HUGE thanks to everyone really, for a sincere gesture, no matter how small, goes a loooooong way!
oh yes not forgetting the presents! thanks everyone!
oh yeah on a side note, there was this article or rather, a photo caption that i saw in TNP yesterday. the photo depicted a metal security gate at HDB lift landings to keep out non-residents. it was implied that only residents with their key-card could unlock the gate.
so the caption went somewhere along the lines of "residents unhappy with new security system because they find it inconvenient, especially if they forget their cards". when i read this, i was flabbergasted. what kind of a world do we live in where it is socially acceptable to blame others for your own shortcomings?! the security gate there weeds out undesirable characters from loitering around blocks for whatever sinister purposes and the best thing you can say is "oh this sucks, what if i forget my card"? come on people! it's nobody's fault if you dont have the basic discipline to bring along proper "security measures" as it were. what next? do we rant at the airport for refusing us entry if we forget our passport or boarding pass? hey you know while we're at it, let's blame the traffic police for hauling us back to the station if we drive without our driving license!
seriously such over-dependency really hits a nerve with me. how do we expect society to become more enlightened and progress when we have people who cannot see the bigger picture and blame others for their own incompetence?
i put it to everyone that there is no relevant difference between the above examples i've mentioned and this security gate issue. if the government is even considering the residents' complaints to be a legitimate issue, then i am sorely disappointed. if this were the case, why should the mollycoddling stop here? in fact, if people find security measure a hindrance, then remove ALL form of it why don't you?!
come on! take some ownership over your own lives. seriously.
hmm saw this posted by chewie.

oops, guess we know what this means haha.
hmm past 2 days of so-called "break" and both days i've been to school. that in itself is not too bad. except going to school is the best alternative i have haha, and THAT is sad. staying at home is .. boring, there's just four walls and nobody to talk to.
went to sch yesterday for econs project. we got quite a lot done whee. finished ahead of schedule in fact. had a quick lunch in school, saw both peter and louisa there. then went to look for tai wei and esther for AS consultation. hmm suffice to say i emerged from consultation with more doubts than when i entered haha. but well at least i know what im supposed to do, just not how to do it.
met zh in school today. we did some work for about 3 hours then went for lunch. oh yeah also ran into jeremy who gave me rather depressing news rofl. sighs. why do i bother sometimes. anyway chilled at starbucks awhile with zh, trying to get out of the funk that the news brought on. after that pretty much no mood to continue studying so he came over and we attempted to play dota haha. but he kept getting d/c zz. so in the end challenged winning eleven head-to-head haha. played random countries, so fun! oh yeah also PWNED him at table soccer earlier hah~!
well done! i've been thoroughly OWNED by Stats 102. the battle was somewhat as follows:
You've spent some time practising Stats.
Stats mastery is now [average]

Stats 102 Mid-term Exam **pwned** you!
hmm yeah. so no more A for sure. would be very satisfied if i scraped a B. man, im so bummed by stats it completely takes the euphoria out of me regarding yesterday's econs paper. what a 180. just yesterday i was absolutely thrilled to find that i'd gotten 100.0 for econs. when i first saw it i was like "oh ok, its upon 100.0, so whats my score". was a really fantastic moment, prob havent gotten 100 for anything since pri sch.
siiiiiiigh
