seek within myself

I really can't resist it, so i've gotta jot it down. This particular person just made my day again. I was at Orchard Paragon earlier today and i came across this huge, welcoming sports shop with lots to check out, so i walked in, with my frens. This particular shop is named Motion Sports i think and i seriously think it SUCKS!!!
My reasoning;
1)I pulled out a stunning-looking hockey stick from a vast selection and this fucking botak guy, i think he is the boss, came and told me no trying is allowed. He added that he cannot sell the sticks if they're damaged or scretched. Big deal! Hah but you see, a)most of the other sticks there are scratched or/and damaged. One of it even have part of it chipped off. And he's like STILL selling them, and telling me not to try them? How da fuck do i know if the stick is bloody suitable or comfortable for me if i don't put my hands at it? Its not saying i'm gonna give it a darn hard whack or hit, i'm not even bringing the stick into contact with the ground! And he's like so damn concerned with the matter as if its his "stick". b)the items he have are like rather old and outdated, and he's asking for a much higher price then when they just came out? I think he will be successful in opening an antique shop instead. Hah and he's selling S-League jerseys for like $100 and above when my friend can get it at $20++ elsewhere? Might as well go buy EPL jerseys that cost alot cheaper?
OKay fine he've treated me like that and so be it, yet this is how he treats all his local customers? there's a Chinese kid who was looking at a pair of boxing gloves and he told him to put it down. Oh how much damage can a kid do to the gloves? Woh perhaps its made of glass or even crystal such that its very fragile and one drop will shatter it eh? or that the leather skin that its made of is so darn thin that it can easily peel off just like how skins peel off your body easily when you have sunburn? Wow its a durable pair of gloves you have there eh, do you fucking know what boxing gloves are for? For display? There's perhaps an instruction tag on the glove stating "XXX Boxing Gloves- No machine wash, no hand wash, just use it for your viewing and showing-off pleasure. Its not built to be worn, be it for boxing or other purposes like pcc'ing." And a slogan for such a pair of intriguing boxing gloves that are designed not for boxing perhaps? "Just Don't Touch It".
Bear in mind, all the customers he've treated this way were local. Then here came a pair of ang moh tourists, and he immediately hid that wolf tail of his and said "please feel free to look around and try". Eh WTF?!! Treat the tourists like so nice and the otherwise when it comes to the locals?! If you are so damn embarrassed about being an Asian, or local, then don't be one! Ask ur mummy to fuck a caucasian? or a dutch? mayb you'll look better anyways. C'mon be it caucasians or Asians, they're still your precious customer after all right? Either you treat your local customers with a whole lot more respect and positive attitude, or simply share your fucked-up attitude with the tourists as well eh?
What's so special abt tourists? They've got more money to burn? or their hands are much cleaner? or do they look like Angels to you? Eh i seriously suggest you hand over your shop to someone who has better attitude yeah? or you just close your shops lah. How'bt re-naming your shop to "Tourists-only Motion Sports", or "Anti-Locals Motionless Sports"? Eh thanks Mr Chinese botak fella, you've just set my anger on motion again, for it has been stagnant and dormant for years.
I'm sorry this is my blog and i'm just writing abt how i feel. This is a place where i can favour more to my id rather than my superego? So pple out there, if you are a tourist reading this, i strongly recommend you visiting this shop named "Motion Sports" located at Orchard Road's Paragon. 2nd or 3rd level i think. The chances are, you're gonna get more than what you bargain for. Thats the real deal. however, if you're a local, please forbide yourself from going to the shop for it may and will most likely result in you getting pissed and unable to control your emotions, or that you'll get a baseball bat punched up your irregardless-of-whether-tight-or-loose asshole. To that hopeless botak fella, no hard feelings, but pls treat ALL CUSTOMERS THE SAME OKAY? or else, you're just a mere failure in life and you're better off selling used lingerie on the streets.
That apart, there's another matter that bothers me alot. In the previous post i talked abt how vicious and naive some people can be!
Oh hi i'm Ah Tok(not his/her real name) and i'm simply gorgeous. Voluptuous would be a better word to describe me. Sensual lips awaiting yours... bleah nah okay i'll come straight to the point. Oh i've been away for quite awhile, so i guess u've missed me much eh? Expected lah, nah no worries, here i am! I have little friends and they're beginning to leave me one by one? Why? I DON'T KNOW?! Oh wait i guess i know. my friends are stolen away! by their respective relationship partners. Oh my! some people are trying to take my friends away by going stead with them? see! now my friends spend more time with their steads than with me. I cannot let this go on or i'll lose them forever! solution? ASK THEM TO BREAK UP! Yeah thats good cos it'll not hinder their studies! yeah this way, they'll come to me instead of their steads that seemingly have no future at all. If they choose to be stubborn and don't listen to my precious advises, then i shall tie our friendships to a deadknot. How'bt that?

blah... blah... blah...
How some people think one arh? Im not pointing out any particular person here, its just a generalised example. If you're having this way of handling friendship, please, it'll only make you lose your friends. Im just freaking too tired to repeat myself again on such issues and stuff again, but please don't ever threaten to end your friendships with your friend just because he/she has too little time for you, be it due to relationship or other commitments. Friendship itself is a huge commitment and compromisation as well. Friends are not who we ask to come and go as and when we like, but whom we are integrated with in our lives. okay im gonna sleep cos i've chose to sacrifice my sleeping hours to post this deep thought i have in my mind for a long time. At least i can go to bed tonight with a lighter mind.

Why can't some people get alife? people who are already heading towards their 20's still retaining their child-like behaviour? Fancy getting anal over minute matters, thus neglecting the whole bigger picture of life? I shall not reveal this particular person's particulars for i respect his privacy, at least more than i respect him. This guy kept bugging me to do lend him something. i mean its okay if he wants me to lend him something, but at least ask nicely right? No he did'nt. As some of you pple know, im slow to reply in msn, either im busy doing something else or that im simply not at my pc- probably im outside in the living rm watching tv or something. okay so he asked me over msn. he msged me but i didnt reply cos i was, urm, in the living rm? so i didnt hear the bloody msn's alert tone as the sound was engulfed by the loud sub-woofers of my tv. to my displeasure, i suddenly heard this sound(the sound when pple nudge you over msn)in the background. once is enough so i went back to the rm to check what's the urgency of someone continuously nudging me non-stop. Bill Gates and his supporting team of IT geeks at microsoft are smart enough to ensure that the latest versions of msn messenger do not allow users to nudge pple too often. To much of my dismay, that bugger is alittle outdated and was still using the older version of msn messenger that allows the playful self of him to keep nudging pple non-stop. I was very much irritated and frustrated, thus i ignored him as i deliberately chose to reply to other conversation windows first, at least they are pple who are willing to wait, and are polite. As i was in the midst of other conversations, that bugger performed his "xiang long shi ba nudge" again. how irritating. i did not reply him that particular day. i thought i could hold back my patience, until today, where all hell broke loose. He nudged me again, without like saying helo, or at least try to TYPE and MAKE MORE PRODUCTIVE USE OF YOUR KEYBOARD FIRST BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABT NUDGING PPLE. Usually, pple will like type out as per normal at first, and will only resolve to nudging when the matter is urgent or when the latter did not reply for quite some time. He is otherwise. Of cos, this time i replied him, giving him hell of a time, greeting him with trains of insights and enlightenment as to how to ASK PEOPLE NICELY, or GREET PEOPLE FIRST BEFORE YOU THINK ABT ANITHING ELSE. I asked him if he knew that what he did was irritating and he replied yes. He said he had to do that because i didnt reply. If this is so, THEN WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I WILL REPLY TO YOUR TREAT OF TENDER NUDGES?! So pple, pls be nice and polite will ya? Although the messenger service is designed to bring conveniences to conversation and interactivity to the masses, it does not mean that fundamental manners can be excused.

After a few years at JC, I've realised something that I had never even thought i would come to. They say workplace is likened to that of a battlefield, i feel that schoolplace is very much likened to a workplace. That is, schoolplace is perhaps like a life-firing training ground, where mock battles and fights are conducted. They prepare us for the war ahead that is somewhat inevitable in our journey of life. To my opinion, JCs are perhaps the worst places to talk about trust and loyalty. I've never had this kind of feeling before back in kindergarten, secondary sch, nor even Millennia Institute, where i've been for my 1st 3 mths while pending my O's results. Some(not all) pple in jc are very fake, as in, they put on their facade to sch everyday, as if its sewed into part of their jc uniform that they must wear. They can backstab pple as though they are chanting their ABCs. they pretend to be so damn nice to you in front of you and they go around talking things behind you at your absence. They will perhaps go to student A, telling him abt how student B sucks and then go back to student B, talking to him as though they are sworn brothers, then slowly but surely, speculating abt how student A deserves hell. They will smile and say "hi" to you when they bump into you, and when you walk away unnoticed, he or she will wipe that smile off, as if it is loaned out to you, and replace it with nothing more pleasant than a frown. When you get back tests or assignments, they will flock around you and ask how you did, as if they cared so much for you. If you replied "i did badly", they'll show that sympathised look and act as though they really sympathise with you, more like they'll only want to give their condolences to you. Probably, inside their mind, they're thinking "YES!!! he is worse than me, he is stupid and im smart". However, if you replied "well, i did great!", they'll pretend to be happy for you and inside them, they are filled with envy and jealousy, hoping the worse for you next time round. They'll encourage you not to study so hard, as they reasoned that you should take care of your health more than anything else. "EH DONT STUDY LAH, WHY?! FAIL TOGATHER!".

When you accidentally bang into them, you sincerely apologise and they say "Nah its okay, no problem dude". Inside them, they're cursing you; "that fucking nae nae, hope he kena knock down by an eighteen-wheeler and get ran over. The driver, unaware of what happened, will then stop the truck(while you are still pinned under the last sets of wheels towards the rear), then reverse the truck so as to check if he've knocked down anyone(so that you will be ran over once again, and now you are directly under the front steering wheels of the truck), as the driver's hand is itching, he'll steer the wheels to max left and right repeatedly(until it eventually burn a large whole in your stomach), and finally after seeing nothing amiss, the driver speed off again(this time, you are again ran over and as you thought everything is over, your shirt got hooked by the rear axle of the truck, and you are dragged painfully against the tarmac as you see blood trailing behind the trailer of the truck. Other drivers tailing behind see you and laugh at you, as they swerve into other lanes to prevent their new Bridgestone tyres from getting stained by your trail of blood. Finally, you see a police car behind, attempting to signal to the truck driver to stop so that you can be freed from underneath the truck, dead or alive. Sadly, the truck driver thought the police are after him for alleged drink and drive, thus, he stepped on the accelerator further to attempt to flee from the police. The speed of the truck increased from a mere 60km/h to a skyrocketting 140km/h. you wonder why the truck can go so fast, only to realise that the truck is illegally modified to reach top speeds in excess of 200km/h. Not to forget you are still hooked underneath the truck and you can see the chunks of semi-digested Chicken McNuggets(tm) flowing out of your punctured stomach. Slowly , you see the Toyota Corolla police car growing smaller, unable to catch up, as its top speed of 160km/h is unable to match the truck's 200km/h. Finally, you see the police car switching off its siren, giving up on the chase and turned into a McDonalds drive-thru instead. Slowly, your nostalgia took over and images of the past flashed across your semi-conscious mind. Finally, you fade to black)"

So pple out there, if you happen to dislike someone, pls dont pretend to love him or her. It'll only make you dislike him/her more.
Instead, approach him and talk things out. Not as in you go to the guy and say " eh @#%!^$, u bastard! i dont like you. i wanna settle with you now! I will see no more of your crater face after today!" No, no! What i mean is, go to him and tell him whats the matter, and help him change for the better perhaps. As for me, i am very straight forward and blatant. I simply respond and react according to how i feel. If i like someone, i will be nice to him/her. However, if i dislike him/her, i will non-hesitantly show it as i am not obliged to be nice to him/her.
