So today my classmate told me about a certain insulting notion spreading around about me. I'm used to being hated, actually- with my character being so rude and blatant it's not an unusual thing. What pissed me off was
I didn't even know this guy wtf. I honestly had to think for a minute or 2 before I could come up with any incident of our interactions which were 1) I sat behind him in math lecture last year 2) I debated against his class in the Inter-CTG debates. Apparently my character must have stood out a lot because just from these 2 events, he conveniently decided that I am whiny, arrogant, and even labelled me as
The Elephant in the Mini Skirt. Couldn't get my mind off it so I decided to blog. Quite sad that after so long, the only reason I'm blogging again is because of ignorant idiots like this guy. Ohwell, whatever works.
1) I'm WHINY
Concluded from a 2 hour lecture sitting in front of me, how lame is that -.- So according to him, throughout the lecture I was whining and complaining about the confusing content and heavy workload to my friends, thus annoying him and thus led him to the conclusion that i'm whiny.
Granted, I am whiny at times and I tend to be angsty during math lectures, but who the fuck are you to conclude that for yourself after 2 hours? Last year our math teacher was Ms Ng/Mdm Phoon whom, as most people know, is a strict and somewhat rigid teacher. How the hell could I have complained throughout the whole lecture without her scolding me or asking me to shut up, and how was it loud enough for you to hear but not her, considering we were sitting at the 2nd and 3rd row? And even if I was that irritating, why didn't you just turn around and ask me to shut up? I'd have definitely apologised and shut up if you phrased it politely. Instead, your cowardice prevented you from a direct conversation with me and led you to spreading silly and immature rumours about me just to take out your annoyance.
2) I'm ARROGANT
Okay this one is just so ridiculous I can't believe it myself. Since I couldn't have been bragging about my non-existent math skills, I conclude that you must have drawn this conclusion from the inter-class debate. It was the Quarter Finals and since only 8 classes made it, I obviously put in a lot of effort into my speech and rebuttals and so did your team, seeing that their speeches were well elaborated and examples meticulously researched for. In contrast to the speaker before me from your class, I was a loud and aggressive speaker, no doubt, and I may even have came across as condescending at times. At the end of my speech my class even cheered my nickname "borah" damn loudly and I laughed uncontrollably, possibly coming off as arrogant as if I was so sure I'd win. I'm guessing that you were led to think that I was some arrogant and proud bitch who has no sense of humility at all.
Erm, need I remind you that it was a fucking debate? What, you expected me to go up there and be all humble like, hehe my speech isn't the bomb but I hope you listen to it anyway and let my team win ?! One of the main essence of debate is to go up there and be so convinced by your argument that you persuade the judges and audience along with you- that's what makes a good debater. Not saying that I am one, but I was definitely trying to be one. Yeah, I may be a wannabe and shit but the point is that my arrogance was brought out through the process of debating!
The fact that you concluded this through a debate makes me wonder how dumb you can get, seriously. You're a councilor, you know what it's like to address a crowd. I've seen you do it and you're relatively good at doing it because of your confidence. Would it have been fair for me to assume you're arrogant and proud just based on that? Given the circumstances, it'd have been acceptable to be arrogant because the occasion calls for it. Same for debate or for announcements or whatever you do.
Even so, I admit that I'm an arrogant person, even outside of a debate. I'm proud and unashamed of my confidence, although granted, it may be over confidence at times. But since I have no consistent interaction with you whatsoever, I really don't see how that should bother you. You just go around and hate all the confident people you see? Only favouring those who are humble and possibly insecure? Really don't get how my arrogance made you hate me this much and even spread it around in school.
3) THE ELEPHANT IN A MINI SKIRT
Quite a good label, actually, but I'd have come up with something better like Hippo Wrapped in Cloth or something like that. But since this is the limit of your creativity then so be it, I shall deal with it as it is. So this phrase has 2 connotations- 1) I'm fat 2) My skirt is too short. Since they're both too big an issue to address together, I shall do it separately.
Firstly, the idea that I'm fat. No shit Sherlock, I'm fat, obese, overweight, and whatever disgusting terms you can come up with for a fat person like me. Question is, WHAT'S IT TO YOU? You just have a prejudice against fat people? Or just an obsession to the point that you look for my picture on the CCA leaders board just to make fun of my double chin or fat face? I am fat, ergo, you detest me. Well you must be quite hateful since quite a few people are fat. Or have you decided that once a person is fat, their character and personality is equally gruesome and disgusting as their physical appearance? If my fats are so repulsive to you, just don't look at me lah. I mean, how often do you see me in school anyway. Why keep harping on my fats and telling this obvious news to everyone, does it make you less nauseous? Immature and despicable.
Secondly, that my skirt is too short. Okay this is just plain dumb. My skirt isn't even that short. Granted, it doesn't touch my knee, but same for 90% of the girls in YJ! Even so, my skirt length got cleared when I emceed, presented awards, and went for debate competitions representing our school. If the teachers approve of my skirt length, who are you to determine that it's too short? If my skirt length is considered a miniskirt to you, you'd probably get a hard-on when you walk down Orchard Road, where girls strut around in skirts that barely cover their ass.
And even if my skirt is too short, you're being spiteful because of that?? Wow you must be a person filled with hatred then, hating people who are whiny, arrogant, fat and who don a short skirt- traits that are all not specific to me alone. Besides, shouldn't normal guys be appreciative of short skirts and more skin, or are you unclear about your sexual orientation? Maybe the sight of fat legs disgusts you and you wish my skirt were longer so there'd be less fats to disgust you. Sigh, really quite sad that people like you exist, hating people for the length of their skirt. Bet you wouldn't complain about a hot YJ girl wearing a short skirt though (;
4) You dragged the Student Council into this
You're part of the group of people who represent the interests of us YJCians and ensure that our welfare is maximised. True, some YJCians feel that the SLs are the school's puppets or dogs even. I have honestly never felt that way and I respect the SLs for their passion and willingness to commit, not to mention the incredible bonding between them. You told my classmate that your view of me was not held by you alone, but by other fellow councilors as well. I don't know how true this is, considering that it came from an unreliable source, and because I don't even know many councilors on a personal level and those that I do are very nice and there is no animosity between us. But since both cases are possible, I shall address them both.
Firstly, that the councilors do not support your view and you were just lying. That's honestly just damn pathetic lah pls. You're trying to drag someone in to show that I'm justifiably a horrible person why more than 1 person's standards, and the those students in power and authority detest me, thus further crediting your judgment of me. Probably cuz if you're the only who feels this way about me it'd sound stupid. But that would be very inconsiderate and spiteful of you to do so, dragging the Student Council's name and reputation down to one who make petty judgment of people and spread it around school, when in actual fact they aren't these kind of people.
Secondly, the view that the councilors also feel the same way.
Well then I'd really be quite upset that people who I had a certain amount of respect for are capable of such petty & childish behaviour. I honestly have little or even no interaction with most councilors and them having such a strong hatred towards me and even passing on this notion to the Student Council is beyond me. And you wonder why most people in YJ hate YJ when the SLs don't even promote unity among the students. It makes me wonder how many people you all have preyed on since I'm not a high profile person in school and the fact that you can source me out just to point out my flaws makes it so believable that you'd do that to other people as well.
So in conclusion, I'm just astounded that a person I've never talked to could hate me for the stupidest reasons. Best part is I had a good impression of you when you went to present your campaign and laughed at your self-proclaimed nickname, lame jokes in math lectures and even voted for you during elections. Seriously this was so uncalled for. I mean, I don't mind people hating me, but at least for the right reasons right? If not you might as well hate the whole world. I personally only hate people who have affected me personally. So yeah, fuck you and your childishness. Just to annoy you, here's an unflattering picture of me for you to remember me by (:
