Just now I was quite shocked to watch a documentary programme on TV whereby some cats were being killed. The way the cats were being murdered is really horrible. They smashed and kicked the cats repeatedly.
Moreover, it is not an individual case. Dozens of cats were being killed by different people in separate incidents. They showd the photographs of the dead cats and its really scary. I wonder how could these people be so cruel. Even if they don't like cats, just ignore them lah, don't have to kill them.
Its not that I am a cat-lover, or rather I don't really fancy cats as well but all I would do is keep a distance from them. I think these people are really psycho. If they want to vent their anger, they can do it to objects and not living things mah. Crazy.
I remembered in the past, when I was taken care by my grandmother, I used to see many stray cats at that area and a couple of them were being abused. They had tails that wre burnt or very short tail, which I presume to be cut off. Its really scary how people will do such stuff.
Haiz. Crazy people.
Argh...what are the characteristics of Sg culture. I can't think of any leh, how to write journal. Haiz, just had an argument with my Mum somemore, sometimes really cannot understand what she is doing.

Wow today is my first time stepping into bugis village after around 2 months. Miss the place so much, especially the shopping there. But actually not many shops changed, just the things that they sell are abit different now because of the navy fashion, but can still find the shops that we used to go. Its so disappointing. Quite a number of shops closed quite early. Agnes and I didn't manage to buy tees from the shop that we bought from the last time. Sad. Other day must go in the afternoon. But I still managed to buy one top although we were there for a short while only. That top was rather ex but I don't have that kind so I just ren xin mai xia lai.
We went to Sim Lim square also to buy cartridges and router. But in the end, we went off empty-handed. There are not many imitations for HP cartridges. Disappointed.

Yeah...today is the start of recess. Happy and sad at the same time.
On Saturday, we went to Cathay for a movie, Devil wears Prada. Ya, its an old show but we could not decide on what show to watch and the number of new shows quite limited also. But its a nice movie, quite funny at times and the clothes are really nice. It has been such a long time since we went out together. We had our dinner at Cafe Cartel and we were there for a long time chatting as well as to wait for the movie to start. Wow, didn't know that first class honours is really so hard to get and the salary for Arts Honours grad is quite low also. Hm...need to work really hard le. In the MRT, we spoke to an auntie whose daughter grad frm NTU engineering and working in Japan now. She said that during the grad ceremony and during final exams, there will be companies coming to the campus and offer jobs. Her daughter got the job during the grad ceremony period. If I didn't remember wrongly, her pay was $2K-$3K. Aiyo, I think my pay next time better be around that range or higher if not really feel wasted after so many years of studying and the high costs my parents have to pay. No wonder so many grads are complaining.
Yesterday, I was supposed to go canvassing for WSC but had a fever. Wonder how it turned out. Hm...later ask Pancake how is it. I think its a good experience. Have to wait for next year le.

Finally I'm done with the tests this week. Yesterday was the first time we did a Soci test and I was quite nervous about it cos didn't know what kind of questions are tested in Soci. I would say that the questions tested need abit of thinking and analysing, not just regurgitating everything out. Today had MCQ test also and I just passed. Got 60% only. I think that will be a C? Need to work hard le.
Anyway, just now after the test, me and Denise decided to go to K-box for releasing the stress. Haha. Wow! Denise really improved alot! She's singing with more power now and can really control her voice quite well (except for the first few songs when her voice haven warmed up..haha). Her music class really paid off. Aiyo, my singing really sucks just now, especially when compared to Denise. Haha...went out of tune several times and always cant have the melody in my mind, need to hear the singer singing or Denise at the side singing, then I can sing properly. Luckily no outsider, if not very paiseh.
Oh ya, just now got one friend her eyes were swollen and she keep tearing, because of wearing contact lenses to sleep yesterday. Scary. I didn't know that wearing contact lenses to sleep is so scary. Must remind myself not to sleep with contact lenses on.

Although today is my birthday, I don't feel very excited or delighted about it. I think as we grow older, birthdays become more and more boring and meaningless. Perhaphs its because there is no one special to share it with. Or maybe there is nothing exciting about growing old now. In the past, maybe its because I look forward to the celebrations and hoping to grow up faster so that Mummy won't control me that much. But I think now, I don't really wish to grow up that fast. How I wish I am just a child now. Irony.
On my way home just now, I was thinking that time really pass so fast. I have lived for 19 years already. It seems like just yesterday went I was still in pri sch. 19 is a big number I think. After 19 years, sad to say, I still duno what is my goal in life. I really duno wad my future will be like also. I think all these 19 years, all that I have achieved is creating headaches and hurting others around me. I cant think of anything that I am proud of, really. How I wish I can turn back time and I will not do the things that I have done.

Argh...so much work...i'm doing my assignments now but got a mental block so decided to pop in here for a while.
I have my hands on Jay's album already! All thanks to Seet and Agnes. Muack...thx alot. They bought me Jay's album, mascara and eye make-up remover as my bdae pressie. Haha juz nice Jay juz came out with this new album so they no need to tnk hard what to buy haha. But I haven got a chance to listen to the album. I want to man man xiang shou it.
Last night we went for YJ gala dinner and honestly speaking, the food dun really worth the 80 bucks. But the whole atmosphere, meeting with friends and teachers and getting to know more about YJ make it worthwhile lah. Agnes and Seet were so funny during the dinner. Esp Agnes who did some quite embarrasing stuffs several times. haha. As usual, Oral B started boasting about his drinking capacity and I was surprised that Hack It frequents clubs. Everything ended at around 10 plus and we were tired.

Ok...back to work now.

Today is my first time going into an aged home. The home has a very good concept of a "home" in a HDB flat. The 2nd to 4th floor of a HDB flat was converted into a home with many individual rooms for the elderly to live in. This way, they can have their privacy.
Although me and Pei Kiat joined together, we were separated into different groups. So sad. We saw Ai Ling, Denise's friend and another YJcian who I cant remember her name. She is Pei kiat friend. But eventually all in different groups so qiao right. I was left alone in my group which has alot of chi-na and Viet.
I think that its a good experience. The elderly were very friendly and even invited us into their rooms (which is actually a one-room flat). When you walk along the corridor and see them, they will say hi to you. Although its the first time I am there, I did not feel like a stranger there. I think I feel better there than my first time in NTU. Haha duno why oso.
There are quite few seniors compared to our cohort. There are abt 20 seniors but there were around 50 of us. But heard that the turn round rate is high. I saw one senior who looks like my cousin's cousin. Haha but I dun think its him. They have that very "refined" look. Haha. A number of seniors had already graduated or are in their fourth year le. Wah quite old le.

Yesterday, me, Denise and MJ went back to YJ for teachers' day celebrations. We managed to find all the 4 teachers (Li hua, Ms Ong, Ms Marie Lim and Mdm Ho) and gave them a fake flower and ferrero rochers each. So long never step into YJ already and it was good to be back "home". Although there are quite a number of new teachers, I still feel that YJ didn't change much. It feels really heart-warming when talking to the teachers, esp ms ong and ms lim. We told them how we miss YJ and how different the life in uni is. Saw a lot of teachers too and most of them keep asking us whether we going for gala dinner. It gets abit irritating when every, well most, teachers you see start asking you that. Heard from Li Hua that every tecaher needs to get one table thats why they so stressed about it. The more senior teachers like Ong Cher Tat need 2 tables lor. Wonder how many tables ms ong need to sell.
We went to canteen and MJ was hoping to see her fave chicken-rice uncle. But too bad he never open. We went to our fave hangout - the bookshop and the aunties still rmb us. They said that now the principal dun allow them to sell too many chocolats and tidbits. Crazy rite. But they still hide them in cupboard to sell. Haha. Even teachers oso come sneakily to buy lor. We even complained to the aunties that in NTU very ma fan, need to print own notes and in YJ so good, they print for us and we pay can liao. Heard that now YJ alot of crazy people. The principal even expelled one J1 boy who peeped at guys in toilet lor. These people must be study till crazy. Quite ke lian. One aunty say she scared her daughter, who is studying for A'levels now, will oso go crazy studying. Stress period for them. Poor thing. Luckily I survived that already.
