HE'S BACK!!!!

Oh and he took 93 all they way to Paya Lebar Airbase to meet me after I ended today. How sweet is that lol. But he has to book in tomorrow boohoo. GROWLS @ Armour.

Sigh I've concluded that MSN for Mac sucks bigggg time. It keeps disconnecting me, disrupting all my conversations.. stupidshitasscrap. It's like I'm typing something and suddenly poof it'll just disconnect. We already have so little time to talk to each other and yet it's doing this to me. I CAN'T LIVE WITH THIS. If I go abroad then HOW! We can't survive with MSN that disconnects every 3 minutes!

Yay France won. Haha. I'm super random now.

Oh I read Reader's Digest lately about that courtesy article and was not surprised to find Asian countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines ranked waaaay at the bottom. I've experienced a lot of rudeness in the service sector before, especially with annoying waitresses. (Knowing me, I'll give them a good talking-to) I hate waitresses who show me their stinking attitudes whenever I ask them to change something on my plate or help me get something. Makes me wanna douse them with Tabasco Sauce. Nevertheless, I was still quite.. shocked to see that Singapore was ranked that low. Even if many people don't believe in holding the door for others (that's something that I personally advocate, btw) it doesn't accurately reflect that Singaporeans are discourteous. Sure, there are a few black sheep out there that blemish the rest, but I must say that apart from irritating waitresses, Singaporeans in general are not that atrocious!

One thing that I really am ashamed of is the declining English standards in the country - both written and spoken. Was just telling Xi Jie & Jinping a few days ago how I absolutely abhor people who have bad diction and stress the wrong syllables etcetc. Call me snooty, but it's *important* to at least have a good command of spoken English in order to project a decent image. It wouldn't be that bad if we were all fluent in Mandarin instead, but the thing is, Singaporeans can't do BOTH languages sufficiently well so East&West, we're at a severe handicap. Well I suppose schools don't stress the importance of diction/phonics enough. Such stuff should be drilled from a young age, and kids these days are so much more into Math & Science to pay attention to their command of any language. Pity.

As I type this, MSN has disconnected at least 4 times.
