Exams are over. Yes they are over. Hurray. hmmmm......... Actually the hype is not living up to expectations. For the past weeks it's the usual horrible exam preparations and taking the exams, wishing that they would finish tomorrow and now that it's over.. so what?

I've been blog surfing again. Clicking on the 'Next Blog' link on top of the blogspot bar. Came across advertising 'blogs', a series of entries with links to whatever the site is advertising, porn blogs, news commentary blogs and personal blogs. I only bothered to stop and read singaporean blogs. It seems that singaporeans only create personal blogs, unlike some other people around the world who really want to speak up and offer commentaries on the news, politics and sports around them. (See related posting on Capn Intrepid's blog here)

One thing about singaporean bloggers... MANY are really young kids.. boys and girls, 13-16. One 13-yr old girl's blog entries are all in shortform Singlish. Something like "2dae i wen 2 skl n ...." can't remember liao.. almost looked like some other language to me, damn difficult to read lah.

Kids will just be kids, live revolves around school, the pretty girl and the yandao guy in class, the guy who asked me out that day, the girl whom i tried to date that time, i'm fat/skinny/ugly/pretty/cute/pissed off with the world.

Then I also found this young lady's blog, she's taking some level 5000 Econs module, presumably in NUS. Somewhere 2/3 down her very very long list of displayed blog entries was a transcript of her friend mumbling to her over the phone abt making out with another gal-pal after a drunk nite at mohmd sultan.. haha.. quite funny.

Read another blog (non-singaporean) and the blogger related a funny incident that's a parellel to men going to the supermart to buy pads.

"I went into our local "Borders" bookstore yesterday after work. My friend had told me about a specific book that she spotted on her last visit there. She told me that it was right in front as you entered the store." She couldn't find the book and a friendly staff member of Borders (male) came to ask if he could help her find her book. She tried to convince him that she was fine by herself but he insisted and then she told him she was looking for 'Ten Signs That Your Boyfriend is Cheating'.

"He takes me back to the customer service desk and approaches two more gentlemen, 'Can you guys help us look up a book titled 'Ten Signs That Your Boyfriend is Cheating?'
I swear he must have been speaking into a microphone. He was a good 10 paces from the counter when he shouted out his request. Now the other two gentlemen are looking at me with great interest."

The book was found but feeling extremely embarrassed, she walked around the bookstore awhile more and decided not to buy the book but a comedy DVD instead. She goes to pay for her purchase and it's the same guy at the cashier now.

'You're not going to buy the book???'
'Well, no...I'm sorry....I saw you up here and knew you were going to ask me why...I just....well....It just wasn't what I thought it was...'
'So, do you think your man is cheating on you?'
'Yeah, kindof.'
'Does that book tell you how to catch him?'
'Yeah, sortof....but I don’t really need to catch him.'
The line is backed up a bit as interested customers listen in...

She then decides to say a big bunch of crap to try and make the situation less embarassing.

'Well, it's just that.....the book tells you how to get over the other woman....I need help getting over other women, other men, drag queens, transsexuals, sheep and gerbils.'
His jaw drops and he shakes his head. I start to giggle watching his dreadlocks swing back and forth.
'I don't know why I'm laughing....it's really awful....I just can't help laughing....there is really nothing I can do about the whole thing but laugh...and... well....tell perfect strangers about it.'

Lol..
