i think Singapore has a big fucking problem for such a small country.

people around here,
are lazy
and i don't mean couch potato-ish kinda lazy
i mean too effing lazy to move, just an inch more on the bus
too lazy to stand up and get out of the way for the passenger on the inner seat getting out

i admit,
i do on many occassions,
simply swing my legs onto the outside so that i remain seated while the person walks out
BUT
if i see that the person has lotsa things,
i would actually stand up and give way

not even mentioning the stupid incident on the bus yesterday where the man was too impatient to just fucking wait for the bust to stop.

today,
i was on bus three,
and i was on the inside.
first of all, i had to reach around the woman's head extremely awkwardly so that i could ring the bell
obviously,
i'm getting off

she makes no attempt to move as the bus approaches the bus stop,
no not even a little
finally, as the bus comes to a halt,
i clear my throat and turn towards her, sitting on the edge of my seat
she moves about one full inch
does not even move her legs fully to the side
like what the fuck?
and it's not like the bus is crowded and there's no space for her to put her legs

she's just too damn effing lazy!

so basically i just have to shove past/ shove through her damned legs to get out

ugh

these people piss me off
fucking shitheads

i need to get outta this damn country

i'm happy today(:
it feels like the end of the week and it's not

WHY WHY WHY!

and blogger isnt working at uploading pictures now

WHY WHY WHY!

only yours baby

i'm charis vera Ng,
i'm NOT a Singaporean, i was born in UK
but i spent most of my four years in scotland
i love alastair(:
i'm doing my best to live for God though i often fail miserably

ok,try this:
you're this girl who's flown over to this country when you're no more than four years of age
you resent your dad for it,
and it doesn't help when things between your parents don't work out either.

so you miss your home terribly,
you miss going strawberry-picking,
you miss eating boiled eggs out of egg-cups
and you miss warm and cuddly Uncle John and Aunty Esther.

instead,
you find yourself forced to change
and adapt in a horribly hot place
where in primary school,
you meet cold,heartless little kids who ignore you and don't let you play "family"
just cos your accent is different.
early on,
you get weird looks and you find yourself going for recess breaks alone.
your classmates complain to the class teacher when you call them stupid
because they don't understand what to you is simple english.
but they leave you alone when you call them an imbecile
because they don't know what it means.
your primary 1 & 2 class teacher takes joy in complaining to your mummy
because she detests you.
she detests you for constantly correcting her english grammer and pronunciation in front of the class
you soon realize that you can actually gain and keep friends upon them finding out your mother's an actress
but by that time you've more or less forced yourself to lose your accent which makes communication a lot easier anyway.

that was the little girl charis,
now,
on top of that,
i can be a total biotch sometimes, towards people.
and don't tell me you aren't sometimes please.
but i try my very best not to bitch about people.
im a dangerous shopper(=
i never know what i want or need til i see it.

i don't like television.
now that's a first innit?HAH.
bet you never knew someone who didn't like tv
well i don't
and i'm not trying to be different and difficult
it's noisy and boring
i like music:)
i find eating a chore but i love snacking
figure that out
i find certain kinds of pain addictive,
no, i promise i'm still sane.

which is actually pretty remarkable for someone living here,
in this time and place
where you normally get loads of homework,
tests with questions that look like they're in foreign language,
and where everything's a competition to be the best,
the prettiest,
the most popular,
the most hated,
the thinnest,
the fattest, the coolest
the list goes on.
one shouldn't try to be something you're not,
but everyone knows that's easier said than done.
like duurh.
