Wad A Day.
I dun wanto say dis aloud, but i have to. It's sensitive, but i JUST have to.
I tink I have issues wif some Christians.
Some Christians. I repeat SOME Christians.
Somehow, their frequencies r different. I dun wanto use the word
odd coz to dem, i mite be the odd one.
But dey r a lil' in their own world to mi & I duno if it has something to do wif their teachings or the core values preached, but their mentality reli puzzles (& pissed) mi off sometimes.
A common thing i realize about dem is dat dey tend to be a lil' too sensitive. And U never noe when u r threading on their tails.
Take today for instance.
Ah Beng passed us her fellow church mate's CV coz she happens to be looking for a job. Upon receiving the profile, I randomly commented about her who happens to be named Sugar (it's in her IC) dat she has such a u-noe...urmmm...unique name & dat i dun tink i wud be comfortable addressing her wif dat name coz it's like calling somebody u duno v well "Honey" or "Chocolate" or "Creamer" u noe? So i rather call her Ashley, which oso happens to be part of her name.
It's just weird for me. U noe? I noe it's her given name, but it doesn't sound very professional in the business world & i was honestly just making a random comment.
Best part is my client was teasing about the name as well even tho i didnt say anytg to him. When i shared the funny situation (at dat time, it was still a funny one),
Ah Beng got very upset.
Even without malicious intent or wadsoever, i was shot rite in the face by A
h Beng who may i say, reacted very unnecessarily to my mindless comments.
She outrightly expressed her unhappiness of my attempt of poking fun at her fren's name, when i obviously was making a neutral statement. And wif her naturally bellowing voice, she commented dat i was too straight-forward & tactless, loud enough for the office to hear. She even warned mi against laughing at the candd when she comes to c mi in the noon coz it will be offensive.
I got agitated. Very agitated.
No 1: I tink before i speak, at least i tink more than she does.
No 2: In terms of tact, if i score 50 upon 100, she wud definitely bag a negative 50. Max.
No 3: She was obviously over-reacting even if it was wrong of me to say wad i said (i m not saying i m wrong btw).
No 4: I tink she nids to grow up.
No 5: I cannot control wad my client wans to say about the candd's name rite?!
So i lashed out uncontrollably, exclaiming dat i dun understand wad is the bloody big deal wif saying wad i said? I simply stated dat i prefer to address her by Ashley over the name Sugar. It's not like i'm making derogatory associations with her fren's name u noe???
Later on, she popped mi in private saying dat "Pls dun make fun of my fren's name. I dun like. Thanks."
By then, my blood was boiling.
I honestly wanted to walk up to her & gif her 1 tight slap.
Thanks my ass!
I replied something like she shud noe the difference b/w a comment wif malicious intent & one dat is harmless. And dat i dun understand y she lost her normal humorousness bcoz of dis.
She replied she just dun like. And she doesn't tink it's funny.
I wanted to say if she dun tink it's funny den dun laugh, y get pissed wif the rest of us who appreciates the humour??
She den proceeds to make another worthless & gut-wrenching statement saying dat she has said wad she must say so let's drop the topic.
WAD THE FUG?!?!?!
She was the one who started over-reacting & den she confronted mi halfway den wanto run when i m so hot
liaoz?!
I say FUG KEW! (ok i didnt reli say dat. But i wanted to.)
So i continue to pop her to xplain to her dat she shud be less sensitive & wif a name lydat, i tink the candd wud have been very used to getting comments oredi, n wad my client wans to comment is not my problem rite. So wads the big deal?!?!
Anyway, she simply replied a patronizing "ok" to end the whole issue whereas we bof noe dat we r not ok.
Later of the day, she started to tok to mi 1st. (Gosh. Dis is all so childish lo. Like some secondary school frenship problem melodrama.)
We were bof trying to act normal when obviously there is still a prick. I told Kat, sometimes, working wif gurls is such a bitch coz dey r so fugging sensitive can!?
Thru out the argument, i did not apologize at all bcoz i simply do not tink i m at fault. I didn't tink it was such a serious matter & she totally over-reacted, which was uncalled for coz it made mi feel damn accused lo.
Kat said i shud drop the issue altogether since it bothers
Ah Beng so much but i told her i m not gonna take things lying down & leave words unsaid between mi & her when obviously, she has some hidden agenda about mi which i do not appreciate. I can even do the confrontation face-to-face if she's up to it.
I rather things get laid on the table once & for all, than she going to gossip around behind my back, which i m 100% sure she is gonna to anyway.
Anyway, screw her. Hopes she gets a pimple-breakout.
Phew.
So much better to blog it off.
O well, we do have a consolation for the day; we wento Jumbo for dinner! Yay! It's welfare day!
We ate cereal prawns, drunken prawns, mushrooms, brocoli, vege, fish, chill & pepper crabs, noodz, chicken, duck & sago for dessert!
*Burp*
No wonder Ber remarked dat we all smelt like seafood when we got onto his car.
Muahahahaha.
