Of Childish Idiots

Sometimes, I cannot believe how stupid some people are. What person in his right frame of mind calls someone up, tells her that he's going through some major emotional problems that he ABSOLUTELY needs advice on from you, wakes her up from her nap, urgently tells her that he HAS to see her NOW and then starts pouring his soul out about his new girl who apparently has all the qualities you didn't possess and who he's putting so much effort on which he has never done before for any other girl including yours truly?

Seriously, what kind of a person has a brain the size of an infinitesimal speck? Are some people really that tactless, selfish, insensitive and idiotic? When I called Kaypee up afterwards, she told me that I should've walked away. I didn't because I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of being affected by his childish antics. I acted nonchalant and just plain emotionless about it. But of course, I'm human and I wound up ranting like crazy to anyone who would listen to me over dinner.

Last night, I told Adrian about it and he said that this was something you wouldn't expect to happen to you. These are the dramatic things you see in movies or soap operas. Although a part of me was pissed off by such cruel behavior, a part of me was also amused and even glad to have experienced it. At least now I've seen the true colors and I'd know better. You make mistakes, you pick yourself up, you learn from them and you move on.

Special shoutout to all the guys in the dining table who patiently listened to my tirade and backed me up. Thanks to Adrian for offering to beat him up for me. And special thanks to Hian Yi, my running/ranting buddy (because those two seem to be going hand in hand these days) for highlighting the fact that all boys are smelly, that all girls are stupid and that this stupid girl should smell harder.

Apart from that short soap opera stint, this week has been fairly good especially in comparison to last week's. I patched things up with a good friend and that is always one of the best feelings in the world. I got to see Last King of Scotland last Monday night after weeks of postponing and cancelling movie dates. I also got to run and swim and I didn't feel that tired afterwards which means that my stamina has improved! I also got to strengthen relationships with new friends in Singapore as well as old friends from home. Thank you Skype for your amazing free technology.

Math midterm results turned out much better than expected, and Econometrics midterm is finally over. I felt pretty good about the test -- thanks to the days and late nights spent isolating myself in Sheares Library. I will not step foot in said library until Reading Week.

I just finished my Physics take home test (thank you Ming Feng for the help!) and after a math lecture, a math tutorial, a physics tutorial and debate training, I'M FREE. I can't wait to go to Suntec tomorrow to buy my new camera.
