Naivety

Ok la.
So yesterday I was very a tad bit pissed off.

Well, you would too, if the noise in the office refuses to stop.

Anyhow, you would be irritated too, if your colleagues converse loudly in HOKKIEN. As yet, I am already uncomfortable with mandarin. HOKKIEN and broken english just irritates me. Nobody is perfect. But if you are not working towards perfection and staying with broken engrish then you deserve to be condemned.
By the way, there is a subtle difference between broken engrish and singlish.
And for goodness sake! WORK on those pronounciation! Stop teaching your children the wrong thing.

I think AM a quiet girl. (Or so say the people in my office), so I thrive in peaceful and quiet environments.
Ha ha ha.
I know how majority of you reading this don't think I am quiet. And I admit I am not that quiet little girl can.
I am only selectively noisy.
I only choose to be quiet when I want to be quiet. I think Rie the berry and Ash the pixie can so totally verify how unquiet (no, no such word) I can be. So it puzzles me sometimes how people think I am quiet. Well, I am only selectively quiet with boring company. I mean, it takes effort to talk and entertain. If it ain't worth it, you aint' getting it.

So yesterday I started wondering, if barbie is the world most boring man, how then did I manage to talk nonstop with the world most boring man? I realised I only manage to do so, because only he allows me to self entertain. I can talk endlessly about how fat he is, and all he can say to me is "enough" or "shut up", to which I am fuelled to rattle on more about his "fat fat"
Then, when I complain to the world most boring man about how he refuses to talk and entertain me, he'd point out that it is almost impossible for him to encourage my conversations most of the time without badgering his self-image.

I think some people are just naive.
Their self confidence is sometimes just so amazing. Their naivety is appalling.

naivety
n : lack of sophistication or worldliness [syn: naivete, naiveness] [ant: sophistication]
(Just in case you do not know the meaning)

I honestly fear for some people. The ones with the narrowest of perspectives, displaying the scariest naivety at a decent age. Those who live in their own world, suffer in their own world. How they do zero self-appraisals, and even if they do, they hardly stop to see if these appraisals reflect the general public view, or just solely their own deluded ones. Just because you think you are better looking than the next person doesn't mean you deserve to gain leverage over another.

Some people like to think, that because they receive many unsolicited offers to "befriend" them, it's because they are so darn hot. I don't know about you, but I get very insulted when I receive those freak messages like: Care to be friends? It is not because they are truly interested in getting to know you NOR is it because they think you are so cute and pretty. (-roll eyes) It is only because they think you are oh-so-fuckable. I know how crude this sounds. But there just ain't no way I can find a more subtle way to put this across.
I mean, let us all face it. Truth is as such.
It can't be the brains you have that they are after.

Oh wells.

Back to my book.
