Jacq has no life

I need to break out of this routine after the last paper badly!!!

While other ppl of my age do things like:

Shopping, credit card-ing, K-ing, pooling, travelling, watch movies, go cheong, dating, K drama serial-ing, socialising, religion-ing, investing, marrying etc

Jacq goes home/sch faithfully after work... market-ing with mum during weekends or chewing readings after readings like a geek (or am one), derive cheap thrills by irritating her 9yrold sister and commit social sucide by making remarks so tat frens (those remaining) get pissed with her, with mutiple body pains/aches like a old granny and with lackadaisical attitude about image.

How great... seriously need a life.

need to recharge... running out of energy for the last 2 papers... How!!

Ridikulus

is my conclusion of this world...

had this discussion with a friend over msn today...

Pure singaporeans are overwhelmed by foreign-born in our own land...
govt pay foreigners to study here & they jump ship for green card, if not bring their entire kampung here n behave like they owned the place
These 'policies' was made to sounnd right when implemented but look at it closely... something is wrong somewhere..

going further down to personal level.. i find it quite absurb when

a friend of 10 yrs who earn twice your payroll, own several credit cards (not equivalent to very rich, but higher rate of fast cashflow), travel (or try to) few times in a year, spent close to $200 on few-mth-bf's birthday, splurging on shoes & clothes sometimes, take cabs on personal errands ask you to bank transfer $30 for pedi package instalment cos her card has began deducting while she may meet you in 2 week's time?!
I'm not gek-gao-ing about the $. if u know me, u know me. i'm quite chin-cai when it comes to $ on friends. It is the attitude. cln't believe my eyes lor.

这不是三言两语就能说清我心中的纳闷，很失望。。。
也许，人类的自我中心就是那么重。我也不外吧。。。。。。
只重视对自己有直接利益的人和事。。。但是你能肯定那时对的吗？！
说到这，又不禁叹了口气 。。。
做人吗。。。得失心不要看得太重， 会得不偿失。

不要曲解我，我的语气是很心平气和的。我对事情的了解可能有误，也没有对或错， 只是有感而发。

不是对这个世界有怨言，是这个世界让我有怨言。

email

Out of nowhere, XXXXX email me this just bcoz a blur queen email him instead of me regarding some sch stuff, which i had emailed to the whole class. I was doing them a favour.

Please go handle this thing yourself! Please reply to those who are interested.

wahtever he meant, So freaking rude! If he thought I would just accept this silently, he is so wrong. After kpkb-ing to many ppl, i was finally calmed down around evening time to reply.

XXXXX,

Thanks for taking the trouble to forward those emails though I'm rather appalled by your choice of words & punctuation mark.
It doesn't reflect very well on you really and I'm rather surprised that you actually cc everyone this.
People do get confused sometimes, you have to be a bit more forgiving than this.
You also have to understand that it is beyond my control to whether they click "reply all" or "reply GLENN".
Regrettably, this mail will take up some capacity of your inbox.

PS: I cc everyne this cos' I believe they need and will be interested to know the class rep's fastidious email preference.

To everyone else:

Hi all! Please check your 'send to' list carefully next time. Thank you very much. =)
Refrain from emailing irrelevant stuff to Glenn, unless otherwise absolutely necessary. He seems to get pretty upset over it.

Best regards,

Jacq (",)

His reply:

Jac
Whatever that please you, i have no comment. Great choice of words and nice font size you using. I could not have done better.

Seriously, I didn't expect him to reply. Didn't he just commented?! haha!
What was interesting was the replies from other ppl who sense the 'fire' from our exchange, as they were all CC. A few (girls) sms me before i replied which more or less summed up to - "wahlau Jacq, u saw tt email?! Shoot him back"

A few others (guys) replied after my reply, " Relax. Maybe some misunderstanding. we going to be classmates for 2yrs. never mind lah"

Seems like some gender war. As trival as this seems to be now, it was a different story at that moment in time.

1stly, I aldy buay-song with him for quite some time. His overly high profileness which he eagerly seeks and the way he kept disrupting the lesson momentum, I tolerated. I had actually shunned him to avoid direct conflict.
(What must happen, will happen i guess. at least in a milder form)

2ndly, it was only ONE mis-mailed. Must he get so worked up?! He sounded like the whole world owes him or I've been burdening him. hello, even my bosses (past & present) don't snap at me like that.

3rdly, he abused his position as a class rep to flood everyone's email with irrelevant stuff, which he tot was a friendly gesture. Nobody complain.

I believe he has the capability to express his thoughts in a nicer manner, if not he badly need to attend some email writing etiquette class.

he thought that was worse, my 1st draft was even more nasty & i can go on & on. Words like dumbass, harebrained, wimp, loser & !@#$% kept flashing in my mind.

N remarked that 你很厉害leh，他1句，你顶这么多！I find it quite hilarious after that actually.

Lesson learnt: 老虎不发威，你当我是病猫！ I kept quiet in class doesn't mean I'm mute, ok!

Like every other, there's always both sides to a story. I don't denied that I acted upon the situation on impulse & very subjectively, but i felt that something has to be done to set the record straight. Stubborn, some may called this. I regard this as an femininity element from IJ times. U never know, Mag Low & Jo Teo might be proud of this. Haha!

postscript: I didn't really take this to heart after venting out, as usual, write & forget.
He, on the other hand, was so childish that he actually sms my sitting partner when we were in the same classroom, 1 table apart. Goodness lor... he is ard 30yrs.

It is my character flaw that I do not hesitate when it comes to any social sucide. Nothing to lose, nothing to gain, i think. You either hate me or love me =p
