Some people like to think they'd want to be alone - I'd sometimes too.
Dishevels occur when lives are met, and destinies intertwined.
True, humans are no blameless breed,
But good things can happen from the meet.
For how it sets,
Lies much on how we settle for what we get.

Let me be the oddball in my little corner
| You Are 60% Weird |
But you wig out even the biggest of circus freaks! |
I just can't stand people who sit beside me and start offering sweets and irrelevant small talks during church services. Fact is, I get totally uncomfy with strangers who try to get too near at the wrong time. Thank you, but I think I'd appreciate more concentration and time of reflections on my own... am I weird? am I odd?
Oh yes... maybe... let me be odd then. Let me be weird. But please spare me, for I'd prefer to be left in my little quaint corner sometimes....

A Feel-Good Thursday Evening
Since boss was out, and a vendor came in from overseas, I roped in a few people from the engineering team to join at dinner on Thurs evening. Contrary to what Hong always complain about her male engineering colleagues being insensitive to her as a lady in their midst, I am glad I have a team of really, really nice and chivalrous colleagues.
Going out with them, I just had to be seated in the car, not needing to worry about the stressful traffic conditions outside or the route to go, knowing that I will be in safe hands. I do not even have to worry about having no conversational topics, because they will have things to say to occupy the time. Over dinner, I was served attentively, even to the extent of having my prawns & crayfish peeled. (Although I do suspect it was because my colleague didn’t want his face splashed with more tomato gravy from the clumsy me…)
Nonetheless, I was made to feel a little pampered.
Well, if you’d think there’s any hidden agenda, you’d be terribly wrong cos they are all happily attached men. (ok… perhaps except for one whose status I am unsure of…but that is not the point...) In any case, that’s probably why they are happily attached in the first place!
I guess girls do need to feel like that, even if it was just a Cinderella experience. Look guys! See how your little acts of attentiveness can do so much! But hey, on the other side, it seemed that E* has raised the bar on my ideal!

The Self-deluded Prince Charming
An ex-colleague whom I have not heard from called up early in the morning last Saturday. It started with casual talks of the happenings. Then out of the blue, he kinda hemmed-and-hawed, and asked of my impression of him. The conversation goes, and there came a part where he asked if I was ever interested in him. I was glad that I had then managed to maintain my poise and told him no (cos’ I don’t really know him that well) good-naturedly. I even went on justifying my ideals even though he kinda branded me point-blank that I was being conservative.
The retarded neuron signals only passed the current moments after I hanged up, and I started to feel a tad insult. I mean, hello! what was that call suppose to mean? Did he really expect me to say “yes, yes, you were so attractive”? Excuse me, I think I have met more attractive guys, and even if he is that attractive, I do think I have more pride than that! Not that he has ever done anything to at least try melt my heart or something... duh... And yes. I think I deserve better…
The ultimate self-deluded prince charming manifested with mentions of him not thinking I would ever meet any man that would feed my ideals in the company unless the company starts employing some really eligible guys. He probably thought he was the most eligible man I would ever meet.
Hah! Interesting what people think of themselves… Thinking back now, and soaking in some sense of humor, I should think such people are intriguing in their own ways...
