Just finished watching 有话就说 on Chn U. About the MRT suicide incident. Actually, I find it quite appalling that some Singaporeans are shocked that such poverty exists in Singapore. They are living under the myth that all Singaporeans are just as rich as them, and only worry about their next Botox treatment, breast implant or feast at some restaurant. (breast implant only do once can liao? or few years later must 'supplement' again? I never do before, so I don't know =X)
Such is the sadness of living in your own small circle and not stepping out to take a look at the wider world. Sometimes people don't realise that there are poor people around them too. Then when nobody offers a helping hand, the tragedy happens. It's only after the jump that people wake up from their dreams and start offering help. Though the generosity of Singaporeans in general has always been well-known. But I think it's mostly limited to middle-aged people. Coz people our age only give a damn about things directly related to us. When was the last time you ate chicken rice? For the family in question, and possibly many others, they only get to eat such a dish like once a month or something, when their parents receive salary.
Haiz. Actually I think the father is quite selfish. His family has been with him through thick and thin but he chose to end his life there and then. Of course, we are in no position to comment, not having fully understood the situation. Maybe he was thinking this would make one less mouth to feed. Maybe he was thinking this could help his beloved family members. Maybe he predicted such an act would gain the attention of many others and therefore they would receive such a hefty sum of donation? I doubt so. But whatever the case, he might have solved the family's financial problems, the psychological and mental effects on his spouse and children are new problems that he has created.
Haiz. 有话就说 going to end next week. Finally can watch Yang sisters. Is it funny? I havent watched it yet. PCK coming soon!

lol. the poo, explained.
The Poo List!The Ghost Poo: The kind where you feel poo come out, see poo on the toilet paper, but there's no poo in the bowl.
The Clean poo - The kind where you feel poo come out, see poo in the bowl, but theres no poo on the toilet paper.
The Wet Poo- You wipe your butt fifty times and it still feels unwiped. So you end up putting toilet paper between your buttand your underwear so you don't ruin them with those dreadfulskid marks.
The Wet Cheeks Poo- That's the kind that comes out of your butt so fast that your butt cheeks get splashed with the toiletwater, or splash-back.
The Second Wave Poo- This poo happens when you think you've finished, your pants are up to your knees, and you suddenly realize you have to poo some more.
The Brain Haemorrhage-through-your-nose Poo- You have to strain so much to get it out that you turn purple and practically have a stroke.
The Lincoln Log Log- The kind of poo that's so enormous you're afraid to flush it down without first breaking it up intolittle pieces with the toilet brush.
The Power Dump Poo- The kind that comes out so fast, you've barely got your pants down and you're done.
The Liquid Plumber Poo- This kind of poo is so big it plugs up the toilet and it overflows all over the floor. You should have followed the advice from the Lincoln Log Poo.
The Spinal Tap Poo- The kind of poo that hurts so much coming out, you'd swear it's got to be coming out sideways.
The 'I-think-I'm-turning-into-a-bunny' Poo- When you drop lots of cute, little round ones that look like marbles and make tiny splishy sounds when they hit the water.
The 'What-the-hell-died-in-here' Poo- Also sometimes referred to as The Toxic Dump. Of course you don't warn anyone of the poisonous bathroom odour. Instead, you stand innocently nearthe door and enjoy the show as they run out a-gagging and a-gasping for air.
The 'I-just-know-there's-a-turd-still-dangling-there' Poo-Where you just sit there patiently and wait for the last cling-on to drop.

Haiz. So long nv update liao...lazy. haha...anyway the other day yu lao shi made his retirement speech. So sad...another good teacher gone. While he was talking, many others were flinching at what he said (at the language in particular) I have no idea what is wrong with these people. Anyway I'm tired of all the sniggers, remarks, comments, stares and what-nots whenever a chinese announcement is made. God! Can't people accept the language? Even if you don't speak it, listening to it for a few seconds won't kill you right. Not like we would faint and drop dead after listening to non-chinese language.
Blah. It's the official end of lessons soon. I can't say I've really enjoyed my JC life, but I've definitely made a few good friends. Hope we can stay in contact with each other even after we graduate, and after I finish becoming a green man. (no, not the traffic light one) People like Adeline, Ying Hong, YY, Ethel and the load of them. Mostly LEP people. Haha. Oh and Zhong who always tends to stick around. Don't really want to say much here too. I think what Adeline said is true...as long as we know it in our hearts, we don't have to keep proclaiming how much we treasure our friendship. Or something like that. Haha. I'm rambling again. And trying very hard not to keep watching Bleach. It's a fantastic anime, the latest I've caught on to. At least it only has 98 eps so far, and I'm stuck at 33. Unlike Naruto which has 200+ eps -_- Later watch liao cannot stop then die. Get withdrawal symptoms. The Bleach OP 1 and 2 is extremely catchy! My current favourite song is Bleach OP 2, D-technolife by UVerworld. Blah. next sat still have PP, post prelimn for LEP. Postmortem is more apt, coz we're already all dead.
