THIS FUNNY THING

mm, so i was blog-hopping. and saw one of my friend's church friend's blog. ok, i'm not some stalker. i semi know the church friend. and 'cause it was my friend's birthday recently..ahh! you know what? we'll address my friend as J. so as i was saying, J's birthday just passsed recently. and so the church friend dedicated a post to J. well durh! J and the church friend are so close, you could just say they were related by blood. ok, so i was reading the post. man, was it touching. i tell you, if i was J i would cry. hahah. alright, that's not the point. and i'm beating around the bush here. so here's the whole thing short and sweet. J's church friend posted a birthday post for J. and it was about their friendship. the thing that struck me? that the church friend mentioned how much J had impacted her life and how J held a special place in her life. but what stood out was this line,

i quote,
" yet as she sits in the spotlight, she manages to observe the little things around her. things that affect those around her "

i hold nothing against J's friendship with the church friend. but i was just set thinking about what the church friend wrote.

how could, how could two friends of the same person have such differing opinions of that very person? to the church friend (and i derive this from the abovementioned quote), J was someone who was the "popular one". yet J isn't a pompous person, and thinks about the feelings of the people in her surroundings.

you know what my opinion of J always was? the total opposite of what her church friend has. i have always harboured this dislike for J's personality. J, to me was a person who was rather ignorant to the feelings of the people around her.
this incident always comes to mind when i talk about J,

J: " wahhhhh! bryan i very sad leh. you see my marks? i 2 more marks then can get B3 already leh. how how? B4 not that good. ahhh. "

this while I failed the math paper. and it's not just some test, it was an exam. and anyone could have seen from my expression that I was clearly very, very dissappointed. and J knew I failed. but J just complained about not getting B4.


i trust, for those of you who read my blog, that you could have remembered me posting a post about this a few months back. a post about how people should be aware of other's feelings around them. about how everyone has a right to celebrate or desire to do better, but at the same time, about how the actions that they take shouldn't be ignorant to others feelings.

yes, this entire post is about J. why? because i regard J as a good friend. because i cannot see why, she is a totally different person when she is with a different group of friends. someone different with her school friends. someone diffenrent and probably nicer with her church friends. after all, we're all still her friends. why should there not be any impartiality. that's probably what this post is about.

why does my opinion on J differ so much from her church friends opinion on her?


well, this post has been rather long. and i'm writing it in the office. in full view of all the other supervisors around me. so i should be going. till next time!

to the people who will read this, you're probably part of J's school friend group too. and should also know who this J is. yeah. apologies if this post is offensive towards J. if it is, tell me, i'll remove the post. it's just about a passing thought i had. yeap. all's cool.
