Last day at school.
Back to university on Monday.
Sucks.
Life moves too fast for my liking.
Tired, headachey, and grumpy as hell about missing my Puppy. Very. Grumpy.

Noise pollution

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

“What’s that noise in the background?” Puppy asks over the phone from camp. “Oh,” I reply, “it’s the construction.”
“At this time?” He’s incredulous and not a little pissed on my behalf, and it’s not hard to see why - it’s 11.45pm and they’re still going at it. If I remember correctly (based [...]

Things that peeve me

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

Don’t you just hate it when the toilet seat you’re sitting on is cracked, so that it pinches your bum flesh when you get up? And not just cracked in one place, either, cracked on both sides, so that you get pinched on both butt cheeks.
We need a new toilet seat in the staff [...]

OCBC can kiss my money goodbye

Monday, March 17th, 2008

After about 18 years of keeping my kids savings account with OCBC, in one afternoon they’ve completely destroyed any chance of keeping me as a client.
I’m going to close down that account and open a second account with POSB instead.
OCBC sucks monkey ass.
First the whole afternoon was spent verbally tussling with the girl at the [...]

Loath(e)

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Well, there you have it.
Teachers are just as grumpy about going back to school after holidays as the students are.
And we’re the ones who have to put a cheerful face on.
Grumps.
:(

Simlian must die

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

The field beneath my window used to be a lush, verdant, vaguely muddy, sparse sort of grassy field where (topless) men often converged to play soccer with two creaky goals.
Sometimes children would attempt to fly their kites.
I once fell and skinned my knee running across this field.
I often looked out my window and watched people [...]

Oh ow.

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Am helping puppy out with proofreading and copy-writing at the moment. It causes a physical pain in my heart to read some of the stuff I have to correct and edit.
If I had a dollar for every time I snorted in disgust or flinched during my reading, I would already have enough money to [...]

Mew says the poor thing kitty

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

I’m bloody exhausted and I want to lay down and die; only I took tea to get through the interminable meeting, so I’m too wide awake to lie down, and I have a dinner to attend, so I don’t have the time to die.
I’m so tired.

Airshow crowd

Monday, February 25th, 2008

I went for the Singapore Airshow.
Since work starts tomorrow and I am eager to sleep, it will be brief.
We drove past Pasir Ris, goggled eyes at the queue stretching round the bus interchange AND around White Sands, and promptly took a U-turn to go to Expo. Paying $5 each for a crappy bus ride [...]

Please don’t stop the music, Oh God please stop it

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

I don’t know what Rihanna’s problem is but her last two singles have been nothing short of soul-destroyingly annoying.
If I hear that song just one more time I am going to stuff the radio full of fish guts and feed it to a twelve-foot crocodile in the Amazon river.
(Wait. Are there crocs in the [...]
