Jann Arden

CJ said she was insensitive because she asked about her boyfriend and her when auntie was there. Well, auntie didn't know who was 'he' and to begin with, auntie probably couldn't catch on to what we were saying since we were not speaking in Mandarin.

But, CJ commented to me that she was insensitive.

Regarding that, my pov is that if I were the one asking the questions, CJ might have taken it more positively. She just enjoys teasing and complaining about girl.

Then, just awhile ago, she asked me to help her remember a phone number. Actually, it's no big deal remembering phone numbers. I don't usually have problem remembering numbers anyway.

Just that, tonight was not the night. Cos I was coughing quite a bit, and talking was already a small feat in itself. So, I wanted to know what number was it. Cos honestly, if it's something not urgent, I probably would have told her to do it tomorrow or write down somewhere. It's no big deal, right?

But she said it was a girl's. To be specific, it was the number of her x-gf. My first reaction? I asked if she was mad, asking me to remember the number of her x-gf for her. Ok, maybe I didn't just ask. I asked in a rather loud and accusing manner. *shrugs*

She quickly gave additional information. A friend asked her for the number and she was just trying to remember the number (using my memory space) and sms it to that friend. Reasonable. I really shouldn't get upset over something as trivial as this. It's kinda ridiculous, isn't it?

She said she could sense that I was upset. Logical or illogical, I guess I was.

I was upset because I thought it was rather insensitive. Insensitive that she so matter-of-factly asked my help to remember a xgf's number. It's kind of strange, at least to me. 'Cos if I were her, I would just jot down somewhere or do it later, after I finished talking on the phone with my partner. Unless the number is a matter of life and death, I don't see why it can't wait that bit more. I wonder if I would ever tell my partner to help me remember something about my xbf.

But, I was more upset because I raised my voice at her. Knowing that my girl is the unassuming and occasionally forgetful kind, I know she really didn't see it as something that will cause a negative reaction.

We've had little hiccups here and there. But, I'm proud to say that we've never let it go under the carpet thus far. There were times even I surprised myself.

So... no exception this time. Because, that little pod brain of hers will start thinking silly thoughts if it's left to continue feeling sorry for what she did. And, in the end, the patient in me (I'm still on cough medication) will have to call upon Doc Chua.
