Ill-treated?

I read off some website last night that breast-feeding will enhance the intelligence ability of babies.

Being my mischievous self (=P), I decided to ask my mum if any of us were being breast-fed.
Below is a rough idea of how the conversation goes:

ME (running after my mum to the washing machine):
Ma, did you breast-feed any of us? I read that breast-feeding will make a child brighter.
Mum (walking into the kitchen):
No.
ME (surprised and still following my mum):
WHAT?! No wonder none of us were genius.
Mum (half-laughing):
If I knew you were going to say this when you grew up, I would have bought a cow and milked it for you.
ME (o.0):
Ma, I said 人奶 ('human' milk) not 牛奶 ('cow' milk).
Mum (saying to my dad and not paying attention anymore):
That's your daughter.
Dad (grinning):
You should be thankful that you were not ill-treated.
ME (going to drink some water):
WHY?
Dad (laughing devilishly):
You mum put your bro on diet course the moment he was born.
ME (spat water out of my mouth):
WHAT? Why?
Dad:
I have no idea, to date, where did she managed to find that small spoon to scoop the milk powder. She scooped half the spoon with milk powder and added lots of water to make milk for your bro for a whole month before realising that your bro was never full.
ME (-.-'):
Great. I am lucky. (laughing)

Mad-man?

I met a mentally unsound man on the train today. So 'lucky' of me. (>.<)
How do I know that he is mentally unsound?

If you see a man talking to himself in a language that you can TOTALLY not understand but once in a while catch some phrases in English, shouting, yelling, pointing at people, cursing, smiling, slapping his thighs with a rhythmic beat and most of all is talking none stop to himself then you will know that he is mentally unsound.

The above are all that happened on the train from Tampines to Bedok. (-.-')
He was so noisy that I felt like walking up to him to ask him to shut his mouth up but being almost 2 or 3 times bigger than me, I swallowed my words. (=B)

At first when I boarded the train, I didn't notice the man sitting at the corner but kept hearing someone speaking very loudly. Finally, I decided to turn my head around to look for the source of the voice and my eyes landed on a man wearing a red shirt and shorts who kept slapping his thighs with his hand in a rhythmic manner. I thought he was talking to someone on his earpiece as he had the earphones tucked into his ears but after observing for a few seconds, I realised there wasn't any mouthpiece to it. And, that concludes that he was talking to himself. (-.-')

He was speaking so fast and his words didn't make sense at all except maybe about 10% of it.
"SiiiiMEIII"
"DIE"
"Your mother die, your sister die"

Those were what I made out of what he said and he was pointing at a few people when he said the last sentence. Best of all, he was smiling. Really felt like wiping his smile away with a slap. The WHOLE train was staring at him. Ok, maybe not the whole train but the few cabins that were joined together.

The ride was really noisy thanks to him and everyone was frowning also thanks to him. (-.-')

Shoes, Heels *Link added

I am buying shoes and heels from this website. (=P)

First pair:
Pink flats for school!

Second pair:

Plum coloured bucket heels. I have no idea why I picked this colour instead of the safer black and white. Just love this colour. (=D)


Should I get this?

This pair gave me a carefree feeling. I am wondering if I should get it as well but looking into the shoes cabinet at home, I noticed that I have too many shoes of this or similar colour.



I want to get pretty red heels!

Materialistic?

I was told that Singapore ladies are materialistic. Are we really materialistic?
Pardon me for being frank.
The world is cruel. In order to survive in the world, you need to strive and work hard. Every single penny that you earn will be used to pay off necessities and luxury goods now and in the future. With the rising cost of living, if one is to still live in the 1990s economy 'fantasy', all that is left for is suffering.

Why?
How much does a packet of rice costs a couple of months ago?
How much does a loaf of bread costs 10 years ago?
How much does water costs 10 years ago?
How much does electricity costs 10 years ago?

All are necessities but prices continue to soar. Reality is cruel and being an ostrich doesn't helps to cope with the rising prices.

Once upon a time, you can get a job paying very well with just an 'O' Level certificate but now? You still can get a job but you cannot hope for more than 'peanuts'. Again, why? Singapore is now overflowing with university graduates and foreign expertise. Jobs are hard to come by and the once 'iron rice bowl' is now no longer one.

Prices of flats are rising at amazing rate. My grandfather used to pay only $15,000 for a 4-room flat, my dad used to pay $45,000 (if paid cash on the spot) for a 4 room flat and now a 4-room flat costs $300,000+. Who knows how much will a 4-room flat costs 10 years down the road? And, in case you haven't noticed, the flats are getting smaller and smaller. You are paying more and more for something lesser and lesser.

That is reality. So what is wrong with ladies who want to find guys who can earn a minimum of $5,000 when they hit 30? To me, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

The 5C 10 years ago, Condominium, Cash, Credit Card, Certification and Car should now change to 5C1I0O - Condominium, Cash, Credit Card, Certification, Car, Intelligence and 0 Ostrich.

So, am I really materialistic? Maybe yes but I care for my future.

Absolute boyfriend

I want Nightly Series 01!!!
Happened to come across this Japanese drama and its manga, Absolute Boyfriend.
I want a robotic boyfriend too, but I only want Nightly Series 01. (=P)
I want someone perfect to be my absolute boyfriend. Hehe. Actually I don't mind Soushi either. (=D) Afterall, he is a human and almost perfect. (=P)

Ok, I am mad now cos I didn't have enough rest nor food. Been so busy trying to prepare my students for their exams, which all miraculously fall on Monday. (-.-') Haven't had a proper lunch since Saturday and only been able to take it about 2 or 3 hours after the normal lunch hour. On top of it, 3 or 4 students everyday is tiring.

LUCKILY,
I managed to convince the mothers of 2 of my students that I will not be able to teach their sons anymore starting June.
So starting June, I will have only 6 students and nothing more. Wonderful!!! (=D)

Time to start studying again in June and hopefully it goes smoothly. (=>)
