hmmm... should be sleeping now, had a long week... not tt i did much... maybe tt's y it seemed long... listening to 93.3 as i think of wat to type...

oh ya... realised tt i was getting disgusted by other ppl's mannerisms... was at the ntuc at lot 1 the other dae...
scenario: housewive paying up for her stuff
cashier: do u have a member card?
housewive(speaking with an attitude tt matched her speech, if you get wat i mean? maybe not...): if i have, i would have given it to you...

not sure if you are lost at what i was typing up there... was really irked by her answer... well, she could have just said a plain, simple NO... eh? some singaporeans huh... *shakes head* and to think tt more was to come...

scenario: housewife leaves and next guy in queue pays up
cashier: sorry sir, the credit card scanner (or watever u call tt) is spoiled... you have to pay by cash...
man: (refuses to pay by cash and asks if other counter's scanners are also spoilt)
cashier: (goes over to the opposite counter to find tt the scanner is also spoilt there... comes back to man...) sorry sir, the scanners are down... you have to pay by cash...
*5mins have passed...*
man: (still insistent on paying by credit)
cashier: y don't you withdraw cash from the atm machine, so tt you can pay up? (points to atm machine tt's less than 5m away)
man: (got glue stuck on his feet aka still reluctant...)
cashier: (starts to fret abt how to deal with the man... approaches other cashiers for help... found out tt the scanner's connection was actually loose and hence assumed tt it was 'spoilt')
man: (finally got it done his way by paying by credit)

the whole saga lasted like 10min? and there i was next in queue after this man, with just 1 box of oreos tt i wanted to buy... for goodness sake! just wat the hell is wrong with paying in cash??? you just tell me... wth... i was so damn pissed off tt i almost volunteered to help pay up for tt guy... got credit card big f ah...

off to smth more positive... this bookout finally came... was so looking forward to it... cause of the class outing... dunnoe y, but i was feeling sky-highly positive and spiritual at the starting of the week (and still pretty positive for the remaining days...) just plain feeling crazily positive... positive abt wat? i also dunnoe...

just remembered seeing this article in the new paper... it reminded me just how crazy/stupid/inlogical/etc etc this world is... girl meet guy, both like each other, guy decides to marry girl, guy tell girl tt he is HIV-positive, girl decides nevertheless to marry guy... so far no big deal about the whole story...

then girl have sex with guy, fully knowing tt she might get HIV and not regretting her decision... girl gets HIV from guy...

wat absurdity is tt? and the reason tt the girl gave was tt she was happy tt the guy was honest with her abt his illness and tt she wanted to share his suffering... but share it by having sex with him and contacting HIV??? WOW!!! blow me away man... WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO???
