Hx and I had quite an interesting conversation last night. How well do we know our friends?
As i stated in my previous post, it's all in the matter of a person's perceptions.
Let's give an example: Most of us see Edward as a slimy person or a person with 0 chance with girls. On the other hand there could be 1 poor blind misguided person who sees edward as a love master (gags! chokes! vomits blood!). Our lack of knowledge of a certain person prevents us from making a full and complete analysis of that character's profile.
So we shldn't make rash judgements on pple. In addition we show only 1 side of ourselves to pple and we act to become wat they think we are. Kind of hard to explain this. Easier way to say this is..other pple's opinions/expectations are what we strive to achieve. To mold ourselves to become what they expect. Eg: pple usually expect me to laugh all the time make quake jokes etc. Ok most of it is my own character playing a part in that. But that expectation "forces" me to sort of warp into that "funny" (since i know most pple think my jokes are quite lame) person
There is another side of us which we portray to others. An example will be HX. When he's with us, he scolds vulgarities, punches/pinch pple, abuses short leg pple by walking fast etc. But I AM SURE tht he behaves different in church. (at least i hope so)
Another example: IVAN!!!! He steals food drinks our patience from us. BUT I AM 1000% SURE he doesn't do it with xl.
So to friends we show 1 side, to special pple, we show another side. I'm sure that we also show another side to relatives right?
Notice this topic is different from my usual whinning and complainning posts? behold!! the new VICTOR!! who will still whine and rant, but to a smaller degree.

Wow...I din expect your blog to contain all that stuff...
I was pretty whiny yesterday so basically you were there to receive all that shit from me...haha...
What else do expect someone that stays out from home for more than 15 hrs and most of that time in sch?
Haiz...sch life sux...becoming more like a prison than a educational place.
Anyway, whatever you wrote in those two blogs, I think it's quite well written. Maybe cos it reflects what have been on my mind for some time...BUT...
Wait till YauHing leaves his comments here..haha..Can't wait...haha
You really think edward is the asshole I always make him out to be? An easy way to know him better is to read his testimonials. As long as it is not written by me, the truth can always be easily sieved out. No one can be the asswipe I describe him as and still have friends.
Yes we should not make rash judgements, but we have no choice! You cannot expect everyone to try to understand everyone else once they know that guy exists, and to avoid making "rash judgements" one must first understand the person to a decent degree.
And a first impression is very important. There are some aspects of everyone that not everyone else can accept, until they are really familiar with that person and forgives his bad habits. This can be solved by giving a good first impression.
A good example would be HX. He wasn't the kind to punch ppl and shout expletives at everyone when we first knew him.
BTW we all know hx doesn't shout at his mum "ChEE BYE!" when she tells him to fix his own dinner, or punch his dad when his hands are itchy.
And me! I never discuss the wrong things when I first meet someone.
BTW I talk the way I talk when I'm with you. (Somewhat arrogant? At least that's what I think it is) But.... well actually I do talk much the same way at home, just not about the same stuff.
Come on, don't tell me you don't know that everyone wears a mask?? But be careful what masks you wear. Wearing the same mask for too long can change what is the true "you" too.
So how well do you know your friends?
Hint: Listen to what your friends like to joke about. What people joke about can sometimes be what they're thinking right there and then! That is a simple trick that you shouldn't tell anyone not close to you. People may get to know you too well, too soon.
And HX whines! WOW!!! That's like saying that Ivan is actually plays piano. Next thing I see will be HX saying he will treat us for lunch *hint*.
School is a prison! The world is a prison. It is everything you see it to be! School can be a paradise to you too, if you put your mind to the right stuff. Look for Ivan for more information.
EDWARD IZ A LUV MASTAH!!! I GAVE HIM A DAM GOOD TESTIMONIAL COS HE IZ DA LUV MASTAH!! HIS LUV MASTERY IS TEH PWNS!!!! LVL 99 HUMAN LOVE MASTER~!@#$%^&*!!!! *looks worriedly at my puppy*
Actually I gave him an incredibly original (original compared to all the others that I have seen so far) testimonial so that I can advertise him like a bloody pimp pimping his number one whore. Just for the hell of it. And brush up on my english too :P.
The length of this comment is stunning. I cannot believe I typed a damn comment the way I type my other shitz. And whats more is that I'm typing this just so that the length is even longer! OMFG SMART IDEA!!!
And to conclude this and let your tired eyes rest, I'm not giving you another testimonial cos the last one was good, not amazing but good. Though you can delete it if you want a better one. I will see when I want to advertise you "like a bloody pimp pimping his number one whore".
Very interesting comments. Ever since yh commented on my blog, it made it more interesting.
I shall now comment on each of ur points
Ed isn't such a bad egg. Maybe slightly rotten and stinky but u know wat i mean.
A good example would be HX. He wasn't the kind to punch ppl and shout expletives at everyone when we first knew him. (HX WAS LIKE THAT WHEN I SAT NEXT TO HIM IN SEC 3!!! ok not too heavy on the expletives but punching? DEFINITELY YES!
i shld have said ed is a love guru. Couldn't think of the right word that night.
MORE COMMENTS!!! MORE!!!
He wasn't like that when I sat next to him... Hey wait! I never sat next to him in sch. but when i first knew him he seemed nicer than he is now. Much gentler i guess, but OCS prolly left some scars in his mind or sth
C'mon, you're to a fist as a piece of iron is to a magnet. You're small, you don't look all that strong, and you respond very nicely when you get punched! All that "ouch" and shit is very pleasant to the ears of sadists who like to punch others.
and ed is a love guru? that title should go to ivan. Or cheeyuan. Or hx. but NOT ed. and not me of cos.
btw theres a comment for your prev blog too.
