In the morning, we travelled together. She talked nonstop with her mix thia friend and appeared every bit the haughty, high achiving young lady with tons of attitude. We got introduced and exchanged few polite words, words that leaves no trace in the mind.
We met again in the evening and travelling in Bangkok traffic for more than an hour.
She was very friendly and chatty. She was no big city girl. She hails from a small town near Goungzue and have a boyfrind doing his PhD in USA. They meet every six months. She wants to move in with him but she doesnt like to go to USA. She would prefer to live in Signapore where she works. But she said, in life, one got to do things when there is no choice. In the evening light, she appeared forlorn and melancholic when she said,'it must be difficult to have children, its huge responsibilities'. She appeared tired and worried, her worries revolved around some things on job she needed to accomplish within given timelines which seems difficult. She lived in BEjing for six years and miss lot of friends had there. She wants to go back there, only doesnt know how and when. Her parents would be visiting her soon and her mom, she said, with a sweet smile, is getting her lots of ginger. Her mom would be cooking for her and didnt know what to get, so getting gingers. Her father pushing her to get married. She feels he is getting old and retire soon, so must be wanting her to get married to have grandchildren to play with him to keep him busy. Many of her friends getting married too now a days. She said she grew up lonely being single child but also felt it could be better to have a single child and do the best for him or her. She wants to go back to China and said amaging things are happening there. Average people are becoming rage.
She felt it is diffcult to get married for girls sometimes in China now. If a girl is 20, she wants someone of 30, if she is 30, she wants someone in his 40s but a guy, no matter whats is age, always want a girl of 20. Seems guys everywhere are same!
She would sometimes make eye contact and smile and say, China got lot of problems which arent allowed to be published. There are stories of corruption and someday soon, the control could be gone. She also wondered if Jasmine revolution would reach the shore of China.
She was slim and well dressed.
In a matter of few hours, she appeared every inch the small city girl that she was.
