First Impressions & Sterotypes
I noticed that I always have strong first impressions about ppl that I meet.... and most of the time, the truth turns out to be the exact opposite.... Pretty strange.... So though I'm always wrong, due to my consistency, I could be considered extremely accurate in my judgement..... just take the opposite of whatever impressions I have at first.... This holds mainly true for all the ppl I am friends with, and the people I have liked.... though there are exceptions....
Why am I saying this? Cause today, I met xin's friend, Dewen, and the very first impression I got was that I was not going to like this guy.... Don't ask me why.... I tried to figure out what caused this adverse reaction towards him, but to no avail.... perhaps is the way he spoke.... but i can't pinpoint it exactly..... However, after talking to him abit, he seems quite an ok guy, though I still have this sterotype about him, that he would fall into my 'don't like' category... Perhaps, after a while more, this would change.... but first impressions die hard... though they eventually do die off....
So anyway, I indulged myself with 2 plates of fu2 jian4 mian4 for dinner today.... SHIOK! ahh.... felt so good.... never felt this good for quite some time.... or from about 24 hours ago to be exact, since that was when I ate my marine parade area ba chor mee.... haha.... After that, met up with the guys (vic, pt, kel) to tok kok and play games.... mk had to give them their x'mas gifts.... We had to go to vic's house since he was basically 'locked' up at home before calling it a day....
Forgive me, but I really have to elaborate more on this.... Though I'm somewhat amazed that in this modern day, there are still ppl who, over 21, are still subject to curfews and stuff.... i'm totally speechless when it comes to vic's case... A 5.30pm curfew?!?!? What the hack! That's nutz! Pt fondly refers to him as jailbird..... goodness.... It really sad, considering that even gals who are of a younger age can stay out until like 10.30pm or later.... Furthermore, considering the fact that he is studying overseas and is currently in his third year.... this curfew becomes even more illogical.... I don't know whether to feel pity for him, or to laugh at his plight....
But anyway, if I were him, I might not mind getting locked up.... His parents are damn rich, and he basically lives in a sorta paradise at home.... Bed, aircon, stero, laptop, desktop, grand piano, all in his room, with the exception of the piano.... His room is so big and comfy! Like some sort of 5 star suite.... Heaven!
I'll be waiting for the day I'd get such VIP treatment.... damn..... hope the day comes soon, or should I say even come at all....
