All in a Day's Work

Went down to Centrepoint for a buffet lunch at Parkway Thai Restaurant with mum today. The spread was not too bad: Pineapple rice, Pepper crab and prawns, deep fried baby squid, barbecued chicken, tom yum soup, Red Ruby and fried fish, just to name a few dishes.

After lunch, I took a walk around the Shopping Centre, home to Singapore's very own Robinsons. A quick peek inside revealed a rather disappointing Toys Section, which came as a surprise to me, since shopping mums would usually dump their children at the Toys Department to wreck havoc there so that they are free to shop in peace.

Later popped by Le Meridien Shopping Arcade, but most of the shops there were closed (with the exception of the Travel Agencies and Suspicious Massage Outlets). Kinda creepy...

On The Future of Singapore's Economy

a big worrying trend!! everyone is clamouring for jobs and we often land up in jobs that we don't even like or have no passion for it, simply because we are living in Singapore. 20 years ago, such ruthless competition is unheard of. Those were the best time to be living in. Now, every business is offering free gifts, standing all over MRT stations and pestering pedestrians like crazy that it borderlines on touting! Touting is illegal in Singapore, but i'm sure Gahment will close one eye, because they cannot afford to offend these companies.

Your Child is an Illiterate Cabbage

Writing their reports at the moment. Revenge! That will wipe the smiles off their nasty little faces! A lot of teachers give everyone top marks for everything, but I see it as my duty to say quite clearly "Your child is an illiterate cabbage," if this is the case. "He is in the advanced class because no one has ever failed him. Nevertheless, he speaks English like a dog." (more...)

The British Council - At Least It's not run by a Drunk

"...The other advantage of working for the British Council is that there are no British Council inspections to put up with: they don't inspect themselves. Other schools have to be "accredited" by the BC, which means that every so often some bearded fuck with a clipboard will appear in your classroom, poking his long nose in. Usually, he wants to see your lesson plan, which I never have, lesson plans being strictly for poofs in my opinion. "Oh," he says, "You don't have a lesson plan," and writes something on his clipboard, deeply shocked by such depravity." (more...)
