Disabled parking out of reach
It's amazing to see the disabled parking lot in SimTech always occupied by different cars on different days of the week. Correct me if I'm cock-eyed, but I don't see any handicapped parking labels on those cars. Well, I sincerely hope it is because these people have taken turns to ferry a wheelchair-bounded colleague to work... and not because they think their cars are bigger and more expensive than the others and thus needed an exclusive or larger than normal parking lot. Hmm, or perhaps there are just too few disabled parking lots for too many handicaps working there (sarcasm intended). I just hope it's not because of a handful of irresponsible jerks who do not welcome any visits by anyone in wheelchair.
Betting on zero goal
Zero goal usually have a higher returns if I'm not wrong. However, if you intend to watch a match, my advice is "Don't bet on zero goal". It's so stupid to be watching a game and praying for lousy strikers who could never find the net and good defenders and sharp goalkeeper to keep balls out of the net.
"eh eh eh... Phew, lucky no goal"
"no no no... wah, heng ah, this keeper/defender good man"
"kelong striker... but I like it"
Another reason is, once any one side conceded a goal, you can tear away your betting slip and switched off the tv... and sometimes it can really be fast (one goal after a mere few minutes into the game). Be like me, just enjoy the game and don't bet. Btw, I realize I can watch all live matches for free, courtesy of Indonesia's SCTV - thks thks... ah boy is the happiest of all (school holiday implies he can watch any matches he wishes to).
Ban smoking
I just love the gahmen for extending the smoking ban to all food outlets come 1st July. Woohoo... *clap hands*
Over here at this stupid campus, it is also supposed to be smoke free...
To protect non-smokers from second-hand tobacco smoke, smoking is prohibited at all enclosed or air-conditioned buildings, halls of residence, canteens, cafes, lecture theaters, sports and recreation premises, stairwells, and washrooms in the university. Smoking is also prohibited at any queue of two or more persons in a public place such as a bus stop. Any person caught smoking at these areas can be fined up to S$1,000 by law.
... but somehow we have a handful of stinkers here who choose to smoke inside the poorly ventilated staircase. Maybe they find it a waste to discard the aromatic second-hand smoke and decided to recycle by inhaling them again. It's actually none of my business if they so choose to kill themselves faster but when I'm the user of that staircase, I will make sure no one smokes inside there.
The staff working here must have been excellently trained in 're-arrowing' (experience tells me so). So efficent that a letter I wrote to feedback this problem to the relevant person-in-charge gets re-directed somewhat to the person-in-charge of "cleanliness" who then re-direct the arrow to the cleaners by notifying me that they will get them to clean up the ashes left behind by those morons. What the fish!
