Hello!!

I was watching a movie just now and it dawned onto me that people always try to make decisions based on what they see. Actually I was watching alone and I am not interested in what they are doing- but unfortunately, they were irritating the hell out of me by making judgements and opinions when no one asked for them. Personally, if they wish to impress their girlfriends or friends, that is their problem- but not at my expense.

Hence since this guy was disrupting my viewing pleasure, I decided to teach him a lesson, and make it embarrassing for him. I study film for half a year, I study religion for half a year, I study history for at least 1 and then of course, collapsing everything altogether, I know exactly what pop culture is trying to say in a film filled with cultural artefacts from time.

Anyone who study film knows that we can follow the narration even though technically is actually a collection of shots and montage- put together to form a story. This means that if you have a "cultural" understanding- you will follow any film. An alien from other space who watch a film for the first time who not understand what is cross cutting at the back of his mind and intuitively but would think why is the film moving from one place to another. An alien does not understand that a fade away is leading to another scene and a sunny day is actually leading to a good thing.

Anyway, I wrote some stuff earlier, but the touchpad is failing me, and so I might have missed quite a lot of juice. But the gist is that this fellow patron keep on challenging me and in trying to predict the film narration- and when he switch from a good guy to a bad and back to a good guy again when there is a girl to kiss. The point is that like he found me as a threat to the girlfriend when I am all alone watching a film on a Friday night- I mean it is quite sad already hence why the hell is there a need to challenge anyway.

But the funny thing is that he keeps getting it wrong- it was a Superman film by the way. I only want to teach him a lesson but he just keep on embarrassing himself that I almost felt bad for him. But he started it. If he does not wish to start anything, hug the girl closely and don't bother what I do. Eventually the girl came to my side, because the guy keeps on getting it wrong. He went from the good guy and then settle for bad guy and when come the kissing scene, he became the good guy again and almost kiss the girlfriend next to him just to show off. Then suddenly the bad resurrect and smashed the good guy in.

I didn't expected that, and I have not watch the show before and I am not even a Superman fan. But it was so funny that he just keep on getting it wrong that I felt embarrassed for him. And I haven't even did anything at all.

I almost felt bad for him and it almost make it look like I was trying to steal his girlfriend away. But well, it was obvious that I was not interested in trying anything then trying to waste some time away eating pop corn and watching a movie in a dark room.

I think people in general are so insecure that they are incapable of trying to understand that sometimes that there isn't a need to prove that you are came in a couple just to show that you are no afraid of a presence of another person. I cannot impress this upon anyone because everywhere I go, it's like people are just trying to prove their superiority simply because there is more of them and less of me.

Maybe I am abit different in that there isn't a need to impress some girl in the train by constantly messaging an anonymous person on the phone. And maybe I am abit different, I don't get jealous that I will message some random person just to prove that I am popular and trying to get some attention.

Every time, some motorcycle would grunt loudly almost in tandem to provide the accompanying soundscape to complement the "bad" love or "bad boy" context- almost on cue. I mean, if I knew that is going to happen, I will wear a thick leather jacket and shave bald and lose my haversack and wear a pair of Doc Martens. But I am not the type.

It is not that I am not interested in women and show this lacklustre energy but it is a public place for crying out loud- what is going to happen. Besides, most of my friends and schoolmates are married or are in the process of doing so. If that is going to happen, it would have happen a long time ago.

Those closest to me are already in the process of having babies and planning to lived a mundane middle class life. Hence, the most direct possibility is already gone again and no, I am not interested in throwing my life and limb for something that I have already done before.

And no some young girl just out of school and with very little work and life experience is just way too much of a burden and require too much maintenance. I know that I am asking for a lot and so I know all of these is a long shot and I really don't expect that to happen.

Besides, I am in an unique situation where even if I am not working but I have an apartment to service. And so, I am not going to kid myself that things are going to happen overnight with a proper job.

And so in the future, if you do see me on the street, do not try to press my buttons and think that I am going to do anything. I will not start anything unless I get something started.

Hello you there !!
