'Taupok can die one.'
Well, so there I was minding my own business in AJ when I got pulled down to the ground and taupok-ed.
We didn't think of it as a life-endangering kind of workout, because we've been doing it for 2 years plus(on me) and so far I'm still here, healthy and living. Maybe not-so-healthy, but still mobile, intact, alive.
Which is why I cannot understand why someone can be so pissed with me getting taupok-ed:
Fuck lah can you all grow up or not?
Or something along those lines.
I can't help but feel insulted. I know he's 17 this year. Who is he to call us immature? Then I thought about it and I realized that it's something to do with a lack of childhood.
Like, if I play with marbles with my friends when I'm 5years old, and X doesn't have money to buy marbles, he'd say something like 'Marbles niah'. Evidently a case of sour grapes here.
Or maybe it's because he was secretly hoping to be taupok-ed himself, but he doesn't get what he hopes for, so he deems it as an 'immature' act, simply because he doesn't get it.
Is he being very matured by calling us immature? The way I see it, when someone calls another person immature, the aggressor is trying to put himself in a better light, in the sense that he is 'more matured' than the person he is trying to victimize. After all, critics are critics because they've achieved a certain standard in the subject they are judging on.
Perhaps his rebut would be something along the lines of 'Like I care about a guy who doesn't even dare to say such stuff in my face.' Or maybe 'Who cares about people who blog?' Or maybe he won't even bother rebutting. But it's not like I'm trying to teach him something(seeing as he can't be taught--he is, after all, 'higher up' as compared to me and my small dick).
Don't think he'd have much fun in life though. Children have loads of fun. I like playing. Everyone does. Seems like he doesn't, or that his idea of fun differs from ours, and he wants us to conform.
Perhaps, fun to him would mean sitting with friends at a round table, playing poker 24/7, because poker is a game for matured people. And people at funfairs should never play taupok, but should all walk around, chitchat talk cock bond, play grab-ass, run around chasing each other, BUT NEVER TAUPOK. The more I think about it the more I think he's jealous that his friends are unwilling to taupok him. There's a difference between asking for a taupok and getting a taupok forced down your throat, and since he has too much ego to ask for one, sour grapes occur. Yea, the more I think about it, the more I think he's jealous.
Heard that he's supposedly a muscle-man. I saw his biceps. Not as impressive as Kai Jie's. Nothing good to say about him.
Eat shit.
The funny part: His female friend was beside him, and she was like 'Don't taupok, can die one. Someone died from taupok before.'
I've heard of countless of people dying in their sleep, so don't sleep. Some people get knocked down by cars when they cross the road, so don't cross roads. Some people die after they exercise(there's this guy who died after running 2.4km, blood vessel in his brain burst), so don't exercise. Some people get stroke during their orgasms, so don't sex. Some people get retrenched/sacked at work, so don't work. Some people get expelled from school, so don't go to school. The list goes on.
If I were to stop having sex because some guy suffered a stroke/died while having an orgasm, I might as well not carry on living. What's the point of living a life without so much fun when life is a gamble?
Humans speak weirdly. Observe the speech between friends, good friends, and people who don't know each other well. Fillers are always present.
Consider the cases below:
First case:
A: Ah that girl in class Blah had sex with me.
B: Really?
As we can all see, A's claim sounds outrageous. It's no wonder B asks 'Really?'
Second case:
A: Ah that girl is in class Blah.
B: Really?
Is the notion of the girl being in class Blah so hard to believe?
Don't think so. Which leads me to the conclusion that the 'Really?' is patronizing, and although it's polite to give a response to anything that comes your way, well, we can infer that politeness =/= best of friends. Being polite is being careful, and people are hardly careful when they are around with close friends, because they know each other too well to piss each other off.
But it's understandable, this kind of reply always happens.
In an MSN conversation, smileys/emoticons are used to fill up the lapses in conversation. If you don't have anything good to say, or if you don't know how to put something across such that it sounds friendly, you put a smiley.
Can you put a smiley in real life?
