I WANNA TAKE UP BOXING OR KICK BOXING CLASSES!

anything that involves me kicking/hiting would do..

just to let all the frustrations out

and up my confidence..

i don't wanna have to resort to screaming or swearing

or flinging a metal tool across someone's face

"If i were a politician.."

the upcoming elections..i really don't have anything to say about it. you may call me ignorant..but i really have no interest in politics? so as long as we're not ruled by a tyrant or a bunch of lunatics..i guess we're ok.
our government isn't perfect..but then again who is?
i think they're doing a pretty fine job so far..my only complaint would be the education system.
unfortunately..they're not doing a good job. not in terms of the syllabus but in terms of the educators.

although i'm not a patient person, neither do i aim to teach..
i get extremely worked up when i hear about nonsensical teachers.

people who don't care for the well being of their students.
educating a young adult/child isn't just about the books. don't stop teaching there?
what about manners? behaviour? morals? don't leave it to the parents.. i mean besides parents..teachers are the next most influential adults in students' lives..

people who don't think before they speak/scold.
i think some teachers don't realise how much the choice of words can affect a person. once you pick the wrong words or use the wrong tone..that's it..you attempt to "discipline" your kids but you end up encouraging rebellion or something..

people who are biased.
favouritism is shit. this lot should just be fired. straight away.

people who judge.
as for this lot..they should be ashamed of themselves.
being adults..being teachers..leaders..
how can one ASSUME what type of student is like based on what they look like?
what kind of an example are you setting for your students?!

people who are in it for the money and stability..and long holidays.
these people make me sick.

people who put up a show for principals.
and that's exactly how terrible teachers get away with their shit behaviour.
they put up a bloody show when the principal annouces that they wanna sit in for a class.
shouldn't they know that when somebody knows they're being observed..they will behave differently?? the Hawthorne effect..if i'm not wrong..

people who don't respect their students.
they are human beings as well..so how do you expect your students to respect you if you don't respect them?

people who think they're always right.
whoever gave them the idea that just coz they're older and that they're the TEACHER..they will always be right?! someone please remind them that they're not perfect.. the level of authority they have shouldn't be abused like that..

it sickens me to hear about people who enrol in NIE for a stable job..when they really don't give a shit about their students or have zero concept about teaching.
it's not about the pay. it's not for the stability.

IT SHOULD BE ABOUT THE PASSION TO TEACH AND NURTURE.

i bet you half of the teachers in local schools now don't have that.
i already know of a few.

So if i were a politician..or someone of importance in the teaching world or something
I would like to change the whole selection process for teachers!
it shouldn't be based on qualifications but on the personality and sincerity.
i mean if i can't feel that during the interview..or i can't get a sense of the person's dedication then i would think twice about setting him/her loose in schools.

another thing i would like to impose..
feedback.
from students.
coz the only people who are allowed to evaluate school teachers are probably only the head of departments or the principal or the VP.
when the students..are the ones who interact THE MOST with the teachers?
yes they are young and some of them might be biased..but i feel that they should be heard!
Why not?
IT IS more sensible to access someone from different levels & points of view.

hasn't anyone in moe figured that out?
or any principal..who has come so far..and is probably well educated and has had years of experience..think of that?!

ergh...

i need a restraining order..

if only.

it would be perfect for my current situation with that young desperate bag of shit at my workplace. since firing him is out of the question coz unfortunately he does his work properly.

i'm not the sort to hate people..but this bag of shit..deserves it.

it's been more than a year since i started work here and he's been at it since the beginning!
isn't he tired of it already?? one year of being ignored should be enough to dash whatever delusional thoughts he had?! even after sounding comely mean when i take his phone calls and slamming down the phone without saying 'goodbye' at the end of the conversation doesn't deter him!!

everything doesn't bloody work! he still stares..he still tries to get my attention
even his colleagues know about his bloody crush! ( i say crush because he's only 21? his mental age is probably 16 -_- it's so secondary school! he thinks i'm younger than him! )

i'm not some sweet teenager he can hook up with! everything about him makes me sick.
his voice ( is impossibly squeaky.. and you thought beckham sounds bad.. ) he used to have a horrid broom of bronze(?) hair.. he has discoloured teeth.. he wears blueish tinted glasses.. he smokes.. and he doesn't understand that staring is awfully rude..

CAN IT GET ANY WORSE?!

he recently chopped off his broom and is now sporting a short do.. as in a proper male haircut..
and he's been bloody trying to get my attention! it's like he's desperate for me to acknowledge him. In his delusional mind, he's probably thinking that how that he's got a snazzy haircut i'll like think it's really 'handsome' and start looking at him different?!

do i really have to resort to violence? to get my point across?
i just want him to leave me alone and stop staring at me like one day he'll get to "date the boss' young teenage daughter"
YUCK
makes me wanna smash his face into the stainless steel panel he's working on

ergh..

actually i don't even wanna have any kind of contact with him

so anyone wanna beat him up for me? *evil grin*

nah...beating him up won't work..since he delusional -_-
he'll probably go all puppy-eyes on me and hope that i'll feel sorry or something
BLEURGH

anyways..i did what i can already..
since my parents told me to "just ignore" the bugger.. -_-
like i haven't tried!?

there's only so much one can take
i reached my limit of tolerance today..hence the need to let it all out!

so seriously..
any suggestions? anything that's not violent.. help me deal with this very unpleasant person that's ruining my otherwise peaceful (sort of) work environment...?

miss singapore universe 2006

if anyone caught the miss singapore universe pageant last night on ch5..
you might agree with me when i say it is one bloody f**ked up competition.

there was so much hype this year about the contestants being graduates and all. one would expect lotsa articulate, charming & witty ladies.
but NOOooo..
most of them are just fluff.

like geraldine loo, ms car model.
yikes. she who declared pussycat dolls' song 'Don't cha' best represents her personality coz
she's 'hot'
alright..whatever you say ms loo..whatever you say.. -_-!

the fluffiest one of all (based on last night's show)would probable be this one candy-voiced miss, andrea teo. she looks like that girl..i forgot her name..she was famous for being a bikini babe..the one who appeared in 'eye for a guy', the first season.
big smile..long hair..doesn't think much..

anway..during the question & answer round..
she was asked to justify the claim that THIS competition is about both beauty and brains. quite a typical question really..
you wouldn't believe whe she said next
it went something like this..

*sweet high pitched voice* i have beauty...and brain.. the others behind me.. the other contestants.. have brains.. and beauty.. so this is what makes the competition.. beauty.. and brains.. *smile smile*

o_O

brilliant.
so sweet of the hosts andrea de cruz and adrian pang to still respond so nicely to such fluff..

i guess she wasn't the worst of the lot..
fluff doesn't kill..you just get labelled a bimbo..which isn't as bad ( in a way) as the next contestant i'm gonna talk about..

miss jeanette wee ; aged 22
well..she made it to the top 10 along with miss candy-voice
i don't know how they did it but they did
her question was about the recent tammy sex video and how such behaviour reflects on the mentality of the youths of singapore.

she said

"teenagers..like me ( wide bloody grin ) like to do this kind of thing.. they think it's fun.. let people see..(giggles)"

those aren't her exact words but the idea is there..at least what i thought i heard last night.
this 22 year old..first declares herself a teenager.. then practically told the entire population of singapore watching last night that she's a 'tammy' herself?!

is this the kind of role model you wanna put on tv?!
a 22 year old airhead who giggles about sex videos and calls herself a teenager? and thinks that teenage sex videos are ok?
she's entitled to her opinion..that's for sure
but i mean was she even aware of what she just said?
oh my goodness..
it doesn't get worse than that

oh wait. it does. -_-
i think the results were completed unjustified
someone tell me why carol cheong won.
was it her boobs? was it coz she was one of the viewer' favourites?
was it her somewhat resemblance to last year's winner - ms cheryl tay ? ( whom i thought deserved the crown )
she certainly didn't impress during the question and answer. i can't even remember what she said!
so WHY?

whatever happened to Zeenat Nisha? she had a nice healthy outlook and she spoke quite well..although i wasn't sure if she answered the qn.
Or viewer's favourite - Nazreena Mohamed?
Or that spunky short hair lady - Weng Yifei..the only one i remembered. she didn't even make it to top 10. and i thought she was the only one who looked like she was having fun during the part when parking lot pimp? sang while the girls "strutted their stuff" and attempt some dance moves.

i think it's time someone did something about the whole pageant
stop making it such a flesh parade
stop crowning girls that look the part
stop allowing fluff into the top 10
stop being hypocritical by labelling the competition as one of beauty and brains when it's actually mostly looks they are looking for
stop judging girls based on what the general but damn messed up ideal of beauty
long hair, boobs, skinny & smiley
if thats the case. don't bother having auditions. just grab some leggy girl on the street..intelligence is not a must..send her to beauty queen boot camp and send her off for competition.
why bother with an actual audition/judging?

good riddance!

I got rid of my site counter!
if anyone had noticed..my counter doesn't move very much
it's unnecessary and quite depressing
all thanks to my inactive counter..i sometimes feel like there's no reason for me to blog since i don't think alot of people read it.
but then again! why should the reason WHY i write depend so much on how many hits my blog gets?! the point of THIS is just a way for me to just share whatever it is i want

so..if you read it and you like it..i'm glad i amused you for abit
if you don't like it..then don't come back

and well if no one reads it
then..so be it!

i love this song..

first heard it weeks ago during an episode of CSI..
then i heard it again 2 days ago
the original song is by tears for fears..which i didn't particularly like
but this one..this cover is brilliant

it's from the movie donnie darko staring jake gyllenhaal..i've never watched it though..
but from the sounds of it..could be something i might enjoy
the lyrics of the song can be found here

What i saw at the back of a black Getz..

IM A HUNK

wow..
the dude is REALLY full of himself..
it's either that or his girlfriend is a tasteless bimbo who worships him

great..

o_O
