And here comes an end to the Survivor and The Amazing Race season. Both had satisfying winners. Sophie Clarke for Survivor and Ernie Halvorsen & Cindy Chiang for The Amazing Race. It's been a long time since both had winners that I liked from the start. So yeah, been a great time watching it the past 3 months!

On a slightly heavier note, tomorrow is the day that I don't know if I am dreading or looking forward to. Release of results is definitely scary and intimidating, but a part of me wants to just get over with it. Be it good results or a flunk, just let it be. After all, nothing can change it now. I just don't get it why people are so afraid to get back their results.

Recently, SMRT has been getting slammed a lot because of faulty train services and 3 breakdowns in consecutively 3 days. Personally, I am not affected by it but I feel appalled at how Singaporeans generally reacted to it. Yes, you are frustrated, you are annoyed, but can't you just show some graciousness? All the talk about Singapore being a world class country and yet having its citizens slamming their own transport infrastructure is a like giving yourself a slap in the face. Just give constructive feedback and help them improve. Slamming them and criticizing just for the sake of criticizing will get us nowhere. Hopefully, Singaporeans become more mature and stop being so childish blaming SMRT solely for it. They may be at fault, I agree but not totally. Hopefully, this incident will tide over soon.

Lastly, the video of Aaron Tan is really a disgrace to Singapore. The whole video is just . 18 year old and he thinks he owns the world. Seriously, what a joke. Criticizing someone's English when he can't even pronounce 'please' properly. Good thing he is in the boy's home now. Hopefully, he grows up when he comes out.

I think I'm a very hopeful person. Hopefully, everything turns out well!
