Monday, June 05, 2006 || The VERY sensitive "fat" issue in a girl's life
- Today was damn funny. :D
Ok, let me summon all my story-telling skills ....
Today, Jaclyn, Liz (meee!) and Cally went out to yum cha, for old time's sake.
Was nice to see her today. :) We hardly ever meet up anymore, since we're all so busy nowadays!
Then, a guy friend or ours coincidentally came into the cafe.
So obviously, he joined us for a bit to chat.
The dude and a ghost.
I was contemplating whether or not I ought to consume the oh-so-delicious nasi lemak sold at the cafe, since it IS 'fat rice' and I'm not exactly not fat. :P
"Weiiiii .... am I fat ah??", I asked the Guy Friend.
Guy friend grins at me and goes. "No leh, you're just nice lor I think. SHE is fatter loh ....", while POINTING AT JACLYN.
Jaclyn raised her eyebrows at Guy Friend. "Oh ... so you're very thin hor?"
I tactfully jumped in and tried to divert the topic, but without much success. "Heehee ... it's okay lah. Me and her are about the same size wat. :D So the nasi le--"
Guy Friend: *butts in* "No loh, you're not lor ... Anyway I never said I was thin wat. I'm big-sized. And she's fat. BWAHAHAHA!"
Me: "... Uh oh ....."
Jaclyn's eyes blazed over with fury and I was about to pretend to go to the loo to avoid the drama .... but Guy Friend then spotted one of his friends and gleefully went to greet him, oblivious to Jaclyn's anger.
Jaclyn was PISSED, man. And I'm not even exaggerating. She looked like she was about to tear his pants into half. HAHA!
Jaclyn: "I don't get it man .... Have I ever called HIM fat before??"
I wisely shook my head. "No ar ... I don't think so."
Jaclyn raises her fist into the air. "I'm fucking offended okay. To be called fat by someone who is obviously fatter than me is a big fucking insult! What is he trying to get into?! Damn offensive okay ...."
Playing the role of a perfect best friend, I smiled encouragingly and agreed with her.
Jaclyn: "THE WORST insult on earth is having someone who's not better looking than you comment on your looks. First time a guy insulted me TO MY FACE wei. Wtf!"
Me: "Oh yes ..... Now you know how pissed I was when XXX called me flirty. Oh mama mia, I don't even wanna talk about it ..."
Jaclyn: "I don't get it lor ... Why these people wanna downright offend you this way? Very fun to piss someone off is it? Why do they want an extra enemy over a friend?!"
Me: "Er .... I don't think he meant it lah. Hahahaha. I think he was only joking la ... errr .... it was uncalled for, but you know. I guess he didn't mean it."
Jaclyn: "I swear, if I get the opportunity, I'm gonna kick his balls man ........"
Me: ".............. o_O"
Moral of the story: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Or it's gonna hurt like hell anyway. :P
But anyway, I still don't understand people who purposely put other people down physically. (or mentally!) =( I DO think it's pretty offensive. Especially if it comes from someone you least expect the most.
*grunts*
But still ... Damn funny right! Now you people know, don't EVER call a girl fat ah! :P
