It's been super long since I last blogged and to be honest, I don't really want to make a comeback with a nasty rant-y post. but then again for some reason I was reminded of a certain incident which probably happened about 2 weeks ago, and I cannot contain the anger. So I decided that instead of venting it out on any loved ones, I shall find a way to deal with it - "talk" about it.

So before every story starts, the characters need to be introduced.

A - watch lover. decent income, decent number of branded stuff too. self proclaimed "dove" ie someone who relates to/feel for others and are more compassionate.

S - decent income, decent number of branded stuff. likes to talk about how well she does etc; sometimes in the process may bring others down.

Me.

Okay prior to this story, both went to country B together last year and towards the end of the trip, they had a free day to do shopping. So S kept teasing (I can't think of another appropraite word right now) A that she "will want to go XXX YYY to shop right" when A didn't really want to. So basically A wasn't too happy that S wanted to go shopping AND wanted someone to go with her but wasn't straightforward about it. So when A came back, her words was that she "didn't really like S"

But I guess words are words after all. This time round, they suddenly became the best of friends...?

On this particular Monday, I decided to put on my G2000 blue pants (which I hardly wear nowadays cos I am no longer as skinny as I used to be, but yet I don't really want to give it away cos I really like it) and according to them, I looked like a salesperson from Hourglass.

Hence I joked "should I sell you watches now"
In response, both said "你有MEH?"

EXCUSE ME. 

What'a with that degrading tone that I don't have branded watches?
Okay fine I don't. Why should I spend my money on something which I will be so scared of damaging/scratching it then it ends up being at home? Yes I know it appreciates when it is left alone in the box but I would rather grow the money elsewhere. I ain't defined by brands.

But that still doesn't grant you ladies (I am minding my words. I shall and must rise above all low acts) the rights to look down on others like that.
Always think of others' feelings cos she will herself as a dove? Pui (I haven't even mentioned about the other time she TREID to joke that my skin colour would be too dark to see any signs of being caned and when I didn't response? She went on to ask in a jokingly-but-I-didn't-find-it-too-amusing if she can try on me the next day. I just orh-ed her.)
Always think she is very lovable? Pui. Now I kinda also understand why she fell out with J. It wasn't a sudden thing. It might have been a built up.

Wah talking about this post is making think of so many other (unhappy incidents) with almost everyone.
1) Country V where they left me when I told them I was heading to the toilet. If not for someone who dropped something important, I would really have been left stranded without connection.
2) Country T where they talked about my generation being an issue etc and that I like to talk about enervation gap, when they are always the first to bring it up... Oh, and not forgetting the night of getting drunk and disapproving me when she was sharing her life experiences. erm I was nodding my head in acknowledgement. That's not 敷衍 cos if it was, I would not have listened so attentively. Bleh
3) Country K where I became a free translator and had to "offer" help when they were supposed to look out for me. Okay but then again, they really did look out for me cos they kept jio-Ing me to eat. I hope :/
4) Country T where they went out themselves and didn't jio me. I can almost picture what their exact words would have been...
5) Asking me to suggest places/activities etc when they will confirm not accept. Then why ask???
6) Going ahead with my suggestion then showing the unhappiness later on.

Sigh. I hate it when they always talk about me (and my generation) being an issue in their lives, but 彼此彼此 please.
They are nice people - who isn't seriously? But sometimes I feel, their "high EQ" is maybe not so much higher than my "low EQ"...

Okay after writing this, and shedding a few tears, I feel so so so so so much bettter.
To a better tomorrow and myself!!!
