I was rather horrified to discover a photo of me from facebook on the powerpoint thingy during the accountancy graduation ceremony. Apparently after so many years of uni, someone still hasn't grasped the meaning of copyright or at least to politely ask if the photo can be used. I was miffed that someone just took that photo off facebook without permission.

In future, if you want a photo in which you are not tagged, please ask for permission before ripping it. And granted that if you have a friend relationship with me on facebook, to take the photos without asking would be even worse because that's taking whatever relationship we have for granted.

today i went to collect my gown. $230. $60 rental, the rest were deposit. Photo package is $250 to be discussed with my parents.

At the counter, pressured to give senior class gift. Heard woman trying to convince master student (since they richer): their gpa could be 3.5 but actally can be 4.0 except they have to work to cover cost so this is what class gift is for! To help them achieve so much more!

1) they are only going to offer the class gift to people with GPA with 3.5? What has this got to do with financially needy?
2) Achieving so much more means a GPA of 4.0?
3) At a GPA of 3.5 plus work, I doubt that these people are not achieving anything. the grades allow them to get into most companies plus the amount they work is impressive to interviewer in terms of stress and time management.

After hearing that, i seriously doubt that I want to contribute. At least if I want to make sure the money goes some where, I would look at financially needy first before looking at their grades. I was thinking that if someone have a GPA of 2.8 and compared to someone with a GPA of 3.5, and both need the money, the poor person with a GPA of 2.8 is automatically out although that person is the one who really needs help in school fees to stop work and go study.

Thus, i told the person that I was currently not working, expected to earn a below average salary going by their annual smu survey and considering that my parents still dao tie these few months, i really dun think I want to donate now. Considering the school has so many bursaries from foundations, I will just donate some money to foundations which take care of the financially needy before GPA first.

Yes, sadly the parents are still dao tieing. They offered to pay for my one way air ticket there or if return is just a little bit more, i may get a return and pay more for date change so that coming back dun need to pay so much.

yet again, a repeat of the same incident in the previous post except now it takes place at 3 am. A leopard never changes its spots. Although I prefer the one about the dog cannot change its habit of eating shit.

Now my mum is asking me why I even bother to trust the stupid one. something must be wrong with the circuit in my head tonight.

Yet another stupid action

In yet another repeat situation, the whole family is sitting up waiting. And sometimes, I wonder why so hard to tell the truth? want to go out eat, just say go out and eat then the parents will be unhappy but at least they know what is going on.

Lie about going downstairs and then went out to eat instead and to have the parent going downstairs instead to find out the truth, and oh well, that is just stupidity in action again. Cuz the reaction is just rage when she dun know what is going on and try to cope. And guess who gets the brunt. The dad and me, for not voicing out our thoughts on this kind of action. What am I suppose to say? I have learnt long ago that playing music to a cow works better (i did touch lots of cows in switzerland). It's a major incentive to get out of home quick and not have to be blamed for things just cause I am actually at home but not speaking up. I am sorry but I rather speak up for things that are worth it. Like telling calvin why I dun want kids. I can't understand why calvin would still want to have kids after i tell him numerous things like these. It's like asking to be punished for some crime that you know that you are not to be blamed for. And yes, lasik cost the same as tube cutting surgery. Which is why I am saving up hard for tube cutting surgery. You all can come and sign congratulations on my tummy once it is done.

Actually i think it is time that my parents face up to the truth on serial lying going on in the house.
