your entitlement?

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

alright i know i've not been blogging and i apologize… aside from leading a rather boring life that meant little to blog about, my internet access has also been removed from the office and i don't know why. what i know is that i'm left with about 4 hours of precious internet time at home daily and i rather spend it playing dota and cs than blogging.

also i don't like to blog about something that happened a day or two ago… stale news is like a bag of rotten tomatoes.. it still smells and taste like the sweetness you knew, but you can't really place the taste, and it ain't as enjoyable as before.

but! today something happened in the train that i must talk about, and it has something to do with the title of this post:

alrite at novena station (why always novena) there was the lady i'd guess in her mid 40s wearing typical office attire.. some whitish female work top and a black knee-length skirt and a purple blazerish jacket… and her hair is quite horrendous. it reminds me of a poodle with a lobsided ear… remember how in primary school when you used to draw females? you'd draw their hair like an inverted |_| shape… yup her hair was like that… only that it was actually asymmetrical…

ok as you can guess this woman is the star of the post… and this post being on THIS BLOG means that the woman can be up to no good… but i must mention about impressions first… this woman gave a very bad first impression to start with… i mean i was standing in the train and the doors haven't opened and when i saw her i was already like "what the fuck?" so that really gives her VERY little little room for error. like a pretty lady can get away with something 5 times as serious…

but back to the story. turns out this woman seems to have injured her wrist cos there was this homemade-style bandage over her left wrist. so she was carrying her SMALL hand bag on her right hand. by small i mean about 500g.

when she came into the train, she walked in with this air of hurriedness and "i-must-go-in"… that reminded me of a certain very flustered platoon mate back in army… (he walks with a straight poise and is very by the book and speaks very fast and is very uptight… well, you get the picture)… and then she started 'excuse me'ing all the way into the sitting area… which was ok.. cos i thought she was one of those who would bother to move to the center of the train (not that i don't.. but it was already crowded enough)

and you know what she did? she went to the first guy she saw sitting… and said, in that same kancheong tone and "you owe me your life" tone….

"excuse me? excuse me? could you give me this seat? cause you can see that i have injured my wrist so unless you want me to fall over you… thanks."

WHAT THE FUCK!

eh you fuck bitch! you bloody respect people and don't talk to people like they owe you ok! did i mention that you look awful earlier on? by virtue of that you have been stripped of all your damn human rights so you don't even deserve to be on the train. and you injured your freakin WRIST. if you're so able-bodied as to be able to travel to work, i don't see how you can don't support your huge-ass-weight on your legs. oh i'm so sorry.. i guess your whole bejesus family has a history of polio… don't spread to your children ok? i don't think your son has the even a fucknut brain to inherit 0.1% of stephen hawkin's intelligence.

–haha. that felt good

goddamn bitch. i've seen pregnant ladies stand in crowded trains (people didn't offer cos they can't see her) and just bear with it. but yah.. i guess since you don't have human rights, you aren't a human so you don't have such basic abilities. oh well! one more to add to my list of extermination. bloody waste of oxygen.

i love comments.

laremy commented… and then this 'A' guy commented on 3 seperate posts… i don't know about you guys, but it makes me feel good about what i'm writing. at least someone there is

1.) bothering to read in the first place
2.) bothering to try and talk to me about what i write after that

which is the whole point of a blog. i wouldn't be having a blog ON THE INTERNET if i were to be just talking about myself. which is why i stopped talking about my life. because no one bothers, no one is interested, and the comments you get will be like 'hang on ian!'… 'don't worry everything will be fine!' like yah yah you know i know its just a formality… whether you actually emphatise with me.. i cannot tell from a line that even domokun can say (roar) with his mouth open (wtf!?)

alrite… i think replying to comments on a POST itself is better than replying to them as a comment on the same post… firstly no one really notices old posts, and secondly it misleads people when the post says 8 comments, but there is actually only comment (that includes some off-topic nonsense) and 7 subsequent comments between you and the other guy talking about said off-topic crap.

so here are my replies :

laremy, on the post "as i reached for my gun". the whole story i'm writing about is actually a true story, well except for the gun part. the IT is supposed to be a cockroach. and the gun is actually supposed to be a can of insect spray (which was fictitious) but i kinda felt it could have all happened. and think i made it look like a gun when it wasn't. and YES, novena station was flooded that day. but it didn't come up in the news, i don't know why. passengers had to wet their shoes when they emerged from the train until they got to the stairs. esclators were down. the flood was about 3-4cm high. but by the time i got there, it was under control liao la.

A : thanks. its nice knowing someone out there is willing to agree with me on this matter. a pity you can't agree with me on the singapore idol actual issue, well maybe you aren't from singapore

ok i'm going to update on my life now. people who don't want to bother can just close browser now.

brother's flying off to frankfurt (just in time for world cup riots hah) on tuesday, and hong to australia on thurs. quite sian la, everyone's going away. you somehow just worry for them you know… esp like you're not gonna see them for 1 whole year. definately something has gone missing. been feeling sad but i'm quite tired of having that feeling also… i wanna feel excited for them, so i hope they are excited. oh well. best to you all.

marina square's the bomb. its the best shopping centre in singapore. it has everything for everyone. the ah beng playgrounds of paradiz and peace centre (LAN shops, hobby shops, pool palours, arcades) PLUS big cinemas (puts PS and cine to shame) plus the range of shops along orchard road MINUS the useless shops you'd never buy anything from… high end shops of taka and paragon, expensive direct retail outlets of nike and adidas… PLUS great restaurants you'll almost not find anywhere else in singapore.. lerk thai restaurant, carl's junior.. omg.

bought a 4cd boston pops cd set from the 2nd hand cd shop there for just 30 bucks. like damn happy lah! boston pops! so hard to find, and so cheap! for those who don't know, the boston pops orchestra is a subset of the boston symphony orchestra, and is one of the most popular orchestras in the world (quite possible the most popular). this cd set was when the previous guy fieldler was the conductor. when he died in the 70s, john williams took over. the music you hear from star wars, schindler's list and jurassic park, plus many other movies… are all from williams.

anyway yah its just cool music to listen lah, classical in the sense of soothing orchestrated music, but with popular light tunes and now classical ones.
