Its been 3 years now and they still confused us.. They fail to recognize who is who and this really annoys us... yes it's annoying people.. It's bothering us when you people keep calling us with the wrong name..
Carol and I were course mate when we were in uni and luckily we were posted to the same school in the year 2007.. And all of a sudden, the confusion began to take place. Most of our colleagues were having problem recognizing who is who and they kept calling me Caroline and vice versa. We accepted this confusion and we never failed to correct them when they seemed to be needed one and sometimes we just ignored their mistake. We were okay with it at first. Day after day, month after month and year after year... the confusion between us does not seem to find its own way out and until today they still called me Caroline and Caroline as Edwina. Alamak.... Paning kepala!!!!!
I don't have this problem with my special education's colleagues. They never confuse us. Its happened to most of the mainstream teachers, my principal and even all the clerks in my school.
We once asked them why they were sooo confused and they gave us this answer: "muke korang same la, tinggi pun lebih kurang same, badan pun same juga.. tak tau macam mane nak beza kan.. Macam adik beradik kembar je.." Trus mo pingsan kami dingar ni... Then again they make this generalization about Sabahan... "Muke orang Sabah semua same je la..." Pingsan lagi kali kedua.. nasib baik ndak koma ja... I forgive them for the lack of informations about my beautiful Land Below the Wind... But making such a generalization does not seems to be appropriate for me...
I'm not angry with them... Just hoping that at least they make an effort and try their best to remember our name and who the name really belongs to. This confusion really make me more confuse, confuse tahap dewa suda ni... Takkan 3 tahun lebih suda dorang masih confuse kan...
