I hardly come to terms with people who call themselves talent. No need for explanations. It gets on me.

But at the same time, I get annoyed by people who undermined themselves. Like, I’m a slow runner but I run 10k in less than 40 minutes. That gets on me too.

Then there are people who have awesome profiles written in bad english, of which I have absolutely no tolerance for. I’d like to think if you want people to read what you have to say and convince them in the capacity of your words, you shouldn’t be putting them off in noticeably unsound english.

And I guess there’re a lot of people who can’t give shit about sound grammar, because we are not caucasian. Then when asked to speak mandarin instead, they claimed they are in a multiracial society. It brings me to wonder what exactly does it mean to be in a multiracial society, and how different is a chinese in china different from a chinese in a multiracial society?

Grr, singlish is here to stay. Bad english isn’t. Get it?

Oh, and some people change for the better dramatically. Guess we all need time. It makes wonders.
