Teletubby-tised...

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow...creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time..."

Been discussing about the state of conditioning of teachers with my neighbour at work. How we involuntarily pop up from our chairs the moment we hear the tune that represents the prelude to morning assembly. Every weekday morning. Five consecutive days. A short break of two days, and the cycle repeats itself. Just like how every morning I wake up exactly 2 seconds before the alarm rings. It can't be helped, life is a routine...like it or not. We are constantly being socialised into a state of robotism.

Anyway, on to less depressing stuff...

Haf been keeping up with the Sing Idol happenings...and I must say that in spite of my irritation with the non-toll-free numbers that audiences have to use to vote, there is some merit in such a contest format. The absence of a point system arbitrated by a panel of judges has somehow removed any traces of unfriendly competition between contestants. No one can really control their own popularity, and the uncertainty of it all means that everyone can just go there and aim for a good time, since you will never know anyway...
It's real interesting when you haf a show that showcases the contestants' parents almost as much as the contestants themselves.
Shall root for Jonathan and Jay!!

Everyday I struggle with the moral decision of whether I should cab to school/cab home from school. It's a moral thing becoz it concerns $$$. Becoz it seems somewhat wasteful to spend so much on cabfare when I should be saving up for the unknown future.

A little jaded....
