RAWWWRRRR!!!!! Here comes the Hulkess!!! What is a Hulkess? A female Hulk... You know? that green monster? Okay.. I'm exaggerating. Short of the green colour and the fiery temper, haha.. but the build is there. That beefy body.
Over dinner, I asked my dad... "Daddy ah... people who swim often have broad shoulders rite?" He nodded, I proceeded to ask: " Do my shoulders look broad to you?" He replied: " So broad, like a man ah! All guys will run away from you! You dun look feminine at all! Think you cannot take on jobs like air stewardess or a receptionist.. those frontline jobs that require petite ladies...You can work as a bouncer though." -_-"' Thanks dad...
Haha.. but I laughed it off... "I never saw myself as a feminine kinda woman, ever since young." His eyes widened for a second. (think he thought I wanted to become a butch) To cut his shock I added: "Not that I don't see myself as a woman at all, there can be many types of women..." I was kind of amused.. hahaha.. so my father actually prefers petite women like my mom(duh!?!)!!! Hahaha...
But all along I never knew that my body was beefy.. I thought that I was just fat. Or maybe its fat and muscles mixed together.. Haha.. Until recently, a lot of people have been telling me I got huge arms.. not flabby but like those canoeists.. I remember another conversation with a friend: Hey Mei Yen.. You look better in long sleeved shirt. Why? Oh.. it hides your big arms.
Not that I don't like my arms and broad shoulders, I like them this way, at least for now. I don't get so frightened now if I have to walk in some deserted place at night, some sense of security for me. :)
But I guess as long as its not too much fats, I embrace my body as it is: short and stout. I know I can never get a pencil thin body. Its just not my body type. And right now, I have never felt healthier, I feel gooood. Better a toned stout tanned bod like the hulk than a slim but not too healthy body yea?
Oh ya.. did I mention my dad ended off the conversation with: " I think if you were a pig being slaughtered, shoulder ham from you would sell very well". What a joker.
