Lookit the time. 0258 am. What am I still doing up when the whole world's asleep?? Ok, technically, I think half of my class is still awake trying to mug for the paper on Monday. My world's pretty small actually. Anyway, I'm still trying to complete my drawings for submission on Monday so if I don't get it done now, I won't have time to study for the paper on Monday. But reason for blogging: I need to entertain myself. Doing work in the wee hours of the morning is depressing.
Is it human nature to take half a year to really get to know people? I realized that after half a year, I'm finally starting to settle down in my class and being hyper bouncy bouncy with everyone but then it's time to split up into different classes and get to know new people all over again. However, within this one year alone, I've made friends whom I appreciate alot and whom have made otherwise dreary days fun. Thanks to my beloved group of classmates who entertain me to no end, by turning around and around and around everytime I tap their shoulders and running away. Thanks to people who accept me regardless of what comes out of my mouth (burps, bubbles, saliva, weird noises..yeah, you get the picture). No matter how much I may miss the class and the people, there are certain elements that I will be glad to be away from for good:
#1: Irritating people who think they know everything but actually everything that comes out of their mouths are brainless questions. I can't quote any examples right now because the questions are too stupid for me to take stock of.
#2: People who don't do their share of the groupwork and then whine to their boyfriends about how 'bad' their group members are treating them.
#3: People who don't do their share of the groupwork because they don't know how to operate the computer when we have a whole year dedicated to learning those specific computer programmes, and then instead of asking people to teach them, they ask people to do the work FOR them.
#4: People who don't do their share of the groupwork because they rather finish their own personal work because they have to sleep by 10pm every night otherwise their eyes would be too puffy to apply that 10 layers of mascara evenly.
#5: People who don't do their share of the groupwork and then go around disturbing everyone else (or painting their nails or dancing to Kylie Minogue) who's trying to do their work FOR them including their own work.
#6: People who don't do their share of the groupwork and go to bed at 10pm while everyone spends sleepless nights trying to finish the project and then asking the next day why we "look so tired".
#7: People who don't do their share of the groupwork and just freeload while others do research for a presentation and then when you get questioned, the rest of us have to answer for you and after the presentation you complain that we didn't give you a wide enough topic to talk about. Hellooo? Wake up and smell the bird droppings on your window. You were supposed to do YOUR OWN research and then talk about YOUR OWN topic. So what if you're nervous. The rest of us are nervous as well, but do we keep griping about it? No. If you've done your research, you wouldn't be nervous as well because you would be well prepared. So can it.
#8: People who spend half their life and half their savings on makeup and then applying 10 layers of mascara and then asking us or me, whether her eyelashes look ok when they seriously remind me of spider legs.
#9: People who think they're pretty but they're not. If you're pretty, people would have told you. You don't go around asking whether you're pretty. Especially if you're not, so quit applying makeup all the time and then asking us whether it looks ok or has your mascara smudged because the rest of us honestly don't care. We go to school to study and not for a fashion show... and the guys do not care either.
#10: People who whine and talk loudly in high pitched irritating sharp tones.
#11: People who shoot rude angry stares at noisy children in public, in front of the kids' parents. Hellooo?? Kids are naturally noisy because they like to play and have fun. You can't go around shushing them up, especially if their not YOUR kid. You can't do as you please just because you think you're pretty (that's what YOU think) and rich because, you don't own the world. People share the same air space as you whether you like it or not. If you like things your way, why don't you go live on Jupiter or something.
#12: People who keep forcing others to eat Macdonald's or KFC consecutively for 2 days in a row for 3 consecutive weeks. If you want to die an early death due to high cholestrol and blocked arteries and obesity, then you're on your own. The rest of us would like to live a long and happy life, thank you very much. And don't give us that pout of yours because plus your black eyeshadow and thick clumpy spider legs for eyelashes, you look like a sad mongrel. And quit forcing us to eat expensive food because unlike you, the rest of us are poor struggling art students.
#13: People who keep clinging onto you and holding your hand or just behaving in an ultra lesbo intimate manner in public. Maybe it's in your culture to hold hands and keep clinging onto your friends but this is Singapore. So quit acting all touchy feely with us because we hate it. It's embarrassing and annoying. And you have sweaty palms.
Ok, I'm done with my rants. It's 0340am now so I'm kindda cranky. My aircon is spoilt so all I have is a fan in my stuffy room and it's so hot and I'm sticky and gross and I'm sleepy but I can't afford to go to bed and it's too hot and stuffy for me to concentrate on my work properly without breaking off in 5-minute intervals to go stick my face in the freezer to cool off. I'm crabby.
