Okay, so I'm warning you guys beforehand; this post is kind of like a rant. Well, actually it is a rant.
SO. Today morning I decided to pack my stuff and go to BK to study, like an average Singaporean teenager preparing for the big 'O's. I camped there till about three, and then this lady, the manager I think, came up to me and asked, well, more like demanded, "Excuse me, are you going to buy anything?"
And I said no, and she replied, "Then I'm going to have to ask you to leave. My customers have nowhere to sit, and you're occupying our table." What she said was reasonable, and I agree that it was my fault too, I should've realised it was getting crowded, but what I really didn't like was the way she spoke to me, like I was going to put up a fight.
It was hostile. I mean, I'm fifteen, not five, I get what you're saying, and if you're asking me to leave to make space for your customers, I'd gladly do so, but with that tone of yours, needless to say, I'm leaving for good. Her attitude was completely unnecessary.
Then as I was leaving and two little girls came to occupy the table, their maid gave me a really dirty look, like I'd done something terribly wrong. Woman, is it my fault I can't concentrate on my studies at home and I'm trying to find a place to study for myself?
I'm not hating on the manager or anything; I know it's just her job, but even if you're frazzled, please don't take it out on us students. We may be students now, but who knows where we'll be ten years down the road? Maybe people above you on the social ladder.
I'm so tired of staff everywhere looking at students trying to study like we're the freaking plague, especially if your restaurant is empty and we're just occupying unneeded tables. So it's become our fault that we don't have places to study?
You can give a fish water for it to survive, but you need a tank as well. Everyone expects students to study hard, but what can we do if we don't have conducive environments to study in? Maybe the government could, oh I don't know, stop building malls and start making space for students to stuff facts into their brains in. (I feel like I'm writing a baozhang baodao and this is the jian yi part)
So, yeah. In the end I had to go home, and I just ended up wasting time at home due to all the distractions. My phone, my radio, whatever. Ugh. I'm the master of procrastination. Like right now I'm blogging instead of studying for my chem exam on Monday. Joy.
On a lighter note, ALEX GASKARTH IS SO HOT. I loooove the way he moves when he sings in the I Feel Like Dancin' mv. It's so punk rock-ish. I dunno if you get what I mean, but yeah. All Time Low is awesome.
Andand. The Wanted is hotttt toooo. Especially Max George and Jay Mc-something. I don't know how to spell his surname. Ahaha.
Okay okay. I desperately need to go study. The guilt's kicking in.
BYE
