Random Ramblings 3

I started wearing sunnies during my outdoor workout sessions recently to avoid the sun and to avoid being seen by people I do not want to meet (happened a lot lately). The funny thing (which later I thought was annoying) is the fact that I get more stares when wearing them than the time I do not have them on.

Wearing sunnies during the outdoor workout session is not something bizarre, as many of the runners/joggers have them on. So I didn’t think people stared at me because they thought wearing sunnies were trying too hard. You see, when they stare, they stare me in the eyes. They think that just because they cannot see my eyes, I too cannot see them. Well boohoo..I can. And this keeps happening time and time again. What is the urge, people? To try and look into the eyes of people wearing sunnies? What is the urge? Don’t you know that we can see you? Oh yeah WE CAN! I can’t help but think it is just pure *cough* stupidity.

A colleague of mine who is 22 has been dating a 27 year old girl from another department. Yes we were shocked when they hooked up, and yes, we are shocked that they are still going strong. Maybe it is meant to be. Now, it hasn’t bothered me before, the fact that they are dating, until recently. The boy (who reports to my boss) SMSed my boss one Monday morning. The SMS read ‘I am unable to come to work as my girlfriend’s sister is sick. She may have to be admitted in a hospital in Muar and my girlfriend and I are on the way there to send her to the hospital’. Yup. He took emergency leave because the girlfriend’s sister MIGHT be sick at another part of the country. For your information, the sister is living with her parents and I am sure, more than sure that she can be well taken care of by the family, not a family member’s boyfriend. I am not annoyed over the fact that the 22 year old is lying to avoid work, because he is not. I’m annoyed that it is the truth. He did go to Muar, to show how much of a hero he is-to someone not even related to him yet. I can imagine the girl’s plea, ‘If you love me, you better get my sister to the hospital’. Sigh.

People have been asking when I’m going to get married, more often than before. ‘Can you get married before I turn 42?’, asked my 41 year old sis. Next year? Yeah right. ‘My friends at the office have been asking about you’, she continued. People from her office? Who’s gonna ask her the question next? Her boss? Random people in the public? Sigh.
