Because of the Clothes

WARNING HAZARD! Mushy entry. May cause gagging :D

A staff who has attended one of my training few months ago saw me at the office yesterday. She's attending a different training. Here's a snippet of our conversation.

Staff1: Kak Sue, why are you soooo... slim?
Me : Huh! *feeling really, really surprise* No lah.
Staff1: Really! You look so thin. What happened?
Me : Can't be lah. The weighing scale don't lie.
Staff : *still having a disbelief look on her face* But you look so slim. Maybe because of this clothes you're wearing.
Me : Yeah maybe.

I smiled and rushed off to find the caterer because the food allocated for my class was not enough.

Later in the evening, excitedly relate the above incident to hubby while we're having dinner.

Hubby: Maybe something is wrong with her eyesight.

Me: *just look at hubby one kind*

Hubby: Sometimes, when people say something they actually mean the opposite.

Me: *give hubby the look* OK. I'm not going to tell you similar stories in the future.

Hubby: Don't be like that. Everyone needs a second opinion. A second opinion is good.

I make faces at him and he keeps on teasing me about it.

Much much later after midnight, I woke up due to some allergic reaction. I started sneazing and my nose was blocked, stuffed and I had to blow and it didn't help very much cause despite blocked, it still drips. Applying some balm didn't ease the congestion either.

So after tossing and turning and change place with hubby and change again hoping a different sleeping position would help, later I decided to just stuff a tissue paper at the problematic nostril. All the while, hubby can't sleep too with all my fussing around. Despite the disturbance and the tissue paper, before we finally dozed off somewhere around 3....

Hubby: I love you.

Me: *big smile* I know now you really love me since you say that despite the tissue paper in the nostril.

Hehehehe... That's a very sweet moment. Hubby can tease me all he wants about my 'slimness' as long as he continues loving me no matter what :)

I'm very much the professional at work today. All prim and proper minus allergy. But the warmth and sweetness of the early morning incident still envelopes and make me smile.

Luv u too hubby :)

Wanna gag??? Don't say I didn't warn you :)

Fresh update as I went to the pantry to get a hot drink while writing this entry. I haven't told hubby yet. Another comment made by my previous participant who attended a different training today.

Staff2: Sue, are you pregnant?

Me: No lah. Maybe just the clothes.

Sigh! OK no more baby doll blouses at work. Corporate look is a YES!
