I realize I am losing my patience and tolerance for the overly-cautious and the overly-impatient drivers the more I hit the roads.

The overly-cautious would bring their vehicles to a minimum low speed of 20-30kmh on a road that was constructed and meant for speeds of at least 40kmh. They get so worried that their brakes are depleted when they approach the humps, or their absorbers get worn out the second they hit an uneven road, or something would happen to their tyres if they go beyond 30kmh. They psycho-ed themselves to imagine that they are only 1cm away from the neighbouring vehicles and take a millenium to reverse their vehicle out of the parking lot. In reality, space is ample and there is at least 1.5feet on each side. To make matters worse, they always manage to position themselves before my Kancil everytime when my time is limiting and I'm in a big rush.

The overly-impatient are at the opposite end of the spectrum but still drives me up the same wall. They like to position their vehicles - usually colourful, fanciful and vroom-vroom - right beside mine and blocking my vision of the main road completely when both of us are trying to make an exit to the same road. They are the same people who sound their horns right behind my Kancil, in a hot summer afternoon, nearly deafening me, when everybody is trapped in a messy traffic jam. And their favourite past-time is to accelerate when the vehicle in front aka my Kancil is slowing down. Hallo excuse me are you that colour blind to NOT see my RED brake lights? And to add to the cheap thrill they have to screech to a halt less than a foot away from my Kancil. Mind you, it isn't a very pleasant sight from your rear mirror.

Here's a little something I can see from my computer table:

一生都是命安排 求什么
今日不知名日事 愁什么
岂可人无得运时 急什么
人世难逢开口笑 苦什么
补破遮寒暖即休 霸什么
前任田地后人收 占什么
得便宜处失便宜 贪什么
举头三尺有神明 欺什么
荣华富贵眼前花 傲什么
他家富贵前生定 妒什么
前世不修今受苦 怨什么
怨怨相报几时休 结什么
世事如同局一棋 算什么
聪明反被聪明误 巧什么
虚言折尽平生福 谎什么
是非到底见分明 辩什么
穴在人心不在山 谋什么
欺人是祸饶人福 卜什么
一旦无常万事休 忙什么

Hello. Good evening. Have you heard the news yet? Swine flu is on the loose, and now they renamed it H1N1.

Here's a little drama of my life. Life sucks in NUS. Didn't get it? Life S-U-C-K-S in NUS. Of course, I'm talking only about this period. Still, it sucks big time.

It sucks when I am stupid.
It sucks to be in a school with 75% of the population smarter than me.
It sucks when I have 45 minutes before time's up to just STARE at my paper.
It sucks even more when just a day ago I did the same thing, but when I was sitting right there in the middle of that freezer of a hall nothing clicked.
It sucks to finally come to terms with giving up during a paper.
It sucks to feel exactly the same as a paper I did really badly.

In short, I am just stupid. And yes, it SUCKS to be stupid.

I tell you now, I could not do something I could do just ONE day before this. And for this stupidity of mine I effectively submitted only half the paper. And I also tell you now, that I spent the last 45 minutes sitting there staring at everything for inspiration but nothing happened.

So don't ask me how was it. Save those "oh dear" and "you'll do better next time" because I've already had alot and no thanks, there won't be any next time anymore. And don't say "maybe it's not that bad" because it really IS.

Save those half-hearted comments for yourself, it doesn't belong here.
