they should be burned in hell

Don't litterbugs just pisses you off? Well, at least they DO spoil MY day. I can't help but wonder if the government's going soft on people who litter. Maybe she realises that people can somehow afford the fines thrown at them, and has thus given up on "catching" them. My opinion. These pests should be thrown to prison! Or caned! Corrective Work Orders don't deter these people. It might have been like an opportunity to meet fellow litterbuggers while serving CWOs.

Litterbugger 1: (Sweeping the ground) Hello!
Litterbugger 2: (Picking up thrash) Hi!
*Henceforth we breviate LB1 and LB2 correspondingly.
LB1: My name's C**khead.
LB2: Mine's D**khead.
LB1: So, what happened?
LB2: Didn't know where to dump my fag....
LB1: My sweet wrapper dropped.
LB1 and LB2: (Laughing wholeheartedly)
LB2: Dinner afterwards?
LB1: ON ah!
LB2: Stupid....Timewasting CWO....
LB1: Yah....
LB2: Inspector come liao.....Wayang a bit....

Just yesterday, i was in bus 105 and this young couple sat in front of me. They appeared educated. SPOKE very PROPER English. And when they left, they forgot their Ice Mountain mineral water bottle which was placed in a blue plastic carrier.
I swore i had the very intention to call the police for detecting a suspicious BLUE plastic carrier containing a bottle left behind by someone sitting in front of me. I might even be proclaimed a national hero for my vigilance.

People should stop complaining about the standard of English langauge here. So what if you spoke perfect English? A proper-english-speaking-litterbug?

a new school term

School reopens. Last week.

Lots of stuff to do. Adminstrative, academic, psychological preparation, weight loss....Well, i'm more hardworking this semester. At least for the moment. Had been to the library almost everyday since school reopened. Been doing tutorials and revision. Am DAMN proud of myself. Look at me, a lazy person doing revision just a week into he new school term!

Well, it isn't just all work and no play for me. Probably one of my greatest pastimes' now bowling. Friends who know me will know how much i luVVV bowling. I might not be an excellent bowling player. I'm not that bad either. Being alone most of the time, bowling's one of those sports which doesn't require a sparring partner. Its one very expensive sport though. I look at competitions and tournaments held in the bowling alley i frequent with hope. Hope of competing in one of these tournaments one day. Its not like i'm dreaming of playing against the greats. It would just be great winning $500 in a small-scale competition. I started bowling like in 2002. I was in the army then. And i had this army campanion and friend who was into bowling. Three years later, we are still meeting almost every week for our games.

The reason i'm harping so much about bowling: i had just broken my personal record on 5 August 2005.



See that 242 at the end? That's my record for the moment. It would have looked nicer if it wasn't for that "Press to activate keyboard" thingy blocking my scores. Well, i was so DAMN excited i took this picture with my trusty 2 megapixel K750i.
