along the aisle, even if the rest of the bus is empty, i will not move to another seat. Why?? you may ask? Well, if i move, other people (or the person next to me) might think that the person next to me stinks rite? Or there’s something wrong with the person (eg keeps farting/belching) that results in me moving away. Then its not so nice to him/her ma… Unless the person really stinks, then i will move away at the first available opportunity.

Well, i equate that to marriage. If i am married to someone(=sitting next to someone on the bus), i will try my best to make things work and not divorce so easily (=move onto another available seat at the first available opportunity) unless the person i married really stinks(=the person next to me on the bus really stinks)! :)

Angel and Devil

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

Was on the bus back home when a HUGE lady boarded the bus and she walked right up to the back where i sat and stood there. At least she never stand in front and block everyone.

I was seating along the aisle and was suddenly very afraid when the ger sitting next to me started digging into her bag…which means she’s alighting!!! My worst nightmare came thru and she alighted at the next stop.

Luckily the fat lady did not try to squeeze into the same seat as me. I would have been crushed. Yes, i am mean/evil/inconsiderate/whatever. But i did think that maybe its not her fault that she’s so fat. Maybe she has a diesease or something…

Conversation going on in my head: 

Angel(A): She’s so poor thing, being so fat she must have low self-esteem.

Devil(D): Bah! Fatty alert!!! And she smells too!! Fat pple sweaty smell!!! Eeks!!

A: Hey, maybe its the food she’s carry that smells la…

D: See?! So fat already still buy Old Chang Kee! Want to add more oil ah??

A: Maybe its for her kids/children leh…She’s bringing back all these food for her children!

D: BAH! More like all for herself!! Help!! I can’t breathe!!

 - The lady sits down right at the last row -

Strange woman

Monday, September 4th, 2006

There i was, minding my own business at the bustop, all hot and sweating due to the rain, when an Indian woman walked past me and gave me a nasty look. The kind of look like i killed her husband, raped her daughter, sold her son to a gigolo and beheaded her pet hamster all at the same time.

I was like "wth?" but i left it at that. She went to stand near to the bus bay and she stared at me one more time. I thought maybe i had something on my face, or isit that my 印堂发黑 and she could forsee some big disaster heading my way. I touched my face and no, there wasn't any pieces of tissue nor was there any boogie on my face. I have been feeling lucky, so no bad luck either! Choi!! So i ignored her.

My bus came, and being the stupid/innocent me, i went to stand next to her for the bus stopped right in front of her. As i was about to board the bus, i felt a violent push downwards on my bag. I turned around, and lo and behold, who was it but the Indian woman, who then walked away quickly. Ignoring the inconsequential shove, i contributed my 64 cents to SBS Transit and while walking along the aisle, i turned to look at her, expecting her to point her middle finger at me. But no….she just turned away and back faced me. I think she must have been feeling ashamed! Hahaha!

————-

Oh ya, i want to scold that stupid streetdirectory.com. Was supposed to send the car for servicing in the morning, but wasn't really sure of the best way to get there, so i used that website. And guess what? it directed me in the salah direction!! I should have gone with my own gut feel and not followed the stupid driving instructions!

95% of max capacity and wait no more than 15 mins?? HAHAHA

Friday, July 28th, 2006

Hokiez, let’s see how they achieve that when every morning, the buses are packed until the steps up to the bus is filled with people.

Will the bus uncle captain say: STOP! You cannot board the bus! I am at *starts counting the number of people on the bus (which takes 8 mins)* erm…94.5% of my max capacity! If anyone boards, i will exceed the 95% threshold!!

Maybe that’s how they can say commuters dun need to wait for more than  15 mins for the next bus, cos theoratically the first bus is still in the bus bay for more than 10 mins (due to the bus uncle captain counting the % of capacity in his bus).

Now, we all know that if we want to complain about anything, we must also at the same time propose a solution right??? So here’s my solution.

During the morning peak hours, for those bus services that are notorious for being always packed, send 2 buses out of the interchange at the same time. This would aleviate the problem of overcrowding and not having to wait for more than 15 mins for the next bus.

But what would happen next? SBST and SMRT would then claim as a result of this, operational expenses have increased so much, that they need to increase fares again next year. HAHAHA *pats myself on the back for predicting the future*
