AnSwEr...

It's been a mugging week. Tonnes of notes to plough through. Anyway this the answer for the bus-stop question:

You pass the key to your friend, ask him to drive the old woman to the hospital, then he go home himself. (since old fren, won't cheat your car right). Then you stay back and wait for the bus with your dream guy/girl.

This was an job interview question (in the states i think). Only 1 person out of the 200 interviewd gave this answer.

Back to books.

oLd eMaiLs IV...

Here's cancer.

Cancer [June 21 - July 21]

Considering how charming, caring, and kind you are, you dislike unpleasant scenes, much less creating one yourself. You have great tolerance and rarely get provoked into losing your temper. If someone is unreasonable or trying to create trouble, you are more likely to walk away quietly. But that does not mean you do not have a temper. When angry, in your effort to control your emotions, you tremble, your hands get sweaty, and sometimes you fumble for words. Tears roll down your eyes easily and the opponent is touched by your innocence and will seek an apology immediately.

oLd eMaiLs III...

Here's more...

Aries [March 21 - April 20]

Nothing seems to ruffle you more than a lack of discipline, disloyalty and decorum. But Arians are also known to go into a rage very easily when challenged. Those of you who have been on the receiving end of the Aries temper know that if not calmed down they can even get violent. But one thing is certain if the opponent remains calm and does not react to their outburst, Arians cool down very fast.They are also the first to apologize, which makes them easier to forgive.

Sagittarius [November 22 - December 20]

You are insensible and generally have no complete control over your emotions. You do get angry quickly and others marvel at your anger levels even when provoked. Actually, you get tongue-tied when angry and you will remove your anger waiting for the other person to calm down. Then you will reason with your opponent and convince the other person in a very gentle manner that the whole thing was just his mistake. You're also likely to totally sever ties with someone when you're upset with them.

Aquarius [January 20 - February 18]

You are noble and kind and dislike losing control over your emotions. It is very rare for you to get angry. You are also the pacifier in situations that involve arguments. It is always your endeavour to be perfect and socially correct in your behaviour and attitude, but if misunderstood and slighted you can give in to an angry outburst. You will shout and scream and then walk out from the scene. You cannot easily forget the situation and will be bitter about it for a long time

oLd eMaiLs II...

Question:

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night when you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die;

2. An old friend who once saved your life;

3. The perfect man (or woman) you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?

What would be your answer?? I'll post the "model" answer soon. Meanwhile, think about it. For those who have read this before, don't be spoiler ya.. Thx.

oLd eMaiLs I...

How bad is your temper according to your horoscope? I found mine to be quite true. 80% accuracy. I only listed some of my friends zodiac signs cuz I'm juz too lazy to edit the original email. If you want a particular zodiac sign, come tag me.

Virgo [August 22 - September 21]

Most of you are gentle and have full control over your emotions, but those of you given to temper tantrums can certainly get violent. When see thing with rage, you yell and shout and tend to break things lying close at hand You can even harm yourself by banging your hands on a glass top table or wall. You should never get into any argument, for you are a sore loser. You feel that others are trying to persecute you and don't quite respect your opinions. When hurt, you can also hold grudges forever.

Gemini [May 21 - June 20]

You are recognised by your cheerful disposition and your jovial nature is not easily susceptible to anger. In fact, you are the best person to have around when there is an ugly scene at a party you can bring the warring factions together quite diplomatically. But when you lose your cool, you yell and scream and will not listen to reason. You must have the last word in a wordy duel. Your capacity to argue aggressively is matched only by your seductive charm.

Pisces [February 19 - March 20]

The only thing that can be said about you dreamers is that you appear even more attractive when angry. You are very sensitive to others' feelings, so you rarely hurt them. But when others tend to hurt you, then things take a nasty turn. You will yell and use harsh words, and feel inclined to shake everything and everyone up. Your creative imagery is at its best when angry, and you tend to get pretty dramatic. When upset, you refuse to listen to reason and wish to be left alone. But once you calm down, you repent your tantrums and seek forgiveness. So nobody can be upset with you for too long.

Capricorn [December 21 - January 19]

Few will believe that a hardcore practical and materialistic person like you is capable of sensitivity and genuine emotions. You project a hard exterior but are actually very sensitive, a trait you successfully hide from others. u can be seething with anger but will not betray your feelings. But then, there are times that even you cannot control your temper. Under such circumstances you can shout and scream, more with frustration at the situation than with anger at any particular person. Your outbursts can shock others and can make them feel guilty too.

Leo [July 22 - August 21]

If anyone has total control over their emotions, it is you. But then, you can be described as stiff, cold and uncaring. You are known to lack spontaneity but you really don't care about opinions. You don't like to create scenes and will never accept invitations to a party where you suspect the presence of an unruly lot. But your very presence seems challenging to some and they take vicarious pleasure in your disquiet When angry you can use very critical language. A dressing-down can humiliate your opponent, causing a strain between both of you forever.

SiNgApOrEaNs...

Lessons ended at 5.45pm. As usual, I took bus A1 to central library bus-stop then cross the road and walk a further 100 m to the 96 bus-stop.. no.. not the central library bus-stop, the crowd is atrocious. So there I was waiting for my bus 96. One came after a few minutes, and to my dismay, was pretty full. Still I boarded it hoping to snatch a seat somehow. As I was walking to board the bus, the girl breezed in front of me and boarded the bus before me. She got a seat. I didn't. And I remain standing for the whole journey because the passengers were glued to their seats like flies on fly-paper.

Finally reached Clementi after a long ride. Alighted and headed for the MRT station. Being the good citizen I am, I walked towards the end of the station. Alas, when the train arrived, it was packed! I exclaimed in my head: What's wrong with these people today, all going home at the same time! But anyhow I managed to squeeze into the train and head for Jurong East. I thought, my luck would be better.

I was half right...

The train to woodlands came and I boarded it. There wasn't much competition since one train just left 1 minute ago. I easily got a seat. Yay! But I noticed that no one was actually rushing for seats! Weird. There was even an empty seat beside me. I didn't really bother about this and went to read the New Paper. Unfortunately my luck ran out once more. After about 10 minutes or so, I heard the following: "Ding dong!, Yew Tee! This train is terminating at Yew Tee! All passengers please alight....." I sighed.. ok at least it explains why there are so few passengers on board.

Finally reached woodlands. I alighted and exited from the station. Went to the DBS bank to cash in some money. Ok.. so I walked a short distance and saw the same queue as usual. So I joined the queue waiting for my turn. I noticed that the PASSBOOK UPDATE machine was not in use. Or so I thought.

I was waiting patiently for my turn when I realised that there were TWO people in front of me using the CASH DEPOSIT machine to UPDATE their passbook! This is so darn STUPID! Don't they know how to READ?! Or they probably don't know how to INSERT a BOOK into the damm HOLE! IDIOT! Holding up the bloody queue. If it was one person, its still okie. But its god damm TWO! and they dun look like those ah-ma or ah-gong. Singaporeans are seriously myopic. Maybe they should have sign that reads:

WARNING! PLEASE GO HERE TO UPDATE YOUR PASSBOOK! DO NOT USE TO THE CASH DEPOSIT MACHINE! FINE $10,000.

But I believe that fines won't work. Singaporeans are singaporeans. They are used to threats from signboards. Sigh..
