hoodwink
lately, when stupid people make insensitive comments, i stare meaningfully into their eyes and with all sincerity i say to them,
"don't worry, it's not the end of the world even though your friends secretly hate u cos u talk like a jackass whose brain got flushed down the toilet bowl. evrything's gonna be just f-i-n-e."
**
it's a real test, i tell u. having to face unimaginably thoughtless folks who like to dispense audacious remarks that they believe, would change the world. it's as if the basic manners we learnt e.g. Not To Speak of the Obvious, Be Considerate of Other People's Feelings, Tactfulness is the Key of Life etc etc in our hao gong min textbooks have been recklessly discarded into the bukit timah longkang by these blatantly blunt people.
u blink in disbelief at their extreme frankness, and wonder if they've watched too much of Singapore Idol and Are You HOT. and other equally rude shows which laud the virtue of 'honesty', in a very crude sense.
i refuse to tolerate such disrespect, yet can do nothing about it. i mean, how am i supposed to react? grab their heads and bang repeatedly against the wall, whilst shouting into their ears "SAY SORRY NOW! SAY SOMETHING NICE NOW!"
no i can't. that'd be inhumane. not to mention that their skulls are probably too thick and cannot be smashed anyway.
so instead of trying to conjure up vicious get-back liners or resort to violent methods to get my point across, i've decided to filter out their nasty comments, throw a condescending, i'm-way-above-ur-silly-antics look, and sashay away with a flourish.
u can't stop stupid people from acting the way they are. cos stupidity can't be cured. once a blurblock, always a blurblock and that's just how it is. now that's real sad. for them, of course.
hopefully, maybe one day they'll turn away from their foolish ways and embrace sanity. but in the meantime, they serve as pretty good reminders of how lucky the rest of us are to be normal.

i haven't been blogging much juicy stuff of late cos i'm going thru some life-changing experiences right now and they're rather personal. somehow i'm not comfortable with plastering the details all over netspace cos:
1. nobody really gives a damn. or understands
2. it's none of anybody's business
3. GAHH. i'm just a shy kid, okay?
perhaps one fine day when evrything is over i'll be ready to tell anonymous blog readers. but in the meantime, i shall keep the fun to myself.
