EXTREME KIASUISM OF A FUGGINGLY IRRITATING AUNTY.i always knew that singaporean parents were kiasu, but i never imagined them to be this bad. as i walked out of bedok library today afternoon, an auntie stopped me. i thought i dropped something or she wanted to ask me for directions or something so i stopped. she asked, in mandarin, if i was from vjc. so i said yes. she then took out some mock exam papers from her bag and started saying stuff like "These questions very hard", so i figured out she wanted to ask me how to solve them. but i saw words like "ELECTRODE" and "H-CCOOH-OOOH" or wtv crap, and thus realised it was chemistry so i told her im in arts i dunno how to do... she persisted, asking if i have a friend from science stream. (phoon struck me immediately lol) den she began asking if JC still has lessons, so i told her no, but we have PW. she talked a lot of crap, tried to ask me for my 'science-fren's' number etc. thought she wanted tuition, but in the end realised she wanted free help for her kid. wth la. i said nonononononono, but she persisted. started digging out my studying-life by asking me which secondary skl i was from, whether i took combined science or triple... on hindsight, IS THAT YOUR DAMN PROBLEM. she even asked me what my CCA was in secondary school and what i did in Art Society. Wth! I pour paint of aunties when they irritate me ok. -.- she even asked me what my higher chinese grade was etc. wanna know where the kiasuism came in? When she started asking me how i studied for my chemistry, english and chinese, which schools' mock exam papers AHS gave us to do, and worst of all, WAD QUESTIONS CAME OUT FOR ENGLISH COMPO, SOCIAL STUDIES AND ELIT DURING O LEVELS LAST YEAR. wth man does she think i am that boliao as to rmb o level questions such that i can answer some stupid aunty's question on 26 Oct one year later. i was like NO i cant remember....... -.- ok maybe that wasnt the worst. i really wanted to strangle her when she asked me for my King of the Castle notes. she din offer to buy them or what, she just requested i give her my hp number so that she can contact me and GET the notes from me. who the hell does she think she is, my relative?????????????? wth man, ive just known you, UNWILLINGLY? i shrugged off her request by saying that i dunno if ive chucked them, so after some useless persistence she realised i wasnt gonna give in i guess, anf thank goodness she shifted to another topic. ok not exactly "thank goodness" that i still had to entertain her. she asked me a shitload of questions abt higher chinese as well, and in between she dropped a not-so-subtle hint: "aiya so sad i dont have your number if not i can ask you..." i may be stupid for engaging in a conversation with you, auntie, but im not as dumb as to give you my hp number so you can harrass me. my gosh, to prepare her child for english compo, she makes her read JCs' compilations of GP essays. speaking of that, i think she wanted me to give her my VJC GP essay book as well. she was asking if VJC produces it and whether i have one, and whether we need to pay. wtv it is i got pissed and simply asked her "so kiasu for what?" and she was like "I WHEREGOT KIASU?!" talk about being so extreme you dont even realise you are. i entertained this stupid aunty for like half an hour, would you believe it? my stupidity as well. blame it on my niceness hmph~ i answered her questions patiently, of cos, until the point where i really really couldn take it anymore and i was just forcing a smile. well, too bad, she just had to bug me AGAIN AND AGAIN... after i answered a question and thought she was finally gonna say "thank you" and leave me alone, she started on another topic like she was having some PANEL DISCUSSION.. so, still being polite, i told her "aunty i have to go already". GUESS WHAT? SHE WALKED AND TALKED WITH ME. *pulls out hair* i tell you, in that instance, i was serioulsy controlling my frustration. i had some huge urge to scream "CAN U JUST F OFF ALREADY?????????" ive been controlling my use of vulgarities well, but sorry, this aunty was just THAT BAD. i haven been so vastly irritated by a stranger in a long, long while. what was i thinking when i decided to even entertain her. from now on, any aunty that approaches me, im gonna be on guard and the moment they ask me more than 3 questions about studies, im gonna say sorry ive dropped out of skl i dunno anything. love, ching
ching gave some lovin' at
