Dense people
I am so surprised at how seemingly smart intellectual people can swtich to imbeciles without warning. I mean, which part of "the seat is taken" don't you understand? OR which part of "do i need to put in the scientific names for this question" don't the Lec understand? Oh..by the way, the Lec has a doctorate and the former question is referring to this classmate of mine wanting to be the next millionaire business man in the Biotech field.
Now, for those interested, this is what happened in class just before and during the test.
Everyone was settling down and leaving our bags at the front or back of the class. There i was standing behind my seat, watching over my friends seats (obviously they were stuck at the font of the classrom). Then came i-wanna-be-a-millionaire-boss YC and happily took one of the chairs. My reaction would obviously be to tell him that the seats are taken. And as self absorbed as he can be, he said, "There's no bag on the table nor is there a name or person on the chair." Tired and all, i repeated myself with much angst. Then again, came his same utterly stupid reply. Infuriated, i screamed at him and told him that he could jolly well take the chair at the back with all those bags on it and leave this chair alone. Being the asshole any guy can be, he told me to go get that chair instead. OMG!! TIAN LI HE ZAI?!? I came first and booked the seats and i have to give it up to someone??
You might say that i'm kicking up a storm in a tea cup. But here's something for you. I am a lady and i expect guys to be gentlemanly. Stop touching or taking the things that the lady wants you to leave alone. Need something? Go get it yourself and not from another lady. Most importantly, i must admit, i am very tired as i had only 2hrs of sleep. The last thing i need would be another self-absorbed i-am-all-that guy.
Anyway, back to what's happening in class.
Infuriated and tired, i decided that i should stop trying to make him understand my point. I went over to the seats with lotsa bags on it and placed everything on the table next to it. Of course, i did that with a little swearing. If i don't, that's not me. Somehow, when i started moving the bags, he realised my point and came over. But some guys are always slow. In movement and in getting things into their puny brains. By the time he came over, i had already lifted the chair and preparing to bring it over. He then took it from me as conveniently as the way he wanted to take the previous chair. I was even more infuriated but decided to let the matter drop. Then loudly to him, i said, "Never anger a lady". Nope. I didn't swear this time round.
During the paper, I asked my Lec if i needed to write out the scientific names of the fishes. "I cannot tell you anything pertaining to the question paper" came another stupid reply. Just that this this round, it's from someone with a doctorate. I can ask that question during exams. Why can't i ask it during tests?? I ain't asking for answers what! Even my classmates are bewildered at her reply. You can't say i'm being difficult here. The whole class feels the same way. Bleh!
At a glance
3 bad days in a row for me and my mum in total. Mum injured her forehead the day before yesterday and it caused her to lose a considerable amount of blood and a blue-black eye at the end of the day. Yesterday, mum fell down a flight of steps on her way home due to the heavy rain earlier. The fall resulted in a painful blue black at the end of her spine and back aches that were so terrible, she had to have me help her up when she's lying down or seated on a cushion.
As for me, I had to experience 2 consecutive days of irritation by self-absorbed guys and a stupid Lec who pronounces 'water' in a very indian way. I really need to sleep. I might just kill the next person that comes by to irritate me.
Mum taking 2 days off from work at the cafeteria. My little cousin, Sarah, is ill and Aunt is elated to know of the 2 days break. Guess she misses her kids now when she's not constantly at home. But she's did complain that she can't go play mahjong with her friends coz Sarah is ill. haahaa..
