Continuation to the bookshop aunty story which i had posted on the previous post

I went to the ever so crowded bookshop today to buy my calculus text again.

YES!! ITS AGAIN!!

Its the 3rd time i went there to queue and be back empty handed. This time round, the aunty told me that the container have yet to open hence they have yet to receive any calculus books and she further emphasised that the container is really in singapore now and also said that she was not lying to me. Since, theres no books, that means no homework for me for calculus. You might be thinking im Yeahing! now, but much to your surprise, im not those kind of no homework do then happy de people. Im not so shallow, can? I like GinKo nuts cause im a Geeko! It rhymes! Maybe i should also start writing poems apart from drawing.

So, conscientious, diligent, hardworking me, you name it, I photocopied the questions with a friends friend where the book was borrowed from my friends friends friend.

Report books and acheivements

While preparing my resumé for my attachment, I went through my report books and certs and found out some very nice comments and acheivements I had. Shan't I write them here?

Yes, i should.

Dont deny that you wouldnt want to know

Being a big kaypoh

visiting my blog every now and then,

Im here to satisfy your needs, wants and desires

And your hunger for wanting to know ME better.

(Mildly Disguted, ppl may tell me that they shall stop visiting my blog, but dont fake lo)

In my primary 1-3 school years,

He is very helpful.
He is very responsible.
He is pleasant and polite.
A very well-behaved and responsible boy.
Johnathan has done well, keep up the good work.

Teachers think that kids dont really understand English well and hence kept their comments short and simple. In fact, they are lazy.

I'll proceed with the nicer words,

Johnathan is a promising pupil and it is a great joy teaching him.
Johnathan is an enthusiastic and highly motivated student who has maintained a high standard of performance.
Johnathan has the ingredients for success. (So sweet ya!)

I'll stop here. Being modest is a virtue. ya!.

Spectacles

I know my specs are nice, so Thank you for trying to copy me by making a pair of specs thats the same shape as mine, and same colour as well. What great honour!

Brown Meat

And today, there was a piece of delicous brown meat in front of me.

Delicous. Its just like the dog and the bone or meat story.

Random Advice

Friggly Friday with lots of rain. Bring your brollies along.

Random Story

We had calculus lecture on monday and were told to buy a 22 bucks calculus textbook from the bookshop. Being conscientious students, we tried to purchase the book immediately just after the lecture which ended at 6pm. But, it was out of stock. The lady there told us to come back on Friday cause new stocks will arrive.

Friday came and we went happily to get the calculus text, wanting badly to spend away some 22 bucks to get the long missed similar Amaths textbook that we liked it so much during the secondary days. On seeing a long queue, we decided to ask the lady if the book had arrived.

She replied, "oh calculus reach already, along with the other books in the same container, dont worry."

WHICH IS WHAT!!

She gave a dumb answer, "its in Singapore le, dont worry."

GO AND DIE!! (I was thinking only, Im not a rude boy)

what for i want to know whether its in Singapore or Malaysia, IF its not here then its not here. Aunties, arrggghhh. !!

Conversely, there are some aunties that are nice and not so dumb ones. I met 2 of them recently and apparently it seems that nice aunties are often found selling food.

Value-added employee

I had ordered starfruit juice and she asked if i would like to add watermelon to it so as to reduce the siab siab taste. In addition, she also suggested that adding salt would also be able to reduce the siab siab taste and furthermore reducing heatiness.

Making people happy employee

This time, I ordered cold home made barley from one of the vendor. She collected money from me and went to prepare my drink. I had to wait a while cause she had to add ice and shake to make the hot home made barley cold. Another vendor "eng eng" nothing to do, then talked to me. I was wearing some bling bling dogtag at that time.

She said, Eh xiaodi, ni de zhuan shi heng liang leh, auntie de dou mei you zhe mo liang, heng mei leh.

Then i replied, "ni xi huan ah, then wo bian yi mai ni, yi qian jiu hao."

Auntie continued, "yao ni song wo la, hai mai." My drink came and was going to leave.

That auntie's final words, "zhen de heng mei, zhen de."

HAHA!! IT MADE MY DAY!!

Then now, people say that: "oh, your taste similar to aunty, ha.ha.ha"

LouSY, you all are just jealous. jealous. JEALOUS.

Random Lessons

I like free hand drawing classes. Cause i can draw well. The classes are held once a week for 3 hours and it is fun. fun. FUN. Though there are some spoilers to it. Sometimes i do think that i should be in the design school. The class teaches you to observe and draw instead of drawing from your own imagination which i think i cant for the latter.

See picture below.

See!! IM gifted in drawing. !!

YEAR 3 Class 5
School will be starting tmr, with the first week going at ease and subsequently the burden will be heavier with projects and stuff piling up. Its the last year of poly life. Time goes by so so fast. And im a 19 year old.

██
Nineteen é Number
19 years and have I been living my life to the fullest?

When fullest equals to a 100 percent, I think, ive only acheived 40 out of the 100. Quite pathetic though. Neither having enough academic nor non-academic acheivement. Never really looking forward to occasions or stuff or even knowing exactly the things that i like. Not finding enough fulfilment in life. Had goals but yet to attain them. And do i really know the direction that im going?

When am i going to start to live properly?!
Hope it'll be tommorrow.

██
A BIG BIG YA!!
Its going to be tommorrow

Accompanying me will be my new bag, which im very proud of it. Ive always been proud of my bags. Though previously, the projectshopbloodbros bag that i had carried had me checked thrice by the SMRT security guards and that bag was also criticised by many that it looked way below its pricetag. I still like that bag very much. Back to my new bag, its a nike one. I seldom buy bags that are like common, where many people will be seen carrying the same one. But, I still bought it. The colour is nice and the shape is nice. Inside the bag, will be the key identifiable item which many would recognise as my long long water bottle that can fill 1.2litres of water. But this time, i will be downgrading the long long water bottle to a shorter one so as to save home water consumption. An also a new notebook, with my timetable handdrawn by myself since ill not receive any free timetable drawn for me from the timetable person this time. A pencil case, the old puma one with 1 pencil, 1 blue ink ball point pen and 1 black ink fountain pen inside it. And lastly, a file with a stack of papers for the printing of notes.

Regulars following me include, my white sonyericsson phone with 104 songs inside, my wallet, my keys with stussy keychain, either red or blue packing tissues.

Turista is a horrible gore movie which features stapling of a open wound on the head so as to seal it to prevent further bleeding and using a satay stick poking into someones eyes and continuingly squashing further into it and the camera just wont go to another scene and it continuously show the very gross scene of the satay stick going further into that persons eye. Its an M18 show btw, and im surprise that the uncle checking the tickets did not ask for my IC. It was like one year ago when i was still 17 and wanted to watch a M18 show and that person checked our ICs. Does the face like change so much over a year? And finally I had the chance to walk into Vivocity's cinema because I did not have the opportunity to watch a movie there when im stuck at the Sentosa Campus.

And i bought a new bag some days ago for my 3rd year at school. (sounds abit HarryPotter-3rd year at Hogwarts)

I had also booked my first practical car session scheduled to be at 25 april, wed, 10:20.

Lastly, Tps timetable is going to be out tomorrow at 10am.

Accounts of a public swimming pool

A public swimming pool is different from a private one. A public one is often more crowded as compared to private pools such as the ones at condominiums, clubs, resorts or hotels. Over crowding is a major problem at pools. It deters a swimmer from completing laps at ease even at the competition pool which is meant for that purpose .

The swimmer will often have to dodge people coming from all sorts of directions. (Arnt you wondering isnt it just the front where you'll have to dodge) It is because some people whom themselves claim that they cant finish the length so will have to stick to the breath. These people should just use the medium or learning pool in this case. The swimmer will have to be aware of his left, right and front.

Please note that Im clearly differentiating pool users as people and pool swimmers as swimmers. These people include: parents (those that teach their children to swim the breath and at the same time acting as if they are professionals), children learning swimming (I cant fault them, since they are performing under their instructors instructions), those that talk at the edge.

These people when swimming tend to open their eyes but not using them. They just swim, be it length or breath, just swim be it if theres a person swimming towards their direction, they think that they have the right of way at ALL TIMES. Children are still alright, but adults are simply incorrigibly inconsiderate. So if these inconsiderate adults collide at the children then it'll be er. not very nice. And i saw that happening today, luckily both are adults. Blind knocking against the blind.

Next issue is about the kids. Why do they often bring kids transporting them from school to the pool then back to the school again. Isnt it like troublesome? What if the kids get lost or something since its so so messy with them around. And the kids are like in hideously huge amounts choking up the pool the changing room and all these. Maybe schools should have pools ya. A female teacher was shouting at the entrance of the guys changing room: "Johnathan, Joel, come out now.!" Isnt this dumb, they should have at least a male and female teacher accompanying the school kids to the pool. I heard her calling, so I was like, Ya. Johnathan's here lo.

And i hate the murky waters which people have like urinated or see that plaster floating in the water.

Living in a condominium would then be much more nicer. With a clean pool to yourself. Though i dont swim that often.

One weird story

Some people just eat lesser just to lose some weight. (But can they really lose that some tiny puny numbers in decimels)
People wanting to lose weight hence they exercise, maybe say, once a week? (It aint enough de lor)
However some exercise, not to lose weight but just to be fit and be prepared for NS. (How fit is considered fit? huh? HUH!! HUUHHHH!! you tell me!!)
Preparing for NS? Dont need lar. (This aint my case)

AMK HUB

Ang Mo Kio hub, a new shopping mall integrating the bus terminal into it is just located next to the AMK MRT line. It is quite big, especially the bus terminal. Big in the sense that it really has really high ceilings. And one thing special bout the hub is that it made me freezingly cold each time i made a visit there. I used to have high defence against the air-con, but now, losing all the powers. Questioning myself, am i weaker now than before? Weak health? No?

Staying at home

Ive been staying at home, sleeping early daily for 5 days already. In the past, i felt that being alone at home makes time going so slow. But now, i have like so many things to do at home, reading harry potter, music books, advance theory for traffic, practicing guitar, cleaning and clearing up my room. Running 1/2 an hour around my neighbourhood or stretching with loud music playing in my room (stretching makes ppl taller, thats what i always think), watching television programmes or movies or to cook some chicken stock?? . And surfing net, msning and playing old computer games. These stuff do make my time pass faster. Okay, i admit that im saying that im bored in an indirect manner.

Fish Philosophy

Eating fish philosophy is carried out, since the day i mentioned it a few days ago. On Saturday, i had fish & co's fish and chips. Its deep fried though. On Sunday, i had home cooked sliced promfet porridge for lunch and fish soup with rice for dinner. And also, Friday had salmon sashimi at Sakae Sushi as well. I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE SUSHI BUFFET ANYMORE!! THEY ARE A WASTE OF MONEY!!

Im going to talk more about me. How johnathan behaves in his life.

1. Loud and noisy where ill talk a lot, exchanging my views and such
2. Quiet and non-chalant, minding my own stuff and i dont really talk a lot, it appears that i am angry but im not
3. Angry and furious where arrows of words are often exchanged
4. Emo and feeling that sadness fills the world
5. Happy and am feeling real good
6. Quiet and black-faced, this can be quite similar to no.2, the only difference is that im feeling real angry now
7. A behaviour of me not understood by myself but can be seen by the people around me
8. Unknown trait

Being a frequent mood swinger, ill change from behaviour to behaviour.
So which behaviour do you all prefer me to be??? But ill change, REAL fast.

So what am i suppose to say with all the conversations made!! They hit me hard and im speachless. But nevermind. I have my own philosophy in life. (like eating fish is healthy and i shall eat more fish) Though it may seem that these stuff are simple and it reflects that im not "deep" enough for some, but it is the way that i view what life is all about. People will have to make sure that they understand me well enough or even thoroughly enough before making false accusations and claims about me. Shoot me and ill shoot you back!! A strong statement? No? Some may think: "what sort of english is this, shoot? Shoot what, bamboo shoot?" If youve all the evidence that can prove that im in the wrong, bring it on and ill admit that im wrong.

If you can convince me.

I passed my basic theory test and with flying colours. cos sure A1 de. (Its meant to be a lame joke) And moreover, I was the first to leave the examination venue and walked out sat sat. OKaY!! its just basic theory lor... And i went to check the dates that i can book for my practical lessons. its like 1 month later. diao~~ sian sian sian lor. Hai. But im not too eager to drive a car la. Frankly speaking, if not i would've been more enthusiastic like, once i turned 18 then i go take driving lessons le. And I started some reading, i maybe lagging far behind, reading harry potter's order of phoenix, but at least i started reading. If i would to complete the book, it would be the thickest book that i have ever read. Now im heading for chapter 3 soon. For the past few days, ive been sleeping before my scheduled bedtime. 1130pm. So guess thats an acheivement and i wouldnt want to break my bedtime rule for anyone, anything and whatever elses.

Whats red white and pure? Its a very nicey looking place by Eu Yan Sang. Quite surprised that it was opened by them cos the design of RWP is chic and clean. Its been a long time since i last visited vivocity and sentosa. Dunno whens the next time ill visit those 2 places. And im happy that im back to temasek poly but still will miss sentosa campus. Do you think Singapore is small? Some say yes some say no. For me ill say no, cos there are still lotsa places i have yet to visit.

My hair is getting longer, but not long enough to motivate me to give it a cut. Its been like 3plus months. And its been quite long that i last used the clay thing. So when i used that clay on my hair, it means that im meeting important ppl, important functions or events or that im just feeling happy and at the same time a bit hiao. On reading this, please do not assume that im saying that i am feeling unhappy all these days. From my way of looking at whether i should be happy about life or not, i think that im quite happy with it la. Really. Like I am surrounded by a bunch of good people, family and friends. But these good people sometimes can be dumb at times but at least they are good souls living in the world. And im quite satisfied with who i am. The way i am. The way i think. The way i behave. Actually i do feel proud of myself. And i have money to spend on things that i want to buy. A nice house to live in, ample food available for me. So my lifes good. I AM happy with it. But there can be improvements though and ill work hard towards improving the quality of my life.

Done badminton and swimming for the past week but no running. NS is coming!! Must remind myself.
