The Kiasu Poison

after just a few days of work, i'm very annoyed by kiasu singaporeans. No, these people aren't found at work. at work they're polite, courteous people who hold doors open for others and smile and greet each other in the morning.

i think there's some toxin in the Singapore air. The Kiasu Poison. TKP. The moment these people step out of their offices and start heading home and inhale TKP, they transform and mutate into ugly abominations.

When the train comes, (or even if it isn't) they begin to move strategically towards the yellow markings that indicate the different entrances. Those with some level of resistance to TKP just stand behind the demarketed line, but inch as close as possible.

Those who are badly infected stand in the MIDDLE of the freaking zone, desperate to be the first one to board the train. Are they stupid or blind? People need to come out right. Oh yea but wait, TKP neutralizes the senses, it just makes you want to be first, to be comfortable, to be selfish.

When the door opens, they RUN in. I've seen some ppl LITERALLY run for the seat, it's almost comical. Then as they sit there snug and comfortable, TKP surges, making them blind too. It doesn't matter if there are elderly people or ladies standing near them. No, they need to be comfortable what! standing on the train is VERY tiring , especially with TKP weakening the body.

I think we are in need of some antidote. Legend has said that a particular curly-haired man with yellow boots holds some antidote in his Repelling Anti Poison formula. I think the government actually released some of this R.A.P at MRTs all day long for a period of time, and i think it actually helped the situation abit.

But as all bio students know, virus (or bacteria?) develop a resistance to such things over time. So i guess now, TKP is immune to the R.A.P and still plagues all commuters.

So i guess i'm stuck with having to stand on trains for my commuting, since I've actually a strong resistance to TKP due to my inoculation of Caustic Orange UV Rays Through Enormous Sharp Yawns when i was a little boy so i don't behave in such an embarassing manner as the infected.

Ok, time to go and start mentally preparing myself for work tomorrow and plan all my activities and make ample calculations so that i can finish my work fast tomorrow.

what?

work work

ah sorry i've been rather inactive lately.. (who am i saying sorry to? i think i know who read my blog.. about 5 ppl? ha i dunoooooooooo)

just started work this week! I'm working at IBM @ Expo .. yes, freaking far, 1 hour journey everyday. maybe i should try taking a bus.. heard it's faster. but then i'm scared i'll be late. hmm.

i'm covering for some person.. i think her job is 'accounts assistant' or something like that. there is ALOT of things to do. I understudied her for 2 days, and i already have 7 pages of notes of what to do for this and that. AND i'm not entirely confident of doing everything by myself. cos it' s very complicated!!

need to cash in cheques (have to remember which banks for which cheques.. not easy), prepare various forms.. respond to emails .. etc. literally a dozen different things that can and will happen.

AHHHH.

hope i dont screw up (too badly) this week.. when i'm on my own.


-shudder-.

lunch with becky monkey

ah, finally got the photos from becks. these were from last year! i think about.. ok i really can't remember when this was but it was close to the end of the year.

This is just a photo spam so.. if you don't like photos for some reason.. skip this !

Lunch was at Ajisen!


Hers was obviously the Volcano ramen one.. you see the big clump of chili they give!! mine was.. charsiew i think. i LOVE the ramen and the soup la!! super nice.



i'm rather impatient cos my food came first and had to wait awhile for hers.. then she still wanna take pictures of the food! gah. drooling already.


happy after meal =)





Dessert! FRIED MARS BALLS! These are damn good ok! can be bought from this little booth @ B2 of PS. Raffles City also got! Try asking for more icecream, you need it to balance out the super sweetness of the MARS balls =)


Ok, the real camwhore begins:




Ok at this point i was starting to get impatient.. the icecream melting already!! cannot let the ice cream melt one!! if not the MARS balls taste will get too 'gao' then not nice already. need the more bland and cold ice cream to blend.


cannot wait already must eat.

ok daniel called me at this point to ask about some movie thing at night, then becky went to snap a pic! so unglam ! i kept trying to make her delete it but she refused.


act sad.

i dunno why i look so weird here i think i was saying something then she go snap already.



she ask me button my shirt. but too hot!



we try playing with perspective now.

ok this was the last shot at our seat..

then as we stood to leave she took my bowl of icecream to help me throw away.. so i kindly help her pick up her handbag to pass to her. then when she turned and saw me she just laugh and ask me take photo?!? wth?!
