Seriously la.

I cannot tahan those who think that finding a job in advertising/production/writing/internship at some glamour-ass company think it’s the shit. For fucks sake, good for you la. You’re a designer/suit/writer/coffee-maker. What the fuck is the big deal? Your name is now listed on the public board is it? No. It’s the simple mistake of knowing little, but thinking you know damn a lot when in actual truth, you know fuck-all.

There are people who have been through the days when everything was done by hand. Yes, you dumbfuck. Just because you know a bit of iMovie and Photoshop to make your face look like Neo, doesn’t make you all that. I’m not all that either. No one is, and no one ever will be because there’s always someone out there trying to eat into your spot.

So wtf. If you get a job, nice. It’s a job. You don’t do a fucking job without looking at it first right? You don’t eat chicken rice without wondering whether to add fucking wings to it right?

On top of all that, you don’t join an industry which isn’t the most carefree of all, whether it’s a production house, or ad agency, or design boutique. Anything la, you know it’s gonna be tough. Not that college didn’t tell you enough about it.

You don’t jump into a swimming pool then complain about being wet. And it’s so fucking tiring to see try-hards justify that they know what the fuck they are doing. Why not concentrate on where you are headed instead? What’s wrong with being neutral and looking out to do the best in what you do, no matter what it is?

Like one writer I know who complains about people’s English. Makes fun of them on his blog. That’s all fair and good for humour, but have you taken a look at your OWN fucking grammar? Sure, everyone does it. It’s fine. But at least I can live with the fact that I spell-check my shit, and own up to my mistakes. Did you? Or are you so pompous that you don’t even bother, assuming that you are grammar-god?

Take another one for example. Yes la, you’ve been running around doing fucking production. Good on you. And I’m sorry I’m being insensitive to your aiyoh so tiring hor i hv 2 carry 5 stacks of paper n wake up at 5. 5 am u noe? dis pplz so stupidz dunno wat is producer, tink that producer only produce tings i say wtfbbq u stupidz u wont understand la gripes. But kiss my ass, because i no gif fuck loh. I’m sure you’re not the only one who has to “slave” for money. Wow. That must suck, huh? That Uncle who still calls for food and picks up cigarette butts off the floor of the studio must really have it easy. You agree? How about no, idiot?

Damn annoying. And the best part? They still live with their parents/take money from them/eat their food, then bitch about how no one else understands their pain and suffering. Suffer what, fucker? You sleeping on the road is it?

I don’t know la. Go la, go la. Join this industry because you think it’s all about sleeping with herpes-laden models and free booze. Just think for a moment about all those who have strived so hard before your time, and times to come.

My point really? Don’t be a fucking poser. Simple, isn’t it?

  1. I take pleasure in telling myself that in my random and often long return to this blog, I find reason to laugh and tell myself that I know a writer of some artistry.

    This post however, has me in constipated knots I almost feel like cutting myself. Your angst is so effective in jumping out of my screen that I feel compelled to post a reply, something I only do when directly called upon or made fun of. So here it is, a response:

    Chill the fuck out la tiuniaseng. We’re all posers anyway. Oh, I almost got into a fight with some kwai lou in MV, but that’s another story.

  2. 3 years on and you’re still using your chicken rice analogy! hehehe not much has changed ey? lol

  3. It’s really strange how people nowadays seem to have a mighty need to proclaim being more miserable than the next person. It’s like, the more miserable you are, the cooler you’ll seem.

    What’s wrong with being happy? Kan? It’s okay to tell people you’re contented with the way things are – seriously doesn’t make you a boring sod.

  4. clever boy!
