Do things the English way...

and you may die.

One. If you think Singaporeans are kiasu, think again. During the first week of school, as everyone is trying to open a bank account, the queues outside the banks are so freaking long you can die. But mind you, the queue was ALREADY long 45 minutes before the bank opens. Beat that. (remember Hello Kitty? yea that)

Also, during lectures, people are so hungry for attention that they will say the cheem-est things that is currently irrelevant. Just to show off their "knowlegde". What they dont realise is that 90% of the students are A level Economics students. Dumbasses.

Two. If you fall sick in England, and while desperate for a doctor, clutching your aching stomach, and coughing your lungs out, you may just hear the nurse say, in a straight face-deadpan manner, "Sorry, but the doctor is currently taking a dump. Please come back later." It's true, you're definitely not hallucinating.

(Just to give a real life example -- my entire hall is down with the "Fresher's Flu". And one of my mates went to the doctor for a prescription. Not only did she come back empty handed, this is what the doctor said : "The cough is not from the lungs, so don't worry, you dont have pneumonia. Come back at the end of the week if you're still not well--to check if the cough has moved to the lungs." Believe it. Upon hearing that, I didnt bother to go the doctor, I went to the pharmacy directly. I went to the cashier to pay for my cough medicine, and all she told me was "Sorry I can't sell it to you as the pharmacist is not in.". And I was on the verge of coughing my lungs out. I'm not kidding.)

Three. In England, you have two water taps to a sink. One for hot water, one for cold water. Please just use your imagination to see how can I possibly wash my hands. One, you either freeze to death, or two, scald to death. Pick one.




Aye...and there's more to come.
