Romance

Simple romance is dead. remember those romance novels where we always read how the leading man will buy flowers or chocolates for the lady after their 1st date. The message on the note will say something like "Thanks for a lovely evening, sign [Guy's initial]".

It would be so wonderful if someone is to do this for me, is so charming and gentlemanly. The point being it's such a frivolous thing to do that makes it so chivalrous. I mean, bisou-bisou are nice too, but gals just want tangible gestures sometime.

Whole nite, telling me how funny i was, how wonderful a time he had. It would have been a more wonderful nite should he follow up with such a gesture the next day. But if i am to ask now, it would spoil the whole thing. And i do have a hard time resisting charm.

Been reading too many novels...

Someone Last Friday

If He Asks You Out Again, Say No

This guy's a total dud - with bad manners to boot! And unless you were totally distracted by his pretty eyes or fat wallet, you know you've got to forget him fast Before you move on: Figure out what happened. Sure, you aren't responsible for your date's poor behavior - but you need to figure out how to avoid guys like this in the future. Ask yourself what warning signs you picked up from this guy. Also, devise a plan on how to make a quick getaway from bad dates. They just aren't worth your time

Against all principles

I asked him out. he was moving his stuff this morning. i woke up at 6am to come in at 7.30am, well 8am more like. and he came in shortly after. We both stood up and saw each other. more likely, i stared over at him, wondering if he saw me and he waved back. so i called him..

Talked about his move, his new team, his old team. officially he said 7am, he already belonged to the other team. so he's in early to pack. i said hehe, also gd chance to him to take away all the confidential stuff. he said there was none, cos no privacy in our office. thought i slipped in casually abt what he was doing this weekend and thought if he would like to catch a movie.

Boy, did i crash and burn after that. After taking days to gather my courage, with pep talks from frens and my own mum, he couldnt make it.

He did give me the reasons though, a rundown of what he'll be doing for the weekend. Places he's going, lunch at Rang Mahal, cocktail dinner, MOS, basically he says will take him sunday to recover from the merrymaking and drinking..

Sigh... still i feel down.. cos it took me so much to ask him out, and he didnt suggest any alternative. Should i take it as a hint and just let go? Why cant i be contented with what i have, and still want to push? What if i push the wrong thing away? Can i pay the price?

Last week, moo was with me 2hrs. I told him his perf is under par, less than 2% of his entire week's time. I wasnt upset with him, in fact, if i pressure him to give me more time which he doesnt have, it'll be hard on him too.. and I dont want to make him feel guilty for something that is not within this control.

It also makes me wonder why i'm so independent and not particular on his time spent with me. Like my own space too much? Doesnt need his company as much? Comfort level? Stable? Bored? Or worse, no much more feelings? I doubt the latter is the truth. I still feel very much something for him, just wonder why i'm so okay not seeing my bf the whole week. and he doesnt even call me much...

Anyway, dont know if it's good or bad. this morning was the last time i'll see him across the office. so whilst i recuperate my ego and dignity, he wont be there to remind me.. unless i see him on the way to the loo...

1, little 1, sweeping Indian

AM I SO OLD? Left the house this AM, and met this young indian man who sweeps around the estate. he's very polite and all, always greeting "Good Morning" when he sees people. But when he saw me at the lift, guess what, he called me "Auntie." OMG! My smile just froze there, and my heart dropped. So old meh, I looked? *Crushed.

Ruined my whole day, plus my top today is very wrinkled one. Trying to blowdry it in the washroom hoping it works like an iron, to straighten out the creases. but it doesnt lor.

I wonder as I stretched my hand across in front of D to take something, did he notice my arm is quite hairy? Gee, hope so. Or can he be optimistic enough to think i'll keep him warm if we are hugging each other? But usually his type is more hairy, so hmm, we keep each other warm? maybe rub off the zing. cos hair-to-hair, surely will have static...

Hee! Thinking very rojak now...

Oops, I did (or didn't) do it Again!

Slap me again!!! He was in the pantry this AM when i walked in. got to talking, got to joke. said he wished he could bring his team to invade the new team, how the new team likes to party a lot, every nite, which i thought he would like. i got to twiddle my head talking to him like an Indian, and he did the same. haha!

My hand shook (hope he didnt notice), but my voice was calm and normal. glad no milk was split. however..... argh! there was a lull between our conversation before he took his leave. alamak! he looked at me, i looked at him. no word came forth..

Guess even if there is the slightest chance he is interested in me, he wouldnt ask me out. 1) no time 2) he's enjoying his singlehood 3) cos once bitten, twice shy. he told someone else before, he wont want to find a gf from the office again. :(

Sigh.... Why?? Why???? (*Distant thunder sounds)

The Different Types of Smiles

Read in an issue of Cleo on the different types of smile.

Shy smile = Nicole Kidman
Scary smile = Avril Lavigne
Warm (open) smile = Cameron Diaz
Close smile = Winona Ryder

Mine should be Warm smile. When i smiled, is hard to not smile fully and brightly... guess that's why ard my eyes have all that what i like to term as 'laugh-lines' or 'character-lines'.. Not as sad as crow-feet or wrinkles...

And not everyone can do a good shy smile. that, as my trainer from the Charisma Voice Training course, said it's the most charming and attractive smile.

this opinion was seconded by an article in another issue of Cleo. People are attracted to people with slow smiles, smiles that started out small, shy and slow to a gradual full beam. suppose to make the person appear more intelligent too, and mysterious. only know a handful of people who can do this well, one of them is D. Sigh, those smiles he flashes whenever he walks past.really works for me.. oh, i'm gone, all aflutter!!

So imagine now i'm practising till i have it..
