I almost forgot to blog about this. It happened last Saturday. I was as usual early for my law lecture and thus decided to sit at the benches outside LT. it was 8.30 am and class starts at 9.30. I had an hour to kill and was reading the papers when a coursemate came, relieved to find me just as early. We were discussing on an assignment, speaking softly as it was in the morning and I guess she was as sleepy as I am awake. I am not known for speaking loudly too. We were halfway through our conversation when someone slammed on the benches and shouted (apparently to us since we were the only ones present) in a badly toned English,"Ex-q-sme, Ni mer shuo hua neng bu neng xiao sheng dian-errrr?" Our first reaction was to say,"oh, sorry." After which my friend started to whisper,"As if we were talking loudly and go to the library if you want pin dropped silence". This was followed by a series of eye ball rolling and face twitching. If I weren't pissed, I would have laughed at the look. Out of the corner of the eye, I saw that unreasonable girl glaring I just looked down.

After the lecture, I told my friends who were as late as I was early what happened. Then they all spoke of ways of how they would react if they were in my shoes. These include flashing middle finger and shouting names, speaking more loudly than before, glared at her hard or telling her to return to China if she is unhappy... I told then that maybe she was frustrated because she couldn't understand the English in the textbook and a series of grunts, rebutts and protest followed. My friends, on one hand I feel so protected and on the other, I have to keep them out of trouble. Tsk Tsk...
