Thoughts

Just some thoughts after spying and looking through Facebook and see that school hall as in you know staying in school hostels seemed kind of cool. Like posting your room mate's secrets on Facebook etc and rumors and gossiping. Seemed like so fun and enjoying life.

Well, for now, I already way past that age already. That seemed kind of sad. I'm going to another stage of life. Learning how to survive, learning how to handle people and communicate to people.

Been walking on the streets for the couple of months and I was wondering if I have grown old or what. The kids or youngsters on the streets seemed so young, younger than me. I feel so old or matured all of the sudden. Oh my goodness, is it part of life? Have I aged? Or I just looked at things differently?

I still trying to get out of my comfort zone. I need to try harder in fact. I don't approach to people to talk or start off with a conversation, most of the times are people approach me. Well, I need to learn to approach people and start off an topic. You can do it! =]

Have I told you that my weekly tuition is on Wed? Anyway, I had my second lesson yesterday. The student asked me lots of questions about my personal stuffs. And I kind of tricked him. Sometimes, I feel that dealing with kids, he is going to secondary two by the way so that makes him still a kid, make me more at ease than dealing with adults. Maybe is because they tell you directly what they don't like or like or give you more genuine replies or reactions. Adults, the words they used or said, sometimes, you need to read between the lines or sometimes, you can't even catch they trying to say or trying to mean. Sometimes, what they said can mean opposite meanings totally. Why are they so complex? This is giving me headache. Oh my goodness!

Is it just me who think this way? Am I thinking too much?

After my tuition, I had a great catch up with Jing Yi at NEX. It is a new shopping mall at Serangoon MRT. Lots of shops. More for commoners I would say as compared to Ion. What I mean is ION is for more the high status people I feel whereas NEX is more average Singaporeans I feel. I didn't see much of clothes shops but I do see lots of gifts shops and Korean cosmetics shops and quite a number of fast food restaurants. NTUC Extra which is 24/7. More restaurants are opening up.

We ate or rather I ate and she watched me ate at roaster chicken. She did ordered potato wedges and we both think it was nice! I ordered two piece chicken meal. It was quite fattening to eat at night and especially these! Whatever, please don't remind me. The meal came with a very small cup of drink but refillable, fries & coleslaw. Apparently they don't have Milo, that is pretty sad. Their fries finishes so they changed to marsh potatoes for me. The chickens are crispy and nice. marsh potatoes is covered with cheese. Delicious! Two piece chicken meal cost $6.90. Well, it seems pretty affordable I guess as it is the standard price already for a set of meal in a fast food restaurant.

If I'm going to franchise a fast food restaurant. It must have Milo. =) If I'm going to franchise it will be Subway! My favorite but they don't have Milo also! Although it is not as expensive as Mac Donald. But it requires franchise fee of US $12 500. Wow! Maybe a few years.

Seemed like a couple of fast food restaurants are coming into Singapore to take over the KFC chicken market. Like the Texas Chicken which I didn't try, Roaster Chicken that I ate last night, Wendy which I yet to try due to multiple criticisms on it but I will try it one day (hopefully it will not disappear), Popeye which is also not bad I feel. But still! My heart goes to KFC because KFC grows up with me. Got feelings. It is a place where my parents bring my brother and I out on a weekend to dine out. It's Finger linkin' good! And I personally respect Colonel Harland Sanders, the founder of KFC after hearing how he actually let his chicken recipe made known. Again, he has a vision that he worked towards it that his chicken recipe will be well-known one day. And he made it.

Okay, after so much, shall go back to my study already!

See ya!

Sam =)
