The stories that never ended

These are 2 entries that never made it here before because I never finished it. I'm not one to post unfinished work but I hate for it to be sitting there, more than a year after, unfinished because I can't recall what happened. So here it goes;

17 May 2010

My body acheeessss… Let’s rewind back to Friday when it all started.

Friday- woke up with a mood of a bull ready to trample the world. I was dressed and out the door and just in time for work. It was the company’s outing that night. The plan? – Bowling followed by dinner at some steamboat place which was a walk away from Sunway Pyramid.

Seeing that management was going to be there, I decided I should just make an appearance. Now, I do not bowl. Tried once when I was 15 or 16 but my parents were too anal to let me go again. Then again, I wasn’t allowed to go anywhere or do anything. Yes, I was very much deprived. So, here I was again, at the bowling alley, in heels and a book. I was adamant I was not going to bowl because I’m not going to want to look like a complete fool or worse – actually hurt somebody. Trust me; I am very much capable of doing that. I call it an accident; the boyfriend does not think so.

So, after much persuasion, I traded my heels for this gawky looking pair of bowling shoes. Then, I had to find a bowling ball for myself. I didn’t even know it had different weights to it. (Told you I’ve never bowled before). Bowled a few that ended in the gutter. Then finally I started getting better. I told myself to look at the lines on the lane and just throw/fling (whatever you call it) following it. It worked most of the time when my thumb was not stuck in the ball and flew out with a thud on the lane.

I kinda got bored after that. But I knew that my arm was gonna hurt like a bitch the next day.

Moral of the day? – Bowling is so not my thing.

Saturday – woke up early and followed the boyfriend to work. Spent the whole day on my laptop watching movies and playing games while he works away. It’s our way of spending time together while giving each other space. We’re weird that way but hell, we’re happy.

Finally watched The Blind Side and cried. I’m such a sucker for feel good movies.

That was Saturday.

Sunday – woke up early and went for breakfast with Sue. Then we headed for the reason- I-am-so-sore-all-over ; dance practice. Oh! I have never ached so badly in my life! As fun as it was, I felt awkward. I have not danced in years. I felt so stiff. I mean, it’s not like I did ballet but I have choreographed and performed many times before. I envied the instructor. Her body is so limber; she can make a man scream in ecstasy at just a thought.

I had to leave the practice early though cause I had to join the boyfriend and the family for family lunch. Met them at Sunway Pyramid and we had lunch at TGIF. My fish dish was horrid. Ugh.. Is it just me or has TGIF’s food standard dropped?

Cest la vie!


16 June 2010


Back at work again after taking one day of medical leave due to a viral thingy ma jiggy. I hate being sick. I feel like taking a gun to myself and shooting myself because I feel so uncomfortable. And I still do.

Ugh.

The weirdest thing happened. The boy and I were watching Psych and once it was over, I held out my hand for him to help me up. He pulled me up into him arms while the Psych team song was playing and said this. “I want this song to be our wedding song.” I wanted to smack him.

Of course I said no but the weird thing? The fact that he brought up the M word up without gasping for air or screaming “Pressure much?”. That’s good, I guess.

Marriage is definitely on my mind seeing that we live together and are moving into our own place next year (and for the fact that I’m getting older by the day).
