I was still at the office working today, when I got a chat message on my whatsApp . It was from one of my hiker friend, who was at one of the hill.She asked if I want to do lunch so I said ok, but she have to wait as I will only finish by 11.30am. Everything was confirm. She was to let me know the moment she is down at the foot of the mountain. She asked for a meeting and I suggested one which is near by my office . Later I got a message asking where I was. I thought she had already reached the meet up point, so I quickly locked up the office and when I reached our meet up point, she was no where to be found. I called her, she was still at the mountain. See people rushing you and they are still not ready? Any way when she finally arrived, she asked where we want to have lunch so I told her as agreed earlier -ulu tiram where another friend was waiting. She gave me a rather unhappy reply what? you should have asked me to wait there as I know the way there. So I am at fault now is it? Didn't you asked for a meet up point? That's what people do right especially if they are coming from the same direction. I asked if she was to lead the way since she was familiar with the place, but she said no and asked me to lead. I had my GSP so no worries. She was following closely until we reached ulu tiram , then she overtook me and droved like a F1 driver. Very soon I lost her, as I stopped at a traffic light and I had no way of calling her as my phone decided to go on a long sleep. I could not get it to boot up . Frustrated, I had to
returned home as I was anxious to check on my phone. Google a bit and finally found how to wake it up.
Footnote: she called later to apologized, her excuse was she could not stop by the roadside as motorist has honking at her. oh well I will give her the benefit of a doubt, but I will think twice , maybe trice if she asked for a lunch date next time.
Mood swing ha..well,at least she apologized..
ReplyDeleteHayley,
ReplyDeleteI thought you on holiday?
mood swing could be due to that time of the month I suppose.
Sometimes for a good friend, we need to lose in order to win leh,, so at least the friendship is still in tact,kan?
ReplyDeleteSo, did you manage to have the lunch at the end? This type of friend, surely no next time to meet up again.
ReplyDeleteJohnnie, I think a lot of your friends are taking you for granted. This girl friend of yours has attitude problem. I would try to avoid her, sorry to say so.
ReplyDelete@Eugene, if very old friend , ok la can overlook their short coming and can even overlook their short fuse. but not so close friends, next time will try to avoid to prevent such thing from happening. good for both sides.
ReplyDelete@sheoh yan- no i went back hungry. end up eating bread only. i was anxious to check on my phone. luckily it manage to wake up.
@yvonne. i totally agreed with you. she did msg me back and offer to 'buy' me next time. but i not so cheap skate one lol
I think she is thinking of something else while reading ur msg. That's y she get herself confusing. Anyway, Don angry la... English is not our mother language so we'll always have misunderstand wit each other. :)
ReplyDeleteVenie,
ReplyDeleteshe confessed later she was in a hurry for some appointment. well should have let me know or postpone our date right. anyway I except her explanation, I believe everyone should be given a 2nd chance . I don't think English is that confusing.
