About the GrumpyQueen

A.K.A Gatekeeper

I love food, don't deprive me of it.

I'm not Princess, I'm Queen

I can be quite grumpy and when I am, I hide here, my dungeon for reflections, ramblings and ranting.

Whatever I write are opinions, and may not be the whole truth. Do not read it like the Gospel.

I hate as vehemently as I love
I already know I'm crazy, be my friend, it's safer

Different is not bad, just not the same as the rest

If you don't like me, it's probably mutual
But I'm nice, really :p

Updates

Starting work next week. Kinda of excited yet I feel a sense of loss. But heck, we all have to grow up, if not now then some other day. But this WILL NOT be the last of my studying days, I will be back for more studying someday.

Come to think of it, I love studying. I think I'm a nerd.

Why are there so many cheena piangs all around ar? Everywhere leh! In the cake shops, hospitals, shopping centres, food courts, mortuary, buses. EVERYWHERE! I'm not a bloody racist or whatever but isn't this all too much? There are simply too many of them around. I don't even like their attitude.

Today, I was at this cake shop in Jurong point. We bought this brownie thinking it's $1.5o. In actual fact, they put the wrong tag up, it's supposed to be $1.80. Naturally, my mum wanted to know why she was being charged an extra 30 cents right? The stupid cashier told her, quite rudely that someone put the wrong tag up, supposed to be $1.80 for one piece. No apology, in the wanna-buy-then-buy-don't-buy-go-and-die tone.

They say Singaporeans are choosy, don't wanna take those jobs. What about those old people? Aren't they Singaporeans who need jobs? But no one wants them, cos why pay for old people when u can get a youngster to do it for the same wage?

But I mean, just think. Shouldn't we be happy that our youngsters are working in better paid jobs rather then doing menial jobs? Why are we aiming for our young to be sweepers or toilet cleaners? Do the bosses of cleaning companies expect their kids to become cleaners? Would they want their kids to earn something like $800 a month scrubbing toilet floors? If you won't consider making your kid become a cleaner for $800 a month, how the hell you expect youngsters to take up your cleaning jobs? Of course have to leave it to the old people to do la!

Seriously, when we pay peanuts, we expect to get monkeys. What can we expect from people who're willing to work for long hours for a petty sum of money? Unless we're willing to give our cleaners, garbage collectors, embalmers, bus drivers a better wage, I guess we'll have to make do with these monkeys.

And anyway, it's too late to give them better wages now. Since we're still gonna be stuck with these monkeys with or without good wages. We should have been smarter and given our cleaners and all better wages from the start. Increasing their salary now will make us look silly. Pay so much to keep the monkeys. All the more they won't leave la!

Random note: I wanna come up with a wishlist now. Since I won't be using my parents' money for much longer, I think I'm now qualified to draft a wishlist and try to get it.

1) The latest digital camera. I think it's 10 megapixal or something, according to what I read on xue's blog. Now, even my blackheads can be counted! :p

2) Photoshop. But that's silly because I don't know how to use and I got no time to learn. :(

3) hp bought with my money.

4) More clothes and shoes, we can never have too many clothes or shoes!

5) I don't know, maybe I wanna save up for Botox/plastic surgery or something? :p

I think trying to look beautiful is addictive. You can never be TOO beautiful to wanna stop trying. First, we try to lose some weight. Then we get rid of the pimples. Next we find the feature we hate most and try to fix that. When wrinkles appear we do Botox...it'll never stop. But I doubt I'll do something as drastic as go for Botox or plastic surgery.

Hence, number 5 should be to save up for my uni. Hopefully, I'll be able to quit during my uni education and be a full time student again. Hahaha! Sounds like fun leh! :p
