Annoyed!!!!

Grrrr I am so annoyed!!!!

I have a mini group project due this friday. Well the data compilation is a group project but the report is an individual piece of work.

We (3 of us) were supposed to discuss and write about some description for our data.. and we were supposed to do it as a group work... I called for a meeting but one of us, refused to meet up because he thinks it is a waste of time and he just wants to get the report over and done with. And he insisted that we not meet and discuss through email! ANd it is hard cos one of us do not have internet access at home!!!!! Grrrrrr

So fine. I've decided to do it on my own!

And today, the tutor said, the data compiliation that we did should be standardised among group members! And so that idiot said ok and told me we should meet tomorrow!

Grrrr!!
See lah! I told you so! I told you to meet earlier but what did you say??? You said it is a waste of time! And now because of YOU i have to waste my time and drag my ass down to the lab tomorrow just to meet you and the other one to discuss about it when i could have stayed at home and finish my report!!!

And the most annoying thing is, i have done my stuff.. and they all asked if they could use mine, (IF I DON'T MIND) cos it would be a waste of time to do it again.

Wah lau eh! Of course i mind lah!!!!
I spent the weekend doing it and now u tell me this!

And now i have no choice but to share it with them because i don't want to waste any more time waiting for these people to do their work! The report is due on friday!!! I want to finish it on Thursday!

And i am also annoyed because we are "Stuck" as a group. There's 9 of us in the class and everyone is like already in a "permanent" group so it is hard for me to join another group! And i think the next part of this module is another project!!! I just hope it is an individual project. It is people like that idiot that makes me hate group work. I prefer to work alone!!!!

I work well in a group but i work better when i'm working alone!!!! Cos i only have to deal with myself and not with idiots and dick heads!

Grrrrr!!!

Oh yeah.. i don't know what's wrong with me.. but... everytime i see the tube map on my desk, i get excited! hee hee!!!!! I'll pick it up, look at it... find the station nearest to the office and just smile! LOL! I'm crazy! But i'm excited!!

La-dee-dah!

Blur...

An hour ago... I just had my lunch...

An hour ago my friends were waiting for me at Millenium Square. We were supposed to go for a Thai meal.

An hour ago... I thought we were meeting tomorrow, which is SUNDAY...

An hour ago... my Greek friend, who wasn't too happy called me and asked me.. "Where are you Fat Fingers?? Home?? I said TODAY! SATURDAY!!! Ok! It's OK! Never mind! See you soon!"

LOL.. I'm such a plum sometimes! And i think it's also partly because i haven't slept well for the past few days... hmmmm

My friend even texted me and MSN'd me earlier to tell me we're meeting today but somehow i saw the words "tomorrow" and "Sunday"!

So i've missed out on a Thai meal! Oooh! Pad Krapow! My favourite!!! But it's ok.. i go there almost every other weekend anyway! Plus, it's good to stay at home cos i need to finish the report which will be due next week and i need to save some money for train fares and stuff!!!

Next Week (1st of March) is Mr. Fat Finger's Mama's birthday. We are going to London to have some Malaysian fare... The pics from louyau.net made me and Mr. Fat Fingers drool all over our keyboards!

And my birthday is at the end of march (The 31st!!) !! hehe And we are all thinking of going to London for the weekend for some Dim Sum and maybe do some touristy stuff.

Yeah so i'll be spending lots of money in the next month... oh and i have to spend on train fares for my internship.... No.. wait! Haha i Just remembered! The co. will reimburse my travel expenses! hahaha! And lunch expenses too! So i guess it's not that bad... i can use some of the money i'll get to save for shoes and handbags hahaha.. not! Ok.. maybe just a pair of shoes.. the one that i have been eyeing... hmmmm

Hmmm?

I just got some SkypeOut credit! So i called home today and talked to my family! And it only cost me 22p (SGD0.60!) for 20min of conversation!! That's cheap!

My sister asked me how's my flatmates and i told her about the "foaming" beans and she laughed...and said... "Remember when you said your flatmate refused to share and get the detergent to clean the floor? How come she is using detergent to wash her vegies?"

Hmmm yah hor!
Why huh?
My flatmate told me there is no need to get any detergent to clean the kitchen floor because we can just use water! (i think i blogged about this before.. hmm)
But of course, if you've studied science before or have any common sense, water does not mix with oil!!!!

So yeah... i don't know why she refused to use detergent to clean the floor but use detergent on her vegies?? -_-"

And i was thinking.. no wonder she is so small and skinny..... she is not getting nutrients from her fruits and vegies cos she has washed it away with the detergent!!!

Hmmmmmm

And today there are some "fresh" shit stains on the toilet bowl again!!! And it cannot be flushed away because... it's above the part where the water will flow down when you flush it! Grrrrr I tried to clean it with the toilet brush but it's already "hardened" and i need to scrub real hard but i just can't bring myself to do it.. so i gave up!!!

That person should seriously consider changing her diet. No one should have shit like this!!! argh!! GRRRR

I hope that person will be constipated till June (when our contract ends) hahaha so that the toilet can stay clean!!!! Even if that person does shit, it will be hard and will not splash all over the bowl! Muahahahahahaahha!!!!!!

Wah siao ah!

So i was in the kitchen with one of my flatmates.. we were preparing our dinner....

She took out her beans.. and poured something into it and soaked it in water...
Then the beans started to FOAM!!
FOAMING you know!!! How can it be???
How can beans foam??

Then i realised.... my flatmate added detergent to it! She was soaking the beans in detergent! Not those to kind of detergent for washing vegetables! But those kind that you use to wash your dishes!!!

I've seen her washing her peppers, vegies and fruits with detergent (rubbing the detergent on them).. but this is the first time i've seen her SOAKING her beans in detergent!!! That's crazy! It will not only kill the nutrients in the beans... it will also kill her!

I think maybe i should ask her why she's doing that.. but she might just ask me to MYOB...but i really don't fancy talking to her but i'm really curious why she does that all the time hahaha...

Lucky!!!

My flatmates are lucky... that i have self control and have a blog where i can vent my frustration and unhappiness about them!!!!! hahaha Or maybe i am the lucky one.. i am sure there are times they wish they could kill me too... it's a mutual feeling.....
Sometimes i wonder if I am capable of doing this... hmmmm I doubt so... because we don't share toilet paper! hahahaha plus i don't like the sight of them and not to say their dead bodies!

Fla. Man Kills Roommate Over Toilet Paper
Tue Feb 21, 6:18 AM ET
MOSS BLUFF, Fla. - A man accused of fatally beating his roommate with a sledgehammer and a claw hammer because there was no toilet paper in their home has been arrested.

Franklin Paul Crow, 56, was charged Monday with homicide in the death of Kenneth Matthews, 58, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
Capt. Thomas Bibb said Crow initially denied his involvement, but confessed during questioning.

Crow told investigators that the men were fighting about the toilet paper over the weekend when Matthews pulled out a rifle. Crow said he then began beating Matthews with the sledgehammer and claw hammer, according to an affidavit.

Matthews was beaten so badly he had to be identified through his fingerprints, detectives said.

Crow was being held at the Marion County jail without bond. It was not immediately known whether he had an attorney.

AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!

My inconsiderate flatmate is trying to kill me...and it is not the first time!!!

She is cooking in the kitchen...and she left her pot unattended...
And i could smell the burning smell of carbon from my room!!!
Her room is just next to the kitchen and my room is next to hers!

What's wrong with these people?

Last week, she or maybe it was another flatmate.. but i know it's either of them! (i did some detective work haha) left her shit in the toilet again. I tried to flush it away but it can't! It's gross!
And i have been watching lots of "You Are What You Eat" on Ch4 and i know what's a good poo and what's a bad poo! And hers is definitely bad!!!! and smelly!! That person should change her diet! Eat more fruits and vegetables! Not pizza all the time! Fibers are good for you!!!!
Oh yes, Dr Gillian said a good poo is when you have to wipe your ass 3 times or less! If you have to keep wiping it then it is bad! I bet that person had to wipe likle 394820482 times!!!!! grrrrrr

Anyway, I was so annoyed i wanted to knock on their doors and asked if they left something in the toilet! But i didn't cos i was rushing to go to class! Bloody cbs!

And i'm feeling sick now cos the smell of the burning pot is really filling up the whole flat! i turned down the fire for her.. but i guessed she turned it up again! What the hell is wrong with these people??????

Ok ok.. i must calm down... contract will end in mid jun. i will never get to see any of them (i hope!) after that! And i wil be away for a month in April.. so that's only like.. 14 weeks! I think i can deal with that! Grrrr... Hopefully i'll still be alive then!

Too Funny!!!

Today's my mama's birthday!
Mr. Fat Fingers and I have ordered a cake for her from a shop in Singapore. Actually it's a home business... anyway...
I let Mr. Fat Fingers do all the work ie. ordering and confirming the delivery time as I have been busy..

So Mr. Fat Fingers asked me what's my mama's name and how many candles they would need etc..

And you know.. in the ang moh world... It's always the name first followed by the surname, but in Singapore, it's the surname first followed by the name...

So this afternoon, my sister texted me to tell me the cake was really good and they all had good laugh because... the person wrote "Happy Birthday, (mum's name) (mum's surname)!" ... and it sounds like the name of a PRESERVED VEGETABLE in Cantonese!

LOL!!!!!!!!! (i'm not gonna put my mama's name here! hehe)

It's too funny! Mr. Fat Fingers and his mum laughed so much that they had to hold on to each other for support! hahahaa

How dare he! hahahha Calling my mum a preserved vegetable! LOL!
It's so funny cos my mum is erm.. not young anymore!! HAHAHAHAH and calling someone her age... a PRESERVED vegetable is really too damn funny!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHHAA

Am i'm glad my mum was not offended in any way! hahaha And when i read that text my sister sent me, i can imagine my bro-in-law chuckling and laughing away and making silly jokes out of it! LOL! hahahaha Oh God! I miss them so much! I wish i was there to join in the laughter!!! Hahahahaha!!

Vday...

Why do we make such a big fuss about Vday? It's pathetic that we have to have one whole day to show our love!! Can't we celebrate love everyday instead of just Feb 14? And the Singles who mope about being alone on Vday...Why don't they do that everyday instead?? Actually.... being Single (under the age of 30) is not a bad thing! hehe!

Mr. Fat Fingers and i are not going to celebrate Vday cos we are not going to fall into the traps of the evil retailers and what have you out there!

Anyways....

At ihavefatfingers.blogspot.com, Vday is not about being lovey dovey and all cuddley and cute and stuff like that! It's about showing PASSION!!! Yes, "passion" for your (ex) boss...
So i wrote a poem for Dick! Actually i got the idea from Dilbert Blog lah! hahaha! It's so great to see that there are so many people who have so much passion for their bosses! Anyway, here's one.. for Dick!


I call you Dick
Because you love to bootlick!

You think you're Hitler
But you know what? You are a LOSER!

You're in the office whistling all the time
That is such a crime!

You make us do all the work
While you get all the perks!

If you were a president, you'd be George Bush
Just like him, you should be shushed!

You're sprouting nonsense all the time
You'll do better with a mime

And we all know you have a bunion
Because your face is like a pickled onion!

Happy Valentine's Day, you *bald hairy man
You're better off, being a dustpan!

*Dick is balding.. but has hairy arms..and really long and messy eyebrows!!

Quick Fix Chicken Rice!

I have been craving for chicken rice!!

After reading Ah 9's latest post and seeing pics of my favourite chicken rice stall... i really couldn't stand it no more!

I called Mr. Fat Fingers and told him to remember to buy a chicken in 6 weeks time.. cos i'll be there during Easter! And we have to cook chicken rice!

ANyway, today i couldn't take it no more.. and steamed some chicken... And ate it with the chilli sauce that Mr. Fat Fingers made for me! His chilli sauce is really good ok! Made from chicken stock, lots of ginger, garlic and chillies!

So happy! & i am so looking forward to Easter!! 6 weeks to go!!

Another piece of happy news : I passed my exam! I thought i screwed it up.. but my Assignments helped pull up my marks so i got a pass! And I got a merit and 2 distinctions for the other modules! Yahooo! Happy!!!!!!

There are days...

.... when I feel I am invincible! & I can do anything and everything is possible!!!!

and then there are days where i felt really discouraged.... and i feel I can never accomplish what I want to do...

And then there are days when you felt so discouraged and suddenly something so good happened that the feeling of discouragement disappears almost immediately!

This happened to me two fridays ago. I have never felt so discouraged before... i think.
I couldn't find a job attachment for my job attachment module, the company i went to have an interview with had problems releasing their data to be cos of confidentiality issues... and the lecturer-in-charge of that module is the most boh-chup person I've ever met. He never replies any of the emails we sent him. He can't be found. And when he replies, he said he can't help much and he's compiling a list so I can just pick anyone from the list!!! And the list is not out yet!!! I was quite annoyed! And I don't know why the local students has managed to find it with the help of one of the lecturers and no one informed us, the international students, of any meetings!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr


But never mind. I am having the last laugh!

So 2 fridays ago... i was so depressed and was stressed about finding an attachment. I was about to send another email to that lecturer when suddenly, i received a call. I thought it was the people from the mystery shopping company asking me to do another mystery shopping ASSignment... But it turned out.. the call was from another company who had previously rejected my application! And it was the director who called me! woot! He thinks my CV is interesting and he would love to meet me in London the next Monday! I was so happy! So i booked my train ticket and made my way down to London alone! I've never been to London alone.. i'm always there with Mr. Fat Fingers and he would be the navigator while I just follow hehehe. Anyway, i didn't get lost! The place was easy to find!

So i met the guy whom i shall call Gui Ren (贵人) now.. because i think he is my Gui Ren! He was so nice and enthusiastic! I was so nervous meeting him, i had problems saying the words "toxicity" and "confidentiality!" LOL!!!!

We had a problem with the timing of my internship because I'm at Leeds and they are in London and it would not be feasible for me to travel to and from Leeds. Plus I have to attend my lectures.

I made a suggestion and asked him if it was better if I do the internship after I finish my course instead of doing it for my module. His reaction to that caught me by surprise!! He said NO! He refused to let me do that and insisted I intern for them so that I can get some experience and it would be easier for me to get a job after I finish my course..or I could work for them if things work out for us! Yahoo!

Yeah! And a few days ago, he called and confirmed that he will be offering me the intern position and I will be able to start during my Easter break! Which means I don't have to miss any lessons or do any travelling during term time! Yahoooo!!!! & he rescheduled some projects to coincide with my Easter break just so I can work on them!!
And i will be paid £6.50 for lunch everyday! hahaha! Oh and I don't have to spend money on accomodation cos I can stay with Mr. Fat Fingers!! And i think the co. will reimburse my travel costs too! If i remember correctly!

I think Gui Ren is really nice!!! And I don't see any Dick qualities in him! So i think I will have a great time working for him and with the people there!! & I hope i will enjoy working on the projects too!

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
