mats and minahs sitting on the next dining table and making loud comments, none of which are funny btw, shouting at each other-which is really their rendition of chatting to their equally deaf friends, idiotically insulting people and saying mild profanities out loud.. call me intolerant, call me catty, whatever.. but i uttered a loud irritated patronizing 'chhk' and and shot them an equally irritating jeling (sorry cant find an eng equivalent of this, i have been trying for yrs).. all of which they cant hear and see, unfortunately, cos im was blocking their view from me. of u might call it fortunate, if u will, cos i'd hate to think of them picking a fight with the normally passive me.

i think i'm getting more intolerant of such unacceptable behaviours and find myself increasingly not being able to contain my displeasure, which is really bad for me cos thats how people get themselves in fights now, isnt it? imran said i do have a habit of jeling-ing at people sometimes, and much as i'd hate to admit, yes i think i do.

esp to:

1. kiasu peeps to push and shove at u when trying to board the bus. (old people i can still tolerate la huh..? mebbe its their arthritis getting the better of them or something-lets give them the benefit of the doubt, but young sg-eans...? wah, cant stand it man... cannot wait is it? u think i cant walk is it, must push push?) my response to this is again: the 'chhk' sound while half-turning my head with a frown, trying to look pissed and sometimes, dusting off the part of my bod which they came in contact with.. utterly annoying, i know.. but they deserve it.

2. china-men (not trying to be racist here, is jus that of the times these happen to my mum, its always china-men, i recognise them from their v thick accents that i've grown accustomed to hearing when i was in skoo) and any other peeps of cos.. who cut queue (again) in supermarket lines sliding blatantly at the comfortable gap in front of us, despite seeing me and mum queueing behind. my response to this: try not to swear n curse too much in front of mum (then again, i dun swear n curse to begin with)

3. chikopehs and perverts and leering apek, bangladeshi and other such men whose eyes should be permanently stabbed with pitchforks and whose dangly body parts should all be nailed to the wall. disclaimer: before u open your mouth or start thinking i v perasan and start making comments like 'wat makes u think even apeks wanna look at u?' lookie here, i know my place k? i never said anything bout being eye-candy.

but when u are the only person on the overhead bridge and the only other person being an apek coming from the opposite direction, to quote an example, its obvious that when he stopped n make stoopid noises to go with those stoopid leering eyes, it would be targeted at the only other person on the bridge, aint it? or mebbe he saw a lambo going past. yes, most probably la. lets give him the benefit of the doubt.
anyways.. u get my point..? its pretty creepy and unnerving.. and u try to stay as far away from these chikopehs or however u spell it. in a crowded place, when this happen, i normally make the 'chkk' sound again, complimented with the irritated look and jeling (come to think of it, i do this pretty often, dun i?)

i mean, now that i m at this topic, lemme just dwell on it a bit.. guys, seriously looking at gals is fine, but when it comes to leering, its just plain rude la. u dun see us girls keep on staring at your crotches, do u? xcuse me if the last sentence irks u, but i m trying to make a point here. its plain uncomfortable. just to illustrate it further, i have a friend who has a friend who actually saw a guy wanking on the mrt while just staring at her or something. poor gal. and i m not kidding.

4. girls who look at you up n down n up again, sizing u up, for god knows wat reason. mode of response: again, same as above.

5. and of cos, my pet peeve: mats and minahs acting like momoks unleash, laughing like banshees (momoks are cousins of banshees, only malay version). for more info on why i always seem to have a bone to pick with this grp of people, go read: mats n minahs: only the foolhardy kind. the rest r ok

so there, all out.. phew.. sleep now..
peace n love to all non-irritating beings..

(lemme try to explain wat 'jeling' means k: imagine the most irritating person u know pissing u off again, and so u shot him/her your most venomous look, and u close your eyelids while moving your eyeballs to look in another direction. so when u open your eyes, u are not looking at that person anymore. do this in one fluid motion, and there u have it. voila! a venomous 'jeling'. anyone knows the eng translation, please tell me..)
