The Stupidity of Youths These Days!
Honestly, the youth these days really have nothing better to do. I think they have been fed too much good stuff; so much so that their nutrition-saturated selves are suffering the side effects of overdose. Here's a story of an angry youth and her half-witted self:
Was walking home from the train station. My mind a total blank; already submerged in that dream-like state. All I could think about was going home and lying on that soft, enticing bed that was pining for me at home. Out of nowhere (well actually out of the kopitiam. But the phrase sounds better if I put it this way) storms this skinny girl; with bleached copper hair, cut in the messy "fashionable" (fashionable does not mean it has to look good) style; uncouth swagger, probably due to the loose flip-flops. As she barged her way through, she start shouting, spouting out some common Hokkien phrases.
How irritating can it get to be jarred awake from my blissful dream-like state, to hear this, I'm-O'-So-Angry, youth screeching like a chicken on the verge of being slaughtered. Hell and damnation!
Well she started shouting about the way this other girl had looked at her. "Oh my goodness gracious me. Here we go again with some moronic 'starring incident'," I thought to myself. Anyway, there she was going on and on about how the "bitch" starred at her and all that humbuggery. Now the situation would not have been all that interesting, if not for the next scene.
Apparently the 'other girl' had stepped out, and had started shouting to this group of girls, in Hokkien, to get their arses back them if they had the guts. Well the girls just kept walking (how ironic when they are trying to act all gangster like). But they did shout back,"kao be kao bu la!" In english, it's something like telling the other party to 'shut the fuck up'. Then that "angry youth" shouted, in a very singlish way,"Fuck you lah!" Here comes the funny bit... She then goes on to brag with her friends,"Scold Hokkien ah. I scold you in English! They think they are gangsters. Hokkien gangster ah. I am Ang Moh Gangster! More high class than you! You are chinese educated, I am English educated ok! Want to fight ah?! I call my boyfriend down lor!"
Are you close to fainting? She just claimed that she is English educated. But did she not just speak in Singlish? Hah! My dear girl, the joke is on you! Trying to act all cool and punk-like; spouting out threats when you are walking away from the fight. Balderdash!
So, not having a good grasp of the chinese language or dialects, and being able to shout out 'FUCK YOU', means that a person is English educated? Don't make me laugh. Ok, so I often use cuss words that are in English; and I suck at Chinese and Hokkien; I've got a tattoo; plus I think I have a better grasp of the English language than that 14 or 15 year old angry girl. Does that mean that I am an upper class tough gangster bitch? Hah!
It is such a disgrace to Singaporeans. I think that girl has just managed to insult the Singaporeans who are truly well versed in the English Language (aka English Educated Singaporeans). Honestly! I can't even bring myself to blurt out that I am well versed in English, or that I am very English educated. That is a ridiculous statement to make.
Damn these silly youths with too much time on their hands. What a freak show!
