A Tribute to Beach Gals... Part 3

I feel like a very obedient gal today. Why? Bcos I actually worked most of the day! Actually feels good. Bcos I know I am not idling away, surfing Flowerpod, Doggisite, blogging (yes I know I am now, but the day is almost gone, and I cant blog at home!)... I shall continue to do that.
My counterpart in China told me she had a talk with our boss. She knew that I felt rather lousy after kennaing(?) again yesterday. She heard what my boss scolded me for, and she actually felt my boss was abit unreasonable. So when the chance arose today, she had a talk with boss. And she related the conversation to me. Comforted me that actually boss did not think so badly of me, just that I am too shy and reserved, and do not (dare) communicate with her alot. And that scold me is for my own good, want me to buck up. Tell me not to take to heart, cos boss also forget after scolding. I was like -_-'.. I know for a fact that I am slacking. And yes, I happen to be abit shy and reserved. I am not one who will fight for myself. My friends know that, maybe thats why they all (most of them la) seem to want to protect me. I also know that basically boss means no harm, just that the words used sometimes hurts more than she knows. Well, since I have decided to stay put, I guess I will just have to adjust my mindset, and really buck up, and give boss less reasons to scold me lor, right? Right.
When I met my uni friends on Monday, a question popped up: If you knew that the foetus you are carrying is defective, would you choose to keep it or abort it? Tough question huh? I would choose to.... I dont know... I would want to abort it, bcos not only the baby will suffer under the looks of onlookers, the parents and the people who love the baby will also suffer. On the other hand, its a life you are talking about.... Yes, thats why its so tough. What will your choice be?
Part 3 of Beach Gals.... Its gonna be a short one, cos till now, I cannot say that I know Ms Fit very well. Somehow, she doesnt seem to be able to blend into the gang like the rest, but still she is part of it. The distance makes it more difficult, now that she is in Germany. I am guilty to say that I have not made the effort to keep in touch. Though sometimes when we have 'major' gatherings, I will still keep her in the loop, but most of the times, she is forgotten...
Ms Fit, as her nick describes, is the fittest one amongst us all. She learnt ballet since young, and has always been dancing throughout her uni days, even after. So you can imagine how toned she is. Flat tummy, toned legs, nice arms (that doesnt flap like mine when I wave them). I have never seen her gone 'out-of-shape' like some of us do (yes I admit that I am now ~_~). She has a rather big age gap between her and her siblings (all brothers), which may explain why sometimes I feel that she is a little 'spoilt', not extremely, just a little at times. But generally, Ms Fit is an easy-going person, and is gamed for anything. I am not sure why, but I felt that (and still feel so) Ms Fit has a problem communicating with us. Sometimes no one seem to hear her. its like after you speak, no one gives any reaction to what you said, know what I mean? And then after an awkward moment, suddenly another person says something and the topic is quickly changed. That happened quite a few times, I recall, with Ms Fit. I really have no idea why, but sometimes, no one can continue with her topic. Maybe different interests? The only person who talk to her more maybe is Dajie. Since they live nearer to each other (both of them stay east, whilst the rest of us stay west), I guess they talk more when they go home together. Jb-ren sometimes goes diving with Ms Fit too, so I think they would be closer. Actually, I think anyone would be closer to her than me, cos I have never ever been out alone with her before. Is it my fault then that I have not cherished the time when I could have tried to understand her more? Maybe...
Ms Fit's love life hasnt been very smooth (The way I feel la). Somehow the relationships always gone wrong. Until F, her hubby now. Even him, I am not sure whether Ms Fit really loves him, or its just to prove herself. Prove what, I dont know. Its just a feeling I have. Even till now, I have that feeling that she is not happy. Dont ask me why, cos I wouldnt be able to answer the question. Its just the feeling, the feeling, you know? And also, there are some instances, like the last time she came back, she went to C, her haridresser, who happens to be Director's friend. Ms Fit was 'complaining' that her hubby doesnt give her money etc. But she did not mention anything to us. Is she feeling that we do not care about her? Is she feeling being neglected by us? Are we?
Maybe its time to start doing something about it. How? Let me think about it....
P/s: I told you its gonna be a short one...

What puzzled me was ...Ms Fit actually juggled a busy work schedule and masters in NUS... but shortly after gave up everythg to get married... *scratch head* either she wanted to get married badly cos she loved F hellof alot.. or she's juz sick of working..sick of being an earthling.. slogging day in day out..
