Eccentric Ka Jie

Eccentric is a better word for a Ka Jie who thoughtlessly put her siblings in a spot.  Actually, she is not thoughtless, she is just volunteering other people without discussion or seeking their permission.  So in order to get out of the situation, you will offend a third party as she will offer your service right in front of the third party thus obligating you on purpose.

I recall a lunch with a colleague many years back in Yishun.  We were gossiping about another female colleague.  She caused a lot of issues in the office.  He finally said "you know, when woman don't get married by 35 years old, she become perculiar."  I remember laughing and told him he got it reverse!!  It is because the woman is perculiar which is why she is not married by 35 years old.

In England, old bachelors are usually called eccentric, rarely spinsters.  Well, Ka Jie is a piece of work:)
