Stupid Lecturer Spoiled My Day~

It was a Sunday. Yesterday actually, since today is Monday and I’ve only just got some free time. So its Sunday. Normal people would have been happy with the fact that its the weekend and they get the time to do anything they want. As for myself, I already expected a kinda rough day going for me.

I woke up at 7, feeling extremely tired. The night before I was busy doing that thesis due this week, and ended up sleeping at 3.30am. Four and a half hours sleep is never enough for me, but I guess I can still stand another day before crashing out.

Sunday was supposed to be the day me and my teammates are to do a mock presentation for our supervisor. Far from being able to dress properly, tie, coat and all, the supervisor even went as far as to advise us to apply foundation. I refused of course. Far from not knowing what exactly is foundation, I’d rather have a bad complexion that resorting to using make-up.

Molotov had to change his hairstyle somewhat too. There was a little deviation from his normal style, but he still had to make it stand a little. Its not a problem for me, but it did take like half an hour for the change, and for the fact that he had to change it twice. Adding the “coat fitting” session, we knew we were already running a little late for our class at 9am.

Its not a very unusual thing actually. Students in our “category” almost always end up coming for class sooner or later. Assignments, exams, work….. Who can still wake up every Sunday for class at 8.30am? And anyway, I think its a perfectly understandable excuse imho, carrying that coat every where, including various other stuff – laptop, notes, books…..

Upon entering the class, the lecturer greeted us with a smile. And added “If students still are to come to class after 9.30, I will lock the door”. Thats nice.

Well I guess we were late, but Jam said sorry before her little comment. Molotov was a litle quick, for he answered “So why didnt you lock it?”

I still think that whole thing was just a small thing. We were willing to forget the issue of being being greeted “so nicely”, more so if it was our fault anyway. So the lecture started, but halfway through, Jam asked the lecturer to repeat on something she didnt catch. The lecturer then said, “I know this is your first day of class, but kindly clean your ears next time”. With that smile. Haha… That spoiled Jam’s day. But you should be careful when laughing at people, because its bound to happen to you too.

After our break, Molotov, Jam and I were discussing on our powerpoint for our mock presentation later at 4pm. When class resumed, I proceeded to open the laptop to check our slides. This time, the lecturer got nasty: “I want you to close that laptop now and pay attention to what I’m saying!”. “Close it NOW!”

I was so shocked I didnt have time to retort. My normally egoistic self would have answered with a sharp reply, but all I could do was stammer. Really, what did she think we were, primary schoolchildren? We’re all working adults. Molotoc insisted on leaving the class, but I advised him to stay, since it wouldnt do us any good either.

Our class was for 6hours with a one hour break in between for lunch. But besides needing to prepare for our presentation later, we just about had enough of her. So we skipped the second half. Talk about being a good student huh?

Now I’m up thinking whether I have done anything that I shouldnt do…What if she fails me? Well, at elast that’ll give me one more reason to hate her…….

Lousy Day, Fiery Evening

Today was a really lousy day. For one thing its a Monday, and besides the fact that I absolutely detest Mondays, I woke up feeling sleep-deprived. Mind you, I did try to go to bed earlier the day before, but I couldnt seem to nod off. Guess it was pobably because I’m so used to sleeping late at night on weekends… That, or I’m just not a morning person ><

What was worse was the fact that my whole upper body ached the whole day. By lunch, my shoulder was so bad it feels like someone was trying to rip it off… So thats over-training for you, that you start to feel like crap the next day~

Victoria didnt help much either. As Boss wasnt around, the least she could do was to give a helping hand in other matters besides her own. Which means that everyone around had to help her manage with her workload, and then they could just drown in their own without any help from her part…. As a guy at least you cant say I’m not multi-tasking ha-ha

Spray didnt try approaching me today. Which was a lucky thing really. Although the answer was a definite “NO!”, I dont see how you can do it face-to-face. He did keep staring at me though. Busy as I already am today, with my student off for dancing classes, I just pretended not to notice… Gee I am evil~

The only highlight of today was this: As I was driving back home I witnessed a most spectacular sight upon stopping at the traffic lights… A ball of fire just fell out off the sky ahead of me, and as it was just zooming down towards the ground it suddenly exploded in a burst of light~! If you think I’m kidding, take a look at this

I dont know whether anyone else caught in on camera though, its such a rare sight~! Mine was just luck as I was already fiddling with my phone to change my music playlist… The minute I saw it I went “whoa….!!” and quickly snapped some pics~ That certainly lifted my day up abit, yet how many would have believed it?

Musings~

I didnt think anything interesting would happen today. But as everyone knows, things happen when you least expect it.

I went to the movies to catch a show earlier this evening. At first I thought “Fury” was going to be abit of a bore since I’ve read the movie reviews beforehand. Turns out it was kinda fun. I guess I might be abit sadistic, watching people getting hurt and all that. But thats not true at all. Lately I’ve been having some interest in martial arts. So you can say that Fury has fuelled a stronger desire to join a class again.

I used to join Taekwon-Do, just because I’m often bullied in school. I guess now that I’ve grown older, I may have experienced a personality change in the way that I hardly smile much, and having a stronger passion in keeping myself fit and having the ability not only to defend myself and my loved ones, but to cause as much as hurt as possible to those who dare lay a hand on me. If that sounds a little overboard, well fights do happen.

On a less sombre mood, I checked out my friendster account and saw Danceball posting pictures of her graduation ceremony. Some of them contained her so-called best-friend “A” whom she recently told me she had a fight with. Glad to see she was back with him again, but feeling a little dejected that I couldnt celebrate with her.

Ah well, I’m better off being by myself at the moment, being at the time when I have bigger things on my mind and where my future still lies in my hand. How I mould it will determine how the rest of my life will be. I guess thats what scares me now. Besides the thought that tomorrow’s Monday and I’ll be seeing Spray again….

First Drop in the Glass

I never thought I would take up this narrative again, but here I am typing away at the keyboard. I guess being on holiday means I have nothing to do now, although such freedom will only last another week before my next semester starts in uni. Then its back to the grind for me, with assignments to finish and exams to study for…

The funny thing was, during that “rush period” of getting things done and well, generally being busy, I was thinking how nice it would be to have some free time to just do whatever I wanted. Whether its working out, playing games, hanging out with friends, or heck, staring at the ceiling.

Unfortunately enough I’ve long finished Call of Duty 4 which I borrowed from Molotov, so there’s nothing else shaking back home. My workouts are increasingly getting harder, though it pains me to hear myself being categorised as “skinny”. It I had known any better, I would have just followed Scooby to Ulu Yam yesterday night.

Its morning at this point of time, and I still cant get over the fact that Spray just contacted me yesterday for a favour. After all that “has happened”, he still has the gall to call me. Even if that wasnt bad enough, he only called to ask for a lift to our company’s annual dinner. I doubt I’d get anything in return of course. Although friends dont usually count on such things as getting something in return for favours, Spray really cant be considered a friend, being how selfish he sometimes is. Besides, he’s sort of like Public Enemy No 1, and helping him would be much more of a hassle. So now I’m wondering how things will go the next day when work starts and if he were to approach me – imagine how awkward it will be.

Talking about helping others, Scooby and I did have a “discussion” on that issue. Most people “help” others, often for something in return. Whether its because they expect favours or “I-owe-you”s, or whether its a heaven or hell issue. You know, do good things and you’ll ascend to heaven, being bad will earn you a ticket to hell. Cant be considered sincere dont you think?

But yeah, some do help people just because it makes them feel good. I cant explain what that exactly means, but yeah its a feeling I do have from time to time. That feeling has increased recently. So that explains why I find myself going out of the way just to please some people. Scooby actually suggested hat he did have an idea of doing some charity work, although he didnt see it through because, it would have been kinda weird doing it alone. Besides, he doesnt know any nearby. Funnily enough, it was a thought that has crossed my mind some time or the oher.

If he means it, I ought to test him. But I’ll skip the orphanages first, which was first on Scooby’s mind. Think I’d rather try the SPCA. Anyone with an address?
