today's test only served to bring to mind one all-time favourite pet peeve of mine. it is one that has been getting on my tits and my previously prepubescent chest from way back. it is when people congregate at wherever convenient to go on and on about the test or exam that had been completed. fresh out of a deafeningly silent classroom that would be wrought with tension, the only sounds being the rustling of papers and frantic scratching of pens, the last thing i would like to do is think about and turn over the answers in my mind. oddly, many of my friends seem to beg to differ. from primary school till today, singaporeans will never change. i keep thinking, these people must be sadistic, to want to loudly proclaim joy at correct answers according to their painstakingly meticulous notes and groan and sigh with enough drama of a bollywood production; funnily, these are the very people who would be as far removed from sadomasochism as bush from mensa. as a quiet observer, my findings have reavealed that these are also the very same eejits who would publicly make it known that they 'fail one la'. hello, some consideration for the people like me who actually fail please. while waiting for caren with fran after catching house of wax, which was actually quite enjoyable in its b-grade glory, we had a rather long chat. at some point, the topic conversation steered to my blog and specifically one of my entries. void of reading material today, i replayed that conversation in my mind on the solitary ride back. amongst my scattered thoughts was my wondering if revealing my blog address was a wise move to have made. as i have strongly expressed in the-blog-that-disappeared, i rather dislike clarifying myself. granted, i did do that to fran in our conversation but only because it was a misunderstanding of what i said, perhaps i am not well-versed enough to translate feelings to words, but all questions were cleared, all is good. however, to the people i do not find it in me to bother explaining to, it is wholly up to you, to take what is expressed here literally or figuratively. as i was saying, there are times when i wished this space remained anonymous to my classmates because i've found myself censoring thoughts i wished to manifest here, savoury or not, because i don't wish to burn bridges i've yet to erect. also, it would be really silly to kindly request everyone to stop reading, because forbidden fruit is always sweeter. what's done's done. i can only enjoy the compliments and take in stride and keep in mind any constructive critism you guys have to offer. leftover rosti is a calling and i'm off to answer.
