faux paux !

i totally agree that its better not to speak and be thought dumb , than to speak and to be proven dumb.
yesterday i was singing wonderwall to myself and that sparked off a conversation between zan and i about rock concerts , because oasis was in town recently.
so he goes on to tell me that he attended dream theater's concert a couple of months ago.
to be honest , i know ZILCH about dream theater except that their members are pretty old.
but i didn't want to create a dead-end by just nodding my head in acknowledgement and risk looking ignorant ( and also to prove that i'm very very clever ) so i any-old-how ramble
"oh .. dream theater.. always thought they're quite similar to lep zeppelin"
zan stared at me in wonder
"led zeppelin ? similar ? !!!"
"errr .. yah.. quite similar what.. they're from the same era what ?"
"no leh , lep zeppelin's from the 70s and DT's during the 80s and 90s leh"
oh shit. what a big boo-boo i had made. so i tried to save my sorry ass by making another general pseudo-statement
"aiyah , almost same what. and their music also kinda similar"
"similiar meh ? they're like totally different"
oh shit. the damage done to my ego's irreversible.
i must learn not to be so act-smart.
okay back to my dreaded project.
fuck the oscar's by the way. its a bloody rigged scam. brokeback only won one award.
