People I will NEVER Understand (even if the ground crumbles beneath my feet and I dip into the Earth's crust all the way down to New Zealand)

People who dip their fried dumplings in soupHaha, this might seem like a trivial thing, but I find people who dip fried sui gao into soup funny. Duh, well, it's fried for a reason, isn't it? I mean, well, there's FRIED sui gao and SOUP sui gao and you just basically have to choose one. Does that mean people who do that are indecisive? I don't think so. Maybe they just LIKE the texture of soggy dumplings. Which are funny. And weird. Haha, then again, IF you always do this I don't think you'd find it vair unusual of course. Honestly, I don't, either, cause I do know a lot of people do that, but what I DON'T get is, why?
My hypothesis : People who dip fried dumplings in soup do so because it is too crunchy and it goes, *Crunchcrunch* when you eat them and it is also too dry without soup (?) / They do so because they do not want to dip dumplings in sauce because they do not like sauce.

People who don't sing everyday
Maybe it's just me, but I do feel happier when I sing. Even sad songs? When you're happy, you've got the whole world laughing with you, but when you're sad, you think all the heartbreak songs in the world were written about you. You go, "Oh Yea! That DID happen!" and see? I mean, Taylor Swift's been through the same thing as you, and so did Mariah Carey but how come your pain hurts so much more? Hmm, next time you sing, think of the other people who might be sad because of you, then there's something else worth crying about more.
People who read the endings before beginnings
Say in a course of a book, the blurb says -
It would be much easier to tell this story if it were all about a chaste and perfect love between Two Children Against the World at an Extreme Time in History. But let's face it, that would be crap. Daisy is sent from New York to England to spend a summer with cousins she has never met. They are Isaac, Edmond, Osbert and Piper. And two dogs and a goat. She's never met anyone quite like them before - and, as a dreamy English summer progresses, Daisy finds herself caught in a timeless bubble. It seems like the perfect summer. But their lives are about to explode. Falling in love is just the start of it. War breaks out - a war none of them understands, or really cares about, until it lands on their doorstep. The family is separated. The perfect summer is blown apart. Daisy's life is changed forever - and the world is too.
(How I Live Now - Meg Rosoff)
Then, of course, we are propelled to read the book to find out, a) What changes Daisy's life?, b) and Why? , or course, this is exactly why I read the book - to seek a GREAT UNKNOWN. So, IF i had skipped to the back pages and known everything that happened in the book, I might not have felt the same way then if I had read the book from page 1 until the end. See, I love Daisy's naivety and how she grew as a city girl, jaded and so sure that she had seen the world until she was thrust into a different scenery, the sprawling English countryside and the all too sudden threat of war. I would not have appreciated Megg Rosoff's portrayal of Daisy and might even have hated her, had I known how the book ends.
People who have straight hair and DO NOT want curly hair
Naturally straight hair peeps SHOULD reserve the right to lust after curly hair. Doesn't it FEEL great to have a whole head of Shirley Temple curls? They're sooooooooo pretty! HAh. What about the kind of people who do not want curly hair -but rebonded hair-? As in, I fully understand that silky straight hair is nice, in a beautiful way, but what if you already have straight hair and you DO want STRAIGHT STRAIGHT hair? Well, people with wavy/curly hair are entitled to want straight hair, because well, they don't have it and you usually want most the things you can't have, which goes to say, that is the unofficial law of nature.
People who aren't spontaneous (even for a moment)
Okay, I fully comprehend that DEEP DEEP DOWN, we all like rollercoasters. Just that we have a pathological fear of them. See, they are so menacing, especially ones that are, like, the height of the heavens above, then what summons you the courage to ride them in the first place? Well, haha, for me, it's mostly spontaneity. I like spontaineity. A Chinese phillosopher once said, "People who dont plan are the BEST travellers." And, I have to say, I wholeheartedly agree. Spontaneity drives me, sometimes to do things people don't understand of me, nice things, that might make people around me happy. I guess that's why I'm always happy in the mornings! Like, Monday mornings, when I see everyone and I go "Hi!!!!! =) " and Yun will tell me - "SHANAN (in the apprehensive tone of hers), don't BE so PERKY!" rofl. No, I'm not perky. I'm spontaneously happy!
thinks of more stuff to put here, will continue!
