A Selfish Sash Owner

Confess it. We hate selfish people: adj. "thinking only about your own needs or wishes and not about other people's". or am I the only one? ^^

However, at a certain degree, selfish is a must. Well, atleast in my own personal opinion that is.

****The scene; a story told by a very dear person to me (let just call her V).

After enduring her hard life (every students did ^^, I know) in university, V graduated, along with a Dean List's result (award for excellent academic result) and another special award by the university in her other hand (cannot mention, nanti ketahuan ^^). Of course during the convocation, Dean Listers wore a special sash along with their graduation robe which automatically made them looked out stand from the rest of the fellow graduates.

Then later during photo-taking session outside the hall, a course friend of V asked her if she could borrow the sash so she can take her own photo wearing the sash (like she deserved it also *duh*). Hearing this I was SHOCKED. So I asked V what was her response.

-Now, the "V" I knew is/was one with soft heart, which means NO is a rare line. She will gladly sacrifice hours of her own sleeping time, burning the late oil almost everyday just to help another friend finishing a personal project. She even don't mind doing extra tasks on a group project when her friends mentioned that they're busy doing "something else". Yup, a normal V will say "OK". -

I was ready to burst my anger out. But she chuckled a little a said, "Of course I said NO I CAN'T. Hey, I worked hard for that sash". V then told me that her friend said V was being selfish. I laugh... yup, I guess V did knew when she should draw the line.

Seriously, I wouldn't dare to ask such favour. Talk about PRIDE (^^!). As for V, I really glad she thought about herself on that moment. Selfish or not, she have all the rights. Like she said, she worked hard to deserve that sash. If I were V, I might told my friend to get her own! LOL... alas, I didn't had the chance to say that. Even I didn't deserved the sash. hmm.. should I consider pursuing to further my studies and get a sash myself? LOL... nah.. I'm a happy housewife for the time being. I'll worked on my "own sash" later ^^.

Happy Days ^^
