anyway, finally watched my phantom of the opera with levyne. we were so awed by the entire troupe, their singing was fabulous.. if only i can have 1/10 of their voices.. lol! the masquerade scene was very well done as well, it is so attractive that even u will feel like organising a mask costume party. ahhaha.
its now my 2 weeks holiday break.. tons of assignments to do.. i tried to do it yesterday.. i look at the questions n i was like wtf r they talking about?! n then, as expected, i close the book in disgust.
LOL.
been hearing several stuff, be it me, or other ppl.. i guess i've growned up, after getting hurt by friends, or rather, "friends". it dawned on me years ago that no one can be trusted, no one can be ur 100% forever good friend, no one can be ur forever trustable partner, no one is forever the same, n the list goes on..
ok lah.. maybe not no one, but just less than a handful of them.. i've found several of them, at the same time, i found many others, n also found out some others, r under those "friends" category.
given my temper n character, i would have been furious if i hear anything untrue about me or my friends, to the extend that i may even confront the person.
however, i did not. in fact, i remained very calm n im proud to say, i am not angry at all. yes, i dun deny i am abit hurt, but at least, i did not lose my temper. this alone justifies that i've grown.
my friend was telling me, u dun angry leh.. i think they r kind of surprised that i am infact still very calm. haha.
put it this way.. i've been hurt by friends many times.. though i am not a good judge of people's character, but i can say now i am not as trusting as before. i've also know that there are many hypocrites around, ppl who can talk behind ur back 1 minute n another minute they can be smiling to u, joking with u n stuff. i simply detest those fakers. i feel very disgusted by their actions.
understand that i am disgusted by how hypocritical they can be, n not because they talk behind my back.. hmm.. i dun really know how to explain la, but, never mind..
i cant do anything about them.. they can say all the unkind, untrue, or whatever things they want, it doesnt bothers me at all. just as i told my friends, they can ka my jiaowei to whoever they want, my reputation may suffer abit, but it wont be as much as them. they can backstab me to ppl who know me - my true n real friends will know n believe they r not true, as for those who doesnt know me well enough, thats just too bad, i am not bothered by their impression of me at all. what matters most is my real n true friends. as i said, ppl's impression of me may not be as good anymore, but those ppl who talk behind my back will suffer even more when the whole world knows that we r pretty close n yet they can still talk behind my back. lol.
ah well, if they wanna be fake, i can be 1 as well, better than them if i want to.
its just saddening to see that the world is filled with liars, cheaters, hypocrites blah blah.. just the day before, i got conned.
i was walking to the bus stop, i meeting levyne n lennart at town.. then suddenly this middle aged man came running behind me n call out:
man: 小姐! 小姐!
me: *turns back*
man: can u tell me how to go to bukit batok?
me: erm, i think u take a bus to interchange n then take mrt?
man: no no, i want to walk back to bukit batok.
me: har? that is impossible! it is too far.
man: i live at bukit batok.. i walked from tampines 400+ to here, i dun even know where i am now. i left my wallet at the kopitiam n it got stolen by the time i went back for it. i got no $$ n ez link card with me.. so i have to walk home.
me: but it is impossible lor. *meanwhile keep bioing to see if my bus is coming*
man: *starts muttering alot of stuff but i cant hear them* *looks very flustered also*
man: can u do me a favour?
me: *i know what he wants* what favour do u want?
man: can u lend me some $$ *eyes r filled with tears n anxiety*
me: how much do u want
man: just $5-$6 will do..
me: ok.. *takes out my wallet n saw that theres only $2 n $10 notes.. so..*
me: i only got $2 here.
man: tried to move forward as if to see how much $$ i've got in my wallet.
me: *throws my wallet immediately inside my bag* i only got $2.50 here.
man: *looks abit disappointed* ok, but how do i return u the $$? can u give me ur contact number? i'll return u the $$
me: no need no need, just take it.
man: thank u thank u!!!
with that, i turn around n walk towards the bus stop. by right, he should be taking bus with me, but he walked the opposite direction.
actually i know something is amiss... but still, i just give him the $$ lah.. on the bus, i concluded that i got cheated.. but i told myself that its ok, treat it as doing a good deed, donating to charity. i wont get any retribution, it is he who will suffer in future if he is really a cheater, after all, he is cheating on ppl's kind heartedness.
lol. i called dear n told him what happened.. dear was like..
dear: oh.. never mind lah, small thing only.. wait, u din give him ur number right
me: of coz i never lah! i not so stupid leh!
dear: oh then ok lah.. $2.50 only, not $250 mah.. never mind lor.
me: yalor.. treat it as 做善事 lor..
dear: just be careful next time lor.
julia was telling me that our area got quite a number of conmen.. she came across afew before.. so i told dear what julia said, n dear commented that next time dun give ppl $$ anymore, no matter how helpless they look..
as what levyne said, at the point of time, u probably didnt think so much.. at the back of ur mind u r clear that this man is out to cheat, but still, u give him what he wants, probably because u just want to move away from him asap. who knows, he might even pull up a knife on u if u refused to give him $$. lol
