Hilarious.

This post is in honour of Sabrina Tan Chin Lynn aka my “MA” (in other words, mother, mum, mummy, whatever). Picture courtesy of STCL. Copyrighted and Protected. Please respect the person by not circulating the picture. Thank you.
So here’s the story:
A new batch of say close to 20 students just joined my class this year. And I’ve known my MA for close to a year now. Well, obviously I’m close to her and all. We always sit beside each other during class, buy things for each other, laugh our asses off during class, squabble, amongst other stuff. But we know our limits because she’s already got herself a boyfriend. The thing about us is, we’re wacky (@ the appropriate times, mind you) and that’s what I love, wackiness makes the world go round. Haha.
So this bunch of 20 odd newcomers joined my class and kinda thought that my MA and I are together. And I only found out today. OMG. I was like, “?!!!?!?!?!?! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!” over the phone when Sabrina called to tell me what she found out after her mini bus ride home with one of the newcomers in class.
Golly. People and their perceptions. Talk about not knowing the heart of the matter before judging. Ain’t blaming them but yea, just using this as an example to show how sometimes we might form a perception regarding a matter before getting to the bottom of it. And in the process, because of our already formed perceptions, we misread the situation and may even hurt some people too. Ok, so apparently they think I’m a sweet boyfriend! LOL. So that’s good news for me. At least I know where I stand. Haha. To be honest, I’m still laughing right now. It’s funny. Really funny. Gawd.
Oh, on a side note, I’m happy I’m starting to be more willing to give up my seats to people who need it more than I do. Not that I didn’t do it last time, but I’m being more proactive about it. Ain’t boasting here! Just want to encourage you guys to give up your seat to someone who needs it more than you do. It’ll make their day, as well as yours, trust me. (:
