i realised i haven’t blogged here for a week. not like you care.
i apologise to my faithful 3 readers
updates on my mundane life include the fact that i’m officially part of my church’s First Aid team! thankfully they specified the requirements to only ‘Trained in First Aid’. i not yet a fully qualified SN lah. waiting for next year.
the ministry worker in charge of hospitality pumped my hand up and down vigorously in welcome as opposed to a normal handshake. i think he’d be very good at BCLS.
(as a whim, i’m gonna post up how i look like in my NYP school uniform in my next post.maybe.)
today when i was on the bus, this lady aunty came and sat beside me on the long row of seats(double deckered bus lah). apparently her derriére was so beeg, she shoved me aside using it.again. and again. until i was forced to sit sideways+behind the bar with the stop button.
after that she kicked my foot and my slipper flew off(i was sitting cross legged).
“solli ah…solli ah” was all she had to say.
i was so boiling mad inside but i kept my cool on the outside. tried to get my slipper on whilst she gave me a very ‘aiyoh why you take so long to put your slipper back on’ look.
kept staring at her after that(she was blissfully unaware) and sadly the one who got scared was the poor lady sitting opposite me with her 3 children. she looked absolutely petrified. changed my expression to a slightly more contrite one for scaring her.
(maybe i should post a picture of me staring instead and take a poll)
my intended staring victim did not get a taste of The Talented Horror that is me. how unfortunate.




not caring.
Thursday, September 14th, 2006[note : the theme of this post is 'Not Caring'. i just used the blogger as an example, okays? and if you is sensitive and cries easily, don't read this post lah. unless you give me your address and i can send a packet of tissues to you as a token of appreciation]
a friend alerted me to a certain famous blogger’s latest post. apparently that blogger was disgruntled at the lack of intellectual readers to her blog. so out of sheer boredom and mild curiousity, i went to go see what the fuss was about.
i was surprised man. for once she really made a point. she brought up the issue of steve irwin’s death and how people starting putting up tortises in their msn nicks and encouraging others to do the same.
frankly, to me, it IS sad that he died cos he left behind two young kids. but think about it. it happens to others everyday. its just that the world pays more attention to him because he was a larger-than-life celebrity whose pet cause was animal conservationism.
for example,if a “Mr Tan Ah Soo”, an ordinary and conscientious JC tutor with 3 young kids were to die of a heart attack while teaching, would his students even care to put up perhaps ‘nerd’ icons on their msn lists and ask everybody else to do so because he was a great teacher?
i’m NOT insinuating that those who bothered to put up the tortoise emoticons were being fake. maybe you really care about irwin’s death, i may not know that.
but if you try to force your ideals on someone who doesn’t care…well… it may end up making them irritated instead of interested.
caring firstly takes a whole lot of interest to begin with. and then some. and what if you get the person interested in your ideals but it turns out screwy and he/she starts to care about crushing your ideals instead because he/she realises that he/she hates it?
not caring can sometimes make you feel better. not caring about things that aren’t of great importance, to be specific. its just like how i’ve been not-caring about the above mentioned blogger’s blog posts until the one i just mentioned. cos when her blog posts are made of fluff and such or lies, why should i care and make myself get angry?
if you don’t care about negative stuff and encourage others not to care about negative stuff too, soon everybody would ‘not care’ about the negative proponents.
and since there wouldn’t be any fuss about whatever silly things that they are trying to promote, sooner or later they would stop. now, ain’t this a great suggestion to care about?
[ here's something you might wanna care about : how good your hearing is!]
