Rugby World Cup and Random Thoughts

Random Thoughts

1) Remember how in Sec school or JC when we took MCQ papers and had to shade those nasty little boxes with a 2B pencil. Well, those are called optical mark sheets. It marked by a special machine attached to the computer. Very easy to use and very fast and efficient. Error rate of 0.5%, took only one human being to churn out answers for 250 scripts in less than half an hour. Cool huh..... Well, it aint cool when the school only has one of those machines and it BREAKs down just when the exams are in. What a joke! Where's all my taxes going to? Sigh......

2) Starhub Digital Cable!
Ok, so I'm a new convert, slow but at least i got it already! I love the Discovery Home and Health. Downsize me!!!! Its a great show. I wanna be on it. Anyone knows how? I love it how some of those overweight people go for a surgery and lose weight so quickly!!! I mean, whats the point of dieting and exercising? Check out AFC, its sooooo incredibly boring except for out local Makansutra programmes. They should have runs and reruns of Jamie O and Nigella forever, that would keep the viewership up!

3)Rugby World Cup!
Adopt me All Blacks!!! I can be the ALL BLACK mascot...... wah hahahahah... ok, after my 12pm suntan in Bali, Chao tar is one of the best terms to describe me. Rugby is such a cool game, the guys really really go out to get the ball, I mean they whack, chase and hug each other all at the same time. Talk about team bonding! Compared to soccer,where there is a lot of pretense and juvenile pushing and referee challenging, this holigan's game, played by gentlemen (rugby) is full of heart and soul.The passionate hakka or war dance before the game is as intense as their desire to win. I have only one word for soccer..... koo niang...... Wah hahahahaha

4)Relax Urban Haven
Aiyo! That place was like a nursery! THe ambience for a facial is awful! the therapist was talking on the phone while massaging my face! NO face mask used of course! SHe was scolding this kid who refused to wear shoes and it was a nightmare! I was more tense than relaxed..... at the sound of a child's voice! I mean, people actually have to get away from children to chill out and here I am, paying good money for a facial with a kid! If I wanted to chill out with kids, I just have to drop by my cousin's house for 5 mins and I would be satiated for days! Never will I go back there again. Its in Kensington, at Serangoon Gardens by the way.
