Some people are fucking retards. I just received a phone call informing me of ongoing dissent regarding a useless presentation, and it has really pissed me off. I guess it is partly my fault for not picking up on subtle signs earlier, and hence not making an effort to nip things in the bud. But in my defence, I really have had more things going on in my life than I have cared to tell anybody about, and I thought that for once, I could be one of the backseat slackers who just tag along for the free ride. WRONG. I should have just kept my fucking big mouth shut the whole time. Instead, I didn't, and have now apparently brought realms of injustice upon everyone else associated with me. And so I really need to vent a few grievances on this situation, and perhaps my Singaporean comrades in general:

1. Why do people not answer simple questions? Either you have seen the case, or you haven't. Either you want to do it, or you don't. Do you have NO FUCKING BRAINS? Or just NO FUCKING VOICE?

2. Don't shut up when you have 10000 things to say, and then bitch about it later. It makes no difference if you don't speak up when you're supposed to.

3. Is it really necessary to spend THREE HOURS whining about doing something which can easily be accomplished in half of that amount of time? The job is not that difficult to do. JUST FUCKING DO IT AND SHUT THE FUCK UP.

4. If you're going be dumb about it, at least be consistently dumb, rather than act mute during the discussion and then make wise ass comments about how YOU would have done things differently later.

5. If you think YOUR way is superior, and are going to continue thinking so no matter what, then why don't you have the balls to say so and let everybody judge for themselves?? Must you be a fucking infant about everything???

Damn. Sometimes I really don't understand our culture. I don't think that we are (intellectually) inferior to our blue-eyed / blonde-haired overseas colleagues, but we certainly act that way in terms of social skills. Why do we not know how to hold a conversation as well as them, or just hold OURSELVES publicly for that matter? Singaporeans are so lacking in interpersonal skills, and the average one of us is so average that he has little charisma whatsoever. And I know that everyone will have their own views on the situation, as we are each entitled to have, but I won't deny the fact that this really bugs me from time to time. ESPECIALLY in times like this, when I find myself faced with a group of morons who seemingly only know how to complain rather than do any actual work to improve things.

And a lovely night to you too.
