Grow up, puh-leaze!

Some people are smart.


Some are such dim-wits that you start to wonder how they can survive in this world for all these while.


Some act as if they’re smart and better than the rest of the world when the truth is that they are just one of us.


Some pretending to be stupid when in fact they’re not.


And some people are just plain childish and immature.


The conclusion:

This world is filled with groups from all walks of life.


Some you idolize and learn from,


Some you pray you won’t grow up to be like in this lifetime or even the next,


And some, let’s just say that you feel sorry for them because they are beyond redemption.



The inspiration from this entry came the other day when I left a comment on one of my so-called “Facebook friends” after she had posted something.


The next day when I wanted to see if there was any interesting continuation to her sob story, I suddenly realized that I have been taken off her friends’ list and no longer had access to her page anymore.


Oh wow, what an inspiring act. An extremely tough one to follow.


It reminds me of my primary school days: after an argument with our best friend, we tell her “I don’t wanna fren you anymore.”


Like I give a damn.


I know what will follow will make me sound like a broken record but still, she left me with no choice but to say it again:

If you don’t like something, change it. The world will not change overnight just because you complained, complained and complained some more. If you refuse to embrace change, then maybe it’s time for you to just shut the hell up and accept things as it is.


Just needed to get this off my chest and for keepsake purpose under the ‘Just for Laughs’ section.


Come to think of it, maybe I'm the one who's supposed to change and stop complaining since no matter how many gazillion times I've said it, it doesn't seem to have any impact on these people.

but i feel u bebeh...coz in my lifetime (at least 1/3 of it), i've known people of all sorts of characteristics and mannerisms..yes most are well likable, a few still tolerable while a couple are just plain cwazee..but I so often find it a thrill/ challenge to see how far i can stretch myself to adjusting to these myriad of friends I have...so to think of it this way, doesn't make it so bad after all...God makes sure we all some role to play while we're still breathing on this earth...haha i better stop babbling before you start RE-categorizing me..gulp!

Dun worry, babe, you are definitely in my good books!

I agree with you that some of these characters really test your patience. If Malaysia doesn't have laws, I would have strangled a lot of ppl to death by now!
