Me. Myself & i

Today i finally realised why some people think law sch pple are snobbish... It really has nothing to do with law students.
I was at the dining table with my aunt and uncle in law for breakfast. As i was flipping through the papers, my aunt actually asked me why was i wearing the faculty t-shirt on a Sunday? The question really puzzled me since I wear NUS t-shirts almost everyday at home during the holidays. First, i have so many of them. Second, they're free. Third, they're rather comfortable. and lastly, i simply grab them from the poles.
The fact is that, when i wear the shirt, i don't give too much thought to it. But the wearing of the shirt actually means something to people around me. Imagine this, when i'm choosing a t-shirt to wear at home, and i purposefully choose a tee other than law faculty tee, doesn't this shows that i actually think i'm more superior. that's why i wouldn't want them to feel inferior.
I don't see them having a problem when i wear YJC t-shirts. Neither do i see them having a problem when my sister wears her SP t-shirt. Does it mean i have nothing to be proud of being a YJCian?

Half the time when people complain about others being snobbish or proud, they themselves are suffering from sort of inferior complexity. Seriously, i don't think there's anything to be proud or snobbish about studying Law. However, little things that you do will be under scrutiny of those around you. Normal things like wearing a t-shirt can actually be interpreted to be an arrogant act. To you, it is just another t-shirt.

My granddad is going to be admitted into the hospital tonight. They found a small tumour in his lungs last week, it'll be tested tml to see if its cancerous. Since they found the tumour until today, i've been told on two occasions that "If it happens to your father, then you know."
I totally agree with that. If it was my dad, i wouldn't have the slightest idea of how to go about doing it. Not to mention there's no one in my family that has medishield or insurance to pay for the fees. I'd definitely be at a loss. things like "what is meant to be" will be bs at this point. Bottomline, i'll freak out.
But when they say things like "if it happens to your father.." Why haven't they considered that i live next door to this grandfather of mine? That I'm the one who sees him day in day out, talk to him? That i'm the one who ran back home holding his hands the first thing i reached home from thailand? that i'm the one who sees this grand dad of mine, so freaked out by the possibility of more operations, that he has to sneak out to the corridor in the middle of the night to drink some chinese medicine. Which, for your information, can choke you with a few drops but he has to drink a spoonful?
My aunt was running ard, making a big fuss of asking him to change, walking ard looking for documents, asking my little sister to change, checking the mobile that she'll pass to my grand-dad... Simply making things look abit too serious and too much for a frail old man.. He was just sitting there, not knowing what to expect, thinking he has something as bad if not worse that what he had, trying to calm himself down. He was telling me that he was going to the hospital for a holiday, trying to make things sound a little lighter... There they are, walking ard creating a big fuss, instead of reassuring him. I stepped up and said that maybe they shld consider how he feels now and downplay it abit. Instead, i got chided for being apathetic. That he wasn't my dad, so i din know how they feel now. My aunt even said that what i said made me sound like i was watching a show, in chinese, they call it watching the fire from the other side of the shore.

Mayb they're right, mayb i'm just unfeeling.
