1200 minutes and 900 texts..

well, the thing about telemarketers is u can't really believe them. after all, they're trying to do their jobs and earn some commission. today, i received a call from some uk phone limited company. well, what is uk phone limited? i've never heard of this mobile phone company. anyway, i decided not to hang up on the guy and let him speak.

"sir, do u have a monthly contract?"

"yes. i do."

"what is the plan? how much does it cost?"

"i pay 25 pounds a month, for 500 anytime minutes and 400 texts."
(actually, i pay about 25 pounds for 200 minutes and 200 texts. i just wanted to get rid of him by stating the impossible contract)

"well, we have a very good deal for you. a free nokia video phone with 1200 anytime minutes and 900 texts plus a 5 pound video calls credit for a price of 22.50 pounds a month!"

siao. no one offers such good deals. in fact, there aren't any deals that are half as good as the fake one i quoted to subtlely reject him.

anyway, i said i'm only 6 months into my 18 months contract and can't quit my current deal for his. he continued by asking if there are any other members in my household who wanted a line. before i could say no, he hung up.

yeah right. 1200 minutes and 900 texts. you think we're in singapore ah.

great london weather

by my usual standards, i should be staying in bed. the weather's gloomy, wet and cool. that's the kind of weather that i thrive and sleep in. i remember the days when it rains in the morning in singapore, before i wake up for 730 school. i hate getting up when the weather's so conducive for sleeping.

but i doubt i can sleep any longer. 3 more papers to go and even though i've kinda given up in spirit, i have to go on. logically. 3 papers is a lot of papers out of 9, as kai mentioned. so, i shall give up my right to sleep in this weather and study as hard as my mind is willing.

buena suerte a todos!

14 Hours to Power

14 hours to power electronics. over 14 hours to voting power. tomorrow, i get to do a power electronics paper and vote for my favourite party.

there's not much energy left in me. exams make me sick. i just wanna go out and play. go to hyde park. go to ethos. go to the cinema. go wherever. except staying at home.

still, the harder i work, the more sick i will feel about exams. the more sian i am with exams, the more pleasure gained next friday this time. and less guilt about not studying. and less regrets when i get my results. the life of a student. the life of a singaporean.

i just realised..

that my blog entries about exams are long and boring. goes to show that exams are long and boring, that the exam period is long and boring.

i'm so restless today. no mood to study at all. rather clean the house with marvin than read my notes or do the past year papers. gotta get my act together. only less than two weeks to end of exams. cannot slack anymore.


i need to find a career that suits my laziness.

a full-time ebayer.


two weeks to valencia.

three weeks to stockholm.

eight weeks to singapore.
