The 3 Silly Fools Part 1

I know it's late. I should be in bed by now BUT I must blog.

A series of events happened these 2 days and I realised how powerful words are and different people can interprete the (true) meaning of words in a message when they are in different emotional stages. Well, the writer can be at fault too, without further explaining the meaning of what's just written or just simply a poor command of the English language plus the wrong use of words in the composition.

To cut the long story short, something I written and something fifi written had caused some disappointment and upset of our dear shasha. We were truly remorseful when we learnt about the incident and we frantically msn-ed each other with feifei late yesterday night thru morning (12 ++ am lah) to salvage the friendship. The plan was flowers as 1st strategy of apology, then followed by chocolates after work and sumptuous dinner to mend the bridge. First, it was sunflowers as it symbolises cheery as we were eager to put a smile back on shasha. While we screened thru the florist's website, feifei wanted to give a bouquet of roche chocolate, 2 in 1 mah......continued scrolling the page, the last one was a table arrangement that had 3 daffodils 'standing' in a bowl bedded with 6 more daffodils and some purple flower buds. Each stalk of the standing daffodils is like representing each of us and the whole flower is our way of apology to shasha. So, after much discussion, we settle for this. And we named ourselves the 3 silly fools. BECAUSE of our foolishness blarring unclear and bad eh-ge-lish blogging and got so carried away that we had hurt our friend unintentionally.

Ok, feifei insisted she is neutral. 'We' for fifi and me only.

We squezed our brain for the most appropriate use of words to write the apology message that supposed to go with the flowers. And the message is -

3 silly fools had disappoint and upset you. We treasure your friendship and would like to apologise to you in a way of a sumptuous dinner tonight at 7pm Orchard Hotel Shopping Arcade.

With lots of Love,
the 3 silly fools.

The message is 'aga aga' like this. And it's set. Flower, chocolates, dinner to 'win' back our shasha's friendship.

okie......now......got immediate recall by my bed. It's almost 2am. I shall continued Part 2 tomorrow.

ciao !
