My Name Is Not Emo

What an emo week i got here! but the emo-ness that i am talking here doesnt come from me, myself or i. Apparently a lot of my friends are emo-ing about studies, relationship, munny and the list goes on. Dear wenyan, see what i am talking about? I dont emo, but my friends are and you are one of it.

So what am i going to do now, is to write an Q and A section in this post. Do you know whats the ironic part, after i listened to most of 'your problems', i find that theres nothing much to emo about, seriously, cuz most of it are considered trivial though.

And ya, for those who has been reading newspaper for emo-probs columns such as Big Bro (was subsequently replaced by xXx, what a lame name T__T ) and Dear Thelma, seriously, go get some life. Those authors are holding themselves back when giving advises and they only tell you for the sake of telling you what to do. You would rarely seen them bombarding those who wrote in, so screw it! Btw, I am not gawd here to cover all of your problem scenarios here, so i will just pick a few of it. Dont worry, no names will be mentioned throughout the Q and A. And dont ask me those ppl's identity, ok? i am not gong to reveal it, so dont bother to try, ya? Cheers = )

Problem A

X (gal - single ) went for an outing at some club house with friends. During the outing, Y (dude) saw X and walked all the way to her and had a short chat and even got her hp number. Well, she was surprised that someone would has the courage to do such. Y has been calling X almost everyday and talked for hours but they never meet up again ever since the first time they met at the club house. Perhaps some of you were thinking now at this point, wondering if Y is some la-la or si-hum chai? Nope, he is not. X described Y as a person who is really nice to talk to, a guy with a good career (engineer) and only slightly older than her.

I wouldnt say that he is the perfect guy out there though, but so far as being described to me, he is a reasonable person that most of the gals would look forward to. I did told X that this Y might be interested in her, as usual, X denied and claimed that both of them are just good friends. (btw, for those who dont know Mr Zhong well, the word 'platonic' doesnt exists in his life-dictionary.) Guess what? shortly after that, Y did expressed his feelings towards X. I might not be a prophet or some crystal ball reader, but my intuition is not that bad one, ok?!

Okay, Y is a great guy and nice to talk to, and kind of 'ngam key' with X. But the issue is that, this Y is not handsome. Okay, thats just a nice way to describe his outloook- the truth is, he is reaaaaaaaaaaaally that bad looking (kodok). X couldnt accept him because Y did not surpass X's outlook threshold. X now feeling guilty becuz she used to condemn those who actually 'yu mao chui yan' (canto) or judge a book by its cover. I know all of you got your own opinion about this whole matter, but this is what Mr Zhong gotto say to X:

Answer A
Dont feel guilty if you cant accept him simply becuz he is bad looking. To be honest, theres nothing wrong with that. As the matter of facts, sad but true, all ppl does that especially guys. That doesnt mean that guys are meanie or such, it is just that diff ppl have diff priorities that they look for in a person as their partner. But guys are created in a way which they tends to have 'outlook' as one of their top priority while gals have it lower. But if Y cant meet up your threshold, DONT ACCEPT HIM k? Never ever ever accept a person for the sake of accepting. Unless you can tolerate with what he lacked of for the rest of your life.

If u cant remember that, tattoo that on ur hand or something.

If u rejected him but he still keep calling you everyday. Let him be, keep emphasising the word 'friends' to him and let him know that you are not interested having a relationship with him other than just friends BUT dont you try to 'pancing' him so that you can keep his attention to you. If you try to do that, even Mr Zhong would despise you, k? After some time, he will eventually get the point and slowly back off a bit away from you. Trust me, it works.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem B

Okay, this is even more complicated. WY (gal) and WJ (error-cant be determined) always been a pair of dodgy friends among all other friends (no names mentioned k? Dear readers, plz, do me a favour, dont try to make inferences, even if you do, keep it only to yourself, nothing malicious intended here) As usual, they claimed that they are platonic-type-of-friends.

I know this is hearsay, but nonetheless, i heard that they are seen like couple, they sound like couple, but as they said, nope, they are not couple. Only gawd knows what they are anyway. Okay to cut it short, among the bunch of friends, theres another guy, SW came into the picture ( sounds like a korean drama heh? XD ) and he tried pretty hard to court WY but WY has been giving him a cold shoulder. But on the other hand, WY did gave some mixed signals to SW (*cough* Cambodia,pool, flower *cough*) T___T
Well, of course the bunch of friends been teasing them yada yada yada. The question is that, she never been openly oppose to it or even admitted that SW got feelings on her. All she does is deny deny deny. >___> that is sooooo wy~

Answer B
Oh my, sounds like some winter sonata scenario though i never watch it before. Standard Korean dramas they said. Dear WY, i know you dont want to commit anything, but you cant have both ya? I know maybe you like the attention of both, but hanging on both would only lead you to a recipi of disaster k? Seriously, if you want to choose WJ, tell SW and vice versa. Well, in the game of lub (not typo btw), theres always someone bound to be hurt when comes to 3 parties scenario. All of you are adults, they will know how to handle it. SO MAKE YOUR DECISION A.S.A.P!

Problem C

This is some standard problems that a normal typical student would have, study pressure. Z told me that she lost the burning desire in studies recently and seems moodless and moody and felt like giving up. My first reaction is like... 'Whaaaa?'. Studies + being bullied by younger (again, no typo here) sister, worsen the situation. Exam is just around the corner, she told me. And if she doesnt recover the 'fire' soon enough, she is screwed.

Answer C
As far as i am concerned, Z, listen to me. You always been a hardworking and consistent student throughout the whole course til now. About your 'losing desire' to study, it is just a temporary effect which i normally called the 'Burnt out' effect. Trust me, dont just caving yourself at home and study like a madcow, it doesnt work, seriously. Go out and have fun from time to time, do whatever you been enjoy doing and you will be fine. Doesnt mean that i ask you to stop studying all together okay?

If you are still worrying about your exam, LOOK AT ME, well, i do got some study stress though but you dont see me being depress or emo like you do ya? My point is being, that if Mr Zhong (that has been skipping classes and not been passing up his assignments with a million of it backlogging) has not press the panic button yet, you dont need to. Just keep it up and dont slack, not now. Mr Zhong might need your answer sheets and notes!




WAHHHHH, type so long only able to cover 3 probs today. Em... i guess i will save some of it next time ba. Okay guess its up for me to pick up the most heaviest book on earth now to read up a bit. If not, i will be gg'd.

Til we meet again next time, stay tune for more Mr Zhong's Emo Talk!
(Again, no grammar police are welcome here, shoooo~)
