Innumerabilis

Sighz, sometimes I am really so insensitive. While eating lunch at the cookhouse today (a rare occurence by itself), I met Hong Da. Noticing that his glasses was lop-sided, I just blurted out the first thought in my mind, “Why is your glasses slanted?”

Without saying a word, he just pointed to his ears, of which the right one is misformed. The glasses is lop-sided because his ears are not of the same height! I knew that he was Pes E because of his hearing problem, I knew that his right ear is not fully formed, then why did I just spill that out?

It must be terrible to have people asking the same old daft questions, for which the repartee should be a swift “isn’t it obvious?” look.

I really should talk less, or at the very least think more before I talk. Sometimes, an innocent remark may turn out to be an inadvertent slight.
