With me, that is.

"For those who mind, they dont matter. And for those who matter, they wont mind."

This line is super useful to me everytime i lose confidence or when anyone is near success in irritating me. Whenever any of the two scenarios happen, i'll mentally read this line in my head. It helps 99% of the time. But very recently, i have discovered a major flaw in this statement after listening to Melissa's account with her brother, her mother and herself.

There is just this group of people who fall into the category of people who matters to you, and somehow at times, they mind certain significant and insignificant things. And this group just happens to be family and the closest of friends. So i guess this line wont help to serve to cool your head or regain your composure. As of now, i haven thought of any possible solutions or lines to tackle this. In fact, my younger brother used to irritate every single shit out of me. But thankfully, he's alot better now. Yaowen can attest to the kind of tone and words i used on my brother whenver i was conversing with Yaowen over the phone. Nobody else came close to the kind of wrath i unleash unto him. But that was in the past. Right now, he's alot more matured in his thoughts and actions as compared to the past. But he still exhibits the teenager's slight rebellious nature in him. With the hormones raging in him, you can roughly predict the kind of experiences he's going through. In a mixed school, the most inevitable scenario would be that of a romance nature. Sadly, i didnt get to enjoy such an experience in secondary school. But thankfully i didnt, because i wouldnt be straight if i indulge in such a doing. Another kind of behaviour exhibited by him would the "wanna-look-cool" image. Speaks little. Minor expressions on his face. Hair styled to his version of "perfect-ness". Time spent in front of the mirror a little longer than last time. Hands tucked into his pocket at times. Well, you know... the usual typical "cool dude" in secondary school uniform. The other time i caught him wearing his socks so low. And it wasnt even ankle socks! There was just a super huge portion of allowance deep in the sock that he didnt stuff his whole foot in.

What can i say? My brother is growing up...
