i never liked to organise dinners or outings. but this week, i made the effort to organise a dinner with my uni friends since we have not had any gathering over the past weeks. the dinner was held last evening and it turned out horribly wrong. half couldn't make it. the usual latecomer was early and she was in a foul mood. in fact, it seemed that in recent times, she had been very irritable, impatient, and quick-tempered.
anyway, it was about 5 minute before our appointed time to meet and as i was about to arrive i recieved a call from her telling me she would queue up first. i told her there would be 4 of us and she replied "whatever" and just hung up. it did not sound right. and i hated it when i was made to face a black face when i arrived. and i felt uneasy when she chided the waitress for allowing others in first only to later find out that they had made prior reservations. also, when asked about my job-hunt, i shared that i had not met with any success yet and almost immediately, she responded that i had not tried hard enough, that there are so many teaching jobs and how come i did not even want to consider them and so on... i felt superbly offended with such a response when she did not even know the extent i went through. it was certainly not easy trying to hold my composure during this tense conversation.
i did not enjoy the dinner. having such questions and comments from people i had known for so long was very hurting. it spoilt my whole evening. and for once in a very long time, i sat through a dinner with a fake smile on my face.
ps: she smsed her apologies for being judgemental in the middle of the night.
