Screwed. Utterly screwed I tell you.
Supposed to start studying for exams today and here I was, rushing to finish up lectures. Listened to a whopping 8 lectures today..but I don't think I retained very much. I have NEVER been able to listen to this many lectures in one day. Desperate times call for desperate measures indeed.
There is a ridiculous amount of content for this semester's exams, I have no idea how I'm going to finish studying it all. There is just so much to study and so much application. Application meaning you have to know everything and when they throw a case study at you, you should be able to comment or suggest something. How in the world..
There isn't even one..simple topic. There used to be one that I wouldn't have to listen to lectures for..like the more common sense, social aspects, but then this term it's so much more. There isn't one that is common sense that I would complain is a waste of time. All of them start out ok and then the second half of the semester, it all just starts going CRAZY. GAHHH stress stress stress
Alright, going to sleep now, more craziness scheduled for tomorrow..wish me luck.

I was wrong.
I am blessed.
Very very very blessed.
And I shall end it at that.
Gloomy weather, stuck at home finishing up tute preparation due tomorrow morning.
Bleh.
Anyway, today's topic.
"And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it me.'"
- Matthew 25:40
Why this topic? Well, I was walking outside melb central with my friend yesterday afternoon and there was this guy who was asking for spare change. It was raining and I was talking to my friend so well..I have to say I ignored him because tbh, I thought he was just taking shelter from the rain. It was only when we walked past him did ask for spare change. Walked past without a word, he said good day and apparently after, he said f*** you(I didn't hear this but my friend did). Thing is, he wasn't dressed terribly, he seemed pretty clean and he wasn't physically disabled. Surely he has the means to find a job so he doesn't have to..in nicer words, ask for spare change on the streets. If he does seem capable of supporting himself, why should I be giving him my spare change right? Spare change or not, money is money. All the money I have in my wallet now is what I have earned from working every Saturday. If I can do it, why can't he? Surely he has the capacity to. And eff me/us? We don't owe him a thing, on what grounds does he have the right to say that for not giving him spare change? Or was it because we didn't "Good day" him back? Is this just the easy way out for him? Yea, I guess we could have said something like Good day to you too back but then who know where that would end up. So in this situation, would I be wrong to just ignore him? In the past, when Jesus walked the Earth, the beggars he told people to treat well were physically disabled and unable to support themselves. They weren't clothed alright or physically able. If they were, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be on the streets. So did that guy deserve the way we treated him? Or was I wrong? Would he be considered a beggar, someone who is physically(and most likely mentally) able to support himself? And should he be treated the same way as someone else who is more in need?
Happy lonely birthday me yay..

Turning 19 on 19 October, yes that's today.
It's a mellow mellow day. Weather is really good, but here I am as usual at work indoors again.
To be honest, I'm actually quite disappointed. Never mind a gift, the number of people who remembered my birthday is..measly. Maybe I'm over thinking but seriously..some people I would expect a happy birthday from have not said a thing to me yet..maybe they really don't know):
Out of my friends in uni, only 1 remembered. There are 6 of us, mine is the last birthday in the year and I'm the youngest. Each of them got a birthday present from all of us..so I'm left out? Or do they just not know): they didn't know last year and I just got well wishes but that's alright. I just thought they would know this year and at least acknowledge it? Not a single squeak from the rest of them so far. Sigh..ironically it is the people furthest away from me physically who are the ones who remembered. Maybe it's just another day after all..): sigh..got work to do so..bear wth it then

Blogging again, this time to complain.
Anyone been to Straits of Malacca Hawthorn? If you haven't don't go. Their Glen Waverely counterparts are much better. Why?
Just got takeaway lunch from the Hawthorn outlet and after this, I am NEVER going back again. Twice already that I got served by some rude girl. Mind you, these were 2 different occasions and 2 different girls, what does this say? Walked in, ordered my lunch and the girl was like "do you mind paying first" in a rude tone. I was holding my wallet phone and work key in my hand plus their super huge menu. You expect me to hold everything and give you money? Freaking take the menu from me! Gave her the menu first and she literally snatched it off and threw it somewhere. HELLO I AM FREAKING PAYING YOU MONEY THAT I WORKED AN HOUR FOR. THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS BE NICE. I don't owe you a freaking thing. Thought I would drop by the supermarket across the road to get something while they're cooking. WHATTHEHECK, went back and had to wait another 10 freaking minutes before it was done. In total I probably waited more or about 15 minutes and this was takeaway-.- Even other customers got served their food first. What, I look young and don't deserve to get served? I have to rush back to work hello. Didn't even get a receipt so I can say that I ordered it. Anyway, when it came, girl asked something and I assumed it was about chilli because that's what they always ask about. I said no, checked my plastic bag and where in the world were my cutlery? AM I EXPECTED TO EAT HOR FUN WITH MY BARE HANDS? Asked the girl for cutlery and she scrunched up her face in an annoyed way and was like WHAT!? And then she finally got what I wanted and scowled. I AM A PAYING CUSTOMER AND THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT ME? So what if I'm not spending $100, any customer is a paying customer. I wasn't even demanding. The way they treat me is as if I'm not paying at all and eating for free or something. Ridiculous? You tell me. NEVER going back. No point having food from a place who doesn't appreciate the business. Absolutely rude staff, quality of food not consistent, it's not like I'm going to miss out on anything much . There is better food being sold ALL AROUND, I don't owe you a thing. Go on to urbanspoon and there you see all the good reviews written by..to be blunt, white people. Friendly staff, good service blah blah. WHERE? And then you see the reviews where people got lousy service by the staff and they are the Malaysians. Most of their business is from Malaysians and Singaporeans, so this is how it's going to be huh? See how long you'll last. STRAITS OF MALACCA HAWTHORN, don't head there, ever. Clearly, they don't really value their business, neither should you.

I seem to have blogging spurts now and then where I blog so frequently and then it dies off for a month or so and then I decide to blog again.
On midsem holidays now, finally. Unfortunately, this holiday is all study and no play for me. Planned to finish catching up with all my lectures by today..of course it wouldn't be done, who am I kidding. Have to get some done tonight if not I really can't sleep tonight. I'm not complaining, after all it's my own fault that I have so many lectures outstanding. Alright, I probably should be started now. Procrastination now isn't going to help that either, might as well get started..
