Bit of insight from anywhere

I watched Yours Always last night and saw this part of the show.

J: Joanne Peh
P: Pierre Png

Pierre Png's character brought Joanne Peh's character to a boutique to pick out a very sweet looking dress. This dress is supposed to be wore to his parents wedding anniversay party.

Joanne felt it wasnt her style, voiced it out but still agree to wear it to the party at Pierre's insistance. On the day itself, she decided to don a sundress instead. Pretty, but not formal enough.

P: I thought you are wearing the dress I bought for you?
J: But that dress is really not me. And I feel that as long as my clothes are clean and comfortable, it should be ok.
P: You should understand that different occassions deserve different dressing up. But never mind, as long as you prefer.

Was she wrong?

At the party, Joanne saw this group of woman talking very loudly, one of the woman was gesturing animatedly and her hand knocked into a waitress, causing wine to spill.

S: Shrew
W: Waitress

S: Are you blind or what? Why did you knock into me?
W: I...
S: Ask your manager here, I want to complain.
(Joanne steps forward, Pierre had went to get a drink for her.)
J: (to shrew) How can you blame her when you are the one who knocked into her?
S: If she saw me she should have avoided me. Clumsy and slow people are not suitable to be waitresses.
J: You are obviously in the wrong and you are still indignant?
P: (reappearing and to Joanne) Qiaoshan, stop it.
S: Shaoqi, you know her?
P: Yes aunt, she is my gf.
S: It is bad enough that she comes here in such clothes, how can she be imprudent?
J: We are not talking about my clothes here, we are talking about poor behaviour!
P: Enough!! Let's go.
(Pierre drags Joanne away.)

He later reprimanded her, saying she shouldnt have said that. She felt she wasnt wrong at all, and his aunt was obviously in the wrong. (You can see I feel the same way, or I wont name that woman as a shrew.)

He felt she shouldnt have been so impulsive, and she felt she was just being honest.


She is right, the woman is wrong; but he is right too, she shouldnt had been that impulsive.


Me too. I shouldnt had been that impulsive. Not talking about my resignation. I mean in life. I should had controlled my temper all along, and if that had been the case, I wouldnt have been view as the villian in any scenario.

I've mentioned before when I first joined that damn company. I flew into a rage because adeline sabotaged me and from then on I had been the official company bitch.

I got along well with everyone else, but everyone also know that I have a temper not to be aroused.

If I hadnt been so open with my temper, maybe I wouldnt had been termed the bad person. If I had always been quiet and meek, at the most the boss wont have a good impression of me, but at least he wont view me in a negative light.

I dont regret my conflict with her, I dont regret resigning, but I hate the fact that she was immediately seen as the person who is right simply because she knows how to act the correct way in front of the correct people.

The next job I am going to work, no matter where it is, I am not going to express my anger again. I will do my work and leave for the day. I wont stay to talk to the ppl, heck, I wont even go for lunch, is everyone satisfied?
