Sometimes the weather seems nice, sometimes it doesnt
as the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover.
well, as much as book covers are deceiving, so are people.
when i smile at someone, i sometimes ask myself.
am i really smiling cos im happy?
most of the time, smiling is just a mask.
a facade covering the real actually feeling deep down inside.
smiling doesnt mean anything. half the photos i take shows me smiling. i mean, who doesnt smile for photos man.
but in every photo, do i really mean the smile when i smile?
during chinese new year, everyone smiles. of course they do, all the angpows and money.
but these smiles? they arent real. most of the time. when grandparents enjoy having their grandchildren surround them and take photographs together, yes, of course the grandparents are happy. in fact, they are elated. which elderly wouldnt wanna have their beloved grandchildren around them.
pity the kids. they are always made to smile in every photo.
the parents will always say "come over, come over! take photo with granny. 1,2,3 smile!"
SMILE. a bloody fake smile.
smiles are useless. whats the point of smiling.
not as if smiling can make you richer. for cases like chinese new year, yes.
other than that, there isnt a need to smile.
now i sound so bloody stupid. as if every smile is fake ._.
thinking about it, sometimes smiling is good.
cheers a person up. brings smiles on other people's faces. changing the whole atmosphere.
you walk down orchard road, you dont smile at everyone you walk past, do you?
but look at things this way, if you did randomly smile to some, they might smile back.
wont this make your day a nicer and better one? who likes to look at grim faces everyday anyway ._.
when you smile at your friends, most of the time its only out of courtesy.
come'n man, imagine this.
i go to school. SMILE.
i walk into my class, see my friends. SMILE.
sit down at my seat. SMILE.
time for morning assembly. sing school song. SMILE.
walking back to class. SMILE.
teacher starts lessons. SMILE.
teacher thanks class, walks out. SMILE.
table partner asks you math question. SMILE.
recess time, eat food. SMILE.
go toilet to pee. SMILE.
back to lessons, teacher doing live demonstration of dissecting frog. SMILE.
end of school, packing up. SMILE.
take bus home. SMILE.
get off bus, walk home. SMILE.
open door. SMILE.
see mother. SMILE.
go bathe. SMILE.
waste the whole damn afternoon away. SMILE.
at night, brushing teeth. SMILE.
lie down in bed, getting ready to fall asleep. SMILE.
sleeping, SMILE
and the whole stupid process repeats again the next day.
oh yes, smiling is great. your jaw's gonna break.
and all the people in your school will think you're a fucking lesbian. well, if you're in a single sex school, that is. either that, or they might think you got a crush on a teacher?
or worst still, your fucking mouth is glued in that retarded position.
okay, this sounds really harsh huh ._.
but well, this is fact.
theres no reason to smile. smiling at your friends, its only a gesture to show that you acknowledge their presence.
smiling at your parents. thats another way of saying "thanks for feeding me from young. i am now a healthy teen. you might wanna increase my monthly allowance and fuck off trying to invade my privacy. i swear i dont have a boyfriend"
smiling at your teacher "teacher, see im so courteous. exam must mark more leniently!"
smiling at interviewers during an interview "fuckshit. dont keep asking me questions. just sign that damned paper and hire me"
smiling at your friends "hello. i am your friend. you might wanna buy me lunch"
smiling at yourself in the mirror "oh fuck, im so bloody ugly. but maybe if i smile more, i'll look like a goddamned angel. and maybe i'll become a head turner"
come on, people. SMILE.
for fuck's sake, smiling aint that bad huh. oh, in fact. its a perfect tool.
to cheat your family. cheat your friends. and most importantly, yourself.
and im really sorry if i sound superbly vulger. heres a smile to make up for it : D
when you're happy, is there really a need to smile?
i mean, happy. so what?
to spread happiness, just go chill out in your room. blast some silverstein.
that aint good enough?
grab a couple of beer? wine? sparkling juice?
invite couple of friends over. have a stayover party.
dont do silly things.
dont go out and catch a movie. dont go out and celebrate with your friends over lunch.
come on, all those are so fake.
celebrating over lunch. yeah, as if you will feel happy that you're wasting your cash over some stupid lunch
okayye.... not that im saying you guys should EMO. nothing wrong with that anyway. but you must bear in mind that you dont need to smile all the time.
and this sounds so bloody brainwashing. i swear i aint trying to brainwash you. or sound like some emo kid with a fucked up life (tho most of the time i think thats what i am)
and i realised this post is rather long. and typed with no singlish.
been long since i had such posts huh.
but i enjoy typing them.
and hell, its takes alot of inspiration to get this whole thing going.
alot of braincells are killed in this process, so please appreciate my post.
and dont SMILE.
thank you.
toodles (:
