Today at a meeting with a new client.
Boss: This is my assistant.
Client : Hello, I'm Mr. R.
Me: Hello *introduces self*
Client : This is my wife.
Client's wife: Hello, im MRS.R.
eh, suddenly she lost her identity.
She is now only known as "MRS.R".
I hated it when the EX used to refer to me as "his girlfriend".
"Hey what are you doing?"
Oh, just hanging out with MY GIRLFRIEND.
Hello, takde nama ke?
I know many of you are DYING to be called someone's gf or to be referred to as someone's gf. If that is the case, you all need to go for identity crisis anonymous meetings.
The BF thankfully refers to me by name. Because well, I have one. My parents gave me one. And I happen to love it.
Sure, about 5 people in my hometown alone share the same name as I do (minus the surname) but heck, I like to be known by the name my momma gave me. And not tumpang glamour my hubby's (if I ever get married) name or be known as someone's gf.

He flies REAL planes?
Some people ask the weirdest questions.
Me waiting for BodyCombat class to begin at 645pm. Membership Consultant RV stands in front of me, chatting. Then he chimes:-
"Hey, what does your BF do?"
"He is a pilot."
"Like with REAL planes?"
(thinks to self) *Well, are there such things as FAKE PLANES?*
The only fake plane I know is this one hanging on TGIF's ceiling.
"Yeah, with REAL planes, whatever that means."
"No-la, sometimes ah, there are girls whose boyF work in some pilot company and they say their boyF are pilots."
(thinks to self again)*what the heck is a pilot company?*
"Urm, I guess so."
At this juncture, my friend JoL was having a mighty laugh next to me. Apparently she was nodding furiously to the "pilot company" statement. Not because she did not understand what a pilot company was (as I could not fathom) but because she actually understood what RV meant by "pilot company".
JoL then chimes "Yeala some of these girls want to show off!"
Show off? What is there to show off? Show off that your boyF is a pilot?
To have a sense of pride that your boyF can navigate a plane, yes.
To feel good that he has a good paying job, yes. (it means I dont have to dig into my own pockets to support him. Yeah, some of you may judge me. But for security purposes, I would prefer that my man can take care of himself financially thankyouverymuch)
But to show off? It's not like its MY job. or that I am the one with the skills to fly the plane.
Seriously, Apa yang nak di-show off kan?
Obviously I am not dating him for his job. If I did, then perhaps I may have the tebal muka-ness to show off.
I wonder if the BF beams with pride when he tells others what I do. As far as I know, when I tell people what I do for a living, they turn their heels and walk the other way. Sometimes they gasp in disbelief that I am doing what I do.
Mostly, they give a grunt of disgust.
How sad is it to have studied for 6 years, gone through a year of "training" only to have people throw you looks of disgust when you tell them what you do?
Very sad. But it's okay. I shall acquire a tebal muka to show off the BF's job. He flies REAL PLANES.
Chewah.

If you love somebody, let them go...
Topic on FlyFM's Pagi show this morning : Brad(as in Pitt- like there is any other) did the right thing by leaving Jennifer when he met his perfect match- Angelina.
My first thought : Accurate. I fully agree.
Now, the FLyFM announcer Nadia was the one who made this statement. Her co-announcer Ben was obviously appalled that she would say such a thing. He thinks that it is a terrible, terrible thing to do to another. Just because we met someone else while we are with another, there is no justification for leaving whom we are with to be with the other person.
One caller said : One should never build their happiness based on another's misery.
Another agreed with Nadia that if you have met the love of your life (or so you think) then you should go for it.
I agree that if you think you have met the love of your life, you should go for it. One can be with another for 7 years ( that would be me but that is another story for another day) and still not think that the person is right for you. And someone else comes along, and you click, you laugh at the same things, break into song at the same time, laugh at the same jokes and all those other things which you hardly find in another person (best friend, parent, sibling or what not) what should stop you from pursuing it?
My rationale is this :- It would cause temporary misery for the person left behind, but it would be lifelong suffering if one were to stay with another out of obligation when the person's heart is no longer with the other but is longing for someone else. That would be unfair to him or her. Why would I want to "force" another to stick with me while his heart is pining for someone else? I should be grateful he has released my heart to find someone who will love it wholeheartedly and willingly. If Brad has stuck to Jennifer, he would be miserable and in turn so would Jennifer. And in turn, three people would suffer, Brad, Jennifer and Angelina. Now, all three are happy.
I don't see anything wrong with that.
