The Rant of the Week
Friday, October 26, 2007
So...I was on Sheela's blog and stumbled upon the issue of being "kiasu".Now, I'm not going to lie and claim that I did not participate in such vile and demeaning acts that are animus and could potentially have me ending up in my own demise. 'Tis a pleasant world we live in.
I am convinced that kiasu-ness still reigns supreme in tasha's book.
Examples are as follows:
- Yesterday I finally got my lazy-ass kiasu self to film club. The only reason I never attended film club and hung out with these deep and intellectual kids was because I always had some test the following day. ALWAYS. And me being kiasu, I never wanted to deprive myself of extra "study time"....and low and behold..one of my friends (who's currently beating me in the rankings damnit!!) , who actually attended film club, manages to score a higher grade on the test! WTF?? Am I dumb? Maybe...Kiasu? No question.
- I get so fucking annoyed when people who are dating start showing so much God Damn affection in public. PD-frickin-As could easily make me end up on death row in jail 10 times faster than what I expect now, since I'm pretty sure I'm going to be convicted of manslaughter one of these days; and by these days, I mean in my 30s (My boss'd prolly be the first one to go - nobody orders me around and makes me look stupid damnnit!) But...could this hidden almost "non-exsitant" anger be caused from something totally unrelated? Like...let's say....kiasuness? Maybe I'm just jealous that I don't have a boyfriend because I'm a moronic workaholic whose chief concern is getting into a top 20 school and would not want some lovey-dovey romance side-lining my priorities. (Rice! Do you hear me? I promise I won't kill anybody if I get accepted :) Now, isn't that a good offer?)
........
Oh god. I've just offered to not kill people to bargain my way into college? Hold the phone..I've just ranted on about wanting to kill people in my 30s? Wtf is wrong with me?!
Omg..bloody kiasuness - look at that! I can talk about killing people because of it! HAH! I challenge anybody to topple my kiasuness. There!
Anyway..I'm going to make it up to you seeing as you managed to get this far "tahan-ing" my rant :S Here's some amazingness in a man, following my new found James Dean obsession that has unfolded yesterday after watching East of Eden at Film Club:
