'Nice' is a over-used and over-exploited word. At least in RGS the word 'nice' is used to describe almost everything, ranging from food, to teachers, to personality. For instance, when I ask someone how does a food taste like, they tell me, 'it taste nice'. Okay so it taste 'nice'. How nice? They don't know. What happen to 'It's rather delicious' or 'It has a sour taste' or 'YUMMY'. All that you can come up with is 'nice'? Then when you ask people to describe somebody, they first thing they will say is 'she is nice'. Okay, so I get that you don't really know how to describe a person. What happen to 'helpful', 'kind', 'friendly'?
Also, people have different definitions of 'nice' and different ways of using that word too. I, for one, use the word 'nice' to describe people as a mean to get out of awkward evaluate-that-girl or how-is-she-like questions. Or when people ask meabout a random somebody in class who I know nothing about (at least very little) and I just thought she looks pleasant. Pleasant as in, she don't look like those kind of people who back-stabbed and do things like that.
I can't stand it when you ask someone: 'Hmm how is she like?' and they reply you 'She is a nice person.' Like how the heck am I supposed to know how nice is like. I mean, somebody can be nice just because she say hello to people everyday and smile at you. Can't you use descriptions such as 'she is helpful or she don't bark at people for no reason.'
Then again, why do people like asking you questions like: 'What do you think of her, how is she like?' If you can't evaluate for yourself one's personality and character, asking other people won't help at all. It seems that at times when I try to talk to somebody, it somehow rocket off to how a certain person is like, no matter how much I try to change the topic. Gee, why care about how somebody is like. If you think a person is like that, then let it be like that. Why do around asking people to make sure they think the same as you.
I also cannot stand some people who interrupt your conversation with someone else. A typical one goes like this:
Me: yadayadayada
Friend: Yada ya ya ya
Me: Yada I think it was quite cool
Person out of nowhere: What was quite cool?
So after a few times of such interruptions by the SAME person I decide to ignore her in case I lose my temper.
Me: yadayadayada
Friend: Yada ya ya ya
Me: Yada I think it was quite cool
Person out of nowhere: What was quite cool?
-me ignore person-
Me: yadayayda
Person: Hey hey what was quite cool?
Me: yadaydaya -continue ignoring-
Friend: Yeah, that was spectacular
Person: What was spectacular?
At which point I decide to either shout at her to shut up or move away and continue the conversation somewhere else. I usually chose the latter.
I already hate it when people interrupts me. What I hate more is that the person is interrupting, plus poking noses into other's conversation, one that was supposed to be like private and personal, and yet do not get the hint when I ignore her. You know interruptions are rude already. So if one does not have the manners, at least have common sense, right? If me and a friend are having a conversation, and it is only the two of us, that means that we obviously are talking about a subject that only the two of us know, or at least a outsider might not be able to understand, right? Then if only the two of us are talking, and none of us shows any sign that we want to hold a discussion, that means it is a personal thing. So, since it is a personal thing that an outsider might not understand, what makes her think that we will just tell her right away what we are talking about. What makes her think that we will even want to tell her?
You might say, okay, how about you tell her that she doesn't know what you are talking about?
I did.
The conversation went like this:
Me: yadayadayada
Friend: Yada ya ya ya
Me: Yada I think it was quite cool
Person out of nowhere: What was quite cool?
Me: Erm, you don't know about it
Person: Tell me, nevermind, you can just tell me I won't tell anyone.
It is just this annoying. Why should I share my personal conversation with a friend with you? What makes you think I even want to share? Don't assume things. If I want to share with anyone else, I will tell that person some other day some other time. If I could just tell anyone what I was talking about why not I just broadcast the whole thing to the school?
Plain annoying.
It's also amusing how people (mostly cca people) loves calling me on my handphone, despite me saying over and over again that I use prepaid card so I don't answer calls on my handphone unless it is urgent, and it is more better to call my home. If I am not at home, you can always sms me. I even sms back the person who call me and tell her to sms me instead, yet she just chose to call my handphone-.- What part of I do not pick up calls on my handphone do she not get? And even if I do pick up calls, I don't pick up calls if the number of unknown. So those people that I have on my contact list (due to my lousy phone's limited storage) are my primary school friends, and few closer friends and my family and relatives' number. No I don't have any CCA people's number in it, so if they call my caller ID will show an unknown number and I won't pick it up. Another reason why it is better to just sms me.
My things to do list is getting very long. D:
