Alamak

No doubt I've caused a fury over the past few days. And never have I thought that I'll need to have to say this on my blog: I'm entitled to have my own opinions. And as for the f-words, it's just vulgar old me writing in the style I'm comfortable with (if you find time, bother to read through other entries): no doubt unprofessional, but still, me, writing a leisure blog in my style.

Some quotation I heard a long time ago, but never found meaning in it until now:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" - Voltaire supposedly said it

Thanks for reading, Kthxbai.

Entitled to your opinion? YES. But at the expense of scarring your relations with your friends? It must take a heartless person like you to do that. All it had to take was to have a better choice of words to express your feelings abt the production, that was all. But congratulations on boosting your blog readership with your attention-seeking post. Musnt't have taken alot of effort for you to do that! =D

Heartless, or frank?

In my opinion, JY gave her FRANK opinion on what she thought about the play, and unfortunately, it wasn't good. Well obviously she must've hurt YOUR fragile little feelings, seeing how you're the one who's being rude to her... ON HER OWN BLOG.

Unlike YOU, she didn't stoop to personal attacks. She pointed out the bad points of the play, such as the unbelievable storyline that requires you to defy logic (i.e. a person who is allergic to the sun being able to come out during monsoons).

Look at it as a Hindi movie. Some people love the impractical, cliched, overly-coincidental storyline, and some absolutely hate it. Is one better than the other? NO. It's called an opinion. Sorry to burst your bubble, but some people's opinions differ from yours. Get used to it. Don't expect your bosses, after you hand them a piece of work that they think is absolute shit, to tell you, "It's okay dearie, come let me hold your hand and guide you through it." No. They'll look you dead in the eye and tell you, "That was a piece of shit. Get your act together or you're FIRED."
