I’ve been meeting people (the same old few people, sad but it’s a fact that the number of friends we used to hang out with eventually goes down in any form of statistics calculated, no need a mathematician to draft out a graph for you).

I’ve always believe that our human nature works in a way that we mingle, blend, socialize, chum in with people from the same circle. Well, at least I believe so. It does not really require each and every individual to posses’ similarities in terms of characteristics, thinking or mindset. Akin to a key-lock enzyme reaction, you’re either the enzyme or substrate in order to carry out a complex reaction just so that the end product will work out. I recalled meeting an old bunch from friends last two summers; it wasn’t the exact group which I normally hang out, a mixture of old friends in addition with one or two acquaintances that I’m habitually not fond of. Cut to the chase, our so-called gathering turned out to be awkwardly boring, tedious and exhausting. It caused a mild infuriating fatigue to my ear drums as well as facial muscles since I were to literally force them to work in action simultaneously just so that I am able to produce the most ‘genuine’ smile or grin of agreement. I’m not sure whether it’s because everyone has been majoring in their respective fields or just because of my personal degradation in tolerating what I call an endless gibberish and negative natter.
For example, the extensive lengthy nonsense about how ‘amazing’ your boyfriend is or vice versa; yes the number of roses you received, the size of the horrendous Hello Kitty plushie you constantly flood on Facebook with his name tagged onto it and acting surprised when he gave it to you. Crappiest thing I ever heard. Like I ever give a damn (unless he got you pregnant and you end up being the hottest gossip people share on Facebook).
Or the uncommon usual, of being extremely negative on my decision to take up Medicine and hopefully graduate as a doctor. Those drawn out, outpouring amount of negativity and discouragement, indisputably causing me to suffocate to death due to your pessimism regardless of the field of studies or simply when we talk about studies. If you’re not interested in what I am currently doing, it’s simple; just bloody shove a sponge soaked in elephant urine into your oral cavity, squeeze it dry and repeat the similar actions only with different levels of urine. My suggestion is to utilize cat’s urine or even better, a skunk’s urine.
Especially those who are unfortunate for them to be in the same field as me, but constantly, regularly, repeating around the cloak on how terrible the place of education is, on how lousy the education system is, how tormenting it will be when he/she works. Seriously, what’s with all this waste of time and money? Bringing out all those griping, dissatisfaction and chagrin during our gatherings, spreading your viral cynicism to everyone, hoping that everyone will feel as shitty as you are. Bullshit. People like this, are lurking everywhere… easily discovered when you’re asked out to fill in numbers while your friends and you congregate together under one roof. Go figure
Due to age, or simple because I have lost the high tendency to abide all sorts balderdash and baloney; but truth to be told that it is really difficult to sit properly and have a proper fruitful conversation with a buddy or two. I met up with Xun Jin and his housemate last Saturday, it was great I would conclude. Non alike of the above, but not only that it was pleasant but you tend to always gain a thing or two from people like them; rare but you actually felt that for once or maybe twice that you still have friends worth listening to.
