I finished Genetics lab early (Alhamdulillah!) today.. But it was in a computer lab instead of the usual lab so i got a chance to have a different lab partner. Apparently she was a Muslim girl as well, dressed in a similar way like me, pretty and her accent reminds me of Lebanese peeps in Aussie but she's actually an Indonesian. I guess she has lived here for quite a while to assimilate her way of speaking English.
Anyway, we were alright with the lab work, except when she annoyed me by interrupting while i was reading the lab instruction or when i was conversing with lab mates/tutor every now and then. The usual thing if you have just known someone, you're gonna be all polite and whatnot right? So even though I was annoyed as hell, I kept my politeness with me all the time, always. Having said that, I am polite to everyone and anyone regardless whether I have known for that person for years (uh, with a very few exceptions) or just 5 minutes.
Now, this girl, is not the usual person I know of in terms of being polite at least when you 1st meet someone new. It seemed that she wasn't inclined to befriend me because apparently the only things that she was asking or telling me during lab was regarding work. Even when we were walking out of the lab, she quickly rushed to wherever she was going..and being the friendly person I am, tried to make conversation with her and asking where she lives, etc. while keeping up with her pace.
But yeah, as the title says, she was being very rude. I asked her whether she was a third-year student because I didn't see her during my 1st year or even last session (I'm in the 2nd session of second-year by the way). Well she tried to explain but I didn't understand because it was very vague. I should have realized that she didn't want to talk about it but I asked again. She put on an annoyed face and explained again, finishing off with 'What's so hard for you to understand that? Doesn't it make sense?' and rolled her eyes.
Ouch! I haven't been hit like that for a long time.
And she rolled her eyes at me! Oh, girl, I just knew you and you could treat me like this?
Sigh. I guess people are different, and well I just have to accept what's there, yknow? And was it in the Hadis 40 that Nabi SAW says that Muslims should berbaik sangka? Well I guess I should. I guess she was sensitive with being a 'mature' student and didn't want to discuss her past. I guess she wanted to rush out because it looked like it was going to rain (Well, it is raining now).. I guess deep inside she is still a good human being (haha, as if she's being so evil, hahaha).
So there, the so-called highlight of my day. Woohoo.
Oh by the way, my dad finally replied my message. I also called my mom and everyone is doing fine. Phew, Alhamdulillah. And to top it off, my fever has cleared off.. *cough cough* well.. yknow what hasn't, yet.
Love ya!
