We need to change

Was working today at the chocolate bar. Encountered some ridiculous customers and it made me wonder what is wrong with our values.

Customer 1:
My show starts at 8pm, I have to be seated by 7.45pm. Do you think it is possible for you to serve me a waffle before that.
Excuse me, miss, the time now is 7.40pm, I can get it ready in 30 seconds but do you intend to swallow your waffle? If that's the case I can serve you without fork and knife.

Customer 2:
I'm running late for my show. Do you have something that you can prepare fast, I have to leave in 10 minutes time?
Yes.
[takes 10 minutes deciding what to eat]

If you want to eat before a show, why don't you come earlier? If you can't why don't you grab a sandwich??? It puzzles me really. Why can't we make the effort to be early or at least punctual all the time? Is it really that difficult?

I guess something is wrong with our values.

Feeling the guilt

Oops, it's been 2 months. Luckily blogger is nice enough to not delete my blog away. Well, for my friends overseas... I have finally moved into my hostel for about a month now. Now that I have fast internet connection, shall show you some pictures:

My good friend Wendy has graduated

Mr Retro with sideburns painted on.. haha

Nothing is new, singapore's education system always makes sure that the student is over-worked; and if you don't feel you are over-worked, probably you have forgotten to do one of your assignment.

Busy with my school work especially when i have to write my thesis and also complete a project with an external body. And i'm still as playful as before; I just cannot resist the temptation to play squash, handball and takraw. That leaves me with even lesser time.

And with my exchange in Finland, i have become quite poor and so i'm also working part time at the chocolate bar still.

Sounds like i'm whining right? But well i'm happy with the way i am now although i yearn for more time to keep in touch with the friends i made in Europe and also my friends who are working overseas. I shall try my best (I still remember you people =)

Tried to make plans to do my PhD but seems like my scholarship does not allow me to do that. I guess they are probably worried that I will break my bond. (oops)

I miss Finland still. Hope I will have a chance to go back there someday...

oH and thank you qian for reminding me to update my blog. Haha, at least I know someone still pays attention to it. =)

I guess that more or less sums up my life as of now.
