Would it be embarrasing if you thought someone was offering you a drink only to find out she's talking to someone else? And worse still, the was only one other person in the room. Which means, you'll end up as the only person without a drink. Oh yes. That happened to me this morning. And that person offering was my mom. Never imagined I could be that jobo (bak kata orang Negeri Sembilan - which means, sungguh memalukan, mano nak lotak muko den), with a family member, my mom, some more.. Aaarrgghhh. You see, I had a small row with mom, pertaining to my younger sister a few days earlier. After that she was cold with me. Okaylah, fine. Then, yesterday she asked my sister why was I not talking to her. Eh, I thought she was the one not talking to me. Okaylah.. fine. This morning, I tried to break the ice lah kan. And I ate breakfast at her house. I tried to make small talk too, but she was not very responsive lah kan. Then, as I was walking to sit down at the table, passing by her at the counter mixing the a drink, she asked: "Nak air tak, ibu bancuhkan" I said, "okaylah.. boleh gak". Then she just diam, and few seconds later she said: "(my brother's name), ibu nak bancuh air ni, awak nak tak? ibu buat sekali." my brother (si anak emas dia tu), said yes. i continued eating, thinking she was offering us both. then, when she was done, I saw only 2 cups. And both of them just drank and ignored me. I was the obly one without a drink. There was only the 3 of us in the kitchen ok.. Boleh tak? Now, who's not talking to who??!! Jobo muka seh ni ha! Sedih pun ada gak.. |
| Chech June 20, 2009 09:08 AM PDT My mom and I have similar personalities. Sensitive being one of them. So, we often had misunderstandings. And, I've faced a jobo situation before. I hope not to put my children in such situation :). The negativities we see in others reflect ourselves, I believe, and should be a lesson to us. Apa yang aku ceritakan pasal the row between my sister-in-law and I banyak buat aku fikir. God, had I been calmer, we wouldn't be in hostility now. Baguslah kau. Sabar. | ||
