For this afternoon, I was trying hard to memorise alfon trompenaar's cultural dimensions. So hard! Real hard to memorise, seems like my brain has been clogged up.
Met sh and my at city hall, 6.30pm. It was suggested by me that we go Tony Romas for dinner. But I never knew we would end up in swiss culture instead - a restaurant that i've seen at suntec for ages and really longed to dine at for quite some time. Well now that i've had an experience, i doubt i would go back for a second time. the price, 16.80 bucks, doesn't support the quality of the main dish which i ordered, chicken zurich-style. the chicken was prepared in an ordinary style, only that the rosti potato was a little more appetising than the former.
we walked to eng wah cinema where we bought tickets for 'i not stupid too,' and later sat outsider coffeebeans for a chat on further education, since we're soon graduating in less than 22 days. it was so great that the gals can continue studying, while guys will be called up for national service. two years are equivalent to 24 months. if i earn 1.5k per month, that means my opportunity cost turns out to be 36k! wat about work experience? another loss for me sigh.
returning to cinema, i saw my ex-colleague billy, who's also weicai's cousin. but we did not approach him. he's busy anyway with the 'hotdogs.' the thought of warming hotdogs and spreading sauces onto them during my eng wah days irks me! jes and i could find ways to skive standing at the hotdog counters, and lying to customers "sorry, no more sauces" simply because we are lazy to pour them, or to refill the bottles.
the show is full of moral values. not all rotten apples should be discarded away. just slice off the rotten portion and it's still edible. so there is no hopeless students after all. they just need someone to give them chances and to be the lights in their lives to guide them. the show also stresses a strong positive correlation between parental guidance and the outcome of the children. and that parents and teachers should focus more on our children's talents and less on their flaws.
i reached home at 12 midnight. now i'm tired. when i sleep, i die.
