Illogical Logic

9:30pm - Still waiting for my boss to send me something, then continue to work. The deadline of the yet-to-start-writing proposal is 4pm tomorrow. Have a meeting out of office tomorrow morning till noon. Just now he told me, don't be too tough to yourself. Honestly, I also don't know how to achieve that.


那天去扫墓(很多年没去了),遇到了一些平时没什么见面的亲戚。

见到他们,没有什么太特别的感觉。只知道他们的身份、辈份,彼此并不熟悉。

等待着的时候,听到一段可笑的对话。

一个是婶婶(对她没什么好感,主要是他们那天迟到,要大伙儿痴痴地等,所以我有点火),一个是不懂多少年没有见过的堂哥(我只大概记得他们兄弟的名字)。

婶婶:你是老三哦?
堂哥:不是,我是老二,他(指着他的弟弟)才是老三。

[老三的颓废形象,确实令他看起来比较年长,反之老二就比较白白净净]

婶婶:你在哪里工作啊?
堂哥:沙亚南。
婶婶:做什么工?
堂哥:关于手术方面的研究。
婶婶:工钱一定很好咯?
堂哥:还可以。
婶婶:有没有女朋友?
堂哥:没有。
婶婶:没有女朋友?那么老实啊!
堂哥:(无言...)

我在一旁,不是特地偷听,却把每一句都“吸收”了。

幸好没有忍不住笑出来。

什么时候开始,没有女朋友等于老实?老实?为什么说“老实”?是错误的用词吗?

别人说没有,是现在没有,不代表不曾有过,或将来不会有。

所以呢,最令人害怕的,就是这种安娣的问题及不合逻辑、令人想不通的“结论”。

答,后果就是如此;不答,人家说你没家教。

如果没有女朋友就是老实,那对于她自己有个当未婚妈妈的女儿,最恰当的形容词,又是什么呢?

一般上,安娣都是酱的,她们说话或问问题就是会比较直接,或许她们只是想了解你,而不懂怎样来个开场白.每次跟家人聚会是都会遇到这种尴尬的情况,多数都会用个简单的答案,读书先..

darren, 我们已经没有资格讲你的那一句 :)

我并不觉得他们是关心,却是想满足自己的八卦心。必要时再拿自己的子女出来比较,然后觉得自己很不错。

是一种爱比较的心。我觉得。

通常安娣们讲话是志在打发时间。很多时候她们自己也忘了自己说过什么话,反正每天都会有新的话题讲。通常遇到这样的安娣,对着她傻笑就可以了,反正她不会记得跟你谈天的内容。

Aunties. Oh dear, those aunties are just plain funny. I am more than 30, and they kept asking me this and that. When I told them I got no girlfriend, they were like "Aiyoh, don't be so picky lah!" and I will tell them, "Oh! Not me. They are the one picky..." and generally speaking, they will keep quiet after that.

next time u try to tell them coz u are not cunning at all, that's why cannot cheat any girl, then see what they reply? (coz that means, the aunties have been cheated, hahaha)
