ONE. Idiots pressing the button (be it for traffic lights or lifts) many times, thinking that would make the process faster.
TWO. Idiots (I don't see the younger generation doing this though) pressing both up AND down buttons for the lift. Imagine this: Someone above you is trying to get the lift. Lift is on the way up to said person. You press both up and down buttons. Lift stops for you. You get in. Lift carries on going up to said person. Door opens, you look like a fool for not getting out. Lift goes down, and THEN it stops again at your level, because you freakin pressed the down button before.
THREE. Inconsiderate Idiots who use the mouse in school for the whole day, then don't bother cleaning their filthy dried up sweat and grime, leaving it for someone else to clean. Case in point, me, having just spent 5 minutes cleaning this filthy mouse someone left behind.
FOUR. Idiots playing music at the highest volume on busses or trains. You're not being cool, Mr/Mrs immature.
FIVE. Idiots shoving their way into the train as people are alighting. See those yellow lines on the ground? Their there for a reason, ass.
SIX. Please burn your hell notes in a bin and not on top of drains or in the middle of walkways, thanks a lot.

A different look on Singapore's HDB living- those corridors which go round each person's house and super low windows. First time I soaked in the surroundings and what it's like to live there, in one many HDB flats around Singapore which are constructed that way.
The ballad of Gay Tony. What an awesome storyline, character design and plot. Makes me rather work in a Rockstar studio than Bungie. The amount of different things you get to create and explore- wow. Gotta say, GTA's character designs are really indepth. My fav characters? Gay Tony (first time I can safely say, SOME gays are cool), and of course, Louis.
On a sad note, I haven't gotten my email. My email which would include details about an interview. I want that interview. I need it. I want to go to Massachusetts.

My beloved
Pencil case. From Australia. A gift. I'll buy the person who finds it lunch. Heck dinner too. Heck both for a week.
Spread the word.
Dum dum.. dum dum
Just a few sips and I can feel the blood pumping in my neck. And it's not even that strong. Alcohol's a good for keeping awake it seems.

BIG NIGHT OUT: MUSE
One post before I go to bed.
Queued at 11am till 6:30pm--> Reason: To get the front row of Pen A.
Reality: I stood at front row for 15 minutes, then went right to the back. But we'll get to that later.
So after finally getting in the gates of Singapore Indoor Stadium, we had to wait another 45 mins or so before the show actually started. Whilst waiting, these bunch of 'sound technicians' were doing well, y'know, sound stuff. Testing, checking etc. Then when the performance started, it was these 'sound technicians' who were actually the band Saosin. I bet almost no one knew that. I hated the performance, honestly. What's up with uber loud drums drowning out all the vocals? Or guitar for that matter.
They finally ended, and we waited another 30 mins or so for somemore 'sound guys' to do sound stuff, in preperation for the next band. Took forever. Anyways, these (not all though) 'sound guys' turned out to be the band Rise Against. I've heard some of their songs before, so I was expecting them to be better. They were. More engaging with the audience, more energetic, to summarise, better performance. Oh before I forget, the reason why I moved to the back after 15 minutes into Saosin. But that deserves a paragraph of its own.
I find pushing and moshing incredibly stupid and retarded. I love music. I pay to hear my favourite bands play music. I queue up so I get a better view of them. I DON'T sacrifice time and money however, to push and get pushed. And not just the a flow with the crowd thing, it's seriously having to continually keep your balance or you'll hit someone real hard. First it was hands up, blocking yourself. Then next it was your whole body in full contact with other people at all sides. And the best part. An angmoh fatass on my left, jumping, shoving his fatass hand in my direction. Oh that's not all. One minute into the concert I could feel his armpit sweat tricking down. W.T.F. So that, coupled with my distaste in music where you can't hear the lyrics, made me move to the back. Ah, peace at last. Enjoying the music 100 percent. The music of Rise Against, by the way.
So Rise Against was good. Then came a 45 minutes wait for Muse's sound technicians to do somemore sound stuff. FINALLY, came Muse. And there's a reason why they have the best live performances ever. Even the opening graphics was full of tension. Then they walked into the stage and everyone became CRAZY, me included. I can think of a few reasons why they stand out. Background graphics and lighting. The set was awesome. Hard to describe in words. Pictures coming up later. Also, they didn't go "Here's the next song, xxx" Instead, they play a riff, and then people are guessing what song's gonna be next. And when you guess correct, you go ecstatic. This angmoh guy hugged his friend when he guessed right. Oh, and you can hear them sing too. Sure, the drums are loud, but the vocals still manage to stand out. That, plus recognisable guitar riffs. And, who doesn't love a singer who plays the guitar, AND piano. That cream coloured piano. Mmmm. Oh, lasers too. And one song after the next, barely any pauses. Total about 18 songs or so. Many from the previous albums (y)
Their final song: My favourite song: Knights of Cydonia. But honestly, when they perform, 'your-favourite-song' goes out the window. Every song becomes your favourite. That good.
So it ended around 11:30pm, and now I'm back home, half deaf. School tmr, I mean later. Sigh.
(And random side note, they were playing this really intense riff? freestyling-thing-before-the-real-song? Then I guessed they were gonna play Hysteria, which first part is really not very intense at all, but very cool. I was right :) Notice they like doing that- some intense sounds, then the real song will be totally different, but the effect is very cool)
And that's it for today. Money well spent, though I was going wtfispentmymoneyonthis? in my mind throughout the first two acts. More of the first act actually. Rise Against was not bad.

MUSE
TODAY! Or more specifically, in about 14 hours time!!!
-----
Was walking home from school when I heard this tsk tsk tsk sound from up high. Now what creature would make tsk tsk tsk sounds continuously as it flies? A bat. I looked up and saw two bats flying about. Now you may wanna knock me on the head and say, "Oi, have you never seen bats before?" Not in the park though. And definitely not hovering that close up ahead. Tsk tsk tsk. Kept hearing that wherever I walked after that.

Oh, did I say MUSE?
