Men! blech.

And so another male colleague from the MBS project has tied the knot. This is the third time since I joined the company 8 and a half months ago.

So we have about over a hundred people working in our project, and only a handful are girls females: Edna, Rowena, Maria, Siti, Raha, Wendy, and yours truly. SEVEN. I am the the only one in the twenties range, and hence the youngest. 3 are married, and the other 3 are way past my ideal marriage age of 25, and are still single. It is quite alarming for me that the other two female engineers (but not site-based) who are more than twice my age are still single and available.

Like, you know, it is more of a dream for me to be a good wife and a mom than for me to progress in my career. Seriously. So if I stay in this industry, I would not get married is it???

It may sound really old-fashioned, but I am more comfortable being the submissive one than the one giving orders. But in my job, I am the one giving orders and the men will follow.

Well sometimes it is such an ego booster, and I laugh a silent evil laughter while thinking: "Ho ho ho I am lording over these men. This is my sweet revenge to all the men who's ever hurt me and betrayed me."

Okay that is only a commercial break. Back to the real program.

But yeah. If I had it my way, I am more comfortable following orders than giving them. I am more comfortable doing the supporting rather than the leading role.

Anyway, what I'm saying is, I need a boyfriend. I epilate my armpits to perfection, why can't I get a boyfriend? What's wrong?

Don't get me wrong, it's not like nobody has ever shown interest. Many have. I get hit on at least 3 times everyday. But only because most of the time I am the only female out there. So, those times don't really count.

One of my bosses who is full of sh*t commented when he saw me and the other female engineer: "So, the single women are here. Do you know that our men have lately been marrying hot and beautiful girls? Why are you still single? Maybe you should go and have a look at the mirror and ask yourself what's wrong."

BLOOOOODY HELL right. Maybe he is just joking. Of course he is just joking, but still, it hurt me. Hawwwmegahhd. But it's true. When he saw us we were at the site and it was scorching hot, and I was sweating and looking like sh*t as always, ever since I started doing site work.

I mean, I can be beautiful if I want to, and I can play dress-up like those hot and beautiful girls my male colleagues married. But I cannot possibly dress up at work, or else I would get more uncomfortable stares from the workers. (Wearing rubbish clothes also kena get stared at. Wear nice clothes somemore then how?)

MEN!

I only need one to prove that they are all not the same.

PS But this excludes my dad, because my mom already got him.

PPS I hope it was pretty obvious I was just being sarcastic when I said I need a boyfriend. I may want one, but I don't need one.
