The Trait in Me That I Do Not Admire
Like everyone else in this world, I have certain traits that I do not like, much less admire. I do have to point out that traits, whether good or bad, can be rather subjective. A quiet person might be deemed boring to some but others might value the person as the perfect companion to let one’s heart out to. A thrifty person might be seen as a scrooge to some but others will admire the persons determination in saving.
One of the traits that I have a love/hate relationship about me is,
Carelessness
.
I can be VERY VERY careless at times and I will tell you why.
.
E.g. #1
Once, during my poly days at Ngee Ann, I woke up like any usual morning for an early class. I took a lift down from the 6th storey to the ground level. Walked from the void deck to the bus stop. Took a bus from Jurong West to Clementi. Walked from the bus terminal up to the MRT station to cross the bridge down to the other side. Took a bus from there to Ngee Ann Poly. Walked past the crowds at the canteen. Walked past at least 4 to 5 buildings. Took the stairs up to my tutorial class.
My class resident chiobu, Kaiying, walked up to me as I tried to lean with my back on the wall with the coolest posture ever. She took a step closer and it was close enough for us to kiss and she whispered,
“Krisssss……..”
“Yeah?”
(She leans even closer)
“Your pants is not zipped up….”
“…………..”
.
E.g. #2
I was serving the Air Force(RSAF) as a regular and one Monday morning, I had to report to a highly secured facility in…… Singapore. I woke up a late and had to rush a little. I put on my smartly pressed uniform with my shining epaulettes indicating that I am an officer who is ranked as a Lieutenant.
I took a cab down to the facility and had to walk past the security check. As I approached the metal detector, a guard meekly called out to me,
“Er…. Sir?”
“Yes?”
“Sir… er… you… er….”
“What?”
“Sir… Er… You need to take ‘those’ out”
(He points at my left ear)
“Ah?…… OH SHIT!“
.
Turns out that I had not one but two studs on my left earlobe as I usually wear them over the weekends to act cool. After that incident, I was on a ‘Hi, Bye’ relationship with the guard. He probably told all his colleagues about it and I am not surprised if he did because I would have done the same.
“You see that Officer over there! I caught him reporting to work wearing studs on his ears that day lor! Kuku BIRD! WAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!”
.
But of course, the good point about my carelessness is that I turn out goofy sometimes from such incidents and I make people laugh over it.
………………….
Okay…. That’s enough.
Stop laughing.

Is that the “best” you have? I’ve heard worse. =p
Well, actually I think all of us will go through incidents like dat. I have a fair share of the “zipper” experience myself. So Kris, I dun reckon those 2 incidents are enough for you to be “honoured” as a careless person.
MORE EMBARRASSING EXAMPLES PLS! Hehe…
