MacDonalds, KFC and Burger King, what do they have in common? Well for one, they have decent fast food. For two, they constantly
host one or two students hogging more than the required number of tables needed for having a fast food meal. That is, using simple maths, up to two persons should only take one table, one seating across the other. However, in this case, two persons take up six persons worth of tables, around three to be exact, just to study. When has these established fast food joints become study areas or libraries? Today, while eating with
v and
sy at Macs, there were these two female students, from the apparently best Junior College in Singapore, holding three tables. One for their bags, one for their notes, and one for them to gossip. Yes gossip, not study.
And on my right,
sy's left, and
v's front, there are two office workers hogging two tables, one each, with a laptop sitting right smack in front of their faces. C'mon man... We had to resort to one table, sharing amongst three people! Disgusted. Utterly disgusted.
Today also marks the end of the four-day consecutive remedials we are having. Chinese on the first two days, Maths on Wednesday and Sciences on Thursday, which is today. We had to take a full Physics paper today, that lasted 2 hours, and after that, taking a Chemistry quiz that only had two pages, pretty much in stark contrast to the former test. That only lasted around 30 minutes. See the differing intensities?
I am just laughing after watching the highlights of the PSV-Tottenham and Everton-Fiorentina UEFA Cup matches. Tottenham should have really gone through via the penalties, after their main man, Dimitar Berbatov volleyed home a magnificent aggregate equaliser. With the penalty scores at 4-4 and with Jermaine Jenas the last permitted taker, he was too casual and slotted his kick high but with little power, and the ever-chanting goalkeeper Gomes saved it. Pascal Chimbonda missed his in sudden death, leaving PSV to go through, and me, laughing at Jenas' calmness. Too calm, shall we say? I feel quite good seeing Everton lose out on penalties. Granted they got back from a 2-0 down aggregate to level 2-2 at Goodison Park. But look at it, would you want a team like Everton in the Champions League? You'd probably see them lose out to teams like Schalke, Fenerbache, FC Porto or Marseille. Please, keep them in the UEFA Cup.
P.S. The Champions League quarter final draw is tomorrow night,
sy. And Happy 16th Birthday to you,
boss!
Lol...
Bye~!
