17:25

Was tuned in to 987fm on my way home. This uni student was on air playing a game to win a Pink CD. She was supposed to anwer 3 out of 4 questions correctly. Maths, science, English and social studies. So, first question was Maths, and she totally skewered it!

DJ: What is 5.25pm in 24-hour format?
Girl: Erm..
DJ: (repeats question) What is 5.25pm in 24-hour format? C 'mon, you can do it.
Girl: Erm..
Clock ticking 5 4 3 2 1
DJ: I'm sorry, but it's 17:25. Have you ever seen a clock in 24-hour format?
Girl: Yeah..
DJ: (must be knocking his head on the wall, 'cause I would be too) It's not the end of the world yet. As long as you get the next 3 questions correct. Next question is..

-___-"

Can't believe how unsmart some people can be. I'm being mean, again. Forgive my lack of manners. The irony is, she actually managed to get the other 3 questions right and walk away with the CD. Like how far is the sun from earth. Now, that is something I have no inkling of.

Called 8 agents within 2 hours. Mainly looking at Sengkang and Pasir Ris. Gave them my budget and preferences and let them do the research for me. Heck, I ain't paying you a thousand bugs for nothing. If you want it, earn it. If you don't think you need it, I'm pretty sure some other agent can find good use for that sum of cash.

Have been quite liberal with money. Lets just say I enlightened myself on what role a pile of greenbacks should play in my life. Was quite upset when I lost a hundred or two due to the fall in aussie dollar. Was pissed when I learnt that I have to fork out a thousand to pay off useless people just to rent myself a house. Was pinching every penny I could manage to during the first few months I was here by eating only hawker food and taking buses to work. Was mentally comparing prices and exchanging currencies between SGD and MYR before I made any purchase just so I could convince myself I made a good bargain.

Then again, whatever for?
