confessions of a DB..[ 12:56 AM ]
i really envy those ppl who happen to haf spare cash n thus are able to buy their seat on e train to higher education.. n den there's those who really work hard juz to earn dat seat fer emselves, havin to juggle btw werk n studies.. those ppl, i admire.. fer e former bunch, it's really despicable when i hear stories of those lucky sods not concentratin on their studies n party harder instead.. i mean, dun dey realise how many ppl out there wld gladly trade places wit em?? dey juz dun see how gd dey've got it goin on, i s'pose.. probly e fact dat dey were born wit silver spoons in their mouths n havin things fallin smack onto their laps all e time totally damaged their ability to appreciate their fortune.. but let's not generalise these rich folks.. i noe those who dabble n indulge in their vices all e time are probly juz a handful out there coz i personally noe of those who really n actually study more than anythin else... dey're there to get their degree n dey're gettin dat doggone degree, even if it means passin up e chance to be a social butterfly.. n dey wun juz stop there, dey move ahead n pursue dat masters n wat-haf-u.. n mind you, dat takes a lotta discipline n girth.. which i can only dream of havin..
sometimes, when i sit ard, i start to wonder wat's in store fer me once i decide to give dis job up fer gd.. i mean, i haf no paper qualifications n dat's like e major requirement fer any decent jobs nowadays.. i wldn't be surprised if dey expect taxi drivers to haf diplomas in e near future.. den i'd be stuck in a rut again since i dun drive either!!! probly i shld take my econs lecturer's advice n juz get married to a rubber tapper boyfren in m'sia.. hey, at least he's his own boss, init? hehehehehe... but is there still money in e rubber market? n no, i'm not talkin abt e contraceptive kinds, i'm sure there'll always be money made from dat one!!! LOL!!!!
so yeah, it does make me mad when i get belittled due to e fact dat i dun haf my 'a' levels cert.. which effectively makes my 'o's my highest qualification.. which is really nothin in dis day n age.... granted, i dun haf dat higher level of education but dat doesn't make me any dumber than those grads.. does it?! probly dey'd be able to hold betta conversations involvin politics, philosophy n shit liddat but does dat really make one a betta person? i mean, yeah, when someone i'm talkin to shares e fact dat dey're double, triple degree or even phd holders, i do feel a tad smaller.. i do doubt myself n begin to wonder if i really shld continue talkin to dis person in question.. i mean, i dun wanna feel dumber than i already am.. but den it hits me dat these geeks (no offense) are afterall human beings as well.. e same red blood flows thru their veins as well.. (if u dun consider e 'blue bloods' of coz... hahaha.. lame attempt there!) n not all of these 'gifted' one talks to e rest of us under-achievers as if we're lesser beings.. nope, no condescendin tones, no dismissive gestures n e fact dat dey actually listen, dat makes these learned ones more interestin n more, in a way, bigger than their paper qualifications.. which boils down to dat age old argument of IQ vs EQ.. true, IQ will solve many of e world's puzzles but it's e EQ part which adds e human touch when anyone's tryin to solve any problems.. plus, it makes any given nerd more likeable..
which brings me to a particular reality show i once caught, titled 'beauty n e geek'.. it claimed to be more of a social experiment to see if beauty cld go along wit brains.. n of coz, each contestant had either or... dey din choose anyone who wuz blessed wit both attributes.. it wuz kinda interestin to see e way those hot chicks had to literally force emselves to not squirm or gag in e presence of those nerds.. while on e other hand, u also get to observe e way e nerds try soooo damn hard to impress e chicks.. hilarious n futile of coz.. but those guys deserve credit fer tryin n fer dat, i do find it kinda adorable... i mean, gimme a choice of any nerds, fat guys who haf a sense of humility or some hot adonis hunk who tink dey're god's gift to us womenkind or even e mankind; i'd pick e nerd n e fat guys any given day... i can't stand cockiness or anyone who tinks dey're all dat plus i still haf a thing fer e chubby ones... heheheh...
n den there wuz dat season of 'the apprentice' where e 'booksmarts'-those wit paper qualifications, were pitted against e 'streetsmarts'-those witout paper qualifications but r still successful in their own way i.e, entrepeneur, biznez owners, etc... i thot dat dat wuz interestin as well but fer e love of god, i can't rememba who won dat one n which camp he/she's from.. but i clearly recall an episode when one of those 'booksmarts' guys actually talked wit such arrogance n disdain towards e other teams dat it automatically made me mentally 'fire' him ala donald trump.. =P on anotha note altogetha, juz today, i caught a docu on autistic kids.. (it's a neurological condition dat causes some children to act differently.. check out dis link fer more info.. autism.org) it wuz abt dis boy from bangalore who caught e attention of experts in autism wit his ability to write wonderful poems.. he can't express himself in speech juz like you n i, but he can come up wit a poem juz off e top of his head, n he's only 11yrs-old.. well, those experts flew him n his mum over to london to learn more n i hafta say, i wuz quite impressed wit his flair in poetry.. (tanx to e narrative versions of his poems by e erm, narrator? heh.. =P) reminded me of dat boy, miko hughes' character in 'mercury rising'.. hmmm, i'm sucha tv addict man!! i mean, my last 2 paragraphs revolved ard some stupid reality shows, not e docu, of coz..!! proves how deep i can get huh? geez.....
newayz, i believe sometimes e paper qualifications one has doesn't make a person.. it's e effort put in in order to achieve it.. but of coz in some cases, e paper in itself very much makes a person change.. dey tink dey're mightier n smarter than e rest.. fer these ppl, i suggest stop livin off yr parents n learn a bit of humility.. dat's one word dey shld haf taught ppl like dat in e first semester of their very-much-sponsored course.. i mean wat's e point of havin all e luxuries n papers in e world if u dunno how to act like a decent human being.. after all, stayin in skool longer doesn't make one smarter.. there's many aspects of learnin.. n it's not only confined within skoolwalls... so, if anyone out there still tinks dat a paper qualification is all dat really matters, pls feel free to share wit me your viewpoints.. coz i personally din stay in skool longer than i'd luv to, so i mite be soundin like a real sour grape in dis entry.. i mean, c'mon, i dun even fill my blog wit bombastic words or entries of mind-bogglin arguments or theories.. i juz jot down wat i tink n feel n yes, i admit, i'm not those who blog abt anythin of deep n profound nature.. dat's juz not my forte.. probly due to my lack of higher education? n i dun wanna come across like any of those other pretentious ppl out there.. perhaps i mite be tryin to console myself.. tryin to validate my worth.. wateva itis, no one shld eva make anyone else feel small..
®dis entry is not in any way directed to anyone, wit or witout paper qualifications.. juz me 'voicin' out my thots.. rantin, if u will.. sigh... i juz feel so useless... so under-achieved... so dumb.. well, not really dumb dumb, juz not toally realisin my full potential.. n i feel dat dat's sucha waste.. tink donald trump'll wanna adopt me?? LOL!!!
