Hurtful comments

Never imagined I could be so sensitive to what others say about me....especially those bad and spiteful stuffs. Yesterday at choir, we were practising one of our old pieces, Now Every Tree, when I kena suaned by one of the guys for forgetting to bring my scores. Its not like I mind his suan-ing...that's nothing...good friends suan each other all the time. Its what he said at the end (in front of EVERYONE) which was esp hurtful....“哇， 你也会忘记的meh？上个星期你讲我忘记，今天到我讲你了！“ And when I said I actually memorised the song, but just needed to refer to some parts for the counting rests...he said (this I'll always remember) “Excuses excuses excuses! Want another copy say lah...." And everyone was like looking at me silently.....so you can imagine how 难下台 I felt? The only thing I could do was totally ignore his comments and his existence and continue my singing. SHEESH!!! How could such a petty guy actually exist???? Its true I do constantly remind people to bring their scores, cos our choir members have the habit of not bringing their scores, and keep taking new ones till we run out of them very frequently. But I don't think I've ever ticked off other people like what this guy did, and I certainly do not do it in front of everyone.

This experience has taught me to always watch what I say...cos somehow sometimes, people may mistake our intentions and reasons for the things we said. But I had thought this guy could be one of my good friends, since we've had quite a great time together during our choir trip in Brunei. It just seems sad this incident occured. But of course, everyone has their faults and good points and being his friend, I feel I stil have to accept both sides of him. Its not like I'm perfect anyway, and perhaps, what I said the other time to him about his forgotten scores did hurt him a little, even though I had no recollection of it at all. But at that point of time yesterday, I really felt soooo embarassed and wounded by his comments. Quite a difficult thing to forget.
