love this comic

arrgh

all you fucking useless shits. yes, all those who can't be bothered to reply messages on their phones. piss off. S11 can go and die, fucking bastards who can't even show me the courtesy to tell me that you can't or can make it to stuff that we plan to do. fuck you all. one bloody message so hard to send is it? "sorry reuben, i'm not free" or "yea ok". how hard? how fucking hard?

seriously, it has been one too many times that people have failed to reply to messages asking to organise something. like how rubin commented the other time, this is why our parents have a strong small group of friends. friends who put in the effort even through all the years. just like how the scouties have split, i think it's time to lose some friends. Scout guys lasted 10 years till now but ole s11 lasted 5 years. overseas guys, it isn't your fault. it just seems that us guys stuck in singapore seemed to have gotten a worse deal.

the point is not that you have a reason that you can't make it tomorrow. It's that you didn't bother replying to say that you're not free. am i supposed to actually know your schedule all the time? you can't blame me for not knowing you're not free or whatever situation which you might have because i don't know anything. i'm not telepathic, nor free enough to talk to everyone on MSN and keep tabs on their schedule.

it's too taxing to have a quality friendship with that many people. i don't need many friends. i just need great friends. and that i feel, i have a great group of close friends.

to all those who told me they can't make it, see you another time :)

also, did you notice that singapore buses and trains are haunted? you didn't know that? omg, that creepy ghost at the back of the bus? the suicide victim in the middle of carriages? no wonder people don't FUCKING move to the back of the bloody bus (yes, bloody, i heard he slit his wrists) and to the middle of the MRT carriage. it's just too damn scary. fucking singaporeans.

while i'm at it, thank you taxi drivers. thank you for driving slow in lane 1. thank you for speeding up when i'm about to overtake you. thank you for suddenly breaking and turning wherever you want. i'm sorry that i was in your way. thank you for driving in 2 lanes, there's just too much space on singapore roads. special note: it seems that every accident i have seen this year has involved a taxi either as the kissed or the kisser.

and when we drive on the road, why is there always this ego shit going on? i don't want to give way to you, i like to stay in the yellow box, my car faster than yours, my lights brighter than yours, i like to weave in and out of lanes, double white lines don't mean anything, i need to be in front of the car in front of me, then it's great. if the sign says that one lane is closed ahead, fucking filter in early instead of driving all the way to the front and forcing your way in, cursing the guy for not giving way to you. of course he's not going to fucking give way to you, you stupid bastard. he waited in line, he was patient, he showed good road manners by filtering in early. maybe it's because you can't read signs, maybe it's because your BMW's have immunity to shit, maybe it's because you're a fucking taxi.

gah, feel so much better now.

i love singapore, i fucking hate singaporeans.

it's all about the money

just did a job week camp for the scouts over the weekend. First time that i've ever seen a camp for job week. for those who don't know what i'm talking about, job week is when scouts go around Singapore doing jobs to earn money and raise funds for their units and the scout HQ. the objectives of job week are to teach the boys the value of hard work and also to help them realise that money isn't that easy to come by anyway.

so starting off with a target of $36k i.e. $90 per boy per day with 100 boys and 4 days(realistically it was $28k)by the end of the camp, the boys set off on saturday to various parts of the island to earn money. All 4 days were from 9 to 7 so the days were long and tiring, not to mention the hot sun giving them a nice lobster tan. By Sunday, the takings were only 13k. So the leaders talked to the boys and tried to encourage them not to give up and to improve their attitudes. I've never been much of a talker so i just sat down and listened. I think that motivating boys is one thing that i cannot absolutely do. Scold, teach and discipline can but i really suck at motivating. So after that superb talk, the boys came back on monday with 8k and 7k on tusday, thus reaching our realistic target of $28k. Deserving PL's were given the lanyards back and the boys all got to eat ice cream. Altough we averaged about 85 boys over the 4 days, i believe that they did a great job and that they would have reached $32k by the end of the camp. I can only hope that by tomorrow they would have earned another $2k in total to bring the final amount to $30k, just falling short of june ren's $35k 4 years ago.

over the camp, i got to know the teachers better, especially the new ones, and finally got the rover crew started. It's a new unit for our scouts and with our initial numbers of voluntary and volunteered members, we reached the minimum number of 10 rovers and i'll be going for a meeting at the national rover roundtable to present our new unit as the current chairman and representative to the roundtable.

on a side note, i've never seen so many ferrari's in the same spot at the same time.


no1 and no2. first 2 that i see when going to nearby esso to get a drink and a curry puff.


after buying my curry puff and halfway back towards school, i realise i haven't bought the New Paper. I turn around to find ferrari no3. It appeared out of nowhere.


2 days later, when i went to esso again to get a magnum, this red one was spotted. notice that the yellow ferrari is still there. I want to be so rich that i can leave one ferrari to be cleaned and still drive the other one to work.

lovely piece of work, the engine is so nice and neat and also huge, taking up half of the car as you can see in the previous photo.

also, i forgot to take a picture of the Lamborghini Gallardo that was there on the 3rd day of the camp. too many expensive cars around, it had to be parked next to the road.

also, C&C3 is mine soon.... thank you EA for releasing it exactly a month before my exams.

girls are yucky

don't kiss girls, they give you cooties!!!

redang oh redang

when you're feeling like you need a break, there's no place like redang... sigh

Marine Park - Site of Fish Attack and the invention of the bread bomb.


Getting around

Gillian funfact #382: she didn't put sunblock on the back of her legs. Ouch.

P.S. Thank you so much sayang for getting me the book with the extra special message :) i love you :D

studying in the library

almost seems impossible to study after eating lunch.

here's one for you rubin

damn you blogger Part 2

part 2 of pictures due to blogger being dumb, or most probably stupid NUS settings

Gan Eng Seng bridge. The suspension bridge is becoming popular due to a certain school always winning with the same fucking design for the past 8+ years.


Holy Innocents i think. They spent lots of money on the bamboo to make the bridge. Bamboo which broke only AFTER the judging. Fuck!


Again, our bridge. Top railings looks sloppy because the boys were already tired and had to rush through.


Catholic high bridge 2. yes, they sent in 2 teams each for the tower and bridge. They've got a huge store!


Dunno what school with huge gateway and a lot of rafia string.

damn you blogger Part 1

bloddy blogger, don't know what is wrong with it, can't let me post all the phtos in one shot. so here's half of the photos.

Our "bridge"


Catholic high's bridge. The same for many years but still looking very good.


again, catholic high's towers. Same design for the past 8 years at least. Those dumb judges should put in marks for originality. You can't build the same thing for 8 years! Both towers are theirs, the one in the foreground and the one with the red banners.


St. Pat's structure, they're getting better now, coming up with a lot more good designs.


Gan Eng Seng. Not such a good picture but this tower looks good.
