men & women

a random 3-way conversation over MSN just occured between 2 of my colleagues and myself, which stirred some thought and shed some light to my otherwise stereotypical mindset...

ok so this is how it goes...

aestee says (3:44 PM):
err
he really a bit diff planet
l y d i a says (3:45 PM):
uh huhhh
aestee says (3:45 PM):
oh ya forgot men are frm mars
l y d i a says (3:45 PM):
yeshhh
Kyø - A real man never back down on his promises says (3:46 PM):
we are living on earth liao
lets not talk about the past

what Lionel says is true la.
we are living on planet earth and this means that there should be no difference between male & female; and that we should all learn to get along with each other for a change.
i know........ no matter what, we're all stuck in this stereotypical mindset of men are from mars and women are from venus.
but then the question goes back to: let's jolly well figure a way to get out of it then! =)

Land Before Time - Baby Littlefoot

this is a classic.

CRAP drivers

i seriously can't stand (-> this is putting it VERY nicely already) those DUMB A** CRAP drivers on ECP every morning during the morning peak hours rush.
they should all just go back to Driving School or something!
why do people have to slow down whilst going up Benjamin Sheares bridge!?!?!?!?!
why why why?
i can't seem to see the logic in doing so.
don't they understand that due to their HORRIBLE driving skills & common sense, they hold back the traffic and cause a tail back all the way down to marine parade?!?!?!?!
this causes people to be frustrated so early in the morning & be late for work!
why must they be so dumb?
they are beyond description.
dumb, arrogant, selfish, ugly, kiasu, idoitic, annoying, cuckoo shit singaporean male driverssssssssssssss!

once you get up the Benjamin Sheares, guess what?!?!?!?!
THE TRAFFIC SUDDENLY CLEARS!
i stress the word - SUDDENLY.

also, Singaporean man (more like boys) are so damn bloody ungentlemanly.
seriously.
i hate to make such a sweeping statement.
but really, from uncles to yuppies, all CANNOT MAKE IT.
when they want to chap your lane, they don't care, they just simply anyhow squeeze their way through, not caring for your safety nor convenience.
why? because they are simply SELFISH. best part is, they don't even say thanks when you give way to them!!!
sigh sigh sigh.
so this morning, i met this super cannot-make-it white mitsubishi lancer (time to scrap ur damn old car dude) who didn't let me chap his lane to go to Rochor, (hope he gets his just desserts) speeded up just when i switched my left signal on!
wonderful isn't he?
world's nicest male driver award goes to him. definately. *rolls eyes*
sigh sigh sigh.

so hoppppppppping mad this morning!
arghhhh!
felt like just burning all of them.
burn people, burn!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i seriously need a loud hailer installed to my car.

guilt trips.

these are by far the best trips to be on isn't it?
people make you feel like the world's biggest idoit, say things to rub it in your face just when you're already feeling miserable.
is that a true attempt to help the situation or wad?
i don't get it.
maybe this is too high an order for me to comprehend.

i like to look and think the best of people. really i do.
but i can't do that all of the time.
i am human after all.
and i think i deserve some credit for that from time to time.
some allowance please?

how do you like to feel that anything you do is never gonna be good enough?
i just know that i can't seem to ever escape that ill-fate of being made to feel that way.
perhaps it is self-imposed.
shrugs. i don't know. can't tell.

things are not always easy to just speak your mind.
sometimes things just need to be internalised for a while.
in which case, i realised, i don't even know what's exactly wrong.
just don't feel comfortable.
like something is amiss.
simply hate that feeling.
but what to do, everyone goes through it don't they?
i know it'll make light someday but just not now because it's all gloom and doom at the moment.

do me a favour, whoever reads this, please don't ask me about it.
because honestly, i wouldn't know what to tell you either.

why do you even bother?

thought of the day is:
"why is there a need to deal with difficult people?"

2 ways to it.
think abt it positively or negatively.

unfortunately, the negative aspects seems to outshine the positive for me right now as i'm penning my thoughts.

"why do you even bother?"
shrugs. don't know.

just simply hate to keep second-guessing people.
sometimes feel i'm better for being a hermit for a while.
just to stay away from situations that catches my attention inevitably.

friendships, relationships, all the same.
both require love and effort.
so how if thats the case?
doesn't anybody strife to upkeep something called unconditional love?
then again, maybe upkeep isnt the correct word.
it's more like, doesn't anybody want to give out and receive unconditional love?
or does everyone simply don't believe in it anymore?

it's not always as simple as everyone thinks, to be the peace-maker.
if everyone can just learn to tolerate each other a bit more,
or to just be a little more thoughtful, kind, considerate, caring, tactful, loving, patient, forgiving, i seriously think the world will be much easier to live in and lives wouldn't have to be significantly shortened.

then again, that's just only my mentality i guess.
technically, the world is a lonely place.
it's me/you against the world.

approval required

i never knew i needed approval from people on who i date.
isnt that a bit passe?
don't understand it always seems that you must have a say about/in my life.

don't judge others without first judging yourself.
