a matter of compliments
Sunday, April 23, 2006
before i go into my saturday night escapades, let me just say that i'm NEVER going back to dragon-i in fear of having to spend time in the bathroom worshipping my toilet bowl again.
as fancy as that place looks, i feel that i'm really forking out moolah just for the decorative efforts they put into that place and NOT the cleanliness of the food O.o
ok, granted that my tummy has probably gone to hell in a hand basket since i came home (with all the sexy nasi lemak and asam laksa ei?) and dragon-i was just the wrong place at the wrong time >.>
regardless, i'm still not going back :p
wow, being on poppy's dance floor was both a workout and sauna both at once. it's pretty disgusting if you think about it... rubbing against your unknown neighbour's sweaty body because everyone's squished to a point where breathing becomes an issue and not forgetting that lifting your arms up would be as fantastic as letting a nasty one loose in the middle of the crowd O.o add to that chaos: the heavy breathing, tone-deaf yell-a-long strangers who are really invading your personal space and trying to cop a feel O.o
so after the little mosh on the dance floor, i decided to go back in and mingle with the rest of the girls :D also because i thought i was going to pass out from the giddy scent of adrenaline still lingering in the air around me from the mosh ;p
after a few phrases of mindless chatter, i realized that most malaysian people can't take compliments O.o again, i said most and not all ;D
for example, let's take joo's friend, daniel (hi daniel ^^; no hard feelings if you're reading this hehe :D) ;)
so our conversation went something like this:
some person: wah! all you girls wearing black today?? planned one issit?
me: haha omg i didn't realize! call it female intuition!
*crowd laughter*
daniel: eh, i'm wearing black also, does that mean i'm female too?
me: nooooo, that just means you're special!
daniel: yah, the black sheep
me: oh come on! see, all your friends are wearing white and/or light colored shirts, you stand out in the black shirt and besides it looks good on you
daniel: yah yah, you're such a sweet talker
O.o
do i look like someone who's going to bother to blow smoke up your ass?! :p
if you dress like a complete tard, i probably won't say anything O.o chances are i might just sarcastically snipe at you if i'm feeling particularly nasty that night lol
seriously -_-
i mean, it seems to be the norm here to respond with a neutral and/or negative response when a compliment is paid. why? O.o
(keep in mind the variables here are strangers, semi-strangers and a new environment)
a typical "type a" example:
person a: wow! nice shirt!
person b: eh, nolah... this old thing?
come on, if someone pays you an honest compliment, take it! ^^;
don't be shy :D
what universe-ending catastrophe would come from accepting a compliment? ^^;
of course, then there's the "type b" example:
person a: wow! nice shirt!
person b: eh, nolah... this old thing? i think the color's a little off.
do you dress to not impress when you go out?
why bloody bother wearing that piece of rubbish if you don't like it?
might as well leave the house in nothing but a floor mat, amirite?
even if you are fishing for more compliments... that's the wrong way to go about it. for example, i might just shoot your ass down if i don't know you thinking you're being an attention whore. yes, chances are, it could potentially backfire and you'd find yourself face first in a pile of shit O.o
don't give me that humility and/or asian culture bullshit on how conservative we are. it's one thing to be humble and another thing to be down right offensive and irritating to keep flushing compliments down the loo. well, if you want to show the people you're talking to that you're constantly pessimistic, insecure and walk around like the earth is about to open up and swallow you whole from your miserable existence, then more power to you -_-
being a little more positive is a good thing! compliments are a good thing!
unless you know that person giving you the compliment is being a dishonest prick about it and is just trying to kiss your ass enough to make your bum shine and sparkle O.o
moral of today's story: learn to take compliments! :D big, huge plus if you give them out honestly too ^^; why not make someone elses' day/night a little better? xD
oh and yeah, not forgetting... dragon-i causes random whims to make haste towards your bathroom lol that is, only if you have my tolerance <3
