At the AMK Central bus stop this morning, i saw this blind old man who was tapping on the side of a bus, trying to find the entrance. He proceeded to ask very loudly over the crowd, "What bus is this?" A group of teens behind me who were also boarding the bus promptly replied, "74". His response: "Fuck you lah!" Later, i overheard some of them saying that it was not the first time they had seen that blind guy, and he always acted like that. "Next time, as him what bus he's looking for, then tell him that number lah!" So much for helping the disabled. And now, for the first time in a loong while, it's time to vent my anger as we go: [rant] One of the things that i detest most are arrogant asses who've got an over-inflated ego. And display it prominently in front of others, then picking on their flaws telling them off (even when you don't have the right to do so!) just so you can inflate it even further. And in case you were wondering, im talking about a student here, not a teacher. Though it's not uncommon to have staff in high positions who look down upon others either. Yes, our class management committee may not be perfect, much less the most hardworking, but at least we do our job. We keep the class cooperative, we act as the bridge between the class and teachers, and we handle all the administrative saikang. Thus i find it presposterous - for lack of a better word - when someone comes up to you and says, "Your CMC is just too lan." Especially when you're part of it yourself. Sure, we haven't been hading in our monthly reports - newly introduced this year by krison, our new teacher-in-charge - and we've been told off for it already, both by the teachers themselves and through spamming of countless yahoo egroups reminders. And we KNOW the deadline is by tmr, or else we'll face dire consequences amid threat of bad publicity. (Photos included.) Truth is, we don't really care about those reports. As much as krison wants to make it all resemble a highly-efficient government system with excessive paperwork, we just don't see the value in that - heck, we don't even get paid for it, whereas those professionals with their white shirts earn tons to do that crap. But we've resolved to do it up nevertheless, perhaps for the sake of our dignity. =3 Therefore i see no reason why you, a (fellow?) student have to bother to come up to us to remind us of our plight - complete with a sarcastic tone and even wishing us "good luck, man." Not forgetting your remarks of "you all haven't done it cos you're just too lousy"? Not just once, but twice, with that stupid grin on your face. Adding fuel to the fire, so it is. We don't need your pesky inteference with our class affairs. Just because you've been granted power (by who else but krison?) and managed to get into the ExCO doesn't give you the right to come along and put us down. I won't go so far as to retort "your CMC ain't that good either" cos there are indeed people in there who deserve the praise. (-pokes kenii-) But don't let that ego get too big for your head - even if you need it to cover for your short height, heh. Seriously, its probably the first time in sec school that ive got this pissed and cussed someone so badly - yet meant every single bit of what i said. And bothered to type out a blog post on it afterwards. I swear i would have given you a hard blow to your head to wake you up, if not for the fact that there were so many people around. To draw satisfaction from another person's loss and misery is something that i will not stand for. Especially if you aggravate the situation on purpose for the already depressed guy. So kindly fuck off, Khoo Bo Yan. This world would have been so much better without all these assholes around. As it is, my life's pretty much screwed up thus far already. We certainly don't need people mocking us in their pursuits of increasing the size of their e-penor. [/rant] And there's still lots of work to hand up by tmr - HRP, Project's Day, CMC reports and lots of essays and wroksheets. The fact that most of my night was taken up by a crappy conpumpulsory Chinese Drama Club performance on the life of Ong Teng Cheong doesn't help the situation at all, considering i just got home at 10.30 pm. I wish for deep slumber. And to not wake up to face tomorrow. |
