in a really bad mood.
it should have been a portent, starting the day getting a big fat bitching from HT.
"you've been copying the outlines since last year, michael. has it worked? still getting Os and Fs right" ok i guess i had it coming, but STILL. and i'm surprised to find out that she actually knows that i never really did my homework. (no QNLY jokes here, please) and even then that's not really true, i was much more diligent for econs last year i think. just because i copied the answers doesn't mean i didn't actually do my work [although that logical leap of faith(.. or is it leap of logical faith or.. whatever.) is true this year], how silly. then again she was stricter last year too. i think she's just given up, or something. although i really don't see why she can tell us "i haven't marked your essays class, but don't worry i'm looking at them everyday". i don't think she should have said that. it just frustrates things more. it didn't help that i couldn't really do the history test either. and it wasn't even a hard question.
but school wasn't really the bulk of it. rather, it was those annoying singaporeans that i had to face. firstly, there was this botox-ed 50+ bitch in semi-glam clothing who cut my queue at the dentist's. now before you call me petty - read on. now normally, i'm late for my appointments, which means that i'm moved to a later slot in a sense. this time, instead of arriving at 5 i arrived at 5.15. okay fair enough, i sat down and proceeded to engross myself in copies of
Newman, which is like a toned down version of FHM. but after awhile i got annoyed, even up till 6 i wasn't called in. and this girl who'd come in later than me, clearly, had gone in first. at this point i was edgy. there was something wrong about this, but i kept my cool still. apparently they'd forgotten about me. shifting me to later, but not actually giving me a real slot.
so then in swooshes this botox bitch halfway while girl-who-came-later-than-me was inside. and the moment she stepped in, all cruella de vil like, she announced that her appointment was at that time (6 whatever it was, thirty or something) with a voice that expected to be served ASAP. she then continued to complain loudly and rather obnoxiously that the
previous time she'd come, other people who'd come later got to go in earlier than her. i could sense something brewing and promptly stood up and informed the receptionist that when could i go in because i'd been waiting for more than an hour and could i go in please? they told me to wait. so okay.
then when said girl came out from the dentist's room, one of the receptionists was busy with collecting consultation fees as well as booking of a next appointment, whilst the other one was busy with something else. whatever the case was, fucking bitch woman immediately took it as a sign that she could go in (because you know, no one's inside the room what! so can go in lor. i booked my appointment at this time so i have to go in then lorh!), took the opportunity when everything was all in a mess, and swiftly walked in with that pseudo-friendly-charming hi-how-you-doing platitudes for the dentist. you know, even if she WAS meant to go in before me (and she wasn't! because she came in after me AND had an appointment later than me) you aren't supposed to enter without the receptionist telling you that you can go in! but i think she was aware that i wanted to go before her and so using her fucked-up logic that "oh because someone cut my queue in the past now i am bloody entitled to do the same to others", she was alert. but really, what a fucking hypocrite. i think the clinic should invest in a proper queue number system instead of manual service to call in people. inefficient. people like these just walk all over it and abuse the system with a loud, empty, threatening voice. especially since they're adults. doesn't help that i still look like a 14 year old.
in any case, when the bitch came out and they told me that i could go in, i griped loudly that i had waited for a very long time, especially since people were cutting my queue. she obviously heard that, but didn't retaliate cos she KNEW she was going ahead of me and in the wrong. or at least i hope so, maybe she didn't even hear it at all, which is worse. but whatever. come to think of it, zc was right. i should have just marched in immediately after she invited herself in and dragged her out. or at least created a big ruckus. (at the time, i was wary that i might have gotten into legal trouble. fray and all, my npcc knowledge in ri came in useful. so i didn't, even though i did consider doing it.) oh well maybe if i will hard enough, my latent psychic powers will come to life and her teeth will all drop out.
ugh. after i finally left the dentist's almost 2 hours after being stuck in their tiny little waiting room alternating between
Newman and
Heart of Darkness and catching a few annoyed snoozes, i walked out to the main road to catch a cab home. there happened to be one just turning out. i was gonna walk towards it (i was about 5m away), when i see this guy about a 100m away from the opposite side of the cab running towards me. now i don't know why i didn't enter the cab, but anyway- the driver's head was turned to face the side which said guy had came from just when he rounded the back of the cab. and he had the audacity to cut in front of me, even whilst i was walking, to run and dash into the cab, stare at me with a FUCKING BLURBLUR DEER-CAUGHT-IN-THE-HEADLIGHTS-LOOK when he knew clear well he was stealing my bloody cab. and it was so freaking blatant. to add insult to injury, he had to go all the way to my side of the cab before entering, and not on the opposite side he'd come from. and i couldn't drag him out cos 1. i'm smaller and 2. the driver hadn't seen either of us before that guy'd entered, so i had no basis, so to speak. ugh. what on earth!! i hope the cab got caught in a jam, wherever he was going to.
i think outside people bully me because my frame and body is small. if i were big and tall and muscular like say, joellouis for example - i wouldn't be blogging all this now. now that's a reason good enough to gym.
and to top it all off, my parents zoomed in into my underlined econs grade the moment they saw my results slip, without any regard at all for the other 3 subjects which had all seen improvements. including the A. first A and they say nothing. wow. parents. they ALWAYS love doing that. fastidious nitpicking but when you actually do something right for once, it never gets noticed.
