After I graduated, I encountered a few bees.
The first bee had been buzzing me for one year with 6-7 attacks. The initial few attacks are through phones..(I refused to pick up his call). Then, asking me to go out..(I refused to meet with him). After that, joining the dinner in my school...searching for me...(I didn't meet him). Finally, coming to school to look for me..(Our school clerk hold him). I asked my neighbour (the indirect culprit) to talk to him to end everything.
The second bee had been buzzing me for a few weeks (less than one month) with 2-3 attacks. Our first meet was on a fair. Then, I had things to ask him about service. I planned to go to his shop to buy something but, at last, I didn't go. I opted for cheaper service. He got my contact no. from friend. His attacks were through sms.. just a few messages... The game's over...when I turned cold feet to him.
The third bee had been buzzing me for one month with 2-3 attacks. I had a gathering with my friends. He was invited by my friends purposely. We had snack. After some time, I received forwarded message. I ignored it. After one week, another forwarded message. I just realised the new stranger's number. I asked who the owner is. It's he. He introduced himself. I replied politely 'Nice to meet you'. That's the end. It sounds funny. My friends told me that he has no confidence because he has lower salary than mine. FINE.
The fourth bee has been buzzing me for three months so far with up to 7 attacks so far.
We met in a dinner just like stranger. After a few months, his auntie approached my mm for my contact. Fine. First sms introduced himself. First call introduced one another and family background. First meet talking about his stuff. After all, I only replied his sms if possible...always miss his call...no time to meet until refuse to meet. Lately, he plans to 'attack' through email. I didn't bother to give to him. Hope he knows the 'message'.

A visit
Grandma paid a visit to my house lately for a week.
Honestly, I'd undergone communication breakdown with this lady.
The generation gap is too wide until I didn't even bother to cross it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM: Recently, do you have any friends?
M: (Oh no! Definitely the old dusty topic again.) What kinds of friends you refer to?
GM: Intimate boyfriendlah.
M: (See!) No.
GM: What about last time the accountant guy? Didn't he want to be friend with you?
M: (Damn it! How did you know it? You're quite informative and up-to-date) Friend? Again, what types of friend you refer to.
GM: Of course, being boyfriend.
M: If being boyfriend, no. (We ain't even friend.)
GM: My neighbour, a teacher, asked me whether I had any girls who are single. Her son got male friends who are single.
M: (Damn it! What the hell) Who is the teacher?
GM: From a school. She wants to see your photo.
M: What for? (If she's looking for models, I'm NOT model.)
GM: Just to see.
M: (What's the point? She's not looking a partner for his son. Come on! Just her son's friend! She has no authority to see the photo as if she is the mother of them.) No need.
GM: Come on! No harm to let her to see your photo.
M: I don't have any. (Who cares for it!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM was looking at my graduation's framed photos.
GM: Just give me any of your photos. She will help you to find a guy. No harm.
M: (Damn it! Who knows what the hell she is going to do. Passing a photo as if I'm the superstar. I'm not a clown!) No. (Fussy woman!) I don't have any photos.
After she left, I did something so that the photos out of her sight.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM: Is this a hair spray?
M: What do you want?
GM: (examining it) Ya. This is the hair spray for hair fall treatment. Do you use it?
M: Of course I use it...or else, it won't be “such a little”.
GM was spraying it without any permission!
(Spittt...)
(Spittt...)
(Spittt...)
(Spittt...)
(Spittt...)
(Spittt...)
(Spittt...)
M: (Arghh! My EXPENSIVE hair fall treatment spray! Poor you! I only spray twice in four days.)
(Spittt...)sssss
After she left, again it would be out of her sight.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM just finished taking her bath and of course washing her hair.
GM: My hair is falling.
M: (pretend not to hear her)...
GM: (taking mum's hair spray) How does it work?
M: I don't know.
Mm: Shake it and spray it.
Mm was helping her.
Mm: It seems it cannot be used..I had left it there for quite a long time. May be it frozen.
GM: (Targeting on other spray) Is it for hair spray?
M: I don't know. I didn't use it.
GM: (asking Mm) Is it a hair spray?
Mm: Read the label. Body lotion spray. Not for hair.
M: (I guess she knew it.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM: Long time ago already told your mm to do dumplings to sell. She said troublesome. Only now, she does it.
M: Last time, she hasn't known how to make.
GM: Don't know how to make. She can learn. Last time, I also told her to bake meat rice dumpling to sell. She said no need while a lot people want meat flavour. Only now, she is willing to do so. How many opportunities she gave away..?
M: (Sigh, if you want to complain about my mm and don't dared to talk in front of her, what is the point to talk in front of me. Are you expecting me to tell her since you don't want to talk in front of her?) ...
I ignored her. Don't bother about her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mm: The accountant guy's auntie came to see me again. She asked you to go out and have a drink with him.
M: (Oh no. This bee!) Why don't you just tell her that we're not suitable?
GM: If you go out with him this time, he will definitely be quiet all the time.
M: What? What did you tell them? Saying that he is talkative?
Mm: No. I just tell her auntie that he is quite sociable. No harm to him.
M: To him, he would think sociable=talkative. Why don't just tell him directly I have no feeling towards him?
Mm: Then, he will think you are the main problem.
M: So what? Who cares about his perception towards me. No relation with him anymore.
GM: Need to look of mate. You're no longer seventeen years old...already approaching thirties. You thought you want to depend on your brother?
M: I never thought of this. You are the one who said that. I can support my own life. I got my own career.
Mm: I will be getting old.
M: Everyone will be getting old. That's nature.
Mm: Then, no one will take care of you.
M: I will take care of myself.
GM: When you getting old, you need partner to accompany you.
M: Not necessarily. (Not all partners will live long. Some may leave us early or we may leave the world earlier. Grandpa is one of those who left us early).
I just left with hidden rage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM likes to wear outdoor slippers into our house. Anyway, it's fine to us. No one would complain about it. I'm the one who cleans and mops the floor. How dirty the floor is!
GM: The floor is dirty. Aih~ It must be the dogs which step in and out the house making the house so dirty.
M: (OMG! If you said the dogs, you're the 'dogs'--the 'Mr. Nobody' who did the mischief!) ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM: Come here and help me to switch on the DVD player. I want to play the DVD.
M: Which one (DVD)?
GM: This.
I helped her to switch on the DVD player and play the MTV.
GM: (calling me again) switch it off and change another DVD. The MTV is not interesting and melodious.
M: (Gosh! Save me! You are the one who bought the DVD and wanted me to play it. You are the one who said it is not melodious and wanted me to stop it!) ...
I didn't take any action. Let her be.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sweetie
B: Unwrap the present.
M: Let me take a photo of it to show to brother.
After taking photo...
B: Em. It tastes delicious.
M: How much does it cost?
B: 50 local cash.
M: It's really expensive. There are 49 pieces. One piece costs 1 dollar. Then, I've to taste it slowly. It's really sweet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mm: It's too sweet.
M: B said it costs 50 local cash.
Mm: He shouldn't buy from airport...should buy the cheaper packets of chocolate.
M: Don't complain in front of him. He took initiative to buy us gift. He has the "heart" for us.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, when I examined the gift package. It stated..
"The Seven Gods of Fortune (in Japanese mythology):
Ebisu, god of fishermen or merchants, often depicted carrying a sea bleam
Daikokuten, god of wealth, commerce and trade
Bishamonten, god of warriors
Benzaiten, goddess of knowledge, art and beauty, especially Music
Fukurokuju, god of happiness, wealth and longevity
Hotel, the fat and happy god of abundance and good health
Jurojin, god of wisdom"
I guess these are the blessings that meant by B. Thanks, B.

Skin Care
AD: Auntie, can you give me the Skinfood bottle?
Mm: No. I want to keep coins.
AD: I also want to use Skinfood. My cousin also uses it for skin care. Does Teacher(M) use it as well?
Mm: Yes.
AD: No wonder. She looks different this year if compared to last year.
E: You look different if compared to last year. Now, you are fairer. You used to be dark. Do you make up?
M: Not really. Just skin care product.
E: What's it?
M: I guess Skinfood.
E: It's effective.
M：（I'm not sure. Whether it is Skinfood or Garnier. It is because I use both at the same time. Let me recall...my skin care products that I had used since six years ago:
Firstly (six yrs ago): Toujours (recommended by MM's friends)
Secondly (last yr): Skinfood (recommended by friends)
Thirdly (this yr): Garnier (recommended by TV show)
Mm: No. I want to keep coins.

Arrangement = Restriction
Mm: Did he call lately?
M: Em. But I didn't answer.
Mm: You don't have to be so cruel.
M: Not suitable. Why need to waste our time?
Mm: Just be friend.
M: You are the one who said "Going-out" means "Date".
Mm: Just go out for a drink and give yourself a try.
M: What for going out together if you know you are not serious with him for the rest of your life time?
Mm: Not necessarily friend needs to be life partner.
M: If it's not going to be life partner, what for becoming friend with a guy?
Mm: Just be friend. We've arranged for you.
M: If you arranged the guys, not necessarily every guy needs to be my life partner! That's ridiculous!
Mm: I'm not saying that. Just be friend.
M: (I shout out in my heart. C'mon! It's you who said "Going-out" = "Date"!!!)
We don't have to talk about it. We have different perceptions.
M: Em. But I didn't answer.

We don't have to talk about it. We have different perceptions.
Exaggerate
After lesson...
M: Look at the eraser dust on the floor!
Ss A: Not mine.
Ss B: It's not mine as well.
Ss A: When I arrive at this place, I already saw the eraser dust on the floor.
M: You liar, I swept and mopped the floor before you guys come here.
(Ss A and Ss B are picking up the dust themselves.)
Ss A: The dust white in colour belongs to you. Your eraser is white in colour.
Ss B: Yours is black in colour.
Ss A: White..Mine...Black...Black...Yours
Ss B: White...White...Yours...
Ss A: In fact, all should be yours. I haven't erased anything today.
M: You are a big liar...That's impossible!
