Recently discovered this amazing truth about wangba: he loves to sun bathe. is this something all terapins love? in the morning when the sunlight pours in he'll crawl towards the sunny side, stand on his 2 muscular legs and lean against the wall of the tank, stretching his neck. doesn't he know that the UV rays will cause his skin to age faster? what's so enjoyable about sun tanning. why does he like to sun tan when he could roll around in those pebbles i arranged for him. so now i can't shut my windows in the morning when i go out so as to allow some sunlight to stream in for him.

It often amuses me to be contantly reminded that the most difficult people on earth are the highly-educated Singaporeans. you know what i'm talking about if you've been in customer service before.

You know it's bad enough that you simply can't follow instructions. let's say you've made some error on your cheque which would cause it to be unbankable. naturally i gotta call you to inform you and for you to amend your mistake.

If you are a foreigner this is what you'll usually say: "oh i'm so sorry for your inconvenience. thanks for your trouble!"

If you are an averagely-educated Singaporean this is what you'll usually say: "ya ok.. thanks."

If you are a highly-eduacated Singaporean this is what you might say: "oh you have no idea how much inconvenience it'll cause me! can you just call up the bank to check if my cheque can be banked in?? it's just a phone call you know??"
Me: "well i'm so sorry that your stupidity has caused you so much inconvenience ma'am. if this kinda cheque can be banked in i won't be wasting my time & saliva talking to you and putting up with your shit right now. bitch."

Of course i didn't say that.

Why do they think that they're always right? Sad cases, them. i'm sure they weren't like that when they were kids. I have to constantly remind myself not to be such people now. tsk.
