Friday thoughts and sights

Video playing : Rehab (Amy Winehouse)

Common sense

You do not make friends by cracking jokes on their extra pounds on first encounters.

Come this friend of mine who recently met this person in a party organized by one of our friends.

“This bitch shook my hand, introduced herself and told me that I have a beer belly. A beer belly? You could tell me I have a beer belly, but what gives her the right to tell me, someone whom she hardly know, that I have a beer belly?”

Belly overload. And the person, free-free kena called a bitch. Sangat marah this friend of mine.

Granted, she did confess to me that she does have the belly of a beer drinker, but that coming from a stranger whom she have just met seconds after the first handshake, have to admit, even I feel that it is absurd.

What can we call these kinds of people? Inappropriate? Clueless? Ignorant? Insensitive? Straightforward? Or just plain dumb and idiotic?

There is a thin line between being forward, in a good way and in being too obnoxiously forward. In this beer belly incident, the person, whoever it was, was obnoxious (and a few other negative characteristics listed above). Having a flat tummy doesn’t mean that you could put other people’s beer belly down. All the more if you barely know the person.

I have never personally been on the receiving end of such remarks. Considering my short temper and my 24-7 sarcastic mode, I don’t think I could keep quiet. I have always been civilized in meeting people. And I also try to not meet people I don’t like, much. Even if I have no choice, I would steer away from them and mingle with those I feel comfortable with and those whom I, like, better.

Again, it’s common sense wot?

Kiosk dilemma

I was listening to Fly FM this morning in the car on my way to work.

I guess by now, everyone should already know that we might have to fill up before 10 PM in the future.

Personally, I don’t think it is such a big deal, speaking from a consumer’s point of view. I have always make it a point to pump up earlier in the day and I think all drivers should know that they should refill their fuel before any long distance drive, besides, the kiosks on the highways will remain open.

But from the nation’s economy point of view, wouldn’t closing earlier affect the overhead cost in a way? And then we would also have to think about how crowded the kiosks would be if everyone just decided to fill in around 9 pm.

Overall, I don’t think it is a practical idea as I do know some of my friends who preferred to fill in at night. But should they decide to implement this ruling, I don’t have much of a problem either, as long as it doesn’t affect the petrol price I have to pay for my daily commute.

I guess to each his/her own then.

Twisted

I was driving in front of a woman this morning. She was driving a Viva.

From my position, I could see that she is well groomed, with slightly tanned skin, wonderful luscious pouty lips and a beautiful face.

She was gorgeous in my eyes, and if you knew me well enough, my definition of beauty is different from other people’s. I don’t see having fair skin as a bonus, and I am more into details, things men and sometimes women, usually miss.

During that short halt of about 3 mins, I was wondering how it would be like to kiss her.

I am just twisted like that.
