Pet peeves.

Bah, I wanted to blog yesterday, but there was something wrong with my internet connection... I hate it when I feel like blogging, and I can't!

Grrrr!

Today I purposely woke up to go for my Tae Box, and when I got to the gym, the class was cancelled! This is the second or third time it has happened! WHY LIKE THAT! Don't they know that my Gold Coast trip is next week, and I only have another 1 week to exercise away my tummy! -____-

Obviously I have a lot of pent up grumpiness. And you know what ignited it all?

Yesterday, the day before, after my exam, I took the bus home, and I sat next to an ex-hall mate, who has just finished a paper too.
We started talking about Honors and grades, and I asked her how easy it is for Science students (obviously, she was a Science student) to get High Distinctions (equivalent to 80% and above) in exams. She told me that it was not easy per se, but it was doable.
So I replied, that I think Science papers are easier to score in, as compared to Arts, and Business.

And you know what she had the nerve to reply me??!!!

She said: "Oh, that's the difference between you and me; I think business is crap."


RAWRRRRRR!!!!!

I just replied coldly, "Oh, is it. I beg to differ. I have been a pure Science student all my life, up till university level." And only did she shut up.

So you know how hard was it for me to keep my cool, when all I wanted to do was to pour hot wax on her face and pluck off all the facial hair on her chin that were billowing in the wind!!!!!

ARGHHHH.


I hate it when students from other courses (usually Science-related ones) look down on Humanities and Arts students. And it is one thing to feel that other courses are easy, but quite another thing to call another course CRAP.
And I have been a Science student all my life before this, it IS true that it is harder to score in exams for Business. I am not saying that the course is harder, admittedly, the workload is less heavy compared to Engineering or Medicine, but it is not easy to score. In Science, all you need to do is know your facts. But in Business and presumably Arts, you have to persuade, you have to convince, and it is all very subjective. A very good example is that, when I was in Science, I only need to put in 60% of effort, and getting 70 and above is almost a granted; whereas in a Business course now, I'd put in 100% of hardwork, and getting a 75 is something that I need to be thankful for.

And I chose to do Business because I feel that it will leads to me where I want in life; I didn't want to be peering down mud samples for eternity. Take that, you man beard woman!


And don't even get me started on some of my friends. I KNOW that they think they are more superior just 'cause they are in Biotechnology or Engineering. The smirk on their faces when we Business students lament about our coursework! Oh, I just feel like giving them a tight slap! Just 'cause we are not in Engineering doesn't mean that we are of a lower intelligence than you! For your information, when I was doing Physics in pre-u, I was consistently the 2nd or 3rd highest in exams in my class (sorry, the guy who got the highest is really a genius, impossible to beat.. T___T), and all the guys would be trying to copy MY answers in class tests ok! STOP THINKING THAT WE ARE STUPID.

Arghhh.


And since I am on a roll here, let me go on with people who irritate me.

I can't stand people who claimed that they are shopaholics.
It's all fine and dandy when you really are a shopaholic, but I find that some people proudly call themselves shopaholics, whe all they do is buy one top per month or something like that!
I am a member of a couple of shopping communities, and some of these people, when they post up shopping posts of what they bought, they post up stuff like one top from Giordano and Padini, and get this, a vacuum cleaner???!! And they said that they are so satisfied and they are such naughty girls for being shopaholics.

???!!!!!!!????????

I call these girls shopaholics-- Sophia, Sofia, Jac. And maybe myself.
Mind you, I am extremely reluctant to call myself one, but there was once I told Smalls that I don't consider myself a shopaholic, and she told me that she knows of a lot of people that would. -_______-
But yea, these girls have GREAT taste, and the amount that they buy would shut all these shopaholic wannabes up. I mean, seriously? You call yourself an "excessive shopaholic", and you only buy an average of 2 tops every 2 weeks? Window shopping DOES NOT make you a shopaholic ok!




And oh my god, another stereotype that is being used too vastly is BIMBO.
I am not sure why, but being a bimbo seems to be a glamorous term nowadays, everyone seems to be claiming that they are one.
And I have no qualms against people doing that, heck, sometimes my friends and I have fun pretending to be bimbos (though I suspect we do have a bit of bimbo blood in us :P), and yes, I guess from the exterior, we do look like bimbos.
But what makes me roll my eyes is people who dresses like they came from the 90's (hello, Above jewellery is SO yesteryear), wear 2 inches thick spectacles, hate the color pink, buys clothes from Giordano (I am sorry, I really have something against the brand -__-), and THEY CALL THEMSELVES BIMBOS.
Cough splutter dies.
My sister is a bimbo! She thinks Milan is a separate country, she has nails that are 3 inches long, she refuses to go out without makeup, if there's something she likes, and it comes in pink, she'd always pink the pink over the other color, and her idol is Paris Hilton.
That's a bimbo, you who wear last century's crosses on black cords, ARE NOT.


And another thing I can't stand is people who speak in fake accents. Or pretend that they are white.
SERIOUSLY, WHO ARE YOU KIDDING.
I know of a girl (she's a M'sian who was born in country X but resided in Malaysia after that), who speaks in a perfectly Malaysian accent. But when she is around people of importance or that she wants to impress, she speaks in X-country's accent.
Do you know how fucking annoying is that? And your accent sounds fake ok? Why do you have to pretend to be something that you are not????
And oh my god, don't even let me get started on people who worships white people. So much so that they think that they are one of them. It's sad, from our view, where we are looking at you, with our head quirked to one side.
If you're a Chinese. Be proud of it. If you're in Indian, that's the FACT. Be proud who who you are, and for your roots, for goodness sake.

Hmm. Judging from all my pet peeves, it seems that I hate people who try to pretend to be something that they are not. Interesting.





And OH.. There's one more thing that really gets on my nerves. And makes me ill.
It's ugly people who camwhores.
-_____________-

I have nothing against ugly people, but please don't post pictures of you making act-cute poses or dressed skimpily! It makes me feel queasy, as if I was on a rocking boat in the middle of a turbulent sea for seven days. I just feel nauseous.
And if you are not good looking, please don't go around exclaiming that you are so gorgeous, and how you are the envy of everyone. And don't post 101 camwhore pictures of yourself, with the captions "Beautiful ^_^" underneath! Ugh, barfville.




Hmm. I think I am done ranting. I am SO getting my period soon! -__-
