Complexity

Stalker or Hungry Ghost Festival?

Creepy things sure do happen during the Hungry Ghost Festival. One thing that is totally freaking me out is Friendster. We all noe Friendster has this tracker that actually shows you the number of times your profile is being viewed by others online. I dunno wads the case for u people out there, but the highest number that appeared on my friendster homepage was about 200 plus views for a particular month. That's the HIGHEST i've seen. I assume on the more 'normal' months, the number of views should not hit higher than 200.

Well, something really creepy happened to my profile hits this month. After much considerations and feedbacks from close friends, we came to the conclusion that its the Hungry Ghost Festival. Why? Just take a look at this..

An Ugly Singaporean

I type this post, feeling very disturbed by something i witness today at Giordano Compasspoint.

Its been quite sometime since i last went out with my family and today being sunday, we decided to head down to Compasspoint. I'm not going to elaborate on my reapings but i will talk about this encounter that happened at Giordano.

See, there is this sale going on at Giordano so Yan Ping and i decided to go in and take a look. After trying whatever we wanted to try, i walked to the cashier and waited in line for my turn to pay. In front of me was this lady, the ugly singaporean in this case, who had came to collect her jeans, which she had sent for free alteration at Giordano. As there was onli one available counter, i had to wait for the ugly singaporean to finish fussing whatever she was fussing about.

So there i was, standing in line patiently, when all of a sudden, the rude singaporean raised her voice like.. 10 notches up, roaring at the poor sales lady. So i looked over and saw wad the ugly singaporean was fussing about. Apparently, she was dissatisfied with the outcome of the alteration, complaining that the hem of the jeans were well, poorly sewn (is there such a word?). Den she went on and on about how the hem of the jeans is not supposed to be like this or like dat blah blah blah.. Mind you, i was still in queue. Den she demanded for a measuring tape, which thte poor sales lady quickly got for her. SO while the ugly singaporean was measuring the length of the altered jeans, its onli natural that the sales lady tend to me first, coz by dat time, i had waited for about 5 mins. So the ugly singaporean continued measuring inch by inch the length of her jeans (obviously she's unhappy with the outcome of the alteration and thus she's looking at every minor detail hoping to find fault and then demand for a refund) while the sales lady tended to me.

Den.. having measured down to the millimetres of her pair of jeans and not finding fault in the measurement, the ugly Singaporean did something that completely shocked both the sales lady and myself.

SHE FUCKING THREW THE MEASURING TAPE AT THE SALES PERSON and shouted 'this is unacceptable' !!!!!! SHE THREW THE MEASURING TAPE AT THE SALES PERSON! THREW. Did i mention she threw the measuring tape at the poor sales lady????!!!!!!

I had a sudden rush of adrenaline to turn around to the fucking ugly singaporean, who thinks she paid a fucking 100,000 bucks for the pair of jeans and another 5000 bucks for the alteration service, and giving her a lecture on her fucked up behaviour!! ARGH!!!!!!!! I AM SO FUCKING ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wad right does she has to THROW the tape at the sales lady?? So wad if she's a customer??????? I dun give a damn even if she's the president! Since when its alright to treat a fellow singaporean, no, make it fellow human being, this way?!?!?!?!? R-O-A-R!!!!!!!!!! Fuck man! What happened to all the courtesy that all parents try to inculcate in their kids??!? Slowly disfuse as you grow older???!! Gone with the wind?!?!?! FUCK man!

I could practically feel the anger in the sales person. But she did a good job of disguising it. She even smiled at the ugly singaporean and said 'please give me a moment mdm' (coz i was paying!) And you know what the response of the ugly singaporean was? She shot back 'my car is waiting downstairs OK! I dun have time for all this stupid nonsense!' *&#$^$!(#*$#&%*271&@^!#&@*@ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!! She saying I GOT ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD TO WAIT FOR HER TO FINISH KAOBEI-ING LAH?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!!? FUCK OFF LAH CHAO CHEE BYE! I hope her fucking chee bye fucking ROTS tonight!!!!!! I would have shot right back at the fucking slut if i wasn't rushing off. CB. ARGh!!!!!! SO BLOODY ANGRY!!!!! Where's the courtesy?? Where's the sympathy for the poor girl who probably worked her ass off the entire day, onli to have her day made worse by this kind of rude and insensitive bitch!!? Someone ought to teach dat bitch a lesson. A lesson on MANNERS. Back to basics. FUck man.

Having said all that, i sincerely hope dat you guy, my dear friends, do not act this way. We are educated people. Please don't give others the impression that we're the most ill-mannered people on earth.

FireWorks 2006

Been watching so many rounds of fireworks display dat i realise it could actually be boring. ahAHah.. I don't mean to rub salt into wounds of people who wan to watch the displays but can't make it due to work or wadever reasons, but its true, if you'd watch 3 out of 4 of the fireworks display, u would find it boring too. The only one dat i missed was the first round, Italy i tink. Heard it was not bad at all~

Caught the 2nd one with Fangwen at Marina Square. Nice~~~ Loved the ending. It was so nice, i had goose bumps all over. Then i caught the 3rd display with my girls. At the esplanade. Disappointing. Only the ending was not bad. Its was only not bad... it wasn't good. Since i was meeting my girls, naturally we had to bring along a camera. The main motive was to take some pics of the fireworks. But we ending up taking onli pictures of ourselves. ahAHah.. As usual. Anyway, there's no point in taking the fireworks. We're always 2 seconds slow. By the time the camera actually captured the picture, the fireworks are gone and all u end up with is a black sky. After the fireworks display, we headed to Harry's. Got stuck in human traffic for god knows how long. Its like, we could see Harry's. In fact, it was right in front of us. But because there were soOoOoO many people, it took us close to 20 mins wad usually would take 5 seconds to get to Harry's. After 2 rounds of beers and martinis and margaritas and some funny ice blended drink dat QiuYing ordered, we proceeded to Makan Sutra. AhHAhAah.. We had so much fun, although by the end of everything, we were sticky and tired.

Then i went to watch the final one again yesterdae, with ahMAh and her folks. My goodness, i was supposed to meet ahmah at One Fullerton after Shawn's Birthday party, which i had to leave early and i'm very sorry shawn~. By the time i arrived at Fullerton, it was about 8.30. Walked to the traffic light to cross the heavily digested road, only to get stopped by 3 traffic police, saying that we're not allowed to cross the road anymore. Wonderful~ Tried calling AhmAh, no network! Even better!

In the end, i had to walk all the way back to clifford pier and use the over head bridge. You could say i RAN all the way. Squeezed my way through, alone, and by 8.45, i was stuck at the entrance of One Fullerton. Couldn't find ahmah and for a min, i really thought i was going to watch the display all by myself! *sob* Thank GOD ahmah's tall and i finally managed to spot her after like 10 mins of squeezing my way around, being cursed by everyone else. I wad perspiring like a dog by the time i managed to squeezed my way to ahmah's side. The view was wonderful. The beginning was a bit boring, but the ending.... the ending was.... Amazing~~~ The fireworks in the water wad beauuuutiful~~~~~~. Definitely made my trip worth while. After the fireworks display ended, we had to walk all the way back to Lau Pa Sat, where ahmah's dad parked. Took us about 45 mins coz there were soOooO many people. Den it took us another hour to get from Lau Pa Sat to my place, which usually only requires half an hour if u're travelling by bus during peak hour. Traffic was a nightmare. But i'd say it was all quiet worth the trouble.

So.. some pictures taken during our girl's night out. While waiting for the fireworks to start.

Nonsense again...

Decent one~

I'm not posting the fireworks pics taken dat day coz... there's no point. All u can see are heads and trees.

At Harry's.. i'm starting to become red after only a Heineken.

Cheese~

Qiuying ought to have a fingers chopped off!

These people just can't let me get a decent pic of myself. Selfish bitches.

Dats all we took.... old already. We're not who we used to be... ahAHhaAH...

ANyway.. got 2 fotos of the fireworks display taken during the last erm.. display. Enjoy... Better than nothing.
