THE NEW GUYS
3 new single malaysian guys have recently joined my department.
now, i can almost guess the kind of images that are developing in your minds when you read the first sentence, my dear (fellow special beings) readers. images of three gorgeous looking (and possibly plu) guys in office wear must come to mind huh? i had the same image in my mind as well (or could it just be me? alamak malu la pulak).
but unfortunately for me, the reality turned out to be a leeeeetle bit different than that. let's just say that my dreams of any office romance were dashed the moment i saw them at the airport (hahaha). they turned out to be straight, and not very... yummy (i don't mean to objectify these people, but i just need to say it. it's important for the storyline..hahaha)
although my gaydar may not be working properly the whole time, i'm pretty sure it got it right this time. they are definitely not bengkok. but thankfully, they are also not one of those super duper masculine guys who i am not uncomfortable to be around with. they turned out to be average 30 something single guys guys. average SAD 30 something single guys. seriously, isn't it sad to be single when you are 30 something and straight? (i'm indirectly insulting my brother here, out of spite. hehehe).
generally they are ok. it's been about 3 months since they came, and in my opinion, they are still tolerable (don't know if they can say the same thing about me though.. hehehe). sure, one has a bad breath problem (or APPEARS to have one because he is always unconsciously covering his mouth when he talks and popping breath mints and using the breathspray every so often) and one has a problem using the toilet (the toilet is practically FLOODED everytime after he uses it. makes you wonder if he's trying to save money by showering in the office). but generally, they are ok. for now (i feel the need to put a disclaimer.. cos u never know what's gonna happen later).
watching them having to go through the stuff that they need to do to get settled in this country reminds me of how i was just over a year ago. how i was feeling at the time, how my life was. i can't believe it was barely 16 months ago. it seemed like so many things have happened since then. it may not be so clear before, but i'm starting to realise that i've changed a quite a bit since i first came here. i HAVE grown. i HAVE gained some experience. i guess it really takes someone who doesn't have what u have to make u realise that u have it right. when i compare myself then with myself now, i think one word would describe it best. stronger. and in more way than one too.
yeap, i'm stronger now.

"'Cos I'm strong enough
To live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go
There's no more to say
So save your breath
And then walk away
No matter what I hear you say
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go"
ada kaitan tak??? hahahahaha... but after i read your entry, sr8 away i think abt this song...
