WHY?
1stly before i continue...
wat's happened to my hubby?? MIA it seems. Hurry back. Miss your blogs.
Have you been kidnapped by J; serenaded by P; or just over indulged in yummy spicy food by VJ!!
Why do...
People always assume you're so smart just 'cos u come from a well-known school? And what the heck does "u are so smart" mean anyway? Does it mean you're a better person than the rest -- of course not. Does it even hint at your character in any way -- NOPE. So why the hell would anyone wanna tell someone else that he's smart or clever as though it has any value.
People always comment "Wa so rich!" when u tell them u live along Holland/6th ave. I dun say "oh you're so poor" when someone tells me he lives in a HDB flat or hostel! It's just home. And being wealthy doesn't really set one apart from others. Plus does anyone ever consider the fact that it's usually the PARENTS' house!!
All my life, words like 'smart' ' clever' 'imaginative/creative' etc etc floats above my head, innocently and falsely buffeting a naive ego -- as though all these actually mean anything. Perhaps they have some weight when you're still in school but by uni most of us would have pretty much figured out that these are all meaningless phrases, said only to pacify and satisfy parents.
It really doesn't matter if you get good grades or live in a big house -- wat matters more is who you are and wat you do. Your character as a person and how much people skills you possess.
Being who i am, i deeply admire those who can burst into lengthy conversations with whoever's infront of him, and feel comfortable and confident in whatever they say. It's like magic the way they can interact so easily and smoothly with anyone. I can't.
I can't be nice to pp i dun like, i can't make small talk, i can't even be bothered to interact with pp whom i dun consider frens, hence my small tight circle (whom i love dearly). But sometimes, i do wish i have more pp skills, esp when i meet someone cute.

I guess one can only be blessed with so much... leave some gifts for others.
No gift of the gab nor subtlety. Rude, wild and unyielding - is me.
But i really really HATE to be judged by where i live or where i've studied etc. Frelling superficial.

Hiya, dont fret.. I mean let these people say and think whatever they want... their problem... as long as you are fine with yourself, then it is great.
I know what you mean about eloquence, sigh, hey, but any different, we wont be ourselves...
