Frustration

I got sms yesterday – esuk ada rumah tak? nak jalan raya. I am so excited to have visitors coming over to my house. So today I went out to buy some groceries. As promised they will come today's evening. On n on I will checked on them n asked their whereabouts.

At 6.30pm I called again n confirm whether they r coming. They said yes n will arrive around 8.30pm. So I started cooking mee goreng at 7.45pm. Since they were not coming yet, I sms them again at 9.45pm asking their whereabouts. They said they will be a bit late.

Then at 10.30pm they called telling me that they couldn’t make it as it was already late n said sorry. JUST LIKE THAT? What about the 2 packets of noodles that I’ve cooked? Who’s gonna eat all that? Oh my God.. I immediately sank myself on the couch. At that particular moment I just need my hubby to be with me.

I just don’t understand why sometimes people can be so inconsiderate. They knew very well that I’ve prepared food for them n they are also aware that I don’t have many people at home to finish all those foods. If they can’t come, why don’t they tell me earlier? Why do they have to make me waiting n at the end they cancel it?

Once it happened before that my friend wanted to come over to my house n asked me to cook lunch for her family. Again, I the ‘miss excited’ who loves to receive n cook for my guest eagerly went to the wet market to buy food stuff. I cooked lots kind of their favourite foods.

At the last minute she sms me said sorry that they couldn’t make it. The rest u could imagine. I was so frustrated n right away cried. I was not crying just because they didn’t turn up but because all the effort, tiredness n most of all the foods that were laid on the table. Who’s gonna eat all that? Though I heat n pre heat those for a week, still I can never finish it all.

I’ve been trained from small by my father to be punctual n always on time for any appointments. And when I married my hubby, he is just the same like my father. They hate those who come late. I learned from these two men to always be on time n keep my promise for any appointments I made.

If I know that I can’t make it, I will tell the person earlier. I hate waiting n I know others don’t as well. I don’t want to trouble people coz I don’t want people to do the same to me as well. If I make promise, I will do my best to honour it. As I know it really hurt n frustrated when people didn’t keep their promise.
