Yesterday as i was sitting on the bus home after soccer, i overheard a conversation from this bunch of pimply faced nerdy secondary school girls... it seems to me the whole talk was about their academic pursuits... and there was this very irritating fat cheena speaking girl who just can't stop talking, or rather bragging about how smart she is and how she got into a top school... great... just when i needed a quick nap on the ride home... what astound me was how she so unashamedly asked one of her friends how she landed up in geylang methodist secondary school instead... how i bloody wanted to say to her: "Hey fat girl... whats your f***ing problem? just becos you got into a top school doesn't mean it gives you the right to bring down others..." This inadvertently highlights another social problem... kids nowadays are so academically inclined that they lack the necessary social skills to interact with people around them, i.e. they are simply not sensitive enough to how people feel... they are careless with their words and don't give a shit to what's happening outside their books... Wait, i can relate all this to one person... yes, thats right, my good-for-nothing sister!!! Arrrgghh... my blood is starting to boil again... how could such people survive in society??!
