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!
