Ok, so I've left Singapore at about 11.55am this morning, I'm now in Brunei, at Bandar Seri Bengawan Airport at the transit area with nothing much to do..
I'm in wuzun's hometown!!
hahahaha
Advice from me? Don't stopover so long here, or have a plan if your stopping over for a VERY LONG TIME. Stuck here for about 8hours..until 10pm tonight(was here since 2pm)..There isn't much to do here..apart from a few shops and coffee bean..
It's been quite an eventful visit to Singapore this time round. Will post about it sometime later.
That's all for now!

It's funny how I can't sleep in although I have all the time to do so :/
wake up, can't get to sleep, check around facebook and end up here.

Have not been in Singapore for THAT long(it's been about 4 days and 5 nights now) and already some singaporeans are really beyond belief and are just..disgusting. But first I must have a disclaimer. I'm not being racist because I'm Singaporean myself, born and raised here so I believe I have every right to say something? And it's not only one incident.

Believe it or not, I witnessed one in the first hour I touched down here. Was at some kopitiam at the airport waiting for my cousin and grandma's arrival. Was with my uncle and was drinking grass jelly and I heard this guy(About my age maybe?) Doesn't look like he's working and has a steady income but anyway, he was with an older lady, presumably his mum and throughout the time I was there waiting, his mum would say/ask something and he would just shout at her saying "SHUT UP LUH" or "WHATEVER JUST SHUT UP". Just because you're probably texting your friend? What kind of respect do you show. Who would you be now without your mother? You would be NOTHING to be honest. If you don't have a mother, who would clean up after you? Who will cook for you? Who will pass you money? I bet you're not even working, you're just a student and there you are shouting at your mum like she owes you something. If you didn't realise, you owe your life to her. The lack of basic respect is just astounding. Coming from the same generation as you, I'm ashamed. Yes, I'm ashamed of your behaviour not only because you did it in public.

Second incident was yesterday on the train. A lady carrying an infant walked onto the pretty crowded mrt. Did anyone give up their seat? NO. People, just because your seat doesn't say "reserved seat" doesn't mean you don't have to give up your seat. What's the point of being a first world country and having people who don't have grace OR courtesy to even ask if other people want a seat? All they did was just to pretend that they didn't see until this older lady gave up her seat. These moments you just feel ashamed to be singaporean.

Even in australia, sometimes you just feel SO ashamed to be from the same country.

We went to a koala conservatory centre when my cousin and grandma were there. We went to the toilet after and apparently, my grandma was queuing and some singaporeans just conveniently cut her queue. One woman even waited outside the toilet cubicle waiting to rush in. Since you are not in your own country, shouldn't you people at least learn how to behave properly? You're just showing how rude singaporeans are. As a person from Singapore, having a holiday overseas means your behaviour represents singaporeans. If this is how you want people to interpret Singaporeans behaviour then so be it.  

Last incident I'm going to write about was when we went to see caves(with my grandma and cousin). There was this singaporean family, kids(working generation) with their mother, so their mother wasn't as old as my grandma but still generally older. We were told not to touch any thing inside the caves(like the stalactites and stalagmites - go search them up if you don't know what I'm talking about). Anyway, we can't touch these because our skin secretes oil and these formations are created from the dripping of water droplets(yes, one by one) over millions of years(no exaggeration here). Any oil on these will repel the water and it will stop forming. Well, either because the mother didn't know or her kids didn't inform her, she touched things 3 times in the cave until I almost exploded. She touched a pool of water and 2 formations. HELLO NOT SUPPOSED TO TOUCH THANK YOU. For one, she touched the bottom surface of one so that's the end of that formation there. I have no idea why her kids didn't let her walk in front of them because they obviously didn't see anything and didn't tell her not to touch anything else. Why I didn't stop her? I saw her touching it from a distance. When she touched the last one the tour ended so it's not like I could tell her. She just ruined a natural formation so simple with a touch and I bet she doesn't even know about it up till now.

Singaporeans, just a reminder. Take note of your behaviour in public, especially overseas. People are watching and judging. The world's not only about you. Learn to care for other people and things for the future generations. Show some basic respect to your parents, they are the ones always there for you. You wouldn't be anything without them.

I'm so bored it's almost ridiculous..
I have nothing to do, amazingly, even on the computer. Just stuck on facebook all day with no one to stalk and no interesting news. Not like I can watch any videos because I don't have earpieces to listen, especially korean variety shows. Honestly, I didn't really love korean music, it didn't really appeal to me. Then I started listening to shinee, big bang and 2ne1. Love big bang's music, firstly because they write their own music and the tunes are catchy. Then I watched some shows and their interaction is sooo cute..really admire GD's ability to compose songs.
Want to start on sunshine angel and some other shows but uh..too lazy lolol
It's the weekend, nobody to go out with. Stuck at home with the computer but nothing to do online.
Really weird feeling. Wonder what I'm going to do for the whole of jan and feb..find a job? I also don't know..

Back in singapore. The humidity is killing me..actually need to live in air-con areas><
Did singapore become hotter or did melbourne just become colder..

My grandma is extremely angry that my dad booked a flight for me that has a stopover of 8hours in brunei.
She said that why save money and let a girl wait in a random country for 8hours. Honestly, I understand her reason for being angry but then she can't assume that we have that much money to just throw around everywhere. We don't have what we used to have. The fact that I have flown back twice is already a strain on our resources, and it's not like my future school fees are free. My dad isn't earning as much as he used to and now all the remainder of his salary goes into the house mortgage. My school fees, cost of plane tickets, spending money is all out of my dad's savings. We can't afford to throw money everywhere. Already when my cousin and grandma came over we spent how much money. Bringing them around etc. My dad also took a week's leave in total to bring them out. In total, I believe we spent more than half a thousand dollars. We can't afford to keep spending so much money. It would be nice if she can understand our financial position. In our family, me and david have learned not to ask for anything because we know it will have to come out of our savings. We now, are practically living on savings, and what are we going to do when we run out? Every time I go out I don't dare to spend money carelessly because every cent means something. I can understand that she is very 不放心 and all I ask is that she understands our financial position. She says she wants to scold my dad the next time he calls but seriously, as long as I stay in the airport I'm pretty safe-.- If wuzun can walk around Brunei freely, why can't I walk around the airport? Plane tickets aren't that cheap. Just hope she doesn't actually call my dad and "scold" him..
Now I feel bad for even mentioning the stopover at Brunei to my uncle and then he had to tell my grandma-.- Not that I'm complaining but she didn't really have to know..
