Lesson 1: Never bitch about people in buses
I learnt this lesson from a few bitching students[around 6-7] I met in the bus. From the same school as me. Sitting beside me. When I'm wearing house tee shirt. Talking so loud, people in Jurong could probably hear them. (I'm on the bus at Hougang towards Serangoon anyway). Not that I'm not guilty of bitching, no one is perfect. But I'm always careful enough to make sure I don't bitch around people that may know the subject. I digressed. As I was saying, I was on this bus, listening to my mp3, almost blasting it to make sure it covers the noise the girls were making cuz as mentioned, they talk real loud. Near my stop, I decided to keep my mp3 and save my ears from further damage [blast mp3 + loud talking = ear damage] What I heard was...
Girl 1: "xxx is so abcdefghijklmnop...."
Girl 2: "ya! that day abcdefghijklmnop..."
And the subject of bitching? A friend I know. No point mentioning who. And it made me real pissed, cuz beyond the superficial things that they were bitching about, there was more to this friend. A considerate girl who is spontaneous (sometimes overly) but still v nice, always ready to lend a hand. So before I got down the bus, I told one of the girls (who I recognise was from my O2 OG), "Never bitch about ppl in the bus." Girl 1 was shocked and asked "U now XXX?" I said "Duh." A reply from her fren made mi more pissed. She said "Wah Lau! She damm bad la! Nv tell us she noe XXX!"
WTF. You're happily bitching about someone in the bus, beside someone wearing ur sch house t-shirt, and u saw tt schoolmate and continue bitching, and u expect ppl to tell u "Oh plz, can u stop bitching about xxx cuz she's my friend?" Or do you expect a friend of hers to sit down there and dun do anything?
So, be careful when you bitch. You nv know who's there.
Lesson 2: It's all in the mind.
-------------------------------------
If you believe, it will happen. If you deny it and pretend it never happened, mayb you'll just forget about it and treat it as it has never happened. It's all in the mind. MST remember? You just keep it in ur mind somewhere... And perhaps about 100 yrs ltr, someone starts a conversation. And it will pop up in ur head. And you start bitching about it too. Maybe you've never really forgotten, but in ur mind, u haf forgotten about the distant past...
Afterall, it's all in the mind.
