You Thick-Skin!!!I seriously cant believe how thick-skinned some people are... isn't it common knowledge to know when someone is irritated with you already? I mean, it's not the first time already and this time, I am really very appalled by how far one can go in terms of the thickness of one's skin. (Am I making sense here? I dun tink so... juz finished my soci of family paper and it's 2 plus am now and I'm angry)
Anw this was what happened. We were supposed to hand in our take-home quiz of 80 questions for my perfumes and cosmetics module. For these 80 qns we were given the specific websites to go explore and to find out if the statements given to us on the quiz are true or false. I admit it is quite a tough quiz, not in the sense that the questions are difficult, but more of the tedious searching process of the very informational websites. There's so many subheadings and sections to explore, and after a while you'll really go kok-eyed lor.
So what happened was that since we alr S/U-ed this module, Tab and I decided to share the workload, in the sense that she does the first 40 qns on perfumes and I do the next 40 qns on cosmetics... and then we share share our answers and tada! Completed! Ok, and so the quiz is due tmr. Just now I was in my dad's car on our way home frm dinner when this other girl also taking the same module as us msged me asking abt the quiz. Apparently she haven even started. I mean, she dun even know where she is supposed to find the answers lor! And I was already very vexed cos of my soci of family report my answers to her wasn't exactly what you'll call nice.
Then when I logged onto msn just now at 10 plus, she came and tok to me, and the first qn she asked me was "hey wad's the answer to question 6?" Question 6... she has a LONG way to completion man. And so I was checking my answers for her when I realised I still haven gotten Tab's part of the answers, so meaning I dun have the answers for the first 40 qns. So I told her that la, that I was doing it with Tab and haven gotten the first 40 ans. (Yes... stupid big mouth me... shld have juz shut up la!) And guess what her reaction was? "Oh u got the answer for the last 40 qns? Can share share?"
I was lyk... WTH!?! Ok even if it's a take home quiz but u dun actually blatantly ask someone for the answers like that right? And you never even contribute your answers to anything! And who can u blame but urself for starting on it only NOW?? So being the ever-so-panicky me when it comes to situations like this, I called my dear Tab, who happened to be sleeping from her groggy voice. And she also felt that it's ridiculous for her to ask me for aunswers so blatantly... and it's not just one or two questions, but a whole chunk of 40!?! So Tab asked me to put my nick as busy or away and dun reply her, which was what I did. And after a while, she msged me on msn again, "eh... share can?"
In the end I blocked her. But that was not all. After a very short while, like less than an hr ltr she smsed me on my hp, saying that she'd finally finished the questions and wan to double check the answers with me. It's kinda ridiculous cos it is impossible to finish the entire 80 qns in less than half an hr. I took at least 3 hrs to finish my 40 qns lor! So my sis said obviously she is just using that excuse to get answers from me and not to reply her msg. Sigh... but being the all so useless me, I felt it would be more polite to reject her subtly, so I replied her saying that I haven even wrote the answers down on the OAS, now super busy trying to rush through my family report, and I'm not even halfway thro (which is a lie of cos, I was abt 3/4 thro la). A normal person should get the hint alr rite? Not her! She replied saying, "aiyah nvm one la, just run thro the answers very fast one, I call u now."
My sister scolded me for replying just now and immediately took my fone frm me and turned it off. That was scary man.... and now, I seriously dunno how am I supposed to face her in class tmr. But seriously... some pple should really learn how to get the hint and be more automatic. I am such a loser when handling thick-skinned people... not the first time already lor... wth.
