different thoughts
this is a little break from the long entry i had yesterday. after writing so much, i am only at day 1 of 3 days. hehe... =P
it's getting really boring to read abt bloggers' rights in TST. they have one big article on this topic everyday, debating whether blogs are private or public. my blog is definitely not a political one, but once in a while i would write abt grouses i have with the PAP or some other organizations/pple. i guess i'll just have to invent pseudonyms...
there was one little column in the sports section about TJC winning the National inter-jc taekwondo expose. i think it's really a wonderful idea to have inter-jc competitions. when i was still in vj, there was only one national competition, and we competed agst tj, as well as all those clubs incommunity centres, etc. i found it really unfair, because most clubs field the little tots who can hardly balance themselves. u'll go "aww...so cute!!" and i'm pretty sure the judges will lean towards them.
the same situation is actually being replayed in the Econs Minimart show, Saturdays, ch8. they have some dance contest for groups. some teenage groups are really good at dancing, but they usually lose out to groups from primary schools, usually abt 30 strong. the kids just have to act cute and do repeated movements, and they win. there should be age divisions, really. i feel sad for the older contestants.
yah lah... maybe it's all sour grapes etc... but this is what I feel.
(1) when i went to the travel agency to book my tioman trip, i gave the agent a list of our names and our passport details. she keyed in all the data and printed out a copy. she had typed in all of us as "Ms" when there is a guy. I pointed it out, and was pretty amused by her expression.
"This is a guy ah?!" her eyes were round with surprise. she had expected 3 females. Hehe... is it very scandalous for 2 girls to share a rm with a guy?
(2) I was telling my grandma about my tioman trip, and she asked me who i'm going with. i replied in teochew "peng yew" (friends). then she said, "Peng yew? How come never bring back for me to see?"
i was puzzled for a while. huh? is there a need to?
then it struck me. to her, "peng yew" means "boyfriend". hahah... then i quickly said that my peng yew is female.
i think she was even more stunned after that... hehehe.. =D
