Haze and Pi Sai

So guys.

I'm sure you all know what this post is going to be. No it's not going to be a rant on this haze, even though I would very much love to rant.

No no no no, this post is going to be all about how to deal with the haze.

First off, stop complaining on twitter. It won't help the haze at all. I've been seeing nearly every tweet on my TL all about the haze. If complaining on twitter helped to clear out the haze...the haze would have been cleared out in one hour already. So what to do? Just keep updated about it, and take measures to ensure that your health is good.

Secondly, WHATS WITH POSTING THE PICTURES OF HAZE?! I CANT EVEN SEE SHIT YOU WANT ME SEE WHAT?! I know you're trying to prove a point that the haze is really affecting your visibility of whatever you're looking at. Trust me I think nearly the whole, if not the whole Singapore and some other countries are also experiencing the same thing. It's really something we can all sympathize with each other about but at the same time can't do anything about it. If you really WANT to help people online, a good step would be to tell people how to keep healthy in this weather, that would be much more helpful....trust me.

Thirdly and lastly, guys stop complaining the PSI, go up go down go left go right go front go back. PSI is PSI....what you SHOULD be more concerned about is how to keep YOUR HEALTH STABLE. There are many people with breathing/heart problems that are much worse off than us. The worst thing you feel is some breathing difficulties....there are people out there who can barely even breathe. Be thankful that you still have the energy to complain on twitter and facebook!

Lastly guys, drink lots of water, have enough rest, and also STAY INDOORS. I have no idea why people love to tweet pictures of the outdoors, which is blurry, yet they still stay outside. I mean if you really thought the weather was bad, why not just stay at home or go to a enclosed area?

I think the whole haze thing is being blown up way out of proportion. Haze can be bad for health yes, but not if you know how to take measures to ensure you're not badly affected. So guys....this haze won't last for a whole year, just a week or so at the most. So just stay home during this period..and then we can all stop complaining after Sumatra runs out of trees to burn.

EC, Crush and Love.

You see that person in the crowd....he, or she, looks amazing to you. A stunning face, great smile, eyes and everything else.

You think you're in love......

WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD THE FUCK UP

You sure not?

There's a pretty big difference between Eye Candy, Crush, and Love.

A real big fucking difference, so learn it.

Eye Candy

You just like to look at that person. You haven't talked to them even once, not even made eye contact, but yes you admire the person's looks from a distance. You stalk the person everyday on twitter and facebook, just to see their face. You dream about his or her face every night before you sleep.

Yes, that's still called an eye candy, I hope you understand why. See face only.

Many people don't understand that Eye Candy means you like to look at a person because you find them pretty/handsome. You don't have to even know their names, just the face itself. Many at times from that we believe that we're “in love” and that's a load of crap. An eye candy is just pleasing to the eye, simple as that, nothing more, nothing less.

Crush

This is where things progress slightly further...

A crush. You've seen that person, you've made friends with that person, you even talk to that person regularly. Yes it's progressed from just knowing their face to knowing their names, attitude, behaviour and character. And if you still feel attracted to them somehow, yes we will call that a crush.

But no, it's still not love, don't confuse that.

A crush....is someone you like cos of their looks maybe and also their character. Someone can have the face of a fairy tale character which you feel attracted to. But once you find out about their character it can be a major turn off, and then you don't feel an attraction to them anymore. That's why many people have eye candies which they want to “get to know better” and end up disappointed.

But wait...no that's not love yet.

Love

This is a stage when you're already very close to that person, know his or her character well enough, still like them and still feel attracted to them. You also cannot go a moment without seeing/talking/listening to their voice. Yes yes really overly attached.

But there's a big difference between a crush, and love.

Let's say...you meet someone else one day, another person whom you find looks really attractive and has a great attitude you love too. And then you realise....you like them too. And yes, that's called a crush.

So what now? You have one person you love, and another person you crush on? That's bullshit.

LOVE is when you really feel for a person so much, no one else can compare. Even when you meet another person who has even better looks and personality you still love that first person even more. It's when you only have eyes for that one boy/girl and even if some Miss Universe turns up at your house the boy/girl is still the best looking in your eyes.

It means that your feelings stay loyal to a person no matter who else you meet in your life. So no matter how pretty/sexy/hunky other guys or girls are, you still only feel that crazy love for that one person and no one else can compare. It means you accept that person's flaws and bad sides, and you love them even more because of it.

That...is a rough meaning of love.

Even after all these explanations, understand that what I'm talking about here is still considered teen love and not true love. True love is when you face hardships with that person but still manage to pull through....well because you really love that other person and don't want them to get hurt by you. That's true love. Being able to go through the storms of life together without falling apart.

Hope you guys enjoyed reading this pretty sentimental and maybe mushy post. I wrote this well....because I just went through my own experience and it was really confusing for me to decide who I actually have a crush on and who I really like. But at the end of the day I really know that the girl whom I thought I was so crazily in love with, was just another crush. :)

Singapore School Holidays.

Hey guys, another week, another post! :)

So, it's the school holidays now right? At least for most people it is, I hope you guys are enjoying your holidays as much as you can, because well as we all know, school holidays in Singapore don't exactly feel like holidays.

Why do I say so? Because we have this very weird, special and annoying as fuck thing called holiday homework. Only available in Singapore. Because schools are so kiasu, they scared you during holiday enjoy too much come back school everything forget. Which is actually correct also. So they jam up your "holidays" with homework and make this new term called "holiday homework".

Want say homework just say homework lah, still add what holiday in front of it, think it sounds nicer ah? End up like no holiday also...

So apart from the actual holiday homework which no one really bothers to do properly or put in effort because we simply cannot give a single flying Merlion, let's talk about other stuff that we as Singapore students do during the holidays.

LEPAK AT TOWN

Probably the most common pastime during school holidays is for teens/students like us to go out with friends to town. Places like Orchard Road, Bugis are extremely crowded during the holidays. Plus now got Great Singapore Sale we all chiong to buy all the stuff that we don't need yet, but because it looks nice and got good offer right, MUST BUY.

SPEND SPEND SPEND

Probably the most annoying thing about holidays is having no proper pocket money/allowance because our parents think. Hm.....you no school right? So don't need give you pocket money right?

HUH???? I never go out with my friends one meh?

So we end up having to sort of beg our parents some times for that extra few dollars(ok maybe ten dollars or more sometimes) just to go out with our friends. Be it movies, arcades, shopping or anything else that costs money. We have to save and scrimp during the holidays and it really sucks.

GOING OUT

No one likes to be left out. No one. And that's why we always hope our friends/classmates will ask us out during the holidays. Even if it's just one person that asks us out we'll still go along because it feels good to know that even when there's no school people still take the effort to ask you out.

But when people go out.....post pictures on twitter, facebook, Instagram and what not....and NEVER ASK US ALONG.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ya lah confirm say that one, BO JIO. In case you're still living in 2000 and have no idea what this means. It simply translates to something like "Never ask me along?" It's when your own friends go out together and freaking never ask you right, that you say this.

It really doesn't feel good when you know that people are aware of your existence but choose not to ask you out. And then for the rest of the day you feel like everyone hates you and no one wants to be with you. In other words, emoing.

TIME REALLY FLIES

They say time really flies. Actually it only does when you're having fun, I don't recall my boring lessons seem to pass very fast. But the weekends really zoom by. Same with holidays, when you're enjoying yourself so much you start to lose track of the days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, and millenniums. And it suddenly seems that one whole week of the holiday goes by too fast. Way too fast.

And then the next thing you know.....

Principal: Welcome back to another school term!

FUCK NO!!
