What is wrong with these people?
Am sick of arrogant people exasperatingly exclaiming "Speak English English! Not Singlish!" I am proud of Singlish as my culture and will use it whenever appropriate to a common countryfolk, and will switch to using proper English when needed in formal business context. I am proud of the way I speak and damn I will NEVER change it!
Am sick of everyone asking me "any updates?" and somehow I knew what they are referring to.
They are usually those of the few same characters and what they are really saying is "any new relationships?"
And no matter HOW MANY TIMES I emphasise relationships no longer is an agenda, THEY DON'T GET IT.
Getting sick of them and their stereotype as if a woman MUST have a man or something. They drive me sick. Can't they be more independent?! Funny how now I try to think of their names I can't think of any. just one green leaf, one Audrey, one XJ, one YQing. Come back to update when I do remember. Think I stopped meeting them. That is probably why I can't remember any hahhaa.
Then there are those complaining about how they cannot find Mr Right hard as they try. That is because they keep knowing the guys from pubs and clubs! What do you expect to find in a shallow place other than shallow people!? Then some are married with wives! Goodness! As if these women will DIE without a man. So many a times, when we meet, all they grumble about is having "no man, no man, no man, am getting older, how I am alone."
CAN'T THEY JUST STAND STRAIGHT UP ON THEIR OWN!?
Think the reason why I am alone is also because I am too strong. Still I respect these "xiao nu ren".
Once, I grumbled about how unhappy I am cause I am not successful, someone can actually ask "Is it because you are lonely?"
THAT REALLY SET ME OFF! LONELY! MY SCHEDULE IS BLOODY PACKED WITH DIFFERENT GROUPS OF FRIENDS AND MY RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CAN'T BE LONELY! DON'T THINK I AM THE SAME!
GOSH! The loneliness I felt is perhaps only stemming from the fact that I am sooooooooooo busy and sooooooooo distant from being me. So I keep postponing meeting this lady friend, to show how busy I really am.
Then there are my parents.
Dad mentioned how good they are to us, how they let us learn what we chose and did not force us.
I hate him for saying and thinking that I WANTED to learn ballet. I was forced into that ugly translucent costume by my mother who wants me to learn to be graceful. I hated all that.
I hate my mother for asking "why did you take up CPA? That shows you have a drive to achieve more! It's good!" When it was her telling me all about my eldest maternal Malaysian cousin taking all sorts of secondary certs and degrees, and won't stop saying things like "you don't want to do your CPA? you don't want to do your CPA? You dont want to do your CPA?" Like it was such a hard fact to accept and she wouldn't stop nagging until I started doing the CPA. And now I am probably the only Singaporean who failed in Australian CPA! What a great "boost" to my self-confidence, a complete waste of time and lotsa money! Everytime I get reminded of CPA, in whatever sense, my blood boils!
Can't have my own life without them as it is not a culture here nor is it practical to live away from your parents. Pretty often, I go to the company doctor for consultation. Not necessarily taking MC all the time, but for the medication. If I should call back home to tell them I am taking MC, the first thing I hear from my parents is how much time-off I take for consultation, and how many MCs I have taken. I mean, there are 14 MCs for each year! Half the year has past and I have only taken 3! So another day is ALOT? I can't even rest in peace and go home when I am sick! I used to have a place for solace as my ex lives only with his mum and I have the keys to his apartment and no one is usually at his place in the day. I always go to his place for resting. How I miss those days, at least there is a place to hide from the world!
WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTS! None the worse than my parents though. Think I will always hate them for that idiotic roundabout they are playing. FUCK IT!
