As I was advising The Mistake not to take The Pissed seriously and personally, because we meet all kinds of people in our lifetime, I can’t help putting a note to the funniest I have met when making cards for people, stupid remarks people make in my FB comment column, people I supposedly considered a friends and the things they say and do to me and the people in general when they tell me things.
Sometimes, I am sure these people think I am as dumb as I look, I think. That they think, I have a chicken brain and that my years of getting a Masters and being who I am now were all pure coincident dropped from Heaven as a gift from God because he is so utterly kind that he armed me with such blessings so I could survive amongst the world shoals of piranhas.
It just got to be.
This ex-classmate in my Masters class made a remark about me being angry with the world because I had this written, “Do you know why we could never have world peace? Because half of the people were born ass-holes.”
I was giving her remark a thought. So I replied her in as much kind as I could that the fact of the matter is such and that I have no choice but to face reality of life. It’s just short of telling her, while she lives in her sordid world of 3 kids, in her education job (or isn’t she a full time mother now?), architect husband and has a life revolving around her family and comforts of her church life and church friends, she is as ignorant as a bat living its day and night in a stale smelling cave.
And to get smart ass remarks from someone who lives within her little world, perplexes me a lot. I have not even put a remark about her ignorant, selfish life who has been only dedicating it to everything around her that makes er feel great about herself (Note the ‘her’ everywhere). So fucking comfortable and she has the cheek to lament about me. Plus, I don’t see why I have to pretend that everything around me is fine and jolly. I’m no hypocrite to begin with. Urgh.
God.
I also had one of the woman deleted from my list of friends because she is always making smart alec remarks., like telling me how to lead my life. Oh. Look-who-is-talking. Wait, I can’t even remember who exactly she is because for the life of me, she is that irrelevant. I’m honestly trying to pick my brains what exactly is her name, but I still can’t recall as I am typing these sentences. Haha… so far so good, my mind has indeed deleted her off conveniently as I have ‘x’ her off from my list of friends. Yak yak yak.
Then I have an ex-college mate whom I got connected in FB. As we were chatting about our lives and catching up with all that has been missing, when it came to our jobs, and while we were exchanging on the things we are doing in life, all she could answer me is to check out the webpage of her company profile which directs me who she in the company. Like WTF was that?
Showing off? Trying to tell me she has reached somewhere in life? Or was it trying to rub how successful she has been despite me being better in school back then?
Common.
And yes, she was apparently the Financial Controller to this little courier company, called… errr, I can’t remember the name too. All I could recall is that the company’s corporate color is red and black.
Then I have this person whom always never to cease calling me ‘one of her best friend.’ Priceless friend I should say. She only appears in my life when she has got problems with the man she is having affair with. If you get my drift. Always and always. And she will spend hours on the line with me, dwelling over the same issue over and over and over again about that bloody man. And I, the idiot friend, would hang on to advising her over and over again, giving her the moral support to do the right things in life.
While I have no right to call him bloody, he is a bloody fool. Because while he refuses to leave the family for her and yet, promises her the Heavens and yet, she the idiot who always tells me she have decided to leave him who never does, I wonder in what way am I ever one of the best friends that whenever there are good things happening around her life, I am never part of it.
Like she conveniently, just drop a note today telling me she won’t be attending any tennis classes with me for this month due to personal problem.
The fact of the matter is, if she could share with me her most intimate issues, is she telling me she can’t even share with me what her personal problems are as ‘one of her best friend’?
And, mean as I was, I said this to myself, “No wonder she is still where she is, living under the shadow of a man who only wanted her for his very own selfish reasons.And no wonder, she could tolerate a Keling. She’s acting like one anyway.”
I know. I sound mean but that is how I feel about it. Betrayed. Because people use such words of ‘best friends’ and the likes so loosely. Nothing is worthy anymore when people cheat others of their feelings just for the purpose of themselves.
I’m not angry. Just feeling pure crap that I actually meet such people. That is all. But I’m not disturbed. Just mild irritation.
If tomorrow she comes to me and start pouring her sorrows again, I will be my usual self, lending my 2 ears again. I am sure. I am such a person and I would still give her my sincere advice which I truly mean.
Then I have also this funny person who I was merely conveying a message from my tennis coach that he doesn’t have enough racquets this coming week so if they (my friends) would like to get their own racquet, do contact him. I got one reply from this person in 5 exact words, “Tell him got no money la.”
WTF. Why don’t she just send that message directly to him. I’m just the messenger.
Of course, when I was sick with purging 2 weeks back which I took a Friday off because I was just tired and lack of sleep due to the late night WC escapades, when I got back to work on Monday, Pathetic J asked me if I did not come to work because I was just too frustrated with my Boss who told me off n Thursday.
This is what exactly I am trying to say. People just think I am so stupid and incapable in handling anything just because I happened to be younger by a decade and probably by now, better than him in a lot of things at work.
Again, I am not trying to blow my trumpet here but I’m trying to give examples on the insecurity in people and the means they used to put me down just so they feel good about themselves. He means it that if I were to admit I was very affected by my Boss’s telling me off, he would advice me whatever BS he has in mind so he will feel like a big brother to the little ones in the department.
If that is the case, if he is such a big brother, why is it that he HAS to fucking get me to literally do or sought long winded step-by-step how toa on reporting and forecasting related work on his portfolio everytime boss asked to get it done???
Ish…
Anyway, these are mere examples of funny people in my life thusfar whoms have been looming around me offlate. There is definitely more but I am just running out of time to lament them for the records.
So by and large, I honestly don’t care if I have those 370++ friends in FB because as far as I am concern, I have only within my 10 little fingers of friends whom I can really count on when I am in need of a shoulder to cry on or an ear to fret to. Other than that, they are mere condiments to my life, trying hard to make some color to it by means of their funny ways.
Life is indeed funny. Funny people from the funny farm.
