i was travelling home with xy from sch yesterday night. at bukit panjang, i met ester and heidi with their other Jeremiah friend. the moment they saw me, they started their hysterical high pitched laughs accompanied by little jumps all around the place. i cursed my misfortune meeting them. without further delay, they introduced Jeremiah to Jeremiah. it went like that:
heidi:"jeremiah, this is jeremiah." ester:"jeremiah, this is jeremiah." me:"hi." jeremiah:"hi jeremiah." heidi:"something irrevelant" ester:"something else irrevelant (something about the 7th month which i dun givvashit)" me:"alright, i gtg.. bye" heidi:"bye jeremiah!" ester:"bye jeremiah!" jeremiah:"bye my fellow jeremiah!" me (muttering):"bye.."
i walked a couple of steps what might seem 10 metres away before, jeremiah:"jia-li-mai-ya!"
needless to say, considering my unnaturally short temper these days, my blood was boiling. i've endured taunts like these since primary sch and yea, i'm used to it. but from someone this age? i was so tempted to hurl some obscenities back but something inside me restrained me. i continued walking forward without turning back. i don't know that guy, i've just met him a minute ago and such an impression he's left me of himself. trying hard to be mature and coolheaded, i somehow managed to control the anger bursting inside. well, like the Good Book says, if someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn and let him slap the left as well. i kinda did just that. i got a few arrows shot at me but all i did was walk away. painful it might be, at least i'm on the road to recovery.
