look of distaste

this happened to me a couple of weeks ago in school. i ran into a good friend of mine who tend to talk pretty loud whenever he is happy and excited. his laugh is kind of unique too. it is some kind that you can recognise even from quite a distance away even without turning to look who is laughing. so yeah, there we were chatting happily about the modules we were taking and what not. school stuff.. so to speak. we were in a crowded environment, just outside the examination halls where everyone was anxiously waiting to enter and conquer another paper. somehow or rather, a group of insensitive students couple of metres away from us turned to look at my dear friend with a disgusted look. 


i never really take notice how unique my friend’s voice and laughter were until that moment. no, they still did not disturb me. what disturbed me was the fact that some of the people turning to him had their faces cover with a look of scorn and disgust. to that group of people, shame on you.

it is really sad how society can judge you instantly with simple actions.. even if such actions aren’t exactly harmful. you see, whatever we were chatting was a common chat topic among students. furthermore, his voice and laughter weren’t exactly loud comparative to the surrounding at that time. why would people still look at him with those looks of distaste? any non-idiot will now why they did so. nonetheless, if you know me well, i can be rather protective when it comes to friends and family members. though i did not confront them, i was just really angry and sad at their reactions.


come on, we have friends from all walks of life with different personalities and what not. shouldn’t one be accepting and not be easily disturbed by something that you might personally deem it as not so normal? well, i prefer to see such qualities as unique to individuals. how would you like the general public to pick out something unique about you and make fun of it? yeah, all of us have flaws but embrace them.. not show distaste. showing distaste is just toxic.

burnt

yes this is an update of my life.

yet another week of holiday has flown by. been more busy the past week and of course lacking sleep too. funny how things are right now. prior to holidays when studying is a mundane daily routine, i would lack sleep or would want to sleep more. during the holidays even without studying, i still lack sleep once in a while. i love  my bed very much but some how i still refuse to sleep on it for long long hours. maybe it is the though of wasting my holiday that drove me away from the bed. like sleeping don't allow me to have all kinds of fun and what not.. ohh wells.

anyway, the past week consisted of the two seniors' gathering for SCAMP and SOW. got to say the gathering was pretty alright apart from the fact that they were like a full day camp. honestly, i thought it would be more of chit chat and talk cock sessions rather than spamming games and what not. games are fine but just not what i thought a gathering would be.. heh. trip to Sentosa a couple days ago gave me two burnt shoulders. super painful now.. should have been more prepared for it haha.

also, finally met up with FoS floorball team for the first time yesterday. good start i guess. got to know one another and what not. got to play with one another to understand their habits and what not. hope of have more trainings with them and hopefully win more matches than we lose or draw.
