All of them gave me the same advice - just go and apologise to her. Say you are sorry. But i refused. Simply because i am so sure that i did not do anything wrong. So why should i say that i am sorry? It would set a really bad precedent! At that point, i was scolded and told not to think like a lawyer!!!
Yes, it is sometimes hard for one to say sorry. Why is that so? Well, it would mean that the person admits guilt. It would involve the swallowing of the pride.
Then, there are those who just cannot accept the fact that they could ever do wrong! It is never their fault - so therefore, there is never a need to say sorry.
Yes, some of you must be jumping up now and saying that i am exactly like that kind of a person! Well, i am not. Or so i think!!! After all, i have said sorry before many times.
So what made this time so different? Well, it really isn't, actually. Being right is important - but sometimes, it is better to - as the cantonese say - "eat dead cat" than to be right all the time.
So tt's wat i did. If it was important enuf, i'll eat that stupid dead cat. If the relationship is important enuf, i'll do anything to ensure it is saved and protected.
Now, wat will happen if i ate the dead cat and still dun get the results?
Kinda sad, rite? End up with no more pride, nothing... except the horrible after-taste of the dead cat. Sigh...

sorry to butt in on a personal matter but jz to add the point that when it comes to us girls, sometimes even when we know we're wrong and should be the one apologising, die-die we won't...because we believe it is the man's role to 'pujuk' the woman. but yeah, it's all a matter of pride at the end of the day on both the party who's "right" and the party who's "wrong".
hope the dead cat worked!
thanks for yr honest views.
no, the dead cat did not work. brilliant person like me did not consider the fact that she still reads this blog - and hence could conclude that my apologies are not sincere. *smacks self on the forehead*
