Youngsters nowadays...
I think I am aging.
Not physically(ya, I know I MAY BE, but am still in self-denial!).
Here's what happened that led me thinking to my aging self:
I was on my way home on a jerky bus today...the bus driver was speeding all the way. Suddenly he stepped on the brakes and everyone almost fell forward!
I was lucky and held on to the railing. The girl behind me took a big step forward and nearly fell onto me. But she hit the railing in front of me instead. Just then, the 2 guys behind her also fell forward and landed "zhun zhun" on her.
How convenient.
I thought, maybe it was just an accident that they so happened to fall near her bosoms.
So fine. Didn't wanna raise any false alarm.
Then the journey continued with the reckless bus driver speeding thru the expressway and SCREEEEEECH!!
Again the bus jerked!
And the incident repeats itself.
I couldn't help but pitythe poor girl behind me. Appeared to me that she is being harassed.
So I whispered softly to her about the 2 guys' act...
She was shocked, but thanked me gratefully for warning her.
Then she began to chat me up.
From where I was heading, to what school I have attended.
I suspected she felt uncomfortable as the bus was squeezy and she had no other space to move to and thus sought comfort in conversing with me.
So I played along.
Eventually, we both realised that we were both from the same JC!
Just that I have graduated 7 years back while she is still waiting for her 'A' levels.
Darn. Heaven is unfair.
But never mind, seems like she lacks the maturity I have (I hope!)
She was all excited about us being seniors and juniors and insisted that I gave her a "high-5" on the bus with 30 pairs of eyes watching 2 strangers talking.
Being the good-natured and kind me, I joined my palm against hers and attempted to look "un-awkward"(I know there's no such word...)
My God! What was this little girl thinking?!! Not a very mature image I am trying to maintain!
Anyway, we got off at the same bus stop and I walked her to the MRT station as it was rather dark. She was all keen about talking about her hoildays plans and wanted to share with me. However, she decided to summarize as it's a loooong plan.
Wow...Hoilday plans = DO nothing.
Anyway, she asked for me hp number and wanted to keep in contact.
In an attempt not to appear rude, I gave her my number and she insisted on giving me hers.
WOW. Can see this girl fitting perfectly well in the job scope of an insurance agent.
Tsk~
Youngsters nowadays seemed different.
Back then, I probably wouldn't chat people up unnecessarily.
Youngsters now seems to accept the idea of "making more friends" everywhere.
And, their lingo is somewhat really different from what I used.
Gosh!
I'm really getting old.
I think youngsters now are far more adventurous, but have lower EQ .
they really need to polish up their EQ if they wanna survive in this future harsh environment.
Again, as youngsters, they never listen to advice.
So, who am I to advise them when I am not even their mommies??
sigh~
I think I should go and sleep now 'cos it's beginning to sound as if I am talking rubbish...
