Approached

Actually, I didnt feel like blogging about this coz it would only label me as shallow..er...a wussy..but it was the highlight of the week. Or my life for that matter. I think I have mentioned before about how it would be nice to be approached by a guy provided he's not the type who does that to every passing girl. It would be a huge huge bonus if the guy is handsome...or at least have nice defined biceps..keke. Why bonus? Considering im jz your below average girl..and the guy is so handsome and he approached me..he's either blind..or he digs chicks like me..*grins*.


SO that is probably your typical rahayu's blabberings who obviously asks too much. Gee...a big wonder why shes single. Anyway, last Monday I had the dubious honour of being approached by a tall malay guy. Come to think of it...he did look like a tall version of my fren Azam...bwahahaha!! The whole incident scared me because it caught me unaware. Yah of coz lah I dont expect to see him strategise his move infront of me. The thing is...I didnt see him coming from anywhere at all. When I went to the library near my workplace, they were doing some cleaning up outside the library. I didnt see anyone doing that deed, I merely saw water dripping down on the sides of the building. I was also eating a waffle at the same time but still, I never saw anyone who were looking at me from anywhere. However, I did see a few dishy good looking chinese guys in their smart work attire. They probably stopped by the library during lunch.

I went into the library as usual, zoom into the usual section, picked a corner and spent the rest of my lunch time there. I borrowed a magazine and the borrowing section where the machines were had less than 5 people around but jz some school girls and old man. I was also thinking how convenient...the walls were lined with mirrors so I checked myself out discreetly. I was wearing this pink top that flares from the bustline. I kept thinking the whole morning I paired it up with the wrong bottom. My skirt had this thick waistline and it was slightly bulging so I felt 'preggie'. Or at least I hoped nobody noticed it.


But still, it didnt stop someone from trying to get to know me. Jz as I stepped out of the library, I heard someone saying Selamat Hari Raya..in a soft male voice behind me. I ignored coz I thought someone was jz being cheeky or it probably wasn't directed at me. But as I continued to walk down the slope, it was being repeated like beckoning me to answer. Dammit, I was freaking out coz there wasn't much people around. I tried to walk faster but unfortunately, he was trying to catch up with me. As if to get my attention, he was walking along the raised sloppy terrain beside the footpath.


I felt extremely uncomfortable because, I was totally caught unaware. My head was running through at high speed on ways to distract him away. My eyes were also darting around thinking where the hell were the people?! Don't they see whats going on here?!


He was asking so many questions but thank goodness they were decent enough questions. He asked if I always go to the library here..do I work around here..where is my work place. I was in between asking myself if I should answer him back..should I pretend to talk on the phone ala Paris Hilton...or what?! So I jz tried avoiding answering his questions but I still flashed half hearted smiles because I didnt want to appear as impolite...geez...I still tried to be nice.


When I finally saw civilisation when approaching the traffic, guessed he felt he didnt want to trail me so far. He stopped after he asked me if I would like to know his name. I turned around quickly to see what he was up to and saw him taking out a small piece of paper. He stretched his arm in his futile attempt to hand it to me. I shook my head and continued to walk and I
heard his voice fading away when he said why I didnt want it.


Maybe he gave up or there were people at the traffic light..I dunno. But I was glad he finally stopped and probably upset that I didn't take the paper.


My close friends chided me for being so shy about the whole incident thing like why the heck I didn't flirt back. I mean I could act coy..or friendly but let's just say Im hugely unprepared for it. Right now, Im in the state of mind in which I just want to be friends with guys because I feel my lack of social life deprive me of getting to know them better. But of course, I wouldn't rule out a possible romance provided I dont jump straight into it. At this point of time, Im in no hurry to fall in love because I am struggling enough in life as it is.


For that guy...I want to offer my apologies..and no, contrary to what my friend said, Im not apologising for not flirting back..geez. Im apologising for acting rather cold even though I tried not too as you're still human with feelings. I've never experienced such things before in my life except one or two occasions when with colleagues or with friends who are the better lot than me. But then, those guys were merely fooling around and it never went beyond a minute. Still, they acted calmly much to my surprise like they go through this everyday. Very admirable.


When it came to my turn (eurgh..the thought of it..), I acted like a wussy because it all stemmed from the fact that I didnt know where he came from. He might just be someone who pounced upon any suspecting victims coming out of the library. He could be one of the cleaners who were cleaning up the library compound at that time. Plus, he came from behind and how can be so spot on that Im Malay from my back view unless of course, he had been observing me for some time. Or, he just played with luck.


I know I may seem to think too much but I guess that's just me. It is indeed an eye opener for me and maybe I'll react better next time...I don't know. However, to say that he's astounded by my superficial beauty..I cant say either. I wouldn't look down on myself by thinking I don't deserve the attention because we are all beautiful in our own ways. Some may gaze upon them while we think that we're nowhere near beauty.


Im not gonna play mind games with myself to think about why he was so keen to get to know me. Okaylah, truth be told, I can only admire the fact...that, I was admired..hehe. Fortunately, not by some sleazebag like some bangladesh workers who never saw women before.


I don't believe Im saying this either...but I also admire your courage. And you didn't go into my personal space so thank you for respecting me. I'd better stop being apologetic before I give the wrong impression to anyone..hehe. Wow..me admired? That's a nice thought..*grinning*..like what my fren said, it's only the beginning. Gee, thanks for the 'encouragement'.

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Ray of Light

The act of falling in love. Very subjective and it also depends on the object you desire. Well, if it is the 'whoa mama!' sort of hunk or good looker, then yours truly has fallen in love many times over and over again. But a guy who has stolen my heart for good..well...that has yet to happen. But let's not talk about my non existent love life. Let's just ponder over the act of falling in love. From what I have observed through several tv shows or even movies, I gather that well..not everyone is so lucky to have fallen in love at first sight. It takes time, and maybe it will even take boyfriend after boyfriend or girlfriend after girlfriend before reality smacks your face and you end up with your very first boyfriend (gasp!). What a truly merry go round. Hey, it happens. Because we make mistakes and we are too blind to notice how someone can truly bring you happiness by their sheer volumes of care and concern for you. In the midst of crisis, a ray of light shines through...
