Down Feeling

Earlier today I went to have a chat with my colleagues about jubah dress. We were talking about the size of a particular dress and its material which is stretchable. A friend said I should be ordering that dress but I said I don't have "cutting" because of my skinny figure. Another friend added, "ko tidak makan kali ni". Well, I would have been starved to death if I didn't eat. Being in a defensive-cum-offended mode, I bluntly said its because of my high metabolism. A pathetic reason to get me out of uneasy conversation. The other one even said I should get bright coloured tudung to make me stand out. She said if I wear those dull coloured tudungs it will make me look down, she even makes it clear to me using strokes of her hand across the face. I am taking all those critiques positively. But it's quite a bit too much to swallow at one time.
