I Dun Understand


Gals, please answer the following qn.

You have already decided to wear this dress to your good friend’s wedding dinner. And you told your friend about this dress that you picked and choose specially for this occasion. Knowing this, your friend purposely goes and wears the same dress with you on the day. Will you be angry?

My ans: Yes, super angry!!!! Friends do until like tat? Wad is the word u called?! BACKSTAB!!!!

Guys, please answer the following qn.

You are doing an advertisement project. You come out with some slogan that you think will be well responded and go n advertise it. You told your friends about it. Then you friend knowing it, go n copy the same slogan WORD BY WORD and advertise around. Will you be angry?

My ans: Yes, super angry!!! Tis is copying!!! Another method of backstabbing!!! Do you need to claim credits of other pple’s work for your own!?!?

Ok, actually, all the qns asked is to lead to the following event that triggers me to write this blog today. Been wanting to rant about it but no time.

This real situation happens in my social circle. The names of the characters had been changed and replaced in order to protect their identities.

Mr J is selling some homemade pineapple tarts. One fine evening at 7plus pm, he smsed his grp of friends, “Hi, I’ve stated selling & taking in orders for HOMEMADE pineapple tarts for tis coming CNY! Its delicious & an ideal gift for friends/relatives or even colleagues! Great deals of $14/30pcs or $20/50pcs. FREE delivery for 10botls n abv. ORDER NOW to prevent any disappointment! :) Mr J

Ms F, also selling homemade pineapple tarts, upon receiving this sms, at 12am which is 4hrs plus later, send this to the same group of friends, “Hi, I’ve stated selling & taking in orders for HOMEMADE pineapple tarts for tis coming CNY! Its delicious & an ideal gift for friends/relatives or evencolleagues! Great deals of $13/30pcs or $20/50pcs. FREE delivery. ORDER NOW to prevent any disappointment! ::-D Ms F

In case you cannot see, I’ve highlighted the difference.

Ms F tot tat by not sending this sms to Mr J, he will nv ever realize that. But when you do certain things so openly, you must expect the unexpected. And true enough, some1 (cannot say to protect the person’s identity) upon seeing both sms, felt weird n confused. This person, out of confusion, showed the sms to Mr J, asking if they got the same supplier, tats y the sms template oso same. Simple as tat, no harm meant. Tat was how Mr J found out about it.

Then when Ms F knows that her sms was discovered, she was kinda angry “Dunno who backstab la!”

She used the word “Backstab”. Haiz. Why in the first place she dun wan Mr J to noe? Is it because she is guilty of pirating his sms? If she noes she is guilty, then it is that she done something wrong. If she noes it is wrong, then why she still did it?

We are all upright people. If you think there is nothing wrong, why you scare pple discover? And when you think pple “backstab” you by showing Mr J your similar sms, then you think you are not “backstabbing” Mr J by stealing the sms and advertise as your own?

Ok, dun say about the stealing part. In this case, both are running their own business that is selling the same product rite? Then WHERE are the ethics?!!? They are both competitors already. Mr J dunno, so he sent her the sms. But since Ms F knows, why she still send, and lower the price?!!?! Twin and me were trying to convince ourselves tat maybe Ms F last year oso sell at this price. But hor.. after some enlightenment and logic, WHERE GOT PPLE SELL $13 (odd number) FOR CNY GOODS?! So is it a purposely jugged down price to increase competition? Need to do until like tat?!?!

I was quite boliao and go and “question” Ms F in msn. I asked something like, “y u all selling the same thing n send same sms? I beri confused leh!”

Ms F replied beri straight forward tat “Confuse meh!? Nobody says so leh.” As if she did nothing wrong. Haiz. And she got the cheek to say she got edit the sms abit. Ya… the name n price la.. haiz.. wads the use!?

Twin said maybe Ms F didn’t think so much when she sent the same sms. However, being a Uni grad and old enuff with well developed brains, and after 4hours plus after receiving the sms, dun tell me Ms F dun have the capacity n time to think!

Want to copy also can, doesn’t matter, but do you mind seeking a little permission from the originator first?! At least show some respect to originality. Respect others, so others will respect you. Heard tat?

Even if you dun wan to ask, shy, fine, then at least DUN GO N SEND TO THE SAME GROUP OF FRIENDS LA!!!! You are asking for trouble!!! And you are obviously trying to snatch customer, from a friend tat you once were beri close with.

When I sort of nagged at her in MSN, Ms F sounded kinda pissed off. Cuz she said I actually sided Mr J. well…. Its subjective u all decide la!

Then thanks to twin for asking me the dress qn (see 1st qn on top), I modify abit till it seems like the qn above. then asked Ms F the qn. I tot Ms F would not be angry. But she replied “Ya, sure la, as since she know ma”

So wad it means? Means she can copy pple’s idea, but others cannot copy hers. Is tat selfish!? I tot if you dun mind copying others, then u shdn’t mind others copying u!!!

In every case, I wun do to others wad I dun wan others do to me. Imagine yourselves if your frd purposely for no reason, wear the same dress to the same party. And wad will you do if ur frd steal ur advertisement!? So, think before you act! For a little convenience, it already brings a lot of unhappiness. Since you are perfectly fine, why cannot just spend a little bit more efforts to create and send ur own sms!? U r earning money from it ok! It wun hurt u much to spend a little effort!!!

Conclusion : It is just a small issue. In fact, it can be resolved easily or can be avoided at all. However, when wad done cannot be undone and hurt has been caused, such small issue can also be used to see the personality.

Bloody Idiot!!!!


Some people are just really getting on my nerves.. they are simply too thick skinned… do wrong things liao still can go cry to the whole world and tell story…

Referring to my blog, was pretty fed up with tat so called “Ms F”. To be courteous, I already called her “Ms F” in my blog, but in my heart, she is none other than… S*UT or B*T*H!!!

Why I so fed up!?

1- she go tell my twin tat on the day she saw my blog, she got call me. But PLS LA!!! Even if ur brain spoil got no memory, oso can refer to ur hp contact list for my number rite??? YOU SAID I DIDN’T ANS UR CALL, THE TRUTH IS MY PHONE NV RING AT ALL!!!!! And Who did u call??! Siao! Wan to make story, oso find better excuses ok!!!

2- And hor, even if u r the one calling, then let u b the one calling. No point go ard telling everyone, ask ur bf or whoever to call.. even if they wan to call n they call, I will gladly pick up n scold them upside down!!! Dun worry, I wun scold the elders, but for some1 whom I have been looking down on since beri long ago, u call, try calling… and see who is the real busy body…

3- Not tat I got something against people who are spoilt. Its ok for one to be spoilt. But when u r old enuff n educated enuff, dun go ard “crying” to people or publicize how pathetic u are!!! You can get all the support u wan, from ur frds or family, but without them, u r NOTHING!!! I SAID NOTHING!!!!

4- Even funnier is tat such pple, beri weird, open mouth close mouth oso use the word “SUE”…. Like pple will scare… the problem is… so wad if u noe 1 or 2 lawyers?! You think pple beri free to fight for u is it? Or u think ur story is too “PROUD” to announce to the whole world? Wan to sue and let the whole world knows rite!?! GO AHEAD LA!!! Wads holding u back!? No guts? No money? Or is it u oso think its too boliao?! Lucky u oni noe 1 or 2 lawyers… if u noe 1 or 2 judge, will u say u r the law already!? BRAG IS ALL U NOE!!!!

5- You think ur law beri good rite? So when I mention “Ms F”, does it imply specifically to you!? If “Ms F” stands for ur name, then wad about other names tat starts with F? dun use brain oso noe!!! Unless u wan to come n and SHOUT TO THE WORLD TAT U R TAT PERSON WHO COPIED WITHOUT SHAME!!!!

6- What I can say is tat, the thing tat is mentioned in my blog, is 100% true. No point asking people to tell me to investigate the whole story before blogging. I m not a storyteller! I see things like wad others with 2 eyes see. I got no x-ray eyes. I dunno wad is behind ur so called story!!! Oh, you sold pineapple tarts last yr!? so wad!? This yr other people cannot sell is it!? Then how?! Whenever we eat fried chicken at mac, we must remind KFC to sue them is it!? Just becuz they sell fried chicken first, other pple cannot sell?! Oh btw, in case u dunno due to ur negligence or ignorance, mac didn’t come out with a slogan like “finger linkin good”!!! They sell chicken also, but they NV COPY OTHERS advertisement!!!


7- You can scold me being a busybody to blog about some1 who copied some1 else. But I wan to emphasize on something.

a. If I comment on the sms that you send me = busybody, then I think the whole world read newspaper also cannot comment on how evil TT Durai is! Cuz if so, then busybody ma!
b. I may tok to much in my blog, but its my blog!!! Dun be crazy!!!
c. Whatever I mentioned is nothing but the truth!!! I m just reporting facts! If that’s wrong, go n sue all the reporters if u want!!!

This type of people, living in her own world, really cannot accept complains. If my blog is about praising or complimenting her, she will CONFIRM comments with flowery words… if is complain.. haha.. its like bombing her world.. then she go ard crying… cannot accept tat pple are unhappy with her… such losers, still dare to come out n do business… wad a joke!

I also dun like pple to comment too bad on me, but I can accept the fact if I did wrong. AND, I WUN GO N COPY PPLE’s SMS FOR ADVERTISEMENT ON SAME PRODUCT. If I did, I will b too ashamed to even whine n complain around!!!

GROW UP!!!
