great i'm done clipping mi fingernails. i can't stand long nails. I dunno y gers keep them, unless they like to chew their nails (which is e only logical reason i see in keeping nails). Or u wanna like keep supper in ur nails after using ur hands at dinner. ew.
i'm jus blogging fer e sake of blogging. Cos i'm going on 3 day onsite duty tml. Eeps. I dread it. Altho its slack. I have no idea why i always look forward to duties when i'm done with them , i mean i dun really look forward to the DUTIES but like jus e feeling of getting OUT of the office jus rocks. Too many responsibilities and too much social interaction. sick.
Hey i like e feeling of nice 5 sentence paragraphs. They look neat and wordy at e same time. yay! Well, if u haven't already noticed i'm sounding very random, that's cos i'm feeling tired and not sleepy but i want to sleep (it's very complex). I'm sounding like meiling. terrible.
Okay, i was REALLY pissed this afternoon. I'm sure u all know i HATE driving. And i haven't realli explained why but basically its cos of my instructor. NO. "INSTRUCTORS". My previous instructor decided ONE DAY to tell me he won't be around on my TEST DATE cos he needs to go KL and so he THREW me to his fellow instructor. Ooh, and cos his car needs to be scraped, he informs me i will be using a new vehicle! WEEE! Jus 2 weeks before mi test date! I'm lucky i din have many lessons before this information came about, otherwise i'll feel seriously cheated cos i'll have to take a few more to get miself used to e new vehicle. Wat bloody shits.
Okay, and that's not e end. A week before, i happened to have to do Ops Cell Manning (some form of clerical duty) on a Thursday till 2am, so i decided to cancel my driving on the next day cos the driving lesson's at 8am. Well, cos i only knew it'll drag till 2am at bout 10 pm, i called my NEW instructor at 10pm to tell him bout it. Okay i do understand its not very fair to jus cancel a lesson with only 10 hrs notice BUT PLS, do TALK TO ME NICELY. In fact, i wouldn't mind if he ARGUED with me. This was how it went : (in mand.)
" Uncle, i can't do tomorrow cos my camp had some last min thingy. "
" Har.( nonchalantly) Cannot la. "
" Er. Uncle. really cannot. "
" Cannot la. "
" Uncle, like that what u want me to do? "
" I got to answer to my boss, cannot la. OK? Cannot like dat la. " (abt to hang up)
" Uncle, i'm serious. if u hang up, i'll jus NOT come. "
" Er. Er. Got get MC la hor. Okay ar? Okay hor. "
" Uncle, this is the ARMY. not school lei uncle. Dun tok nonsense (yes i said dat) "
" Cannot la hor. My time cannot change like dat one hor. Okay ar? " (totally missing e point. all e POINTS in fact)
HELLO. I can't take it when ppl jus treat me like MY problem isn't A problem. He assumes i can settle my side and jus DECIDES TO HANG UP. How barbaric. I got realli pissed and i demanded i dun want a change in instructor. That's when he got slightly serious and REFERRED me to mi old instructor. Who lectured me but solved e problem. I was fuming.
Okay. Dat's dat. Despite being seriously turned off by all this nonsense i have to undertake jus to get a bloody Class 3, I tried to book a lesson fer today 5-7pm. Cool. My new instructor (i din manage to get a change in e end) threw me a hp no. to call to book timings which is cool cos i can't tok to ppl who sound like dey dun give a damn on e phone --> it's 3rd on mi list of things i can't stand for now.. So i booked it. Cool. E guy i/c was cool n speaks mandarin fm mi side of e planet.
THEN TODAY. I waited for a freaking 15 min outside. Decided it was too long a wait, called mi inst. up , he jus asked me to call e AGENT. WHO TELLS ME I DIN BOOK TODAY. I "BOOKED" TOMORROW. ooooooooh. bastards. E conversation:
" hello. can i check why my inst. isn't here? I'm zy . "
" yah? okay. When u book? "
" (slit-eyed look) today. 5-7. "
" Oh. No . U book tomorrow right? "
" NO. Today. I called u last sat remember? "
" Yah i remember , u Uncle Foo's right? Cashew Road there right? ya ya. 5th wat. Tomorrow. "
" No uncle. I SAID BAI4 YI1 (MONDAY). "
" ORH. Our here (wo men zhe li, loosely translated) dun use wat BAI4 YI1 BAI4 ER4 one. We use dates. "
YEAH RIGHT. WAT DO U USE THEN? BAI A BAI B BAI C right? Please, at least attempt to pull of a more logical argument on me. Even if u did forget , i wouldn't have been pissed cos i must say i'm VERY forgiving to faults due to negligence (it's jus too tiring to blame ppl for forgetting sometimes). I was damned pissed. And he hung up on me. He's pretty damned lucky my inst. had a slot fm 8-9.30 which i could take or else i'll be on my way to get voodoo doll materials. WAT IS WRONG WIF ALL THESE PPL.
Anyway, i met my new inst. fer e 1st time. He's okay. Can teach well altho he talks so bloody much i can't even conc. on e road. (scenario : him asking me about some prawn mee stall near mi house while helping me do a semi-emergency brake when some lorry swerved out fm e side) gee. But i'm glad he's better than e prev. one. and he concentrates on driving more than parking. GOOD. But i still hate driving (a bit less now) and i realli hope i pass or get a new inst. / agent / system soon)
I slept at 4am yesterday! haha. cos i was downloading songs ( it happens everytime i ktv, i'll have all these retro classics i jus need to get). And i was super tormented cos i realli needed to sleep off e pounding in my head but mi file transfer needed another 10 min. So i wanted to blog to like stop me fm sleeping. but then hey hey hey! MEILING popped out on my MSN! haha. Chatted fer 5 min maybe. got a few photos. hehe but yeah. pleasant surprise. Was feeling quite smiley even tho mi head was falling off.
i admit, i'm a PC addict. Fer e past 2 (issit 2 already?! abt la.) years in NS, i've spent more than 30% of my life in frt of e PC , waiting fer ppl to come online, blogging ,downloading music, chatting. Which is a COMPLETE waste of time, in mi opinion. U guys must have realised how often i'm online. It's unhealthy and it's a habit hard to kick. So once i'm clearing leave fer ORD, i'm going to start cleansing mi body of e stench of internet access i have all over me. I'll start doing calligraphy and practising mi flute soon. It's terrible, to want to start e PC to jus see who's online when i only have bout 10 min on my hands before i leave home. I hate being addicted to anything. But i suspect the addiction will return (if it even leaves ) when i'm in shanghai and bored stiff in my hostel or when i'm sick of 'playing with bells on e cows' neck ' (i quote mi stupid campmate who overheard my shanghainese platoon sergeant say how rural Fudan Uni is, hee hee.)
Dele left yesterday. Last one.
Well i sent her a mandarin sms as a bye bye yesterday. And after typing it i realised how much fun we've had in e last 3 mths. It's like slackers-intensive.
The sms went ,
" In the past few mths, we baked pancakes, ate tang yuans, slept over at my place n urs, watched Infernal Affairs, read Jin Yung together, went to Jin Qu Jiang, played with frisbees,candles,sparklers and lanterns, threw dice ( pua pia! ) , made spaghetti, listened to F.I.R., ran Nike real run , strolled down town barefooted, stuffed ourselves at buffets, watched VCDS and went crazy over "Under a Roof" together. "
zhao : zhen de wan le hao duo dong xi ye! n u know wat? i think adele n lau's jiao zi are actually better than my mom's !
life will be quiet after this hols, for e good n e bad. (they're hols are alot like my hols cos all of them come back at e same time).
my blog is so dry tonight. i'm too sleepy la. *snarls*
