it's been a long time. if i had a penny everytime i said this, i wouldn't have to work part time for two years. yeah, but really, i dunno why is it so. when i'm up and about, i have so many things floating through and about and around my mind and most of the time, it's something worth mentioning. but when i finally sit infront of my mac, my mind just blanks out, switches onto auto-pilot and soon i'm watching something really shitty on youtube. and now as i begin, today i'll fire off in a slightly more organised fashion. so cue to the boring sub-headings!
SP & Whatever
so far, modules going along fine. all except for one. financial management. i really dunno what is going on. i really need to fill up the notes and do the necessary reading up and whatever there is to be done about it. the rest, hm, okay. law is rather interesting.
In The News, In My Head
and talking about law. may i just touch on the recent incidents that's been going on. the gang stuff. i mean, like seriously. when the first one that came out that really started the whole media frenzy thingy, the darren thing, it dawned on me that the media is suddenly aware of such stuff. it only takes a shocking manner of murder at a popeye's restaurant to stir up some forum threads. and everyone probably knew it was gang-related. it took about a week plus for it be officially stated as a "probable gang-related incident". now i don't want to create some disturbance in the force but i mean, i recall reading the parents saying darren died for his friends? what friends? the ones that were shouting and pushing the reporters? shit, if i was that dudes friends, i'd be giving the reporters a tour of my friend's coffin. if that doesn't make them uncomfortable, i might even open the coffin for them to have a little photo-taking and give them the opportunity to let them embrace their necrophilic fantasies. and also, to the parents asking "why did their son have to be taken by the good old mighty invisible man", i say, "apparently you guys fucked up halfway bringing up your child. if you did bring them up properly, they wouldn't be joining gangs and getting slashed up. should've kept barney & friends in their childhood for about another year or two."
and to the public out there, like com'on. someone getting slashed infront of you while you having your dinner. i mean, i know popeye's is good. but i don't think it's that good that you can't even put down that fried chicken and help a fellow human being out. or to just even stop a scene from happening. apparently we mind our own business at the wrong time. i really hate the human kind for this reason and many. they'll start blasting the cops in newspaper forums that they didn't do their job properly and that they were slacking off which is why this happened. and now when the cops is stepping up on security and doing surprise checks, people start complaining that the cops are inconveniencing their daily routine. and it's with this thinking. that the pen is mightier than the sword. and when more swords come up, more pens will come out. you hear people stocking up on their Pilot pens. but seriously, if the public were to just step up and stand their ground and push these 'gangsters' away, this problem would end quickly. okay, here's a little fun fact with statistics. just say in a block, there's 40 residences. in each residence, there's two able-bodied people to just, you know, walk out their apartments for a while. and just say there's 5 blocks. so mathematically speaking, we've got 400 people. there surely can't be more 100 gang members under the void deck creating shit. at the most, we've got 20 members (that's a reasonable amount and a very generous one at that). 400 against 20. it's 20 to a member. do you need more mathematic reasoning to see where i'm going with this and to see that it is very plausible to put an end to this shit? do we really the men in blue everytime two aunties start fighting at a hawker centre? do we really need the coppers when someone kicks over a dustbin, while laughing like a hyena doing it? the answer is my friends, do it. and in that ever-so wise saying "if you ever see me being beaten up by someone, please put down your camera phone and help me out." it's not that hard. it really isn't. you just think it is.
Work & Work Related
okay, there's more i want to say. but i think i'll carry on tomorrow. how many time have i said that sentence? anyway, in other news, i dunno what to think of work anymore. is it boring? is it fun? all of a sudden, i'm all out of words. i'm numb. as long as i stay away from wherever i'm supposed to stay away from. it's a great place and all. but when i went to central the other day, damn was it cozy and all. it really was. the seats were comfortable. had super spicy seafood aglio olio. did the most stupid thing by cleaning my mouth with the napkin and then using the same napkin to rub my eyes. started tearing like a little girl. i think even the server was like trying to avoid looking at my eyes. and talking about not able to look at people in their eyes. hmmm, no nav. no more sentimental crap.
To End It All
alrighty, i'll prepare my mind for another boring day tomorrow. it's going to be crazily sickening. it's 2 hour lecture, 4 hour break, 1 hour lecture. how do i live? i'll probably do the same thing i did last week for the break. coffee and reading session for an hour. gym for another hour. makan for half an hour. come up with a list of more ways to kill myself for the next hour. and the last half an hour spent reading my book. bought new books. finally embracing my inner bookworm once again. alright, peace out.
