my theory that supposedly explains old-age sarcasm.

jason: "my english lecturer very sarcastic wan. she'll read out our answers like this ---"

i was telling jason that some old people are so mean and sarcastic because they didn't handle whatever baggages they had when they were younger. it's easy to put on all sorts of faces sorrylah. the word 'masks' is just too cliche. and smile all the time when we're younger. and we have the amazing energy to tolerate untolerable people.

my theory is that the older a person gets, the lesser he/she tries to hide who he/she really is. mean old people are just what they are - mean people. they just grew old. so now -> old mean people. sarcastic old people are old sarcastic people.

clever?

no la. i read it somewhere before. =P

"my english lecturer forces us to write our answers in full: 'how can you write incomplete sentences for english!'"

"tell your lecturer, in court nobody answers in full wan."
"but it's english--"
"tell her we're law students, not english students."

-listened to contract lecture for awhile-

"you should help your english lecturer in the morning noe. she has to carry a radio and her bag, and she can't open the door by herself."
"she comes to the faculty very early. like, 8.40am (class starts 9am) she was there already."
"then you should come early lor."
"okay. i'll come 20 minutes early to carry a radio."
"noooo, to help her open the door."
"yeah. then i sit down and stare at her for the next 20minutes right."

-brief silence-

"yoh. i think i'm quite sarcastic also. i better get rid of it before i'm old."
