Hello ._.
Today's been a sufficiently boring day. I've been alone at home since 10am this morning, Daddy's just gone oversears, Haslinda's off to enjoy the wondrous food in Singapore 'cause Ramadhan starts tomorrow! Alisha's with her and bro's gone somewhere.. so it's just me, myself and I.
Like I mentioned last week, there's a conspiracy against me, once again today, I stepped out of the gates and felt raindrops.. and they came down harder and faster as I walked, so I decided not the walk to the MRT but to the bus-stop and take a bus to Hougang.
As I reached the bus-stop the rain stopped .. but I decided taking the bus would be a nice change. As I preferred the MRT which comes according to schedule and stops systematically and is unaffected by bad weather or traffic.
Anyway.. I was at the bus-stop for around half an hour, 'cause the bus service 107 just didnt want to come, so I just sat there listening to music and observing people.
From the TIF workshop at the start of Term3, they said 20 years down the road, 1 in 5 people we see would be above 60years old. I so beg to differ.
Just by sitting at the bus-stop I saw so many elderly folks come and go. There was one time where there was a total of 13 people, 11 were elderly ladies, me and another middle-aged man.
The older generation seem very friendly. They come in pairs or individually, at first they're sitting alone, when another one comes, they talk to each other like they've been friends for a lifetime, before I know it, I see a bunch of 6 elderly ladies chatting away.
And I see 2 teenage guys come, one sits, one stands, I continue sitting and observing, all of us are just listening to our music, one guy's smsing, another one's spacing out.
Is this what Daddy means by antisocial behaviour?
I bet he wouldn't go talk to random people either. Of course, it could be that all those old people I saw were indeed friends, but it's highly unlikely in my opinion..
Anyway, I went to check the bus directory, the guy smsing was blocking and he didn't respond at all.. ._. I just stood there like an idiot.. he finally moved away when he "felt" me staring at him, I think. I realised how stupid I had been. 3 buses terminated at Hougang, and I had to choose 107 to wait for, when 153 passed by thrice and 147 twice.
I eventually got on the 4th 153 and right behind the 153... was a freakin 107.
-.-
At times like that, I really feel retarded.
I was pretty dazed when I went out, I tripped a guy unintentionally and he glared and glared and glared at me .. and I just ignored him ^^ and when I got off the bus, I turned and smiled at him, and he glared back furiously. lawl.
I walked blindly round Hougang Mall and yay I got what I needed went home.. there was this person who ran down the stairs at an incredible pace, and one funny guy who was going up the escalator, turned and went back down ..
Observing people is a cool hobby (:
I'm really bored, so I'm gonna lengthen this post by sharing some of the things I dislike.. I wanted to post this yesterday but was too lazy.. anyway, unlike morons I don't have a section on the sidebar that says "Hates" which include stuff like "Backstabbers, Liars, Cheaters, Chikopeks etc." because those kind of people are detested universally, what's the dayuum point of putting it there.
Anyway, my little list of dislikes I thought of in the library yesterday.
2. Automatic Flushers
They seriously annoy me. It's a lousy invention alright, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who finds them redundant, it just shows how dependent humans are becoming on technology. ._.
3. Say NO to Piracy Ads/ Know Drugs Campaign
I don't see the point of such stuff. There was a debate held in Monfort Secondary School last year "This house believes that Piracy will cause the Entertainment Industry to collapse." Serious problem aye? Wouldn't it be horrible if everyone went along with Piracy and the Entertainment Industry died. But then again, without the Entertainment Industry, Piracy dies too.
If people wanna abuse drugs, why not just let them, it's their life they're throwing away. Why bother to warn them, it's not like they're gonna care.
4. Non-Slip-Resistant Footwear
Being accident prone, I really appreciate slip-resistant footwear, especially when the rainy season's here. I was being extremely careful just now, 'cause I chose comfort over safety when going to Hougang and regretted it massively when I had no hands to support myself in case I slipped. Do not give me footwear that's not slip resistant.
5. Wet Ground
Other then making me fall, I dislike it when the ground is wet, 'cause it's so easily dirtied or there's icky stuff around. After it rains, you go walk in slippers and you'll bring home lotsa new friends.
6. Sunlight
Even without the problem of Astigmatism, I like aritificial lighting more, it's so much more dazzling, like spotlights and chandeliers. Sunlight's boring. One shade of yellow all day and it's harmful to eyes and skin. ._. I really wanna slap Daddy for putting Orange curtains in my room, it just worsens the Sunlight problem. As if, 6 windows and a balcony isn't enough Sunlight to kill me.
7. Horror Movies
It's thrilling I agree, it's even more thrilling when I get hallucinations and hear voices and become scared of the dark and going anywhere alone or hearing any strange noises. wheee, I'm spending money to scare myself, and amaze myself the wonders of stage make-up on a person. What's more incredible is an actor scaring herself to death after the 3rd movie.
1. Real and Fake Lizards and Frogs
Now that I think about it, I don't like all insects, arachnides, reptiles and amphibians. Maybe except turtles and snakes, not that I like them, I don't mind them.
Urghh, byebye, I need to mentally prepare myself for my last dinner and a month of experiencing poverty.
