UNreasonable

[I was 'queueing up' at a vegetarian stall to get my dinner. This lady squeezed her way thru to the front and I tot she is looking at the dishes she want to choose. Fine. After the indian lady infront of me (which I graciously let her go first thou I was ahead of her as the queue line was a bit 'blur') was served, the lady uttered her order - she wanted to packet 2 dishes. I was like ...isn't my turn first?]
Me : EXCUSE me
[In mandarin]
Lady : What, I know this stall very well. That side got people standing. So, I order here.
Me : Then? So? You have to queue up. [I signalled to the lady ahead of me ... and claimed that I am in the queue, and next ... the indian lady said - dun bother nor quarrel with her.)
Lady : You got no 'feng du' ...what a man. You serve this man first (she signalled to the stall owner) Dun want to argue with you.
Me : What, me dun want to argue with such 'lao nu ren', so unreasonable. never queue.
Lady : I also dun want to argue with you 'lao nan ren'. [Me felt like boxing her ...]
I got my food, and walked away ...and turned around and said - Stupid woman!
I guess this woman must be using 'this tactic to get round queues' ...and me wun just give in. Haha.

Low

My self-esteem is not usually high. And it runs in the family.

Appraisals

This is the time of the year that everyone is busy/stressed with appraisals. In my current job, I had to handle this ...and guess what, I dun like the process and idea. In my prior job, I only need to provide inputs...now, I am tasked to co-ordinate it at a local level and worse, facilitate the sessions....sigh.... It is not easy, who am I to do this? this is HR matters. Does it then mean, I am destined to go back to 'HR work' when I just 'got out of it' 10 years agon to focus on comms work? Irony!
