And I thought I was only fickle with my hair.....

(read Me-oW)

Well, it's been a year now, since I've been single.

(I'm saying this and not cringing... and that's a wonderful sign...)

(Alhamdulillah!)

So I went through a rough patch like everybody else who did

and had since, looked forward to this day...

though I still feel that my ex is a dinkie ass.

(Woopsie daisy!..haha...)

That there is more to life,and more importantly,there is more to me,

other than a splattered bug on a window shield.

(that was how he left me feeling about myself a year ago...and worse!)

It's unfortunate that a huge part of him has rubbed off onto me the past X years that we were together. (Caution: Reading may seem suggestive.)

What I mean is, a huge part of his character and perspectives.

It's not a thing which U or Me could have control over.

I think it's a natural phenomenon of some sorts.

If u're attached and reading this,do give a tiny two or three hoots about this,

Don't u and ur other halves think or feel likewise?

U just tend to be so much like the other and one another and in a very freaky way,so I say now,or in a romantic way,so U say now,

make decisions based on what the other would decide for u or even when both of U mutually agree.

I'm glad somehow, that now, I could finally make my own descisions without having to be dependent on some other person.

Well that I thought, until yesterday ...

So I drove to school,stepped out of car,walked and stopped walking.

Timecheck: 19:27 (3 mins early)

Lecture was to begin at 19:30 hrs

(... show me a sign...a call,a sudden downpour,a tremor, a blinking light, a wad-eva-da-heck!)

pause and looked around for signs...

(urggh! no sign!)

Call Mama..call Mama

"Ma..tell me,should I go to skool?"

"Ma it's not like I've been so bad,I've been religiously handing up my assignments,and it's not like my tutor knew I existed anyway,I've only been to one of his lecture,and those other times..it's not like I did not want to turn up...I had to fly,I had to work,I had some serious work... to do..U noe working is important,my important work.Rite Ma,rite Ma...rite..and I've had mixed emotions about attending even since before I left home...U see maybe if I attend it, something bad will happen. Or maybe I won't be able to concentrate in class cos before I left home the last thing on my mind was the roasted Chicken u bought from Giant. And because I had to rush to school, I didn't even have time to smell it...rite Ma?Rite?"

(please say no... say no please!)

"Sudahlah Kak...come back homelah..."

Hung up.

Timecheck: 19:30

Tell me..should I or should I not go to school?

Bouts of guilt vs sudden gush of relief

(Cos Ma told me to go back oweady..wiiee!)

Call Coldburnz

"Yakety yakety yak...bla..blah..yada.."

Next Timecheck: 20:04:33

...clearly...

It was too late to waltz into the LT like some star (karat!)

...pheww...

(Anyhow, Coldburnz, thanks for the chat,I'm grateful,really!haha!)

So I'm still fickle, self-diagnosed with sudden bouts of contemplations, and an innate ability to make decisions...

So I had a couple of muck-ups, postponed on dates and stood up on a guy,make that 2

...but that's the best part about being single..I'l do what I want to do ,

when I want to do it..

If it's good for me..it can't be that bad can it...haha!

Timecheck: Time to sleep cos I figured I should...

Easy Peasy

now that's improvement...see I'm making decisions!

Im decisive..am I not?

Yes I am...or not?

Oh boy

I'll decide later.

Zzzz

The 6th and 7th deadly 'Cs.

Question.

What does a Singaporean do best besides eating and shopping?

Answer.

Complain and Criticise.

The thing about being Singaporean is that we are too caught up with getting value for everything that we pay for.

Stretching our dollars to an insatiable amount of desires,is but another past time.

Take air travelling as an example,u see, if u pay X amount of $$ to be transported from point A to point B. That is just about how far you'll travel.The extra dollars that u might have paid for is used in maintaining a young fleet,reads,more safe,smooth and prompt flights.

Besides, how many airlines have the luxury of employing a panel of culinary chefs to whip up gourmet dishes for inflight consumption? The indisputably impressive entertainment system, offering up to 60 channels on the Ultra-Long-Range flights and On-Demand movie selection on most retrofitted planes,which simply means u could turn On or Off ur movies as and when u like it.

Luxurious as it may seem,hell no, to fellow countrymen..

They demand service.

...yes that we can offer as we have promised,now more than ever,a great way to fly, haven't we...of such Asian hospitality.

But what they have failed to realise is the fact that service is not to be commanded.

It's a two-way traffic.

It cannot be quantified and

it does not equate the amount of fare that they have paid.

Look, it's really simple actually,If u're nice, isnt that stimulus enough for a warm and genuine service?

Let's even forget about service for awhile,let's just divert to life for instance.

Let's just make this really simple,

haven't u heard of

"Do unto others what u want others unto u"

So we condone,

Stewardess," Good moning sir!"

Typically edgy Singaporean,"What's so good abt the morning?!"

so we tolerated,

Typically kiasu Singaporean,"Can i hv a can of tomato juice!"

Stewardess,"Here u go sir, enjoy ur drink."

Typically kiasu Singaporean, "I paid for this u noe!"

Stewardess,"???SMILE!"

Shouldn't a Thank u suffice?

Y are Singaporeans behaving as such?

Are they becoming so affluent at the expense of faltering mannerism?

Have they become too educated at the price of constant infallibility?

A China passenger asked me while I was arranging some luggage in the overhead compartments just recently on my previous flight,

"Ni yao wo pang ni mah?"

While the young Singaporean male went,"Can u put this up for me?"

Well I did oblige to that male's "perversed" request and can't help but feel totally disgusted!

Don't get me wrong here.I would do it for just about any other female, young or old but that Yuppy,for God-damn sake,it was his own luggage!

Does my uniform make me any more stronger than a male in a tie and suit?

So much for the highly educated English speaking Singaporean,

it was the China man, in his brown pants and tucked-out, checked shirt, who emerged chivalrous, Uncontended.
