"You are the one who doesn't get my point. I know how you see those stares, which was why I explained to you those stares aren't necessarily so. You are simply thinking too negatively. You feel as if they are looking at you as if you are a fool. Has it ever occured to you that that might actually not be the case, but simply because personally, YOU FEEL LIKE A FOOL?
You sounds like you have a self-esteem problem. But you are fourteen, and I must say that is normal for teenagers your age.
You are also too pessimistic about Singaporeans. If you've read the papers, you should have noticed news of Singaporeans who went to the rescue of others every now and then.
I wonder if you will still be so forgiving, had the victim been your mother or sister or maybe when it's you yourself. "
we're looking at the event from different POVs, and neither of us feel like turning around and looking from another perspective. so never mind.
yes, perhaps, I DO feel like a fool. and I'm not going to be so naive as to say that I dont blame myself. yes, teenagers commonly have self-esteem problems. I'm not going to deny the fact that I also occassionally have such issues...
at the same time, I still do not believe that you understand what I'm talking about... but I shall not further elaborate, seeing as I dont think I could possibly make you understand if you havent personally experienced it before.
yes, I have a pretty bleak impression of singaporeans, though I love them. but, at the same time, dont you guys have a pretty bleak impression of rafflesians? if you guys choose to hate me for what I am, it's hard for me to just love you guys all back. yeah, despite all the smiles. it isnt fun to be singled out for belonging to something..
okay, nevermind, I shall not tie the whole rafflesian thing into this ...
never mind. you keep your views, I keep mine. deal? =)
I can criticise them with a clear conscience because I have given up my seat to those who needed it more, and prompted other people to do so if I was standing.
