FREE MOVIES

It pays to be a daughter of a civil servant. Well, most of the time. With my dad working for the the government, he has come across cases where teens go astray (aka bengs & lians) and he gets so paranoid about me becoming one of them, that he doesn't allow me to stay out late (unlike my PRIMARY SCHOOL days).

I mean, if I can stay out after 9pm when I was just 11 years old, why can't I come back home after 1am when I'm 17? Being older and wiser, I am more streetwise than I used to be 6 years back, am I not? Hmm... I bet he thinks I'm attached.

THAT MUST BE IT!!!! He thinks I have a boyfriend. Parents these days are just so full of paranoia. They get tensed up over the slightest issues. Whatever.

Ok, back to the main point. I have been invited to watch "Madagascar" tomorrow!!! Better yet, I don't have to fork out a single cent. It's totally F.O.C.!!!! (Thank you, SAF!!!!!! *huge kiss*)

But still, why are they only inviting me to watch that show 1 month after it has been released? Why don't let me watch it on the opening date huh?! Wah lao... also don't give me free tickets to the preview of "Batman begins". Bleah! (But getting free entries AND POPCORN is not a bad deal hor? ok! I'm not gonna complain liao.)

------------------------------------------------------

Tuition lessons have been getting better and better! Is it because of the new environment? The newly installed air-con? Or the fact that I'm aiming for a distinction in maths?

Who cares about reasons anyway? I'M FINALLY LEARNING TO LIKE MATHEMATICS! Give 'em all to me: Geometry, Trigonometry, Vectors, Locus, Probability etc. etc. "pala pa pa pa! I'm lovin' it!"


I recalled something that happened to me while I was on my way back home from tuition. There I was, walking on this narrow lane with a middle-aged woman strolling slowly in front of me. 5 words flashed in my head: GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't even try and talk to me about my impatience. That pathway is for people to walk to the coffee shop or bus stop. NOT FOR ANYONE, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR A MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN TO TAKE HER TIME TO STROLL DOWN WHILE SWINGING A PLASTIC BAG FULL OF THINGS IN HER RIGHT HAND.

Like hello, I'm in a hurry to get home to pee! Will you do me a favour and just siam?! I don't see a need to be reasonable about such stuff. You people can say, "Maybe she isn't aware that you were behind her?" yada yada yada. I'm not listening.

At the rate she's moving, a blind man could complete a 10km marathon before she even reaches the end of the path. This is no ordinary comparison... neither is it a baseless one. THERE WAS A BLIND MAN walking on the very same lane and he still managed to overtake her despite needing help with a walking stick.

As for me, I had no luck in overtaking her. How could I?! She was swinging that bloody plastic bag in her right hand. How to overtake huh?

But I heck. I strode to her left and shoved her away. Wahahahahaha!!!!!!!!! That teaches you for being so inconsiderate. Think that path is your grandfather built one arh? Knn. And please hor, nobody is interested in whatever you have in your plastic bag. SO STOP SWINGING IT AROUND. Idiot.

Moral of the story: Never block the way of someone who needs the loo urgently.
