Irritants on the train

They encourage us to take public transports, giving tonnes of reasons why you should take public transports. Here, I give reasons to why you should not take public transports (MRTs).

Irritant number 1:
SMRT always decides to save power and turns of the lights at specific timings. You know I know, no elaboration needed, lest the law gets in the way.

Irritant number 2:
You stand near the door, waiting to alight. The door opens and even before you step out, uncles, aunties and banglahs rush in to snatch seats.

Irritant number 3:
You suddenly find your seat getting smaller. You turn your head, and find 3 (electricity saving) people sharing 2 seats.

Irritant number 4:
You feel itchy at your arm. Again you felt it. Caused by short people, especially girls/women/bitches with unkempt hair, all puffed up, and irritating.

Irritant number 5:
You see someone already leaning against the glass panel/door, and yet still wants to raise his (no her) hand to grab hold onto something. Especially irritating when its crowded.

Irritant number 6:
You hear (loud/noisy/irritating) songs you can't really identify. From handphones of irritating people.

Irritant number 7:
Leaning on the pole. No explanations needed.

Irritant number 8:
You feel the person sitting beside you moving closer to you, and closer, and closer, and closer. Hey! Stop sleeping!

Irritant number 9:
Excuse me, Excuse me, Scuse me, Kew me, *quiet* (and just squeezes his/her way through). Its still another one minute before the train reaches the next stop.

Irritant number 10:
Idiots that thinks that the train door always opens on the same side.

Irritant number ##:
Go to YouTube, you will find alot more there.

The third reply

I received a phone call this afternoon. Yes, like why I would blog about a phone call. It is not a normal phone call that you receive every now and then. It is a very special phone call. A call that was made to my hand phone. A call that lasted 10 1/2 minutes. A call that was received at around 4:30pm. A call that was received while I was playing MapleStory. A call that allows me to lengthen my post with crap.

To the point: from Ronny Tham. Of course, like he will call me for any other stuffs, One Fuckedup Retarded lecturer.

One of the few things that made me felt SO good after hearing is about him not turning up for the makeup lesson. RT claims that OFR a-p-o-l-o-g-i-s-e-s for not turning up for his makeup lesson. (Take out your foundation, mascara, lipstick, eyeshadow, ...) Although I doubt the credibility, but it would be so rare to see such arrogant person to be apologetic.

Next, I suspect RT is the same breed as OFR. He told me that after he approached OFR, OFR told him that he did not find any mistakes in his answer scheme. Like HELLO, if he had found the mistake, he wouldn't have made it in the first place. Anyway, its so long ago, I just tried my best to point out to him about the mistakes. He should understand, unless he is the, urm..., OFR breed.

I gave the in vitro fertilisation example to RT and hope that he would go tell OFR, let OFR laugh at his own stupid mistakes.

Lastly, RT said that OFR, on his part, will try to be better in his attitude towards future batches. RT also asked me if there were any specific actions that I want RT to make. However, being the kind me, I told him nothing. (Like who don't want him to be sacked?) RT assured that he would put close monitor on OFR for future students.

And that OFR must be cursing and swearing hard, for he must regret giving me that Distinction for his module. He is totally pwned.

This post doesn't need a title

Sorry for not updating for so long. Alot of people came to tell me that my posts are interesting. But, interesting things do run out. My blog is not the normal blogs you see when the blogger just go, in chronological order, from the moment he/she wakes up, to the moment he/she fall asleep. Its like, do I (the reader) even need to know all these? To add on, I've came across a blog that even goes into his dreams. 8 out of 10 posts is about his dreams. He should see a doctor for dreaming so much. [miin] or rather [myz] should know quite alot about this guy. :P

Ok, the weather has been so cold the pass few days. Yes, raining consecutively for 3 days. Now, YOU CALL THAT GLOBAL WARMING? (That's so not scientific. Whatever.) And I don't think I have anything else to say for the cold weather.

So let's move on to Sensodyne. Anyone noticed the similarity of its commercials to the Colgate commercial? If you noticed carefully, they labelled the man as 口腔卫生专家 (Oral hygiene professional), or something like that. If so, why do they portray him as a dentist? With the background enhancing his portrayal as a dentist? Then why can't they label him just as a 牙医 (Dentist)? Obviously trying to mislead the consumer right? Well, I can't do anything, but I can wonder if Sensodyne was produced using the same methods as Colgate.

How Colgate was made?

Bet you have seen the ever irritating and super lack of creativity Colgate commercial on television - Colgate Total 12 Professional Clean. Ever wondered how it was made? I wondered. I have some guesses on how it was made:

1) Take some dentist,

grind them into paste form, inject into tube.

2) Take some dentist look-a-likes,

grind them into paste form, inject into tube.

OR

3) Take some fake dentists (like those in the commercials), grind them into paste, inject into tube.

To create: Colgate Total 12 Professional Clean
with "dentist-like" ingredients.
