Life's Learning Lessons (II)

Ever did anything that you felt ruined other people's experience of something? Well I did - Today.

It being the holidays, I thought it'll be nice just to gather outside of class to spend some time. We all went out, shopping! Yes, I can sense the quivering fear tingling down the spines of all you testosterone-filled individuals. It's a never-ending debate and I won't refute that some guys enjoy the activity.

I do feel bad for ruining other peoples' shopping experience. I didn't think that standing outside the shop, or not buying anything would mean that I disliked what I was doing. It didn't matter to me what we were doing, I was actually looking forward to just spending time together.

I was taking a shower when I recalled a conversation with my supervisor before I left the company (Sorry Weiliang, I didn't mean to think of you while bathing). It was a good conversation and something that we covered was that I should not be obliged to do anything that I did not like. The question I should probably ask is if I should have gone for the gathering even though I wasn't going to entirely enjoy shopping, but still want to spend time together.

I guess I know one thing for sure; I'm not someone to go shopping with.
