Argh... I just can't seem to discipline myself to save nowadays... I've been seeing a new ENT doctor recently to help me get rid of my nasal blockage, and I had my follow-up appointment just now. And since everything ended around noontime, I had the luxury of time to do some shopping...
#1: Bought a Japanese hairstyle magazine from Takashimaya's Kinokuniya
#2: Bought Val's birthday gift at Kalm's... Dang, Kalm's stuff is friggin' expensive! (=.=)
#3: Ate Tori Katsu at Yoshinoya... Why, oh why, Food Republic is always so packed =(
#4: Stopped by JE to get some cough medicine from my GP (which I suspect the culprit was Victor's 'friendly' cough virus =P), and conveniently, Popular was around the corner, and I bought Tank's latest album
Hmmm... Everything set me back about $80+... Bahhh... (=.=) Alright, I gotta stop spending and start saving for my Japan study trip next year...
Just as I got back home and set my stuff down, and preparing to relax, my senpai (Japanese honorific term for senior), who is currently in Tokyo on a study exchange program, began ranting to me how 'uncute' Singaporean girls are. Pampered, snotty, indifferent, are just some of the 'milder' terms which he lambasted Singaporean girls with. And I shan't elaborate further to avoid backlash from my female readers. HAHA! =S
How about Singaporean guys? My loyal blog readers would know that I have an issue with the typical Singaporean guy. So let's run down my checklist and determine if u're a typical Singaporean guy. =D
#1: Around ur sec sch era, u tried too hard to act like an ah beng (or like I call it, xiao hun hun a.k.a little kid who likes to mess around) to earn the right to hang out with the 'cool' dudes in school, even though u might be a geeky bookworm. 8-D
#2: A little in the JC/Poly period, u got interested in soccer and can name every single player in the English Premier League squads. But not cos' u really like soccer, but just cos' u don't wanna look like the 'odd kid in the block' and be ostracized. Heck, u've got 2 left feet and u can't even dribble the ball properly even if ur life depended on it. (o.O)
#3: NS makes u utterly deprived of girls, and u hit the clubs and pubs more often than before, just for the purpose of hooking up girls. U might not like booze, dance like a robot chicken, and stutter like a monkey getting electrocuted whenever u try to hit it off with a babe, but something indescribable within u compels u to hit the clubs oh so frequently. (=.=)
#4: If u're in tertiary education, this would apply to u. U join orientation camp after orientation camp, hoping to meet the girl of ur dreams, or at least widen ur social circle, but at the end of the day, u go home feeling empty despite making 1001 new friends. (C'mon la, wake up, wake up! Invest ur time and effort in friends who really matter =D)
#5: U start rambling about the latest sports car as if u're Michael Schumacher himself, when in reality, u can't even afford the tyre of a Toyota car. =S
#6: U like a certain genre of music, but are afraid to be different from the rest, so ur iPod playlist is disguised with all the typical songs which Singaporeans listen to, so that u'll look trendy to ur peers, instead of them laughing at ur weird taste for music. (I'm so sick of hearing Lady Gaga's song all over the island. =.= Or the overplayed Jason Mraz's I'm Yours, which is seriously overkill for me, altho' I like Jason Mraz's songs)
#7: U start becoming a gym freak, and become obsessed with tanning, so that u'll develop the perfect sculpted body which women would love.
#8: Ur hobbies are defined by the trends. If guitar is cool, u'll learn it (and break some strings). If windsurfing is cool, u'll hit the beach (and fall into the sea umpteen times). If hip-hop dancing is cool, u'll try too hard to impress girls (and fall flat on ur butt).
#9: If u like Japan, it's because of the anime, food and girls (quote from my senpai). And... the disillusioned u think u like Japan, but Japan is much more than just that, and u can never understand that.
#10: SOP (Standard Operational Procedure) Attire: Crumpler (why!!!), bermudas (with Pedro shoes), uninteresting t-shirts. Following fashion trends blindly. (3 blind mice... 3 blind mice...)
#11: All u do all day is emo about BGR problems (Zzz...)
Haha, if u are guilty of at least 5 of these points, I'd consider u the typical Singaporean guy. No offence tho'. =) Being typical keeps u safe and protected in a rigid Singaporean society which expects every citizen to conform. Because of my 'rebellious' nature, I doubt I can stay in SG for long after I graduate. Sooo hoping that there'll be career opportunities for me in Japan...
Anyways, tomorrow's Val's birthday party! =D I nearly forgot about it, but thankfully An Xian reminded me (ops =X). First time actually spending time to buy present for a girl too. Good practice for me when I go to Japan and look for a girlfriend. =P I'm so sorry, Debbie, Janet and Jamie! I'd have done the same too, if I wasn't too caught up with my schoolwork back then. Please forgive me. (>.<) Alrighty, cya guys tomorrow for the PAR-TAY! =D
