Funny.....

Today, while exiting the main office, as usual the security guard stopped us to check the car.
So we were waiting for him to pop the boot, but he walked to the front and tried to pop the hood instead.
I looked at my colleague and he looked back.
We were both wondering what this fella was trying to do.
We signalled to him, but he didn't noticed. So my colleague honked him.
He looked up with a blur face. We pointed to the back of the car.
He looked more confused and start walking to my side of the car.
We wind down the window and told him the boot is at the back.
He still looked confused.
Then suddenly it strike him that the boot IS at the rear of the car, thus he walked to the back.
But then he was struggling, unable to open the boot.
He don't know where the handle is!
When he finally got it, he opened and shut the boot door immediately.
We drove off, laughing our heads all the way back to East office.
Funny!!!!

That Light-headed feeling

Today, my lightheaded-ness return.
I was gigglish, cracking jokes, and simply get carried away with myself.

Started the day with getting my hubby to call me at work.
This is to proclaim that I'm still married, and happily at it, too.
Don't know why, but I had to do this once in a while.
So my hubby called at the precise time that I instructed, and I started
the day at work flirting with my hubby on the phone for ~30mins.

After that, somehow I sensed that the mood at work was more relaxed.
The flirtatious young guy was a bit muted.
I guess he was eavesdropping on my conversation with my hubby.
I got a sense of relief that I finally feel not stupid anymore, after yesterday's blunder.

My dearest hubby, very attentive when we're far apart.
He listens to my complains, my neurotic thoughts, even my very, very
naggy moods don't turn him off.
I guess distance makes him very patient.

My light-headed ness started when suddenly I was invited for lunch,
and then again for tea-break.
I was trying to act cool, not wanting to show this fella my grin from ear to ear... heee!
It's not that I have feelings for him, it's just that it's flattering to have
someone giving me his full attention.
Actually I've been getting spoilt by the guys at work.
I don't know if its becos of my position or becos I'm the only female around.
I'm not trying to take advantage of my position.
But it's fun when these guys pamper me around.
Really feel like the Queen bee.
My hubby says its because I'm the Queen among the Kings.
I called it Queen among the subjects....heee... very cruel........!!

I guess the guys don't mind.
I don't order them around much, most of the work comes effortlessly
when people are willing to walk the ground with you.
I guess that's why I'm feeling light-headed at work.
It is knowing that your people trust you and know that you are listening
and having their interest at heart and sincerely care for them.
I'm glad I win over their trusts.
It really makes my work easier.
Anyway ...
You can't be a leader if you have no one to lead.

Temptation vs Age

Recently, i've started to receive some nice praises at work.
Not from my Boss, but from one of the subs.
Naturally, i try my best to be humble (i am humble, lah!).
I told him not to 'polish my boots', cos' i'm not that kind of person.
But, as usual, it falls on deaf ears.
As days go, it gets pretty hard to ignore, b'cos it gets flirtatious at times.
As you know, these single guys feel 'safe' flirting with married women, cos
they think that we're happily married.
But we women are also human with feelings, therefore, when the mood is right
(or in this case, WRONG) some how we get swayed by all these unwanted attentions.
So this guy, who is 10yrs younger than me, ask me if i wanted to catch James Blunt's gig
in May, I nearly flipped!!!
Yah, all those attention was fun, but I seriously doubt if he actually went too far.
I should not flatter myself, cos this guy may only be thinking of me as an older 'sister'
and nothing else. But i really nearly jump out of my skin.
Then I realised that he meant whether I want some tickets as he is going to buy some for
himself and his friends.
Lo!!! And I thought I still have it!! HEEeeee. The joke is on me....!!!!????????

Anyway, I'm not going to some gig where there are young people jumping up and down,
while old me, just trying to focus my poor eyesight on James Blunt...
So pathetic.
I didn't know how old I feel until last Sat, when I walk thru Clarke Quay, and totally
felt out of place.
The last time I pass through that place, it was maybe 5 yrs back.
But somehow, i've aged. Maybe mature, lah, ha!
Never in my life I felt so old and so out of place.

Well, like the title of this blog, temptation is everywhere,
but age is always there to remind us of how old we are.
Well my birthday is coming.
But it really feels like deathday is coming nearer too.. heee heee!!!!
