Take this ho over the rainbow.

Arrogance.

According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, arrogance is defined as 'an attitude of superiority manifested in an over bearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions' or maybe even as 'the act or habit of making statements based on pride, self-importance, conceit, or the assumption of intellectual superiority and the presumption of knowledge that is not in evidence or supported by any facts or experience.' 

-.-'

I'm pretty sure you only read the 'According to Merriam part'. Don't worry, even I didn't read it. Thank God for copy and paste.

Arrogance, to me is just like a plate of spoilt Briyani in an Indian restaurant. 

Yes thambi, briyani.

This particular spoilt Briyani gets put aside while new ones are cooked and served. Unlike most isolated objects which might probably feel insecure, this Briyani develops a sudden sense of empowerment and jeng jeng, arrogance. 'I am not being served, nothing is wrong with me, I'm special.' says the proud chicken cuisine.

But no one told the Briyani that pride comes before a fall. It gets thrown away the next day. R.I.P.

P.S I'm not schizophrenic and neither am I the Briyani Whisperer.

So yeah, that's arrogance for you. In case you can't relate yourself to the Briyani story, let me bring you down to some more 'teenagy situations.'

1. You're sitting alone in tuition cos your momma dropped you off early. You play with your phone, stare at walls and make silly faces at the security camera. Then Miss Boomerang walks in with an oversized bag containing half of the make-up section in Jusco and plonks herself down as fffaaaaarrrr away from you as possible. 

Okay so you're Asian right? And momma's always said to be friendly. So you wave a little and say 'Hey, what's up?'. Miss Boomerang slowly lifts her head to reveal her over plucked eyebrows and pouty lips. Then she gives you the 'look'. Oh you know the 'head-body-toes-body-head' look, and shoots you a look of utter disgust. Then she somehow finds the energy to lift up her French manicured fingers to give a tiny wave and continues to stare at her nails, ignoring your existence. Completely.

YOU JUST GOT ARROGANIZED!

2. You're in Starbucks, making full use of the Wifi since your father won't pay for your data plan, as you sip on a Chamomile tea - maklumlah, its one of the paling murah. 

In walks Mr Popularity from your school. You guys know each other, through clubs and stuff, so in an attempt to not be rude you walk up to Mr Pop to say hi. Mr Pop seems to not recognize you, so you belt out some inside jokes and funny situations that you both were involved in. Mr Pop turns over to his giggly female companions and whispers something, that causes them to giggle and laugh at you. You hang your head in shame. Completely.

YOU JUST GOT ARROGANIZED!

3.  You       : Hey I'm ____ from ____. What's your name?

    Bitch 2.0 : Oh sorry, I don't get you, I don't speak freak language you see.

YOU JUST GOT SUPER ARROGANIZED!

Yeah, thats the world for you. We often sit down and ask ourselves, why are people so mean. The answer truly is insecurity. The only reason one would be rude or bitchy to you, is only because they feel threatened by you or your personality. And that one insecure person will tell her insecure friend who will tell her insecure boyfriend who will tell his insecure group of friends about you. And before you know it, YOU GOT EM' HATERZZ!

Some wise person, me, once said, 'You need to be known to be hated.' *coughs* So embrace the hate, because all publicity is good publicity, especially BAADD publicity. Nyehe.

And remember, haters gonna hate, potatoes gonna potate. :)
