aren't we ashamed?

I initially didn't want to type this down and write it down somewhere instead but I can't find a proper book. I have them but I've used most of them. Maybe I should get a few little empty notebooks one of these days.

But yeah, I was writing the following paragraphs at the foot of my door this morning, while waiting for Daddy to finish showering.

It could be offensive and I apologize beforehand but if you're easily offended, then you shouldn't be reading my blog in the first place.

And yes, by the above statement, I mean that I'm not a racist and am thankful towards all the FTs working in Singapore.

Here goes:

I know this is news from gazillion years ago. I saw it on stomp and omy before people starting telling me about it.

I have friends who says that those FTs are the scum of the earth.
I have friends who says that the girl/tranny deserves it.
I have friends who says that the crowd are selfish and inconsiderate jerks.

None have heard it from my mouth but since I want to make my stand clear, I shall say it once and for all.

I don't feel anything for the three groups of people mentioned above but rather, I'm embarrassed by the people who yakked on and on by the about the three groups without doing anything.

Yeah. I'm mortified.

Not because a Singaporean/Thai lady were scantily draped in bikini, not because the crowd with that dark hairy arm I saw on the video (by that I'm only assuming and not implying that he's a FT because well, all of us have been to Orchard during New Year and we probably know who those hands belong to) or the FTs on the stage groping and dry-humping that chick/tranny.

To be honest, I'm sure all of us somehow or other, major or not have been through such a situation before.

Let's say in a accident-related-congestion, who are you going to blame for the congestion.

The car who was got knocked over?
The car who knocked the other car over?
The people who drove past slower just to catch a glimpse of the accident.

Many would be quick to point the finger at the people. Because if they don't slow down and try to catch the plate number and buy lottery with it, there wouldn't be a congestion.

But are the few cars that caused the accident faultless? Or should they be any less guilty in comparison to those cars that drove past a little slower?

I don't know but I don't think so.

Or in another case. If there is a fight in school, who are you going to blame.

The one who got hit.
The one who punched the other guy.
Or the people that crowd around not breaking up the fight.

Are the instances getting a lot more familiar now?

I would say all of them are equally at fault but if I were to be really wanted to be super nitpicky about this, I'm going to say, I think the one at fault is the person who caused this entire situation.

If it's the accident, it would be the one who didn't follow the rules.

If it's a fight, it would be the the one who provoked and started it.

If it's the beach party, it would be the one who provoked the guys into dry-humping him/her.

I mean, c'mon. Why would a girl dance alone there. At a party. Unless she has something in mind, eh?

And why in the world did those guys started dry-humping her all of a sudden. You don't walk down the streets in the city area and get groped right there and then right?

Why? Most probably because you didn't do something that provoked them into dry-humping you.

And to be completely honest, did she guess this groping thing would happen? Maybe not. Probably yes.

Unless she just came back from overseas, and by that, I didn't mean from Thailand. (Okay, there is this little thing about Thailand that I can't let it go ever since Elwin said that 'she' might be a 'he'.)

Look at our very own foam countdown party. How many girls have been molested in that one night. Countless. Is this scene common in Singapore? Not really on the other 364 days though.

But do we know that is going to happen. Most girls (and guys and that's why most of them would protect their girl-friends), party veteran or not would know about this.

Okay, i digress a lot.

My point is simple. I'm just saying that keyboard warriors should start living what they say.

The difference between I could and I would with I had are miles apart.

We could have done a lot of things. But did we? We didn't. So does it matter if we could do them? It doesn't. Why? Because we didn't do it.

Almost everyone would be quick to find excuses for themselves but does that matter? It doesn't change the fact that we didn't do it.

No employers would want to hear you saying that you can do this and that, would be able to accomplish that and this. They would only want to see if you had already done this and that and had accomplished that and this. Why would an employer only want to hear superficial statements that anyone can loudly proclaim when what they need are real in depth answers which can only be proven to them with works rather than words (unless if you're going to work as someone who focuses on speech, then the speech would be your works in that case)

Especially even truer in media, IT, business, finance... okay, all industries actually.

This is reality and to be honest, all of us by now should be able to 看破紅塵了… …
