[Little thought] Vocabulary of the day - pretty and ugly

Okay, I am going to share about a story that happens to be one of the saddest things in my life.

It is about a person's feature and appearance. To be honest, who does not want to be born with good looking? But people, we have NO choice. We are given what we are not expected. He may want to have better body figure, she would like to have a longer pair of legs, you may want to have bigger eyes and I, would like to have everything.

Since we are born, we are taught not to be greedy and a person can not be that perfect. Even though he or she is very successful on some areas, he may have something that is imperfect that he resists to share about.

Well, the introduction is way too long for the story. Let's begin with the story now.

Today, I went to Old Town to buy some foods for my sister. There were two guys and ladies sitting at the coffee shop and when I passed by, i heard they were talking about me. As I was walking in a relatively fast pace, they were not being able to look at me clearly. But I guessed they were wondering if i were pretty. When I walked towards them again, they laughed out loud at me loudly. I can feel the sarcasm  in their laughter. I was so embarrassed to be passing by them again later.

To the guys and ladies who sat in front of the main door of Old Town Coffee Shop at Taman Gaya branch,

I am sorry that I am not pretty enough to make you all felling amazing. However, my feature cannot be decided by me and it is given by my parents. I am sorry to make you guys feeling disappointed. The laughter you all made were so offensive. You were loud, and in front of me.

I don't know if I should tell you that I am sorry about my failing feature but people, you guys were so irritating. Please be more considerate in the future and please don't judge everything based on a person's appearance and feature.

One day, I WOULD LIKE FOUR OF YOU TO BE BENT DOWN ON ME, LISTENED TO ME AND ADORED ME. I want you all to be surprised when seeing me in front of you all. I want you all to say sorry in front of the public to everyone you all have offended.

I used to have less confidence in myself as I know I am not that typical lady that everyone would think that you are pretty. I have dark skin, bad teeth, horrible voice, terrible hair, short-sighted and also short. I was extremely shy to have my head up when I am wearing my glasses because I think I am very ugly with it and this is still happening right now. I want to have my teeth nicer, skin fairer (as the chinese quote: Fairer is prettier), deeper feature, taller, and even prettier in the overall. I can choose to undergo a beauty surgery but I resist to do it as everyone is special. I am actually satisfied on how I am looking now apart from the teeth problem (feeling so narcissistic - rolling eyes). I never dare to look into people eyes while talking to them, always have my head down while walking because I know that my feature will be disappointing the guys who think that I am pretty. I don't know started from when that I try to tell myself that you should gain your confidence level by dressing nicer to make yourself looking better. And so, I DID IT. I started to wear contact lens, dress as nice as I can and these do workout.

However, thanks to those peeps, you completely deteriorated my confidence level again. You don't know how hard for me to gain the confidence level. I would start hating mirrors and stop taking selfie now. Sorry for the guys who are forced to see my pictures on Instagram or Facebook or even on Pinterest. I apologize with all of you sincerely. I would not stop taking selfie but will stop posting individual photos online as those are so harmful to your eyes.

okay, anyway, thank you for the laughter and I will make myself looking better in the future.

Keep it up, Fia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
