Some disappointments

Early this week I was asking my colleague if I can put her name in my out of office notifications for assistance but she said no.

I was taken aback......felt a bit hurt and disappointed with her answer.

I asked the 'small one' and she gave me the same answer.....felt disappointed again.

Come to think of it, I had always acceded to their requests every now and then...and here they were telling me 'no' straight in my face.....both of them really 'singing in the same tune'.

???

Well, its ok....what goes round will come round (I heard someone said this phrase previously).

I think it will.

Actually I do not need to ask them,  I could be just like my bosses (they don't ask and just go ahead with it)- always put my name in their email notifications where I really may not be of much help ! I just accept it with 'no regrets'.

This evening while having dinner with my mum and younger bro; my mum scooped some soup for my bro and asked me to help myself.

Felt a bit awkward or hurt (told myself not to be sensitive or angry - this is not the first time).

There was some mixed feelings when this thing happened but I try not to think so much.
Anyway my mum is already getting on with age and yet she still behaves like this.

When he's hungry she will cook instant noodles for him but when I was hungry I had to cook it myself.

My bro and me are already adults and here my mum is still showing her favouritism.

Good that I am independent ...no need to depend everything on my mum.

Yes, good !
