A Singaporean girl who graduated from a Medical College in the UK and currently working as a doctor, spending most of my years abroad burying myself amongst medical books, speaking Queen's English and trying to adapt to life in Britain. But I still remain a true blue Singaporean who loves my plate of char kway teow and enjoys the sense of closeness when speaking "Singlish" to my fellow countrymen. Why "The Chinese Doctor"? Because that's what my patients call me since they don't know my name!

Just my luck!

It's not even half the day gone, and I'm already in a foul mood. But I know it's not gonna last very long. I'll be ok in no time.

So what got me into such a pissed off mood this morning.

Early time to blog, you might say. Definitely and you probably guessed that I skipped class. Ha! But WRONG! I did NOT skip class. I forced myself to get up despite my tummy cramps, went to class, and then I was stopped by the Principal.

It was regarding my classes. My 3 months class validity is over, and I'm not supposed to be in class since about 2 weeks ago. How weird that he only tells me now (ok lah, not his fault..I overlooked it...no..I did it on purpose.. :X). I roughly know that my classes end in the beginning of Nov, but I dragged on cos I missed so many during the 3 months, and BY RIGHT, they should be replaced!

BUT Mr. Principal said the validity is not to be extended, unless official letters are given. This was not told when I signed up. And he said if I want to continue my lessons till my JLPT exams (which is 2 weeks away), I can pay $160 to come in once a week for one mth. However, he will give me a discount by allowing me to go for classes everyday for the whole month. If I don't wish to do so, he will not pursue into the matter of the extra 2 weeks, and end my classes with effect from today.

We had some discussion about the contract, and cos my tummy was feeling so uncomfy, and I see no point in carrying the discussion further (even though I still think I am not wrong), I decided to go back. I'm not gonna pay the extra sum for 'tuition', when I can revise in the comforts of my own home. Anyway, from the first lesson till now, I'm left to study on my own most of the time when I'm in class. It wasn't like how the school described to me about the teaching methods. Absolutely crap, and no one in class disagrees with me cos everyone's complaining about it, and we all felt darn cheated.

I shall never go back to this school again. If I ever intend to continue learning Jap, I'll go somewhere that teaches me properly, and not throw me into the ocean to swim alone. I realise that in this school, the only time I learn is when I bombard my teacher with all kinds of questions. The rest, it's all my own studying. 'Nuff said..^&$%

I was feeling so fed up on my way home (I am still slightly so now), and when I got home, Mum wasn't too pleased about the issue as well. I think I'll appreciate it if she doesn't probe further into it cos it'll definitely make me boil again. Wouldn't be that bad if she blames my unreasonable school for it..but I'm sure she'll blame me for it and continue nagging for god knows how long. Mothers are like that lah, hor? Hmm..

****************
Decided to cool myself down by looking around in the bus, so that I will stop thinking too much about the earlier incident, and oh my, did I notice some weirdos ard..
First, it was 2 RGS girls.
I don't often see very nerdy girls around (guys, yes, but not much of girls), but these 2 are really nerdy. I don't think they're nerd in the head, but they do appear like nerds. Mushroom hairstyle, big specs, reed thin, tall, extremely loose and long pinafore, bags so filled like they're on their first day in Primary school. Can you imagine how it looked? I was so shocked. I thought only I looked like that in Primary and Secondary school. They're not young. Reckon 15 or 16 already.
They sat 2 rows behind me. I was expecting them to be quiet (nerds mahz), but when they started talking...all the singlish (who said RGS can't speak singlish..) and check out their speed of spoken english. I wouldn't expect them to look like how they spoke.
Then there was this old uncle who can't speak english. He isn't quite sane I suppose. And he tried asking them to solve one of his dunno wat problem, and they couldn't understand him. Me too. And throughout the journey, he was changing seats time and time again. What's wrong with his butt?
Lastly was this 2 students. Eeks. I'm still wondering if they're gay. They're not locals..look like Indonesians, Thai or Filipinos. Initially I thought they're good friends, until the smaller-built guy laid on the other's shoulder! And he seem to be feeling comfortable about it. Yucks. I have never seen this happening for guys..and I think it's gross...
Hahaaha..just when I thought weirdos appear only in the MRT (Josh noes about this..hahaha...he saw me running for my life once when this mad man came chasing after me) at around 9-11pm, I met 3 early in the morning.
