26 July 07
Exactly 3 years..
Did not realise it till she asked..

*****

A chilly jog into the dark, felt slightly better..
Having the wind in my face, is a form of solace to the daily toll and drudgery..
My mind, a blank, my body, tired..
But I pushed on like a sadistic commando will do..
Mind over body, just that was wondering where my mind went to..
Then it came.
For a split second the picture of me being an athletic victim clutched by a sudden collapse pierced into me..
Perhaps I'm losing my independence gradually, perhaps I'm scared..
Have you ever got stuck in a position where you are dying to get out but cannot do so?

*****

An ermm..interesting conversation:

She: You look really quiet..
Me: (Smile) ...
She: Are you really 25?
Me: Yes
She: You look really young lei
Me: Uh no la..I'm old le, feel old..
She: I'm 5 years older than you..
Me: Oh isit?
She: Yes, and my eldest son is already 10..
Me: Oh isit? You dont look like you are married..
She: Oh yes..show you..
(Takes out her hp enthusiastically, showed me the wallpaper of her 3 kids)
Me: (Looked surprised)
She: Think I have to treat you to tea le..
Me: Uh me too..(-,-)

After some silence and when I tried to look out of the window..

She: You seldom take the bus eh?
Me: Uh..yea..
She: You always work OT ah, how come I always see that the emails you send out are always very late de..
Me: (Astounded) Huh..Oh isit? Very late??
She: Yes..always after 5 de..
Me: (Whoa..!) ...

Silence again..

She: How long have you been working here?
Me: 3 years, oh ya..3 years exactly..
She: Oh..then this is your first job?
Me: Yea..
She: Oh so you joined this company when you are 22?
Me: (=__=) Uh yea..

Finally she alighted..
Me: (Finally peace)

I felt bad for having an extremely unenthusiastic response..
But I just dont feel like talking..
Three years ago, I was thrown questions by a senior as if I was to be matchmade to her son..
And now a recently joined coll did the same to me, again..
Do I look so very interesting or enigmatic that people want to know more about me?
