July is coming very soon, in about an hour’s time, in fact less than an hour. Time flies..”Once Again”…sometimes, when I was doing something which I do not really like, I would wished that time will past. However, when its over, I felt that time flies. Contradicting…I know…but you see, as the calendar shows, from June to July, one month passed. So fast, just like a blink of the eyes. Something I wanna complain! Three Times being called Uncle! Am I that old? I am not yet reach my twenties, how can I be called “Uncle”. Kids nowadays are rather “naughty” and disrespect! How dare they! Haix, but even if its true, which means I have an “Uncle” face, I think its gonna be bad. Its just like a transition of life, as you climb onto another stage of life, you will face another way of life, another style of living. For instance, as you are young, people do call you “Xiao Di” or “Boy” or whatsoever related to something young. But as you grow older, people starts to call you “Uncle”, its the time to think…”I am old!” That means, lifespan for me shorten, and I am transiting to adult life. For girls, people called you “Xiao Mei” or “Jie Jie”…but after a while, you found out that people starts calling you “Aunty”…! Isnt that bad??!! Its a process I think…adult life is coming soon…but once again…”Am I that old”? I am not yet twenties, and I am still at my teenage stage…WTH! %&$*(**%*%##^! Haix….sigh….
July. Means school is starting soon! Yeah…! I missed schooling…sometimes it felt like “deprived” of it. Just found out that the eCR1 (for us to choose our Uni units and topics online) will starts on 12 July 2007 at 2 pm. Discussed with Yanling and Swee San, get ready for it during that day, Swee San suggested to stand by as early as 11 am. In which I also think we should do that. We are rather afraid that if we got different classes and units…then life will be horrible in there. Swee Swee said, “incomplete”. True enough leh. So we must make sure we stand by on time, and hold online conference. Internet Traffic is also something we are worried about…haix. Hopefully everything turns out well and smooth.
July. Means YJR Chalet. Actually, its starting next week leh!!! Arent you enthu on that? I very enthu lor. I think this time hor, many things are up. Hehe. But hor, have to go to ICA first before joining YJR at chalet. Talking about the application of student’s pass, very troublesome leh. Have to submit and wait for two weeks. Haix, being a student is so “mua huan”. Hopefully that day won be disastrous. For example, “Saying that I have incomplete documents” or “many people” etc…However, looking forward to YJR Chalet.
Nowadays, I do found out that young children today are very very lucky. Our grandparents said our parents are lucky, our parents said that we are lucky. Now, we said the younger generation is lucky. But its purely a fact that kids nowadays have nothing to worry about. Everyday, we see their faces, with some worries stated on it, but what they worried are things like, “Wanna change what phone?”, “Wanna go where and shop”…”Want to buy stuffs” etc. Parents always tends to give the best to their children. For instance, many kids got handphone as early as kindergarden stage…wa lao! Kindergarden…recall…I only got the plastic toy phone ar…somemore is those lousy old fashion one. Also, nowadays they got what Nitendo la, PSP la, as early as Primary school leh. Primary school for me…I remembered playing erasers la, and the best I can get is Tamagochi and Digimon…those small gadgets in which you can fight with your friends, and pls hor, its only small black and white screen. NOW! Hurmp…with coloured big screens, still can listen to music while playing, online, and somemore varieties of game! How I wish I could be in that generation. Kids nowadays are smarter than ever. More demanding than ever. Naughty than ever. Its rather bad now, what would it be like when I got my own children? I just cannot imagine. Maybe I would not want any. But how can…they are cute! Contradiction again!
Okay shall end off here. But hor, I CANNOT STAND PEOPLE CALLING ME UNCLE! ARRGHH!
