Rambling
Haha, okay, I am on one of my blogging escapades in the school computer lab again. Why? Because I have an early dismissal but no where to go with no one to accompany me. For this reason I shall amuse myself with my good ol blog until Darren decides to come out of his class or when Amanda is done with her weird health check up thing. Hopefully there won’t be any jabs this year; I have something against it, which is probably also why I will never ever put myself up to donating blood. Don’t you think its quite scary, sticking a thick hollow metallic needle into your vein and vacuuming out the contents of your body? Anyway, I am rambling.
I managed to skip Chinese just now to complete my essential question which was due yesterday. However, I was pleasantly not present in school yesterday, so I got like a day extension or something. I realised that my brain is currently (or perhaps all the time) not functioning properly and there seems to be an utter lack of anything remotely interesting to blog about. Sadly, I will have to resign myself to being a bimbo and blogging about the day’s events which happened, yesterday. =.=
Let’s see, I woke up at a pretty lovely time of nine in the morning, instead of the usual 6.30. Had breakfast while surfing the different channels on cable. There was nothing really interesting and I ended up watching Oprah. Haha, it was the best there was, seriously. Unless of course you think Blue’s Clue is better or some retarded show called Dora the Explorer. What are they exposing to kids these days? Come to think of it, it probably wasn’t much better back than when I was younger (I’m still young okay), what with Sesame street, Barney (the infernal purple dinosaur), teletubies and other brain numbing shows which horrifies me whenever I tell myself that I actually watched them once before. Brain washing kids, that’s what they’re trying to do I tell you.
Anyhow, I went to sun tan in my roof garden after that. Haha, no I wasn’t wearing anything that would cause your eyes to burn, I was conservatively dressed in singlet and shorts. I think it was quite a failure judging by the fact that I just perspired a lot and turned slightly redder. Haha, but it was still fun to try.
Showered and had lunch while being in front of the television again. This time, I was watching some documentary about the Hima people of western Uganda. Personally, I’m not really a women rights person and you would probably never catch me at one of those feminist riots holding up posters whilst making animalistic cries.
However, after watching the film, I was totally disgusted at the way the women of the tribe are treated. The poor girl was forced into marrying this guy whom she didn’t even know and he only wanted to marry her because he thought that she was pretty. The bride price? Ten bloody cows? Oh my god, the parents actually traded their daughters for ten bloody cows! The poor girl was saying that once her parents decide that she was going to marry the guy, she couldn’t object. She was forced to drop out of school when she was actually hoping of furthering her studies in college. What’s worse was they had to fatten her up because the men there have fat fetish. The poor girl was forced to drink milk and porridge at time intervals of 7,8,10,11 and 12 in the morning, 1,2 and 5 in the after noon and 6,7,8 and 11 at night! It was insane! The grandmother was sitting there with a stick threatening to beat her if she doesn’t finish whatever she is force-fed. When the poor girl was getting ready to get married, her mother told her to fear her husband and respect him. Sheesh! Fear her husband? Her husband wanted her to put on even more weight after they got married. 200 pounds to be exact. That is just freaking retarded! He is totally disregarding her health and not thinking of the implications of weighing more than 300 pounds!
The show ended just like that, and nothing was done to help the women there. The poor souls. At least the guy got his retribution when two of his cows were killed by lightning. It’s sadistically funny actually.
The show finished just in time for me to get ready to make my way to Tampinese mall where I met Aaron and Cheryl to have a meal at crystal jade. Technically, it was dinner for me. I finally got to try their congee! Haha, after that, Cheryl left while Aaron and I went to NTUC to do some grocery shopping that his mother had entrusted him with. Haha. I totally failed in exerting self control and bought sushi. ><’’ After the longans and nata de co co was bought, we went to Four Leaves to show off our “aunty” skills. There was this promotion going on that said, 5 breads for $2.40. I still have them in my locker, just waiting to be devoured when I get hungry over the next few days.
Oh, it seems that the time just flew by and it is already eleven. I guess I better wrap up. More about the match to be played after I return home. =)
