Insensitive

Went out yesterday


To support one of my friends, Andy for his concert at Victoria Junior College. He was the president which is pretty impressive as he passed flowers to the guest of honor at the end.


Then, we went down to vivocity for a late night movie. We watched this movie called Shaolin Shi.


Pretty nice but towards the end, the storyline got a little bumpy and the essence of the it got lost along the way. Pretty sad, I guess the writer got carried away somewhat.


Do go watch it though because overall, its still a fantastic movie.


One of my friend joined us only for the movie at midnight and he didn't do so well for his first semester and he said that he's very emo.


But I think that's okay but what's not okay is that he starts to say that we did well because our modules are easier and so on and so forth.


He even told my other friend that FASS is easier man. And that Macroeconomics is easy, like maths only, wait till he come over to NBS.


I thought that was pretty impulsive and insensitive of him to say that kind of things. Every faculty has their own difficulties and there's simple no basis for comparison. It is not fair to say that other people's modules are easier when you yourself did not take it in the first place.


On top of that, does it comfort you to criticise people that way? At the end of the day, the harsh truth is that they are still better than you. That's a fact.


I'm quite sad for him. Standing at Age 22, he's still so immature and insensitive to other people's needs and feelings. He still continue to talk without thinking through his head first. Always expecting the others to tolerate him and pamper him.


We might be able to do that for now. But in the long run, it is him that will suffer especially when he goes out to the workforce.


Another thing is that he has a lot of hot air. I remembered that after the A levels, he didn't do so well and he was so agitated. He vowed to study for University and swear to get good grades. In the end, he didn't even put in much effort. Now, after he screwed up the first semester in University, he once again says impulsives things like he will not continue to stay in the hall, he will leave it there to rot. He will study and do tutorials one week in advance and he vow to get As this time round.


Again, a lot of hot air. Lots of form, but clearly there's no substance.


He's merely rampaging through his way like a mindless animal without any clear strategies. All talk, no action that is.


Well, let's see how Semester 2 turns out for him. He better buck up or else he has only himself to blame at the end of the day
