a mean thing

this office girl from hwa called.

"hello, may i speak to chch pls?"

"this is chch speaking, how may i help u?"

"we are looking for volunteers to sell donation tickets this weekend"

"um...sorry, i am not available."

hwa girl chuckles

"did i say something funny?"

"i haven't told you the time and you already say you're not available, hee hee. what about next weekend?"

"i still don't think that's funny."

"so is this only for this period of time or are you not available to volunteer anymore"

"i can't speak to you now. thanks for calling"

after i hung up the phone, i immediately called sher and told her the story.

what is it in us that makes us want to be mean to people? how much does it take to be nice? we constantly bombard ourselves and others the niceness of being nice and yet, we are the very people who steal moments like this and try to use them to justify our wrongdoings. why can't everyone be like mother teresa? we need not save the whole world, just start being nice.

i'm so sorry, hwa girl. but i'm not sure if i'll have the guts to apologise if we meet someday.

may you have a good life.

Come to think of it, yeah, I can be very mean to people from banks trying to sell their credit cards!
