Busy

Dear Reader,

 

I have been busy. I have so much readings from the textbooks to do, practice questions, homework, revision, quizzes and midterms are coming up, labs to prepare for…

Plus I have friends to meet up with and stuff to do around the house.

Can you really blame me for not updating my blog as regularly as I could like before?

Second year has been alright so far, except for the organic chemistry course I am currently taking. It’s not THAT bad, but for now it’s the worst of the courses I am taking. Haha, well. Can’t say that either, all I can say is I have to work harder at it. And I have to stay on top with everything else too.

It’s officially Fall now, and we can all feel the weather turning colder. And possibly as crazy as usual. The mornings can go down to 4 degrees, and then suddenly it’d be 22 degrees in the afternoon. Monday can be as cold as 12 degrees and then Wednesday would be 25 degrees. I don’t get it, but it wont hurt to bring a thick sweater wherever I go.

It’s tuesday morning 11.18am right now. I had a lab session that was supposedly to go until 11am but luckily I managed to finish an hour early (it’s a three-hour lab), just like yesterday afternoon too. Haha. My next class today is at 2pm, so technically I have a three-hour spare/break in between. I should’ve been staying on campus, instead of coming home and blogging, but I forgot to take me phone with me this morning. Sigh. Absent-mindedness.

Anyway, I got to go back to campus in a little bit, so I bid you farewell for now. Hopefully my next post will be sooner than we think. Hopefully.

 

 

Mundane

Dear Reader,

I have been back in Canada for a week and a half now and so far, it’s been alright. The first couple of nights were the worst of course, but things began to pick up once I found things to do to occupy myself. I unpacked slowly, took my time to clean my room and all and it’s all good for now. Hopefully things will stay the way they are… smooth. Although it sounds pretty mundane, it’s…well, yeah, mundane. Hehe.

So, I guess this is just a post to tell you all (like many times before), that I am alive and kickin’ and I’m doing alright. I just haven’t got any interesting things to blog about, and sometimes I would forget to blog about stuff. Sorry about that. It’s a wonder whoever follows my blog anymore…

Their act of staring…

doesn’t really burn, but it certainly makes ME uncomfortable.

Dear Reader,

Has it ever happened to you?

Sometimes there can be too many salesladies, or sometimes that certain department store (section) or shop has too little customers, and they just follow you around as you look at stuff. Or they stand aside but still stare at you. How does that make shopping a comfortable experience? I hate it. I hate people following me around. I tried a few times, going round shelves as quickly as I could, to see if she’d follow (yeah, I’m cool like that haha). She usually does. It’s bloody annoying.

It was quite a breath of fresh air when stores in other parts of the world (hehe) don’t have annoying salespeople, but rather charming ones, or at least ones that don’t follow you around with their eyeballs when they don’t do so with their feet. Wow.That’s a mouthful.

But seriously, it can be sooooooooooooo annoying. Sometimes I run, sometimes I hide.

 

 

Can I Get You Anything?

Dear Reader,

I am not sure why I am posting this but well, skip over it if you haven’t got time to kill.

My dad and I went for lunch at a certain restaurant in Gadong (hint: NEAR a certain restaurant that sells chicken rice) the other day, with my dad’s friend. We ordered the same thing while Uncle ordered something else. While we were enjoying our food, my dad suddenly gave an exclamation and Uncle and I turned to look at what was up; we saw his face twisted into a mask of disgust and disbelief.

There was a hair. A short one,  but a hair no less, sticking to a piece of tofu. Eww much? So my dad called one of the waitresses over, showed her what the offending problem was, and requested that she speak to the manager. Just to let him know such a gross thing has happened. BUT SHE DIDN’T.

We then saw her standing around with her colleagues, so my dad called her over again and asked if she had told the manager. She didn’t say anything; she just looked over at one of the other girls. The other girl then came over and asked what the problem was. Apparently nobody dared to tell the manager, so my dad asked to see the manager as well. NONE of them apologised. The manager gave us a small discount but that wasn’t the point of the discussion!

Normally one would apologise, right? After all, that was a mistake made by the restaurant, but NONE of them apologised, not even the manager. A word of ‘sorry’ is worth more than any bloody (stingy lol) discount, but well, what’s done is done.

I swear, this would never happen in a decent restaurant in Canada. They’d be really quick to apologise and even offer to give you a free dish/meal! WTF. And another thing. The waiters/waitresses here (in this part of the world? Is that too much of a generalisation?) never go through any form of training. They play with their hair while at work, play AROUNF during shift, laugh with each other while a customer waits to be seated/served… WTF. And this happens with salespeople in department stores (or anywhere else) too! It’s horrible.

And then are the ones that stare at you…
