Perhaps...

Had some free time and read thru some entries of this blog and a few chubs’. Noticed that there still exists the concern that ‘chubs are sidelined’, ‘chubs are now a force to be reckoned with’, ‘chubs are now accepted’. Funny. Amusing. Coz it’s written by chubs. Coz chubs refer themselves as a different entity. It’s like there’re gays, there’re pengkids (read: lesbians) and then there’re chubs.

Perhaps I dunno what’s going on. Perhaps I dunno they did, and still do, suffer. Perhaps I dunno what being PLU, and Malaysian, and chub felt like. I thought those beliefs were so like 5 years ago. Perhaps it still exists. Perhaps coz I dunno what the general mainstream PLUs beliefs are. Perhaps coz I’m a chaser (then again, I’m too slim to be a chub, too chub to be a slim, and not enuff meat to be a cub, so what does that make me? A slub? Scub?). Then again, does it matter? Perhaps not.

Did my own observation (not long, probably only about 4 years) and seemed like: c4cs are a confident lot, and c4ss are reserved. In a society where first impression DOES count, then perhaps that’s not a surprise at all. And yeah, it’s a highly competitive society too. I also find c4ss dress smarter than c4cs. Then again, it’s just one man’s perception. Wanna argue?

Ok, so you’re being judged by your outer appearance. So what else is new? Still, deep down, it does feel like shit when you’re judged in 10secs. Now it does make sense why everyone dresses up to go to Kak Ara. But Gucci sunglasses and Manolo Blahnik boots at 12 midnite? Ok, so no boots, but you get the idea. My god-sister Maimunah, now called Madonna, sang “Rejection is the greatest aphrodisiac”. How true.

It’s cool that chubs have their own choice of attires. I’m still looking for a cafe where the chubs cook while wearing aprons, only. Hmm, wouldn’t that make me guilty of judging them from outer appearance? Hehehe… what the hell…
