/once upon a time, there was a boy who went
WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. the holidays are here! okay, so it's so much of a celebration, cause as we all poor Singaporean kids know, our prelims are a week more. so, here we are, in the midst of the break, breaking mind and soul to lift that ton-heavy textbook (a cause of common illnesses such as textbookfatiguee, also known as tbf) and to strain all mental muscles to cram that last bit of what globalisation is about. don't even get me started. Singapore has a brilliant education, albeit one that's militaristic (a little?) and so regimental. okay, so it's not boot camp style or that we have stupid teachers (though we have quite a few), but rather the stress and all the expectation and the amount of impact it has in our lives. it's just too overpowering i must say. though, i would like to not appear weak and redundant among all these budding geniuses and the like, i must say that school life is not easy. repeat after me, it's not easy. anyway, well, after a redundant(love that word) tirade, i have to come to a not-so-nice-but-correct conclusion, that well, even though i(we?) don't like, i guess, like i said, the impact of education on our entire lives are pretty significant. if i'm boring you right this instant, or worse, stirring up anti-PAP (did i just say that?) sentiments, feel very free to leave anytime, cause i don't really care what you think. you are, after all, reading my blog. so, therefore i can be as trash-talking, redundant (3) and as rude as i want to be. it's a free world.

anyway, moving on to the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, or the other side of the fence and a happier note, i just watched the devil wears prada. another horror flick. damn scary sia. haha, okay, so it wasn't my kind of movie, i go for serious and meaningful arthouse movies like scary movie (another scary flick by the way), but it was kinda interesting on the way how people can be so backstabbing, selfish, immoral, backstabbing, er, bad, not nice. anyway, you get what i mean. one thing i learnt from the show (it's good to pick up learning points you know, it's a lifelong skill!) is that girls can be so bitchy. and when i mean bitchy, it's all claws out and tongue lashing. but there was one quote that Miranda Priestly (Anna Wintour?) said, "Please bore someone else with your questions". nasty. but i like. so people who are still reading, please try not to bore me with the "details of your incompetence" even if you "fall and smack your head on the pavenment". So "By all mean, move at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me". Even though she was such a bitch, Miranda Priestly (by no means is she priestly at all), it superbly acted by a superb 13-time-nominated-for-the-Oscars actress by the name of Meryl Streep. bow down and worship the bitch. okay, so you think i'm sacrilegious now. fine, but don't forget i warned you all. bow down, or forever hold your peace.

okay, today was a great day out with nicole and renee (re-nay). the end/
