The Art of Saying I'm Sorry...

As a typical Asian, or Singaporean, being humble and apologetic is a norm...
But over the years.. I'd learnt not to be too "sorry" for things you did... especially when it comes to work... People are fast to place blames and once you blurb out the "s" word, you are caught in catch22...

I once had an experience that taught me the Art of saying sorry...

It was a lousy evening, and it had been awhile since I'd contacted any of my old pals from study or work... So I text a mass sms to send my regards to all for them... (just being nice, like I'm always)... It was a massive sent that couldn't even remember the parties involved...

Then this gal fren of mine, whom I don't even know how she looked, kept text-ing me asking me things like how I am... what am I doing now... Am I sleeping or sleeping soon... etc...
All turn weird for me, and as always I didn't reply to entertain such lame sms-es... then she called...
I was thinking to myself... Oh my god... going get freak by her for not replying...
To my surprise, she called to scold me for making his bf and her fight by sms-ing her... and demanded me to "say sorry" to her bf...
Being lost, shock and disorientated, I did what I was told...

Putting down the phone, I'd realised how dumb I was...
The number was given by her personally, NOT to sms or call her???
I'm sorry that she had a screwed up relationship... BUT I'm nowhere near sorry for sending that nice gesture sms...
Madness, so I del her number the very next moment...

The lesson I'd learnt here is not to be so ready to say sorry...
In fact, over the years, I'd developed an Art of Saying Sorry...
(Very effective at work place)

Never say "Sorry" when you don't mean it or you can't do anything about it...
(Go sit on it... you'll get it.)
