Okay, so today was my first paper, and yes i know some people are going to go like WHAT YOUR FIRST PAPER IS ONLY TODAY? Cause trust me, i get that from everyone.

Anyway as all first papers go, this was rather unusual. I had no freaking idea what the hell was going to come out and damn was i right. Today in 2 and a 1/2 hours, i traveled round the world. From the Caribbean Islands, to Bolivia followed by Russia then Iran and finally back home to Singapore. Well thats why its called GLOBAL marketing strategy. Seriously, it felt more like a lesson of geography than anything else. And thats also the reason why we were HIGHLY encouraged to bring the world map into the exam. My table was littered with notes and maps. Thank goodness i didn't bring in a HUGE map, which incidentally one guy did. It was rather comical as the exchange students were actually laughing at him in his face, they pointed and laughed to one another. Thank goodness he knows them. Haha. His map was SO HUGE it was like 2 A3 papers put together. How the hell he travelled with that thing, i do not even want to bother to think about that.

So now after visiting the world, i'm transporting myself to soak up as much spanish as i possibly can for tomorrow. Hasta entonces!

I'd kill for a nice warm cup of green tea soy latte NOW.

RIGHT NOW. RIGHT AT THIS VERY MOMENT.

 

i wish i was lounging on a deck chair by the pool downstairs

soaking up all that warm lovely sunshine

with the gentle breeze keeping things at just the rest temperature

then when it all gets too hot

a swim would just seal the almost perfect moment.

DAMN.

THIS IS SHEER TORTURE.

The other day, i saw something that INFURIATED me and i just have to talk about it even though no one may give a damn about it. 

I was at the bus stop waiting for a bus, there was this couple in front of me that plopped themselves down onto the stone benches and were waiting for their bus. They were both each drinking a cup of bubble tea and were just talking to one another. When their bus arrived, they got up to board the bus. It was only after the bus left that i saw the totally IRRESPONSIBLE, INCONSIDERATE JERK OF A GUY had left his cup on the seat.

SERIOUSLY. WHAT GIVES. I mean HELLO, there was a dustbin, just TWENTY steps away and he couldn't even be BOTHERED to go over and throw his drink away. That made me so freaking boiling mad. I mean COME ON, that may not have been your home but it still is YOUR FREAKING COUNTRY. You live here, you work here and gawd knows what else you do in this country. WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE SOME CIVIC CONSCIOUSNESS TO JUST THROW YOUR DAMN DRINK AWAY??? I can't believe foreigners actually fall for the stupid gimmick that Singapore is such a CLEAN AND GREEN CITY. Cause without the workers who actually clean this place up after all those morons who leave their TRASH around, i bet we would be as dirty as maybe London. And the irony about the whole thing is that its not like Singapore is like India, where there isn't a trash can in sight. WE HAVE A FREAKING HELL LOT OF TRASH CANS!! There are trash cans EVERYWHERE!! Its so convenient to throw things away! Yet some people just can't be bothered and don't have the decency to do so! ARGHH. Just talking about this makes me so mad ALL OVER AGAIN!

We may be a first world country, but we still have SO MUCH learning to do. It really disgusts me how some people don't give a f**k about all this and yet complain and demand so much about everything. If everyone was just a bit more gracious, i think this place would definitely be a much better country to live in.

Swings, the ropes of which were braided with flowers, and gold rings dropped and were suspended from the ceiling and the four men swung Barbette and tossed her about as if she was a child. She performed jumps and flips and arabesques. She walked on her hands on the high wire as easily as on her feet. And in the end she sauntered daintily off the trapeze, curtsied, changed her mind and bowed, and, in one gesture, removed her wig and revealed she was really a man.

There was a standing ovation and the audience insisted with cries of “ Encore! Encore!” on a reprise.

“There’s a perfect French expression, trompeuse appearance,: Billy, clapping. “ In art, it means false perspective. In life it means, not what it seems. Did you guess?” he asked.
