Being Happy Is A Choice

Speaking of guys--- It seems that I'm always attracting the older crowd. Be it when I was working after the O'Levels, or now.

Reasons I give myself---
i) I look older than my actual age.
ii) Older guys tend to like me because I have this 'innocent' look yet not too clingy.
iii) I can take all kinds of jokes. Older guys like women who can 'let it go', so that they don't have to worry about me hanging around and causing them any further trouble.

And guess what, my 'encounters' with random guys are all those older than me, by quite a bit...

Case 1: 31 Dec 1999. Was waiting for ZX and MM to go for the millenium countdown at Taka Level 4 when a caucasian male approached me and asked if I would like to give him a New Year Kiss. ERrrrr. No Thanks. But a handshake would be nice. (I was only 16 then, barely legal!!! What was he thinking??)

Case 2: Dec 2004. I was working as a temp sales staff at the Metro Warehouse Sale at Expo. Got off work at 1800hr, walked to the Expo MRT station, took the train to Changi Airport, walked to the basement busstop. Then a guy at least 40 years old came up to me and asked if I know which bus goes to the town area. I wan't sure and directed him to the passenger service counter nearby, and walked away. He came up again and asked where I'm going. I just replied that I'm NOT going to the town area and sorry, I have to run for my bus (which is really coming). I was queuing up at the door of the bus when he came running up, presented him namecard and said "I'm not coming this direction at all. I just want to give you this and hopefully next time we can come out for a drink."
Errrrrrr. I threw his namecard away after that.

Case 3: March 2005. Was on the train from Bugis back home when this Black guy came up to sit beside me. He started off by asking for the time. Then, he began introducing himself and asked for my contact number. Errrrrrr. Sorry, but I don't think it's convenient. Bye. He got off at Dhoby Ghaut.

Am I asking too much for a guy?? Why is it that I always end up in such weird situations??
