Blogging Challenge - GGC version

Another 5 topics I promised to blog about

1. Gripes about public transportation

Honestly, up til 4 days ago, I would say public transportation in Singapore is one of the best I've ever encountered, and I have absolutely nothing to complain. Yes, it sucks that I have to take 3 buses to get to NUS from my home, but really... they're clean, they don't cheat your money, they are easy to use.

BUT on Tuesday, I discovered the horrors of the 'peak hour', which I have avoided most of my last 3.5 years because I lived in hostel. So, I was at City Hall (on my way home from work), and ended up missing 4 trains because they were completely packed! 4?!!!! trains and I still couldn't get in?

Packed trains, I can deal. I'm sure MRTs all around the world have such problems during peak hours... but its the people trying to force their ways through, without consideration for who they're elbowing into. I doubt I have to elaborate - the number of letters to the Straits Times forum about ugly singaporeans is testament enough.

Oh yes, and I almost forgot... bus drivers who do not stop when you've been flagging frantically at the stop...

2. Some new crazy things that CW wants to try in 2009

-I have been wanting to try this since 2008, but I will try it in 2009 - get on the REVERSE BUNGEE! An old friend and I once made a bet about who'd get attached first. If he got attached first, he brings me to sit on the reverse bungee. If I got attached first, I cook him a full dinner, complete with appetizers and desert. I won the best by just about 2 days, so I get to bungee!

-Run a full marathon! I guess that's crazy enough by normal standards.

-Go up to a stranger on the bus and start talking to him/her (haha)

-Take up some form of dancing - ballroom?

-Run up Kent Ridge Park with a close friend and scream/laugh our hearts out like no one could hear us.

3. Boxers or Briefs?

Boxers. They remind me of my good friend Mr GJY who loves walking around in his boxers, so I got him 'Calvin Klein' ones from Beijing. And boxers are comfortable! I've a pair of boxers at home because a (female) friends left them behind when she stayed over. I've worn them and they're nice and airy, haha.

4. 5 things CW needs in her bf (or bf to be)

Thing 1: Sufficient trust to let her to do what she wants, and hangout with whoever (including her good guy friends)

Thing 2: Honesty and openness, loads of it I hate it when people lie to me.

Thing 3: Following from Thing 2, willingness to talk stuff out

Thing 4: Makes her laugh herself silly and doesn't mind laughing himself silly together

Thing 5: A dependable friend

5. 5 things CW doesn't want in her boyfriend (or boyfriend to be)

Thing 1: Cigarettes

Thing 2: Party animal

Thing 3: Doesn't bother to keep himself neat and presentable (its not about being good looking)

Thing 4: Control freak

Thing 5: Expectations of a perfect gf/relationship (those don't exist)

I feel like I've just filled up one of those long questionaires where you have to fill in details about yourself and then tag people to do so... haha.
