So did they get the idea from the Tiger Beer’s catchy jingle of ‘What time is it?‘

But ultimately, I think the ‘Who is Adam King ?‘ ad campaign is much more tasteless.

I’m still undecided whether to go for advertising or writing for my internship. I wanted to apply for a some companies a few weeks back but somehow my heart says no. I trust my intuition a lot these days. So I guess I’ll wait for Mr Ang’s recommendation then.

Sheesh… the thought of going for internships is fun but scary. I wanna get a good company but not do sai-kang work; have good friends but not those who’ll adopt office politics and backstab me; have a good time but at the same time not compromising my work.

After all, my internship is worth 17 CREDIT POINTS yo! Can you imagine the consequences if I get less than an A?

I can’t have the best of all worlds but I’ll pray hard that I’ll get through it in one piece and with a smile on my face. Insya allah.

Lately, in the wake of the GST hike to 7%, the Committee Against Profiteering (CAP) has uncovered the first case of GST profiteering. Tsk, what an apt name for a committee. Put a cap on the GST increase lah!

Anyway, apparently the fees of this particular centre rose by $10 - from $260 to $270 - due to the GST hike. Do your maths and it is definitely not a 2% percent increase. Thus the complain, and the eventually uncovering of the hidden truth.

In the patriotic month of August, I ALSO WANNA COMPLAIN!

The cost a plate of chicken briyani in FC6 has gone up from $2.50 to $2.70 to $3 in a space of 2 weeks! Fyi, 2% of $2.50 is just… $0.05.

Yes, 5 cents. You saw it first here at www.fitree.wordpress.com

And the case of the Mediterranean stall is classic. Even without any GST hike, the prices seem to rise and fall like a stock market. It’s worst now with the ongoing hike.

The other day, Wantong bought a plate of spaghetti + cheese hotdog + chicken and it costs $3.50! It was just under $3 just a week ago!

*sigh* Just my 2 cents worth here. No, make that 5 cents. GST increase 2% already leh!

Btw, any other FCs in SP facing this similar farce?

There has been much controversy about SPUNK lately but in my humble opinion, it’s all just a case of over-reacting and over-hyped.

As you can see what SPUNK is, can you see what it really means? In fulfilling whoever’s wish to fuse SP and FUNK together, it has also managed to put together British slang which meant semen (read: men’s ejaculation). I thought it’d undergo tight scrutiny which will eventually lead to a change in the name.

And scrutinised it was but changed it wasn’t. Surprising but I thought it was nice for a fresh change. After all, SP has always been perceived as ‘old-fashioned, boring and not happening’. Right NP, TP, RP and NYP students?

But I don’t get it why SPUNK came into the (bad) limelight only after they pasted this poster all over school as their teaser campaign:

SPUNK, the cum shot, the words IT’S CUMMING. Get the chain-link?

I think it’s a very good design and concept by the design people (Hakim, Clarisse, etc? Great job guys!). I mean if SPUNK was approved then why get this poster under the microscope?

I know being so controversial is not THE way to be hip, cool and happening. But at least it’s leading to that path. Even the word ‘CUMMING’ in the poster has to be pasted over with a ‘CENSORED’ sticker now. You mean polytechnic students are so naive nowadays not to know what ‘cum’ actually mean?

SP Corp Comm people, I know you guys scan through blogs and whathaveyous and if you happen to read this, please convey this piece of my mind to the relevant people…

CUT SOME SLACK SP.

Can you guess where I am?

I think Poh Ying was studying PRMP for too long that she became paranoid about the paper.

Me: Eh you know the rates for Sakae lunch buffet or not?
Poh Ying: It should be above $10 and below $20 bahh.. why? The rates are tested for PRMP ah?
Me: No lahh.. I just wanna know because I going there. What lahh you..

But then again knowing Poh Ying for nearly 2 years now, I know she was pulling my leg. And NOT LITERALLY.

But hooray!!! All papers are done with and today pretty much wraps up Year 2 in SP for me. Pheww! 1 more year and I’ll no longer recognize my mates by their funky hairdos.

Anyway, Andy SMS-ed me today. I know it’s normal but it really isn’t till he told me that an excerpt of my blog has been published in Digital Life! Of course I was shocked lahh! So I got a copy of the Straits Times, pulled out Digital Life, flipped till I reached page 15 and TAADAAHHH!!!

Holy shit!

I thought they had infringed the copyright rule but it turned out to be that the excerpt wasn’t a substantial part of my blog. Oh shut up, MLE.

By the way, thanks Herwan for lending me Prison Break Season 2. Now I am addicted to it, just like Season 1. I love Scofield. The director. And I guess… Dr Sara too.
