Blown Away By The Gentleman

Was shopping at Mustafa for stuff I needed for my new outlet, and since Yau Ching was free, he helped by reminding me about the things I needed and tried to make me purchase stuff I didn't need as well.

Anyway, Mr 'Playboy' Yong, as he was once known as about 5 to 10 years back, always made me wonder how in this world a person like him could get so many girls to actually take notice of him, let alone get so swept off their feet that he would be able to con so many into going out with him. Apparently, he looked a lot more handsome back in the day, according to another colleague who knows him longer, and at the point I got to know him, he grew a lot fatter. :p

His personality definitely didn't impress me, and in some instances, actually pissed me off. And since I never noticed him even though we apparently were within arm's reach of each other quite a number of times, I obviously wasn't impressed by him.

However, this one time shopping, he did something that not only took my by surprise, but it did make me realise that he has little tricks up his sleeve. I wondered if he actually was such a nice person when he was in his playboy prime, and probably was one reason why many could've been impressed as I was. What he did was simply just insist on carrying my bags, and actually kept the door open for me to walk through. I guess it's simple, but just because it was unexpected, it was rather impressive - to see that he actually can act like a gentleman.

I wonder what other little tricks he has....

When You're Finally Willing To Listen....

Someone advised me that they would let me in on my weaknesses if I was willing to listen, and after listening to that line, I couldn't help but wonder what in the world the person had to tell me about myself that I didn't already know. Another thing was, this person obviously didn't know me as well as they think they did by telling me to be willing to listen.

Then the day comes and what do I get to know? Nothing really. For whatever that person had to tell me about my weaknesses, I already knew. In fact, I could've actually told this person a few more things about whenever I get angry, I get angry at the person, and the person only. However, if I am angry, it's better for anyone around me not to have me talk than have me spewing vile words that might burn unnecessary victims. Then another thing is if I'm angry with myself, it's better to just leave me alone and let me cool off, rather than have some people act cute and try to make me laugh. One more thing is that if you feel that I'm giving you some shitty attitude, it's probably because you're the one who pissed me off.

Anyway, I was willing to listen till the point you just told me what I already know, and then I switched off. So now the question is, are you ever willing to listen, or is your speciality just talking?
