Ego

So I received a letter from my 'not-so-smoker-friendly' student hall regarding my smoking habit.

"Smoking is a serious breach of the terms and conditions of residence, poses a fire risk to the building and is illegal. We are required to hold a (fucking) formal meeting for disciplinary reasons, you are therefore asked to attend a meeting with the Whitworth Park wardens to discuss this matter."

I know this rule damn well from the start as I stepped into this residence. If I give a shit about your stupid rule, I would have applied for another residence. So what is there to discuss about?

I went for the meeting. To express my dissatisfaction, I attended the meeting in my gym gear. Singlet, baggy pants and gloves. However, as opposed of my intention, I actually let down my pride and apologised like fuck in the meeting because I didn't wanna pay the fine. I also added that I wasn't aware w the dress code and if they find it inappropriate I will be more than happy to be given a chance to change my clothes and come back.

In the end, they let me off the hook. I never had to pay the fine. And I'm still smoking in my room.

Although seemingly I was the loser who gave up his pride and treated them like a superior, the fact is that in the end, I got what I wanted. Thus the final winner = Lim Yang Sik

This post is dedicated to someone.

The moral of the story is

1) Ego will not take you far.

2) Don't burn your own bridges, always be sweet w your words. It is harder to swallow your words than your ego.

3) Never mess with me!
