in life, you are bound to run into people who you cant get along with. ive mentioned this in a post before, but id like to bring up the subject once more because im in such a situation myself at changi naval base. dont get me wrong, the people there are alright. mostly...
in my bunk, sleeping directly below me there is a little malay boy by the name of sufyan. he comes from a troubled background, being in a boys home previously and the self proclaimed black sheep of his family. one of those confined for being caught smoking(which he refused to own up to, only doing so after his smoking buddy came clean. he would have stood idle and watched the rest of the platoon get fucked over his selfishness.), he has also not had much of an education, is of frail health and dearly lacks money.
now, sufyan doesnt like me. and i dont like him. you know me, im more of a lover than a fighter. i would rather avoid those people whom i find detestable than associate myself with them any longer than i have to. thus, i like to go my own way and ignore him whenever possible. however, in the past 2 weeks or so, tensions have begun flaring up.
with his threats of "slaying me"(see! malay slang right there!) because of the way ive been aggroing him, he must feel a bit better by trying to intimidate a guy whos a whole head taller than him and much much bulkier. although, upon me asking him to bring up instances when ive aggroed him, he draws up a complete blank and after a few moments' pause, resumes his baseless rantings.
so why all the hate?
... i dunno.
i have a theory though! this is nothing concrete mind, just something which i reached through a series of logical and methodical elimination of every other possibility before me. see, sufyan walks around with a permanent scowl on his face, mostly keeps to himself and doesnt really have any proper friends in camp. now, i, on the other hand, joke around like crazy(with commanders and platoon mates alike), wear my heart on my sleeve and have quite a few buddies to talk cock with. with kevin at the top of that list, of course.
thus, with these contradictions being so blatant, maybe our conflict isnt really all that avoidable. im not going to say hes JEALOUS of me or anything, oh no. that would be too haughty on my part! i believe sufyan cant accept, or for that matter live around, anyone who doesnt conform to his standards of living(i.e. shut up all the time, speak with a malay slang and laugh at tasteless, repetitive jokes). and because nearly everyone in the whole friggin country cant bring themselves to understand and sympathise with him, he needs an outlet for his inability to really really fit in. this is where i come in!
there is a much simpler way of putting this though, one which i find way more entertaining and easy to comprehend.
hes socially retarded.
hahhahaha okok, enough about that weirdo.
lemme see. few more hours to my birthday celebration with quite a few people expected to attend. i do hope everything will turn out fine. either way, this weekends my bday, next weekend is the grand re opening of club rome and the weekend after that is BLOCK LEAVE BABY!!! WOOHOOO!!!
ogay until the next post(which should come tomorrow), take care and sayonara me lovelies!
