rthe jellyfish is back. These 3 days have really been 3 slack days. Cos yesterday and today are somehow similar.

Wake up, eat breakfast, watch tv, do hmwk, watch tv, eat lunch, watch tv, in front of com, eat pancakes, in front of com, sleep.

lol this sounds like a super lazy holiday. Anyway, VVG BBQ was nice? Loads of food, loads of ppl, loads of games? The band ppl came, and ya many interesting happenings... Like HJ being amazed of the minesweeper game, or SY finally losing his temper due to lack of basketballness, or AH scoring many balls...

Just sharing, with no offence to anyone, the annoying habits i seen in the past and i want to post it here for some purpose.


1 - bootlicking. Not literally, but is people who tries to interact with teachers well and talked nicely to them, aka trying to be in teachers' good books.


Example: Let's imagine Mrs PKYW sitting at the teacher's table during form class period, and a quiet class reading their RD magazines or doing their unfinished homework. Suddenly, 2 students (name them X and Y) talked to PK. Mrs PK, don't u feel stressed about being a teacher? Mrs PK, how is ur husband like? Mrs PK, u want to know about this... that... bla bla bla... etc...

The next moment, the whole class gives a CONDESCENDING look to both X and Y. lols. ok this statement is very unfair to X and Y, let me rephrase it. *Dont you think that X and Y behaviour irritates the people around them?

=========================

2 - smart alecks (aka ppl who loves to counter-argue things or answer many questions in their style - mostly wrong and always try to get their way)

sure u have met someone who loves to answer questions in a class or in a meeting (whether they answer correctly or wrongly is another matter) or someone who loves to challenge facts. Well, some people will say, "wow they have the courage to speak up, isn't this great?" However, another group will say, "if they keep bombing questions or challenge facts, how is the class going to learn in this rate of learning?"

Quote RN: Many people don't like to speak up, cos they are afraid that people will call them, 'smart aleck', 'teacher's pet', 'trying to act smart ppl', 'bootlickers', etc...

well i won't disagree with his sentence, and it is not entirely good to be shy and timid and not bravely answer questions. But just imagine, the next moment everybody tries to speak up and then there are conflicts and arguments about a certain thing. And also face it, in the real world, u will not be awarded with a 'ANSWER MOST QUESTIONS CORRECTLY AWARD' during speech day, instead u will be disliked or HATED by many people indirectly. XD (I'm being too evil)

===================

3 - indecisive people in normal decisions (normal decisions as in deciding a time for lunch or whether to go for a simple game of basketball)

this is extremely COMMON in the present situation. Let's take a normal conversation that pissed me off before, i am going to be J, and my friends are U, V and W.

- ON MSN - (10.00am)

U: Let's go for a basketball game on 3.30pm at block 219!
J: ok, confirm wif me later on.

- J logs off for while -
- U asks V -

U: V wanna go bball?
V: Who is going?
U: still asking.
V: i will go if J and W goes.
U: lols ok.

- U asks W -

U: W wanna go bball?
W: who is going?
U: still asking.
W: ok i will go if V and J goes.
U: wth? like this everybody tell me nt sure then how i confirm?
W: dunno leh?
U: zzz...

- J logs on, J asks U to confirm - (12.30pm)

J: U, so how? Anyone going?
U: V and W all say nt sure.
J: huh? the bball game is like a few hours and not confirmed?
U: dunno leh nt sure...
J: nvm i help ask.

- J asks V -

J: Oi V, u going bball later or nt?
V: nt sure.
J: 2 hours later bball already u tell me nt sure ar.
V: dunno la. see first lor.

- J asks W -

J: W u going bball?
W: dunno later then decide.
J: when? christmas?
W: nt sure la, maybe got something later on.
J: like wad thing?
W: dunno, currently nothing.


How do you tell me nt to get pissed off like this? Yes i can also be indecisive at times, but hey juz imagine seeing loads of events where 90% of the people give u a 'huh i nt sure' reply. ANNOYING!

======================

4. Punctuality


Often people are late for many events, regardless of major, minor or insignificant.

Quote and example, during a bball game on a bright and beautiful sunday. People A B C D E F, all agreed that they are going to turn up. F being a punctual one came very early.

J: Hi F, you're early.
F: haha i am always early, when u nt around.
J: =.= ok where the rest, left 10 mins start le.
F: wait first lo...

- 3 mins left -

E: wa, only 2 of u all?
J: ya. where the rest?
E: dunno, they always late de. i surprised that 2 people already arrived.
J: LOL

- the rest are all late, lets see their excuses - (in order of early lateness to late lateness)

A: Never mind la, u see so many ppl haven't arrive yet.
B: Everyone is always late anyway, so i late also nvm wad.
C: late only wad? start the game lo. D says he later come.

(80 mins after the game has started - VIP Person D has arrived! XD )

*Take note that i am eliminating the excuse for person D has he has no excuses. o.o and also take note that i am implying sacarsm into the 3 letters - VIP


end of small minor meetings by small minor meetings between groups of people

let's talk about big important events! (criticizing most VIPs here)


Wedding dinners are no strange events to us. If you are one of the early types of people who obeyed the punctuality rule, you will find out that wedding dinners ALWAYS delay the time by a few hours. Why? Cos many people are always late! Including VIPs! Isn't this amazing?

To the chinese, by going to a wedding dinner early, you are showing that you are 'greedy' for dunno wad reason, but i guess it has something to do with the peanuts on the table. Wow, this tradition is extremely important, by going late, u are not greedy!

i can say only 1 word: BULLSHIT!

if being punctual is considered greedy, then i suggest that the lovely couple in their wedding day changes their reporting time for their weddding time 2 hours earlier, then hey everyone will be punctual. :) just imagine everyone being there, and hey the wedding starts ASAP, and the couple will be blessed and do not have to endure the long tiring hours of waiting! XD

lols i am being too imaginative...

===========================

5. Ppl who always try to act 'great' (regardless of good or bad incidents) - lols


Imagine talking to 2 people called H and I. When talking to H about an incident, I suddenly says that he is involved in such a situation before! Or better still, is involved in a MUCH BETTER incident which does not have any 2nd linkage or amide linkage to the discussion topic!

Eg:

J: You know, the bleeding of the leg is just very scary, u can see the person's pitiful look.
H: wa, then will the person die?
I: won't want la, u know hor, i last time rite, fell down and hurt my leg, u can see that the whole leg and body is bleeding like hell, but i still alive, and this is much more scarier than J's person incident!

another eg. (I and J are discussing about how I's subject combination ended up him into class delta)

I: i dun like class delta.
J: ya i know, i like my class beta! anyway, cos u choose bio history, thats y u ended up in class delta! many people like u ended up in that class also wad. o.o
I: ya la. and btw, if i choose physics and geog, i will end up in the same class as u lor. because... (reason 1), (reason 2), (reason 3)... so u see... (conclusion). [talks in a i control which class i go manner]


I dunno y i dun like such behaviour. imagine if somebody talks to u, and the next moment he boasts about his past injuries, his achievements in basketball, tennis, bowling, PS games like gundam seed or naruto... No end to it, and no questions asked!

===========

STILL EDITING

Next few irritating habits:

6. Ppl who have too much moral values
7. super sacarstic people - like me?
8. Ppl who love to interfere, in conversations, or while u walking. :)
9. Ppl who just loves to be formal and law abiding. :) [quote: wo zai zheng fu bu men de ri zi]
10. stubborn people [i say and it means yes]
