20.04.08 - Day 5 (Madrid)

Sunday at Madrid = Flea market day. where all the antique and sell-anything sellers set up stores around La Latina Metro station for the morning... expected like lotsa old cute items on sale but was greeted by a kinda expensive basah malam. all the t-shirts and cheap jeans, plus earrings and blah blah~

Walked around and ended up buying pearly chain (1 eur each) X 3 and pashmina scarf (2 eur each) X 2. Scarves are like those things you buy and store in the wardrobe for years without using (since in SG it's so darn hot) but it's still worth buying anyway... --> WOMEN.

Left for yet another of Madrid's museum - the Reina Sofia museum? which is like where Dali paintings are and blah blah~ realised Dali's painting is actually kinda intriguing. contemporary art. thin line between nice and rubbish.

Had SUPERBLY NICE PIZZA after that... duno if it's really the pizza being freshly baked or the cheese is like stretchable or the champinon (mushrooms) are like so yummylicious or simply that i'm too freaking hungry but it really taste SO GD. the pizza was like big and i finished every single bit. i'm really turning into a fat pig. -_-

Next was like the highlight of my day. I went to a BULLFIGHT. it's like the tradition and culture of Madrid and since i'm there i decided to see it no matter what.

well it was then when i realised it's so fucking hard to explain to others how you think about this when all they give you once you start explaining is twisted retarded facial expressions saying "are you crazy??"

Seriously, it's a culture. Respect is the word. and respect others who have more interest in other things that you are not interested in. i was like so close to losing my cool and screaming "SHUT UP" in her face.

and please girl, if you don't want to participate, DON'T. stop complaining and complaining and complaining about how cruel or how inhumane this is, and swearing "I WILL NEVER SUPPORT A BULLFIGHT" and then next thing u're queuing up for the tickets.

and when you go in, if you don't like what you see, please LEAVE and stop complaining non-stop about this and that. like STOP.

and frankly speaking, if you are so darn rich and you so do-not-mind paying 100eur more for a normal airline than a "not trustworthy" and "really bad" budget airline, i have no idea why you are taking this plane with us.

i feel SO MUCH BETTER ranting here to myself... cos the other people seems to be totally okay with whatever she said. i REALLY totally cannot take it. and i totally lost my respect for a 26 years old.

but well, at least i learnt, when i am 26 myself, i will not be as materialistic as you, will not complain as much as you, will not brag as much as you.

Seriously, if rich people love bragging, i'd rather be a poor but humble my entire life.

Back to Bullfighting. i watched 3 bulls being sacrificed and i wouldn't say i totally support this but since it's a culture, i would want it to stay. remember i read on this guy's blog previously and he tried this drink with snake blood and snake heart in some country.. and he got bombarded in the end cos people are saying that it's cruel and all~

i think i understand how he feels now. and i think he would have understood me too~ glad that there's at least one person in the whole world who would not view me differently cos of what i do. =)

A humble lady is what i want to be.
