i think it is silly of me to be upset about something as silly as this, but that was my lemon tea. i have no idea how that whole thing happened. it was simply ridiculous. Y was hungry, and i was, too. so we decided to order afternoon tea, which came with a set, a pork chop bun and a drink.
so X, who helped us call the restaurant, asked what i wanted to drink, i said hot lemon tea. she said that was not wise, she could make one for me. i said no, i wanted a hot lemon tea. she said no. she said lemon honey then. i said no. i wanted a hot lemon tea. she told me to give K the lemon honey then. i asked if K wanted it. K was busy working. and i felt that it didn't worth the time to fuss around, so i said okay.
but it was not okay. now i think about it. it was my money, i had the right to decide if i wanted to waste it. it was not like i would mind sharing with my colleague. but it was ridiculous how X thought she could control what i should have for my afternoon tea. K didn't even say that she wanted a drink.
X said she would make me a hot lemon tea. i said no. i could make it myself. she said no, and asked me to let her do it. i said no. she asked why. i said i only drank lemon tea made by my mom, restaurants or myself.
why couldn't i have the hot lemon tea which i actually paid for?
tell me not to be silly, it was just a hot lemon tea. but you see, for some reasons it is in most cases the tea you get with your afternoon tea that perfects your afternoon tea. that was okay if it was my decision not to get it, or if the money for it didn't come from my own pocket.
1. i didn't enjoy fussing over an afternoon tea set.
2. i didn't enjoy being near anyone who thought they had the right or power to control me.
3. it was my hot lemon tea that i wanted for my afternoon tea!
i am sorry. this is stupid. i am sorry for myself because it almost felt like i was bullied.
and then i went to a meeting at a cafe after work, i did not want anything at first but there was a minimum charge, so i ended up ordering a hot lemon tea, which i didn't pay for, my friend did, because i did not have any money with me and he was nice.
at last i got what i wanted. but i am upset the whole time.
