Scaring Aunties And Taking Ego Trips.

Soccer, Wanderlust and Paradoxes.

Oh, stroker of my ego.
I tell you, there's no better way of putting a smile onto your face,
than coming home with sweaty armpits and feeling completely shit housed
then, proceeding to find out that some complete stranger has so publicly
stroked you tiny little ego.

Really, my ego is tiny.
Don't you believe me, you pompous over-inflated windbag?



Becca's Links.
Great Reads, no mistaking that.. Furthermore, I'm sandwiched between
Daniel and Fat Fingers two awesome bloggers that I really dig.


That's more than enough evidence to express how shit-housed I've
been feeling these past few days. What's the world coming to?
Getting so bloody excited about getting linked.

becca: haha! i rmb u leaving a comment in 1 of my posts a long time ago.
i liked ur blog alot, but forgot all about it. now im so glad i found it again.

Ahh...
Sweet Recognition, the things it'll do for your ego.
Besides, I've read Becca's blog before, quite irregularly,
and I think her blogs' kinda cool.

Ah.. Fabulous wit and sarcasm...

God, I'm Fabulous.
Heheh...

Why'd she have to mention Daniel though,
it was all going so well, then she had to mention Daniel.
Bah!
---------------------------------------------------------------

I think I might be recovering some of the my groove that
has so forsaken me the past few weeks.
Not my blogging groove though, the social life one.

Just this week alone, I've managed to scare two complete
strangers that've been pissing me off one way or another.

Take Monday, for example.
I had arrived to school slightly after the bell and as punishment
for nearly being late, I was made along with 50 others, to stand
around the perimeter of the school's parade square.

As luck would have it, there was an emergency teacher's meeting
going on and the flag-raising ceremony was delayed (by one bloody hour!)
I wasn't going to wait 'till the teacher's finished their stupid meeting,
it was early morning and I was bloody tired. I instead proceeded to leisurely
sit down, prompting the other nearly late comers to sit down.

'Aye, stand up lah! Sit down for what?'
Bloody, short pants.
Secondary one and you're already so bloody lippy?
You must not know who you're messing with, dumbass.

*Lazily glares*
'Do you have a problem? Why not stand up first, then I'll follow suit,
we'll settle our problems then, eh?'

Both set of friends grow quiet. His trying ever so hard to ignore him
while he tries to attract their attention as he ignores me. Mine instead,
begin to watch earnestly, anticipating my next move.

Instead, I continue to glare at the shortpants lazily, instead,
waiting for him to move, so I could gauge just how stupid he actually is.

*Racks up enough stupidity to become lippy again*
'But, but..'

*cutting in*
'You'd better think carefully before you continue,
unless you want me to expose the full extent of your stupidity'


Apparently, this doesn't sink in.
Dumbass. No wonder you're in bloody normal technical.

'But.. But..'

*cuts in again*
'If you really have a problem, just stand up and we'll settle it, alright?'

'Er, no.. But...'

*Begins glaring again*
'Shut up.'

'but-'
'Shut up.'

'but-'
'Shut up.'

'aye..'
'Stand up, stand up. If you're not going to shut up, stand up.
Otherwise, I suggest you just shut up and continue reading your book.'


Finally, he gets the message and begins to read his book.
Pfft. This event has just made me realize, what with all the 'studying' going on in school,
I've completely neglected building up rapport with the new batch of Sec ones.

God, with the Sec 2, 3 and 4's this kinda shit wouldn't happen.
They'd know better to give me lip and expect to get away with it,
the ones who do try to give me lip are plain stupid and either end up
nearly crying or ignored.

Damn, I've neglected my public profile!
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

Doesn't matter though, it seems that I've rekindled my ability to pull
off looking damned pissed and scaring off people by simply glaring at them.
Very useful ability, for scare off unwanted attention by
irritating little children/people.


Just today, after school, on the bus ride home,
I was assured of being able to scare off complete strangers.
(or at the very least middle-aged aunties)

On The Bus:
It was after school,
everyone was squeezing for the bus.
Students from 3 different schools in fact, all squeezing in the
stupid single-deck 98. The bus, naturally was packed.

I entered the bus, moved to the rear, as any considerate
student would, grabbed onto a hand holds and blanked out,
staring around lazily.

It was then, when I noticed the 'auntie' who was sitting in the seat in front
of me (or rather I was standing beside her seat facing her direction),
glancing at me. I stared back, wondering lazily, what she was looking at.
She looked away, I looked away.
I thought that that was it.

Who knew, barely a second later, she got off her seat and pushed past me to stand
in the front of the bus while turning around to stare at me furtively.
Wondering what the hell was happening, I just glanced at her quizzically.

She was still staring furtively at me.

I ignored her and continued to look around with a vacant look on my face.
A few seconds later, she pushed passed me to get back into the seat that
she had left vacant moments ago.

God, what a eff-ing weirdo.

She still hadn't stopped staring at me, like a scared little mouse she was.

A few stops later, she got off scampering away like a mouse,
still glancing up at me with the scared little look of hers.

I don't know if it was the messy hair, the bored look of mine,
the sweaty armpits caused by the heat, the heat itself or the school uniform
that scared her so much.

I'd like to think that it was my vacant expression. I've been told I look
like I'm trying to pick a fight when I put on that vacant look.

I so hope it's the vacant expression that freaked her out.

Then, I haven't lost my touch yet.
Fan-freaking-tabulous.
