there's miscommunication between my roomie and i. im lucky to say that it's not major miscommunication which will lead to quarrels.
holidays is near(for me, at least one or two days more?) so we need to like shift things out of our room. roomie has ended her exams like last week? and poor me, im still struggling to finish one more paper! and i cant study with sucha messy environment! it just makes me wanna clean it, clean and dust-free! so i called her,
me: hey, when are you coming back to pack your belongings?
her: oh, maybe next monday?
me:okay.
-pause-
me: anyways, do you have any boxes?
her: yeah, i do. in the room.
-had a long pause again-
me: where got ?
oh! my dear roomie, im referring to
BOXES. not
BOXERS!
her: ohhh. yarh, i was thinking how come you need boxers for?

another miscommunication happened last semester- i guess.
i was hungry and i had like instant miso soup. I like it with rice and it happened that no one was out except her. so i gave her a call.
me: where are you? can you do me a favour?
her: JP.
me: can you help me get a packet of rice?
her: okay, can. but where?
me: any of the stalls lor.
after 45 mins, she came back with bags of stuffs. and she told me it was very heavy.i took a look, no wonder lahhh .... she bought a packet of UNCOOKED RICE GRAINS!
-------------------------------------------------------
i think cos we have different cultures? so she doesnt understand what i was referring to?
