Topic of the day: Singapoe is super boring
I'm not the kind of person who goes out very often. I do get sick of staying cooped up in the house all day, but going out doesn't seem much fulfilling either way
Let me try to summarize the activities available to the regular Singaporean teenager.
-Lan Gaming
-Movies
-Walking in circles at Orchard road, glancing at clothes, buying whatever appeals
-Kbox? (never done that)
-Pool?
-Bowling
-Do the worst thing possible. neoprints.
And other possible, but fast-tiring places like
-Escape theme park
-Swimming Pool
-Zoo
-night safari
For those over the age limit,
-Clubbing
Clubbing blows. Inhale that smoke, guzzle alcohol, dance liek a fag, That's all. Unhealthy, I guess it's acceptable every once in a while to relax. But not a place you find interesting after going there repeatedly.
Escape theme park, maybe you get a few thrills for the first few times, but it dies off after a while. Plus, it's expensive.
Swimming, quite fun actually but no one seems to take it intensely. I suppose the over-chlorinated water, mixed with the dirt of everyone who jumps straight into the pool, turns people off. I think this is quite a cool activity actually, i remember last time when i swam i always managed to get into some stupid invented game like "Shark".
Zoo, night safari = smelly = uncool + fast tiring. Only for family outings.
And now we move into the regular activies the average sg teenager takes part in.
Lan Gaming, enjoyable, does not tire out easily. However, it burns a big hole in the wallet, and at the end of the day, doesn't accomplish much, especially if you suck at it rofl.
Movies, ahhh it seems every week a cool, must-see movie appears. Many a time i feel like watching but in the end, can't find the time to go for it. Well, it's a extremely repetitive process but the fact that every show is different and most hyped-up movies are actually decent enough to enjoy numbs the $7-$9 paid. Once in a while, i'm cool with that. Watching 1 movie per week = minimum of $28 a month. Two months = One PC game or GBA catridge which provides muuuuch better entertainment if you choose the right ones.
Whenever i go out, after movie+food, we get walking around aimlessly and we see plenty of people doing that too. Windowshopping = walking around aimlessly, admiring cool-cookie shoes/clothes = walking around aimlessly, only if you already have the intention of getting a gift or buying at the start, does it count as not walking around aimlessly. Why? Either there's nothing to do, or the entertainment is too expensive. Sigh.
KBOX = no comment, haven't done that although i suspect it would be quite fun in a large group.
POOL = no comment
Bowling is corny and for people who rarely bowl, it is but a HUGE waste of money, and gets boring very fast.
neoprints?!?!??!?! no, omg, neoprints.are.the.retarded.shit on earth. There was once john wanted to take one with the other guys. Everyone joined except for me. I thought it was retarded and still do. Having a low-quality picture with puny resolution and some retarded flowery things at the outlines spells gayfag, girlywhiny, to me.
Waaaow, so the only decent activity that seems interesting and not too much a waste of money is swimming. Can you blame people who spam computer games everyday? People who go out everyday aren't doing much better since they normally stick to their own friends, and to make things worse, they splurge lotsa $. Lotsa $ gone to waste.
Does going out often give you better social skills? Maybe it helps, but it depends much more on the person. Take me for example. I hardly go out during the holidays (track/soccer trainings don't count plzzzz) but i have better manners than i think 70% of all teenagers out there. Actually, i think 70% is too low a number, probably distorted by the circle of friends i have who are actually pretty dam polite when you compare em with the avg sg teenager.
And, i have 0 problems talking to people of either gender, actually more like i keep to myself, because i'm not the extremely social person but when strangers ask questions or speak to me, i give 90% dam bloody better replies than the retarded "i donno haha," because i actually keep silent and think of a good reply instead of shooting out whatever comes to my mind.
btw i also very, super rarely talk to girls. Like er, once every 3 months? More during holidays when people meet up, but as i said i don;t go out often, so not by much. msn convos don't count btw, you smirking nerd smiling to yoursel who only knows how to sms and speak online but comes up with a shit convo when face-to-face (super-plenty of idioticcc puhleese questions and statements i've heard, even from our white knight angst punk, player casanova kyle, the one and only fabian.)
I come up with a decent, interesting conversation which the nygh girl karen can 100% be my witness and some idiots will doubt me and actually ask her or get friends to ask her, or try to know her or..er. whatever.
I know i went offtopic but yeaa, sg is too boring a place. expensive entertainment blowssssplsssss
