艳福不浅？

I have a question (or maybe 2)… How do u differentiate between being “friendly & sociable” to being “liberal & open-minded”? How would u react or feel when someone of the opposite sex behaves in an “over-friendly” manner? For most gals, I tink is quite straightforward tat u will feel offended when a guy (bf/hubby not included) gets too touchy or tok abt too private/sensitive/suggestive stuff…

Ok… b4 u misunderstand my purpose for toking abt tis topic, tinking tat I did something to outrage some gal’s modesty… I DID NOT… I am blogging actually to find out abt the other perspective… when a gal behaves in a manner tat borders on the edge of flirtation/seduction, how should the guy react? Take note tat the Q states “on the edge of”, meaning it’s not realli seduction in the sense like stripping in front of the guy, but rather maybe in a subtle or unintentional way…

Ok ok… no point going around in circles… I’ll juz go straight to the point… I got to know tis gal thru a fren… she’s a close fren of my fren and I onli got to know her on a group outing abt 3 months ago… we cun even be considered real friends, maybe juz acquaintances, since we onli know each others’ names and onli meet on our group outings with our common fren…

Ok (too many oks)… now to describe her… as u can guess from the opening part of tis long-winded post, she is very… umm… “friendly”… althou we are not beri close and haven’t known each other for long, she tells me everything under the sun (or in my own words, everything under the skirt)… in our 1st conversation, I oredi knew things like her menses, her cup-size, wat brand/colour of bra/panty she wears (Impt Note: I din ask her hor… she juz told me in the course of our conversation)…

Ok (again)… at first I tot she’s onli beri vocal & direct in her speech… but her behavior even portrayed her “friendliness” further… she would occasionally place her hand on my thigh when toking… when we took neoprint, she hugged my waist with both hands (my other fren, whom I knew longer & much closer, onli hooked my hand)… then got one point when we in the ktv, she said she’s tired and told me “借我靠一下”… I tot she juz meant leaning her head on my arm or shoulder so I din reject… Guess wat she did? She HUGGED me from the back… umm… how to describe… her hands came round from the back to the front around the stomach area (luckily/unluckily not lower… oops)… her whole front was leaning against my back… and to let u have a beta idea of how up close she was getting, her chin was resting against the side of my neck… hope u can imagine…

I was realli stumped at tat moment… my body practically froze… I din dare to move, fearing tat the movement would cause rubbing btw my back and her *cough cough* assets… I am not trying to act virgin here, but having someone u dun know tat well behave so intimately is realli awkward & uncomfortable… *ponders*… ok maybe juz awkward… oops…

Ok (stop it !!!)… b4 tis begins to look like a “bei hiao bai” post, like I’m trying to “hao lian” tat some gal is hitting on me… I have no such intention… and she’s NOT hitting on me… I honestly believe she’s juz realli friendly & sociable… she juz behaves in a manner tat’s not common in Asian society…

Feeling abit luan now coz I’m meeting her again tmr… at a loss of how to behave in a manner tat is considered both polite and appropriate towards her… I mean… I cun juz freeze and “stone” every time she surprises me with her actions… reciprocate with the same treatment? Nah… will make me feel like I’m taking advantage of her… I may be humsup by nature but I do respect women… try to keep a distance? Hmm… will tat make me appear unfriendly and rude?

Haiz… suan le… I’ll juz wait n see how things go tmr… umm… then in the end, tis post turns out to be useless… chey…nv mind lah… juz for me to pour out my confused tots… and for ur entertainment…

End Of Holiday... Start Of Hell... Umm... I Mean Work

School starts tmr… sobs… so sianz… definitely not looking forward to it… haiz… nuah for too long liao… now in permanent holiday mood… hahaha…

Got my timetable on Friday… taking two classes for Chinese, one P3 & one P5… both results KNS so have quite abit of work to do… expect to teach until vomit blood… oso have one P5 PE… and two classes of ART (P5 & P6)…

Beri luan at the moment… my P3 Chinese class no textbook and workbook (coz stock haven’t come yet) so duno do wat for the 1st week… I dun even know who’s in my P5 Chinese class coz they haven’t confirmed the list yet (I’m doing parallel teaching, meaning they’ll take out the weakest students from the class let me teach)… and nobody told us (new teachers) wat to do for subjects we are not familiar with (like PE & ART)…

Asked around for help… but noone realli gave us any constructive ideas… they all said things like “Aiya… 1st week relax lah… no textbook juz do self-intro in class 1st loh… then set classroom rules… familiarize urself with the class 1st…” I know all tis ah… but u cun expect us to spend the whole week not teaching anything ba…

Haiz… suan le… tink I’ll juz relax and let nature takes its own course… 1st week juz take time to settle down, get used to the environment, settle all the admin stuff (laptop, passwords, Edumail etc) and make new frenz… ya… tat’s beri impt… I realized tat if u dun get along well with ur colleagues or dun have close frenz in school, u’re in for a hard time… so beta spend some time mingling around…

Penang Murder

Juz read last nite’s papers… saw tis news article tat some fishermen found a female head floating in the waters of Penang… preliminary autopsy reports say the woman was murdered, then got her head cut off by the murderer and dumped into the sea… gruesome…

My impression from the Penang trip was tat the people were friendly and honest… the place had a homely feel… and security seemed much safer than other parts of Malaysia… nv expected something so horrible to happen juz less than a week of our return… lucky we din end up finding a head in the waters while at the beach… tat would have been such a holiday-spoiler…

Back From Penang... Sianz...

I’m back… with a belly… after 4 days of gorging on food in Penang… haha… the food there is realli cheap and good… char kway teow, hokkien mee, bah kut teh and so much more… may be juz simple common fare but those in Penang are so sedap… in comparison, can tell the food standards in sg sux… juz now I oredi missing Penang food while having dinner liao… sg hawker food juz pales in comparison…

So sianz to be back in sg… esp with the tot of having to start work soon… the next holiday seems so far away… sobs…

Tis afternoon reach home tat time I see my mum so relieved to see me coz I din call home, felt a sense of guilt… partly becoz I made her worried by not calling… but mainly becoz I am not as happy abt my coming back as she is… well… not tat I dun miss my family… I love my parents… it’s juz tat I dun miss Singapore… in fact, I felt so demoralized the moment I alighted the plane at Changi airport…

If any of u tink I’m being disloyal to my country… so be it… I nv liked sg and I’m not going to pretend I do… at least I’m being honest… spare me all the preaching abt patriotism… I dun believe in tat crap… to me, patriotism is not juz abt singing majulah singapura… painting the national flag on ur face during national day dun make u patriotic, it juz makes u look silly…

True patriotism can onli be seen in times of crisis… if u are one tat is willing to throw ur life away to defend the country, I salute u… but then again, saying is one thing, doing is another… how many people can realli practise wat they preach?

Aiyo… paiseh… at 1st wana blog abt my Penang trip one… duno why suddenly turn into something so solemn… haha… maybe becoz too high during last four days, now come back suddenly feel so low… so abit ki siao… I’ll blog more abt the Penang trip details in a few days’ time when I feeling normal again… and maybe post some photos when my frenz send me… I din take much photos on my own camera… stay tuned…
