♥ Double? Triple?
I am totally exhausted. I have not been able to pamper myself lately and have been working like hell! Well, at least that't how life is around my work in September every year.
Anyway, I am back and I truly miss my daily ramblings. I encountered a situation during my exhausted hours of work. This guy (a senior officer - who I RARELY have any conversations except about work and have never joked around with) came up to me while I was enjoying my lunch (which wasn't much - like three tablespoons of rice, ayam masak merah yg paling kecil, daging kurma (just a small piece), and veggies) on Tuesday after being on my feet that morning and the last three days with 3 more days to go, babbled something to me.
I looked up at him and smiled while wondering what on earth was this guy saying? I guess he knew that I didn't hear him so he repeated what he said earlier (and with aloud voice that made the other people eating looked at me) which was - Cukuplah makan tu... karang badan dari size XL, jadi double XL takpun triple XL. I was like what is he trying to say? But I just kept quiet and went on eating which was just like playing with my food. I thought that he would just shut up. But I was damn wrong. He even continued that I will be a size 4XL with the same tone and volume. Oh my God! Can't he understand the ignorance that I gave? I guess he just thinks that he is superb and can say anything he wants because he is a senior officer. Or maybe he is just plain dumb.
Another incident happened while I was having my coffee break. I was just holding a cup of coffee while my friend had mee kari. I didn't have any because I was too exhausted to eat. My friend sat beside me and then came this officer. He said - haaa.. duduklah sebelah dia tu... Nanti boleh lawan saiz. This time I didn't keep quiet. My mouth just shot back at him. I said.. haaa... baguslah kalau macam tu..ramailah lagi saiz triple XL kat sini... senang sikit nak buat keje... tak payah tunggu kudrat lelaki... maklumlah.. lelaki banyaknya kaki ponteng... He was surprised and shocked to see that I would say anything like that. He just stared blankly and went away.
I mean what is it with people? Is being 'abnormal' in terms of size, a sin and an opportunity to be called names and being teased? Do people think that people with excess fat do not have feelings because their body is so huge that the small size of their hearts won't get hurt? Please change the way you think about others. Everyone - yes I mean even those with excess fat like me, have feelings. Sometimes I can laugh when you make a joke about my size and weight, but infront of others, I am not willing to be a laughing stock. I do have my pride and self-esteem to care for. Same goes with people with disabilities. Never make fun of them. They also have hearts.
I guess some people need to be reminded from time to time about this.
