2003-11-21 ~ 9:50 p.m. ~ Where are your laugh lines?
I was at the naval base today. The view of the sea was serene. The waves were not choppy at all, but it was hazy and drizzling. Even the air smells different. The lobby of the auditorium has full paneled glass windows where you can see the sea. But I had not so wonderful company. I was stucked with Ms Pretentious. Towards the whole car trip to the naval base, I was looking out of the window, my mind somewhere far away. They were making idle conversations. I didn't really chip in much. The feeling that I was stuck with Ms. Pretentious was enough to make me feel sick to the stomach. I lack patience, and I can't bring myself to smile at someone I don't really enjoy talking with. But sure, it's a job, so I'll have to bear with it. My colleague told me about how to differentiate a genuine smile to a pretentious smile. She said if there were fine lines right under the eye when the person smiles, then you know this person is not a genuine person. However, if the person has them at the corner of the eyes, it is a genuine smile. I do not know how true that is, but I will sure go around to check it out.
