Drink Drank Drunk!
hehe several days ago... i forgot when but me and 3 archi gals met up for dinner~~ it is nice to enjoy a nice meal and chit chat without anymore worries or tension at the back of our minds when all the submissions or exams are over.... yea~~~! At abt 10:30 we left home since one of them had to go off to accompany her mum for a movie. When I reached home, i got the sudden urge to watch the "Drink Drank Drunk" movie vcd that jo lent me. So immediately I sat down to watch.... hehe... very very funny!!!!
The show is very touching from the middle onwards... hmm in the show, the main actress said that one should not believe someone's words when he's drunk. Only honest and true words are said when they are conscious. However at the very end, the main actor said consciously abt his love for her. Then added that however a guy's words cannot be trusted, so should ask a guy when he is drunk. I think both sayings are true in their own ways. When u r drunk, u may say things that u would dare to take up in real life. so it is like not counted. But at the same time, when u are drunk, u lost the conscious mind to keep secrets. so wat he said then would most probably be true. SO.... WHICH ONE IS CORRECT????? or more correct.... oh who cares.... What i know is that I dun like to tok to a drunkard. or drunken person..... so ..... hmm....
Few days ago, I said something like drinking Choya to drown my sorrows.... lol some ppl come to tell me not to do that.... aiya, u think i really will go and drink to that extent? I think most probably I would take a sip here and there to find out wat it tastes like only. I still hold on that promise to myself that I wont drink, at least not unnecessarily.
On friday, while i was playing Conquer, I get to tok to this person inside. He happened to be from Singapore too.... hmm and then I followed him to this difficult place to train. He wanna lvl up so he needed my help to cast spells. At first I tot he is a nice person but after some incidents during the training, I realised he has attitude problem, pushing all the faults to me. As if everything I am wrong. He's bossy and full of himself... Keep saying his perfect plan spoil when anything wrong cropped up. From what i learnt in Human Relations and Management course, he is the Blind self.... He totally does not understand what he talks and says or presents himself is really pissing ppl off.... I really hate this kinda person but then after the problems solved, I still remained polite and tolerated with him until he finished his training in that place. At the end though we were like chatting so normally and laffing, however, i dunno whether he knows ornot, i have already pull a wall in between us. Maybe too transparent for ppl and him to sense it. I have this sense of avoidance. I will never want to ask him for help or anything in future. siam ar!! I cannot tolerate his attitude!! >.< I think not alot of ppl will tolerate him like i do in the game. some ppl already siam him le... i still tok to him at times lar... only at times. I have also learnt to be sarcastic.... lol... but wasnt that mean lar.
hmm for those still having exams, jia you!! going to be over soon!!! ganbatte!!
