Respect is earned, not bought.
Thursday 1849
Sometimes, I wonder if I am harsh person.
Or rude some may say.
The other day, I went to see one of the Head of School’s vices.
Some of you may still remember him, the one who made me turned into a green hulk lady some time ago.
I needed his signature for something urgent.
And since he has always been a Chipsmore biscuit, I had to wait for him outside his office so that I could get him before he clock out at 9am!
While searching for his pen to sign the cheques…
“Alala, pen saya ni semua pun tiada ink sudah….Bah, nanti tolong-tolong lah beli pen untuk saya.”
“Aiii Cikgu….pen pun tida buli beli?”
He didn’t reply.
Later, before I was about to leave the school to go to the bank, I met him and two other teachers.
Knowing that I was going to cash out the cheques (teachers’ tuition pay)…
“Bah Cikgu Carol….Saya lapar ni oh.” he said, smiling.
“Oh yakah? Tu kantin. Pigi lah sana…” I pointed at the canteen nonchalantly.
His smile faded.
The other two teachers chuckled.
Did I sound rude?
I thought so too.
But, knowing this man and how I (and some teachers) have been tolerating his attitude all this while…. I guess, what I did that day was OK.
I mean, he ought to be ‘punched’ once in a while.
I ain’t going to talk the bad sides of him cos talking about him here means I am talking behind his back.
That’s not good, right?
It just makes me realize, I can be THAT rude if the person ‘challenged’ me….especially if I am loosing my respect for him/her.
It’s tiring to flash a smile to someone when in fact, you feel like tearing him/her apart.
Kan? Kan? Kan?
Ya jangan lagi lupa itu *tuut* ni kali.. Ngehngeh..

when i dunt like people, i usually shut my mouth everytime they speak to me..paling2 pun sa akan cakap OK without feeling..hehehe..so paham2 la kan kita x suka…
i used to be like that especially if the person im talking to is someone with authority.
susah kan mau lawan ckp kalau yg bos2 betul.
but kalau setakat cigu yg pangkat PK saja and then obviously doesnt know a thing about his job, just makan gaji buta…aiii, sa tia tahan tu.
tida lah smpai bawa begaduh…tapi, buli bedarah jg hati kalau dingar lah.

Haha that is epic oh Chegu! kotoh baru tau dia kana katawa. Mau minta belanja pun tia pandai cover.
Actually IMO the ‘minta belanja’ thing is lame. That thing comes naturally baituh. And, don’t expect ppl to be nice to us if we are not doing the same. It takes two to tango
Bila sa ingat balik tu conversation, sa pun mau ketawa juga oh.
Abis the words just naturally came out from my mouth bah bcos lama sdhkan gerigitan sama dia.
Haha!

One day….one day….
