One weekend morning a few months ago, I was driving out of the city towards Klang to meet my friend Boon for a good Bak Kut Teh breakfast. I was supposed to pick him up at Subang Parade and go in my car.
When he hopped in, I asked him
“Oi.. your gf leh?”
And he said
“She’s still sleeping. You know I feel that girls always seem to have a harder time getting out of bed than guys”.
That’s when it struck me.
I thought of someone I had spent time with and it’s true. Every morning when I wake up next to her, she’s still asleep.
And if I don’t intervene to wake her up, the clock will hit 12PM and she’ll still be asleep. And believe me, just telling her to “wake up” is not enough to wake her up. First I gotta go turn off the air-con, then pull off the blanket and go make as much noise as I can washing up.
In fact, here’s what annoys me the most.
I wake up later than usual when she’s around because just when I want to get out of bed and go brush my teeth, she cuddles back into my arms resting her big head on my shoulder and that warm feeling feels soooo good it makes me want to stay in bed.
The next I know I wake up and I’m late for work. Ish… so unproductive!
Then I think back of all the girls I’ve been with in the past and they’re ALL like that. Like getting out of bed in the morning is the most difficult thing they’ve ever had to do.
(All except one though… who would get up at 6am every morning like clock work. Heck even I can’t beat that.)
So do you guys and girls find that to be true or are my cases the exceptions?
