baptism and nus freak accident

phew…just came back from church O_o
so tired lol…

sissypoo after baptism…a memento

in case you’re wondering, sorry i don’t have a better photo…

mum was really funny…

kept on insisting that my aunt send sissypoo’s friend home cuz it’s so late and such…
and my other aunts assumed that the guy hanging out with my sissypoo’s friend is her bf…
lol so 38…

saw her cell leader as well…

omg was expecting someone older…
thought it was her cellgrp friend or another of her jc classmate coz sissypoo always say that her leader is sick or what…

anyway this highlights my lack of achievement (given that i am already so old and i have accomplished nuts while other people are teachers, leaders.. i don’t know what…argh), well i’ll save the ranting for another occasion (when i get my other set of quiz marks back)…

flowers for sissypoo…

such nice flowers…just what i like…

but sadly, none of my bf ever gave something like that to me…
she also has another bouquet of (5) blue roses…

*looks at my up-side-down withered rose dangling from my drawer*

…

nevermind Y___Y

*****
oh no, study week is here…plenty of things to do…
i emailed my teacher regarding the miscalculation of my quiz mark and she gave me a 2 word reply…

well at least she bothered to reply haha…but i think she hates me =.=

dieeeeeee, i going to flop this module =_=

*****
today i met a reporter in my school…

she said she’s from straits times and some construction workers died at a work site near my LT after a crane toppled over….checked if i was a biz student and told me that she’s looking for an open area to take a pic of the accident site….

i told her i dunno and she Rolled her eyes at me…and left in hurry…

omg -_-ll she probably felt like i wasted 10 seconds of her life…LoL

i really dunno what…
there’s no open space in biz for her to take pics cuz much of the biz building is closed (as in just walls and offices….very concrete)

thought maybe she could have a better look from “the deck” in the arts faculty but she left before i could say anything :X

anyway i think the crane toppled at around 2+ pm (heard it from the radio later this evening)…
was eating at the biz canteen during this period of time…but i didn’t hear anything loud leh…

some sketchy photos…
i think the fallen crane is in green…taken outside LT 16 and 17

much of the area is cordoned off…

we lost the biz bus stop (coz it was cordoned off, not cuz the crane fell on it or what ok)…

i hope NUS doesn’t get implicated in this…haiz

given the situation, i think i’m pretty heartless cuz all i thought of was taking photos…
nevermind, coz i don’t really know the workers, v hard for me to be concerned..and i don’t feel much, except that they were unlucky…anyway they are already gone..

3 construction workers died in NUS…what kind of reaction would you get?

sympathy from people with a compassionate heart…
honest apathy from me
and hypocrisy from the rest…

“Selfish commuters are the latest in a long list of social problems that Beijing authorities have targeted for improvement before the world’s spotlight shines on the city in August for the Olympics.

Last year, the 11th of each month was designated “Queuing Day” in an effort to end the curse of people shoving in front of each other on buses and trains.

Anti-spitting, anti-littering and civilised driving campaigns are also ongoing, and classes are being held to teach people how to be good spectators at the Olympics.

However, a harder edge to the drive is seeing beggars being kicked out of popular thoroughfares and tougher restrictions being placed on rural migrants who for years have done the physical work behind Beijing’s modernisation.

Last year, in a speech marking the 12-month countdown to the Games, China’s chief Olympic organiser Liu Qi made clear he believed the manners of Beijing residents were a problem.

“We must carry out a campaign for a civilised environment and thoroughly resolve rampant spitting, dumping of garbage and other uncivilised behaviour… as over four billion people will be watching Beijing,” he said then.”

i’m really curious as to whether such things can be developed overnight…coz singaporeans know how to queue, not litter, not spit, not dump…whatever…

but most of us are still pretty selfish commuters

xD
