Lousy Homo Sapiens
 
*SIGH* Ok, this feels so much better. And did the blogger interface changed again? I think I like it.
 
My graduation was over in a breeze. Come on, it takes more time for some typhoons to uproot a tree. The ceremony started at 3pm and ended in 50 minutes! My aunts were expecting a speech to go on forever but no, it was chop chop and over in a flash. Boy, was I surprised. Guess I have another reason to dislike my school. Not that I care anyway but I feel for those that studied for more than 4 years and had only 3 seconds on stage. What a big waste. (The institution sucks as a whole but the people in NUS are usually lovely.)
 
With the exception of the convocation, the day was fun. I had a great lunch with my 2 aunts and we talked about the genetic characteristics of being a Cheong*. Then the 3 of us walked right into a filming area cuz we were so busy talking we didn't noticed anything. Then I thought I heard someone frantically shouting at us to move away. Oops. I couldn't see who was there and I hoped it wasn't Sanada.
 
There is an Indian restuarant off Coleman street called Annalaksmi and the food's great. In fact, allow me to tell you how it works. 1. The resturant is run by volunteers. In the weekends when the volunteers are more free, you could have doctors, lawyers or IT professionals serving you. 2. The decor is lovely. 3. There are NO prices for food and drinks. 4.  You pay how much you feel the meal is worthed. I am serious here! If you think the food is less than fantastic, you might be able to get away with $2. Thing is, how much you pay automatically goes to a charity organization so there is a degree of emotional blackmail there. I haven't paid anything less than $10 so far so...guess it isn't exactly cheap. But I like how you can have good food and help people at the same time. It's a pretty good idea.
 
On Wednesday, I went to some dingy Singapore Tuft Club store and bought my first three 4D tickets. (I swear it was an errand.) Many many many sleazy old men were looking at me. What? Young women gamble too, man! (But mine was an errand) When I was done, I tore off to my rental store to borrow more TVB vcds. That calmed me down. Ha ha.
 
I went to a few blogs randomly and boy, are there many pissed off people out there. Some of these people are very very angry people and I seriously doubt they have any concrete reasons to be that negative. I shouldn't bother about it anyway but I was very shocked by one and how she went on to scream an essay of expletives at a random poor girl who was trying to show some love to her guy. There ARE really some very angry + cynical people out there and get this, they are not even 20 years old. WTF. Where did they get all these anger? I don't remember myself having alot of these teenage angst. Most of these people are living damn charmed lives and they go around bitching about inconsequential things like ugly teachers or girls writing  love poems. I can almost see a smirk on their faces when they manage to pull yet another innovative way to string 5 swear words together. *rolleyes* Kids these days need more discipline (CANINGS) and less MTV. They might be more intelligent now then 10 years ago but the kids these days don't make very good human beings.

*My surname was supposed to be Chong, not Cheong. A nurse took down my dad's particulars and somehow added in an 'e' in her confused state. Wow, she had changed an entire generation's name in a simple stroke. And what are the characteristics of being a Cheong? That's for me to know and you to find out. Mwahahaha.
