Today was only my fourth time at the Nee Soon range, but all the non-vegetable items at lunch had been repeated at least twice. Ugh! These cooks have no imagination. Maybe it's because they're Chinese/Indian so they don't know much about Malay food.

While switching to the 855 at Upper Thomson, I tried the DIY Root Beer float at 7-11. Not bad indeed, except that the Root Beer isn't cold.. And only $1 too. While finishing my Root Beer float, I saw some examples of the new Raffles Guys pinafore. Its colour isn't actually as vile as I'd been led to believe - a little darker than the one on here. Why can't schools with disgusting uniforms change them to nicer ones, instead of the other way round? River Valley, Bukit Panjang, Marymount Convent, THE Chinese High (red PE shorts!), Catholic High and the other Chinese schools with ugly metal buttons could all use a fresh design.


RJC went for the S-Cube seminar today. Whee. Praise is fulsome from all quarters:

"oh someone talked about dropping fertility rates due to NS.
or the usefulness of a seminar in the firstplace when so much is classified."

"it was excellently conducted, with most of the Q&A questions avoided and a light touch of propaganda, not to mention the entertaining and highly misleading skit put up! they put up a little skit, although there was not much interest to be paid to it except by the brainless..."

"SUCKS BIG TIME
'coz it was NS propaganda
now it's TWO idiots there [not one]
two idiots who can't speak or understand english"

"'do you think that NS has contributed to falling fertility rates' which ellicited alot of hullabaloo in the audience and shocked the speakers who had to admit that actually their wives/gfs conceived their children while they were still in NS! (wah, and they were old boys of raffles too)"

"I believe S3 seminars would be more useful if the guest speakers were more forthcoming in their answers, were of higher rank and didn't worry so much about preserving their higher-than-MP pay.

And I really couldn't stand that stupid bitch who declared, "I realised your answers were rather diplomatic and tactful, and many details are hidden from our ears. So What really is the relevance of the S3 seminar then?" Sheesh. such answers just deserve a "well, if my answers weren't diplomatic and tactful I'd have called you a f**king bitch first" reply. I'm sure she could've answered her own question.

And the suspicions about whether Singapore's Armed Forces are really combat-ready, i.e. will they actually dare to shoot a living breathing person if they had to? Well if someoen shot/tried to shoot anyone I know I'll sure as hell try to kill him/her first. Or so I think. Hopefully future reality would prove me right."

Some 16 year old girl won a prize in Mediacorp's Hamtaro contest. Argh. People aged 16 actually *watch* this? Oh yes, it's a female. Figures.

It seems Marc, my favourite Australian cousin, is resisting peer (and other) pressure to learn driving too. Yeh!
