does this offend u? i sincerely hope from the bottom of my heart tt the ans is no. BUT if it did... im sorry..
well, got feedback tt i really shouldn't be using the word ["you know what" =D] as it's very sensitive, and it offends some people. first let me explain myself, i had used the word on certain people, purely with the intention of endearment[if there's such a word lol... derived from endearing...=D i should write longman!=D], it would have been "honey!" or "dear!" or "darling!" -erm, abit, erm, guniang- or "pukky wooky!" - erm.... ya...- or whatever that people normally used. but for want of something different and identifying, i chose the word=D. for example, if i said "eh xxxxx! in class, weilin would know i'm calling for her." in t1, "eh xxxxx!" would have gotten qingpei or cal [mainly qingpei haha =D, u bitch[=X] =D] to turn. it didn't come to my attention that there would naturally be some people who would take my words literally, and ignore the need to analyse one's tone and facial expression in order to determine my intentions and true underlying meaning [that is to be endearing =D].
somone has feedback this to me sometime before today, but i had ignored it [ my apologies] as i felt that, nah... how can anyone take me literally? nono.. i took for granted that people would take the time to analyse all aspects of my words and actions before coming to a conclusion...BUT, as i received this feedback for a second time, i trust that i can no longer go on believing that no one would take me literally... SO! i have to make a PUBLIC APOLOGY to anyone whom i've offended:
i sincerely apologise for the lack of discretion in my choice of words. i did not think that it would affect anyone negatively. no harm was intended, and i hope that none was taken. SORRY! :(
with that, i promise [**gasps** intense word.. n NO hc =D lol... not getting breathless here... lol..] that i will try to refrain from using that which is sensitive. but of course, my mother is mrs. koh, and not maggi, so please do not expect INSTANT results. [get it? =D maggi= INSTANT mee?? laugh with me man!!=D].

p/s: upon re reading this post, i felt that some might get the idea that i'm being sarcastic. i'm not! really! =D i mean what i said just now... please try not to misunderstand my intentions... :( it would be ironic, [HAH! i noe my literature! XD] would it not? for me to write a post trying to clear up the misunderstandings others might have in my intentions when using the word, and then create even more misunderstandings.. =D lol... btw... working along the lines of IRONY again.. i chose to use "the word" in replacement of bxxxh as i felt that it would also be ironic for me to use so much of the word in the post in which i promise [**gasps**] not to use the word. so ya, tt's not sarcasm=).
erm ya.. lol...=D cya all!!
p/s no. 2: "one more thing!" -- jackie's uncle [haha!=D]
