Misinterpretation ~ *well, this entry could be boring, lemme warn u*

Jumaat lepas kan aku tak gi school sbb rasa cam maleh laks kan and melepak kat umah ajer. Afterall aku dah mula sakit2 tekak and badan macam nak demam but thank God tak jadik demam. So aku email lah bernardo kabo kat dia sbb ada seminar haritu and although it's not compulsory tp sbb dia yg handle nyer, aku pong nak habaq la awal2. Normally kalau aku away from school or my cubicle, mmg aku habaq kat dia just in case sv cari ker or other academics and colleagues cari ker, he'll know what to say.

So my email went like this:

Hey bernardo,
How are you?
Just wanted to tell you that I wont be going to both the seminar and the workshop coz am not feeling that well myself..(actually since yesterday).
So, am not going to school today too..
See you next week!

so, got reply from him berbunyi gini:

Thanks for being sympathetic and getting ill as well. I am feel really bad, but I have to go to the dentist and then to the seminar, and to the dinner...very tired!!!

REst,Best,Bernardo

Aku memula dapat email balasan dia nih...first instance aku terasa cam dia nih cakap kasar ngan aku.,.cam perli aku tak gi school & seminar tuh..when, u know he was in worst condition but still go to all those kan....dinner tu mmg aku tak rsvp pong, payah aaa kang depa nak cari2 rest halal just bcoz of me, baik takyah gi...so, dalam hati aku...aikk betui kaa dia nih cam marah jer ngan aku nih..that's what i felt at that time..anyway, instead of replying to him.,.i decided to wait till monday jer lah nak tanya face to face senang citer.

Anyway, sabtu haritu aku kan gi school and dia pong ada kat school. Lepas the usual tegur2 sembang2 sesikit...we usually started the day with, sedikit citer of each other like how r u today, how was yesterday, how's yr partner doing, how's yr husband, how was yr mtg with sv yesterday and such. Lepas tu baru memasing sengap soh buat keje.

Then, aku pong terus cakap straightforward jer kat dia. Being close with him has taught me to be even more direct and straightforward than before, with him that is. Coz he's always been like that when he want to criticize or praise me and likewise, aku pong dah terikut dah cara dia. It's like both of us give our sincere comments about each other, be it about work/research or life or relationship with our supervisors or colleagues.

So i asked him:

"U know, the email that u sent me yesterday..i thot u sounded harsh and as if u're mad at me for not coming to the seminar, is that what u really meant?"

and his response? surprised of course! his face looked damn surprise.

he said,

"what do u mean by that?"

so aku citer2 la apa aku ingat and interpret dr email dia tuh...and he laughed out loud!

he said,

"i meant well, silly girl! i said that because i was the one who had flu and cold earlier and now that u got infected from me, i felt bad that u had to stay home"

then i said,

"owhh really? u didnt mean it like what i thot earlier?"

and he said,

"not at all!"

so, case closed.

yeap.....that's my problem sometimes. Tend to interpret things the other way round...but oh well, everybody does the same thing at times too, yes?

Wokess...happy working all!
