(I was thinking of having one blog post without singlish but just look at the title. haven't even start and I fail alrdy. )
I've always wondered why we (law yr3s) cannot really stand the yr2s (also law), or maybe it's just the few who I'm closer with who find them unbearable/irritating/noisy/and the list goes on. but this really amuses me. if I rmb correctly, we didn't really like them even before we saw any of them step into ilaw. speak about being biase. i might sound like im exaggerating but really. it's that bad.
this yr has been better. got to know some yr2s. even though most are not from law but that's a start. and guess what, they're actually not bad. i mean, how bad can they possibly get?! we're all human beings right?! in fact, im pretty close to them too and that further supports my theory of 'how bad can they get?!'
so anyway, today pq and I were having some random conversation and we realized one thing. compared to us, they are afraid/scared that people judge them bcos of their actions/words/things that happen to them. for me, I actually don't really care bout what others think/say bout what I do or say. as long as I'm not doing anything illegal or against my principles, it doesn't really matter. but to the 92s, other's impression of them have quite a big effect on them. and at the end of that conv we realized that maybe it's the difference in age but then again, it's not like as if the age gap between us and them is that big.
and while I was waiting for my bus to get home, I rmbed this conv that I had with mummy when she said that 91 babies are somehow very 'stuck up' as compared to kids born in other yrs. then the mathematician in me linked 'stuck up' and 'not getting affected by what others think/say'
stuck up = not getting affected by what others think/say
somehow they seem to tally and for once, i actually kind of understood why mummy thinks so. also, from that I realized yet another thing. in life, most things are not as bad as what we perceive them to be but somehow after we add our preferences into the perception, reality gets warped and we end up thinking negatively. just like that theory of not getting affected by what others say or think, being stuck up seems the same, but it reflects negatively on the subject. all in all, it's still how we look at people or things right? what matters ultimately is still whether we look at things in a positive or negative light.
somehow, I feel guilty for thinking negatively bout the yr2s before I even got to know them. =/ I actually feel even more guilty that you had to read this boring post. I thought this sounded meaningful but after typing everything out, it seems like it doesn't really have a point. ohwell. (:
P.S: agree with me? and please, im not referring to how meaningless this post is.
