was discussing it with im just now. its not a new issue. we've discussed it plenty of times. and it always leaves feeling boggled, perturbed and highly agitated, like trying to swat an irritating fly but missing everytime. then i would start questioning im the never-ending whys like he's my oracle and walking know-it-all and he has the answer to everything. and whatever answer he might give, if he gives any, we'd both (well, me mostly. im's accustomed to the whole thing) end up highly strung out. and a strung out yana talks faster, talks louder, gets pretty animated and looks a bit cartoonish with all her exaggerated hand, leg and body actions.

and this is the issue.

y? y? y? y? y? y? y? y? y? y? (now multiply this seven fold and you get the idea of the amount of whys im gotta handle from me each time this issue crops up)

y are there people who would write in complaining bout teachers getting paid leaves? that they have too much free time in their hands wats with the holidays and stuff? now, any self-respecting teacher would know this isnt true. that holidays actually entails coming back to school to finish up all the admin stuff n such, but nevermind that for now. thats secondary really.

quite recently there has been hoo-hahs regarding a local blogger whose endorsements got cut off cos some very concerned sgean was, well, very concerned, about the image of the endorsers should they continue to dish out deals to this blogger who seem to be sprouting out the wrong things lately. i mean, poor her, but again, thats like; 25 mm off the point i'm trying to get at.

now, these may seem very trivial examples to illustrate my point, i concede. but nevermind. u want more examples, can talk to me good good and here me ramble on some more... trust me, i wont stop til your ears itch.

wat i m trying to say is; y do they bring out such issues? are these people really sincerely concerned bout the image of the endorsements companies? and how, oh how, does a few weeks of paid holidays, or so they claim, affect them or their school-going kids for that matter?

i have been trying to figure out y they bother bringing out such issues. too much free time? envy? covetous tendencies? are we really so resentful such that we die-die must try to take away what others have that we dont? are we?

ni betul2 kes tak-leh-tengok-orang-senang kind. cannot see people happy one bit...

what kind of people do these kinda thing? y we turn out like this? how to bring up our kids like tat? if people do this kinda things to you, you like or not? huh? HUH?

bring me these jokers, i knock their heads (hello, anybody in there?...nope... i guess as much) good good with sledgehammer, knock until got hole, then i stuff some sense into their thick, empty craniums.

i m no saint. m not trying to preach either. i guess, in a somewhat naive kinda fashion, i m still trying to make sense of my world. i was in the service industry, and tho brief, it really made me open my eyes big big, perhaps too wide even, to what kinda people our society's made of. it caught me a lil off-guard and threw me off my seat initially-not in a good sense naturally. maybe i'm just not cut out for the service industry despite my sup claiming otherwise, or maybe its just me. but even if they give me triple the amount to do wat i did, i'd pass. the nonsense from these people just aint worth it.

you keep the money, i'll keep my sanity.
