shoot me

was complaining that i would have a boring saturday...and of course, a boring saturday was what i had.
woke up at 9 and finished reading morning paper at 11. decided to do some marking but found those town council workers moving the lawn outside too noisy for me to sit down and concentrate. thus, i decided to check the computer for those downloads. voila, the hangover was done. thought i only wanted to check out to see the quality of the download, but my butt refused to reach the chair and i told myself, 'marking later'.
so finished watching the movie...and boy, some of the parts were really funny. but i think it is more of a guy movie thing.
then lunch. next continue marking? well, the tvs upstairs and downstairs were turned on...so another reason i couldn't carry out my work. yes, it is a valid reason because i am the kind who cannot work and concentrate with disruptions around me.
so decided to take a nap...but failed. see, i dun nap and it is not a habit of mine. but i managed to waste another hour.
so marking started like late in the afternoon. and boy was i fast. expert bah. by nightfall, i have finished all that i wanted to mark. then i had a group of kids to attend to from 8 to 10.
at 10, started brushing my teeth and decided to catch gladiator on tv2. it was my first time watching the movie and it was good. like it. the movie ended at around 1a.m. and that ended my saturday. what a day huh....
and it is with sadness that i realised i have no friends. sigh. colleagues are colleagues. friends from my school days are all in kl and they have their own life and new friends. college mates...all over the world. i need to get new friends. friends i can meet. friends i can hang out with.

a friend of mine (well, i do have those that i can still see online) suggested those social service, i.e. dating sites. he suggested lunchactually because his friends have met great ppl there. well, shall i? hehe...go to kl, have lunches....but wait....to join lunchactually, u have to pay and u have to be screened first before you are accepted. so what if i am not good enuf? that will be a super blow to the ego right? i wonder how much they charge? hmmh...all these might just be empty talk on my side. doing this alone is definitely very hard kan. what has happened to old fashion romance where boy meets girl...or in my case woman meets man?? where is cupid when you need him???

Funny thing is, when you stop looking, they will all come to you.

a bit like your fly story, fely?

escape, just go for it. there are many good dating websites that are for professionals who are too busy to socialise to meet someone.

don't worry too much about not passing the screening. have more faith and confidence in yourself.

best of luck.

wei wei screening is juz to know more abt u & ur expectation, no pass or fail one la, some ppl i know tried lunch actually & met their better halfs there ;-) even if u dun find ur other half, u'll still benefit as ur circle of friends will grow as u meet ppl with same interest etc....but heard also service drop slightly after got famous....one note of advice: better meet & liase with the lady boss directly, she's better.....

have a life girl. go out. meet ppl. real ppl. i dont have many friends nowadays too. i hang out most with my kids and hubby. i can count the outings i've been to with old time bestfriend viola. My colleagues are all busy with their own families. tried to arrange one outing but had to cancel cos she had to balik kampung see the grandma who is sick. huhu...

But you are single and available. Dont pressure yourself. Just enjoy each moment of the day. Seize the day! Love will come without you knowing or looking. :-)
