sounds-like-she's-sore-old-spinster entry
i'm really happy cos meeting up with old frens the past few weeks reminded me that i have quite a few old RGS frens and a couple of JC frens i can always rely on... and i'm thankful that things haven't really changed much even though i was physically separated from many of my good pals. i hope all these friendships will last a long time to come, though i'm worried i'll be left with fewer and fewer when i gradually lose my single frens as other things take priority in their lives.
was also having nice talk with y and we observed the curious phenomenon of many perfectly eligible but still single RGS frens... and postulated some likely reasons (not ranked in order though)
1) a lot of guys out there cannot make it. or put it in a nicer way, maybe we have too high expectations. ;P
2) girls we hang out with are from biased sample. quite right to say many of us are conservative folks who prefer to get to know ppl better first instead of immediately diving into relationships. but how often do you get the chance to really do that. (and like-minded ppl are gradually disappearing...) on the other hand, if u're the clubbing and partying sort, maybe diff story?
3) choice.... so often affections are asymmetric. sad but guess hard fact of life.
but nothing conclusive derived from discussion, mere casual banter.
aiyah but life is so unpredictable maybe the next time i see them they'll be giving me wedding invitations =P then again, recently been wondering why ppl hav to get married. why is it so wired into the brains of our parents... even many of our peers...even myself...and if u come to think of it, marriage is such a huge commercial ploy... ppl willing to spend tonnes on wedding, cos what it's "zhong1 sheng1 da4 shi4". and marriage always gets romanticised by relevant businesses; even media perpetuates possible myth. u hav ur classic nice happy bride in white gown looking really xing fu, deceiving innocent girls who then grow up with image in minds. then some ppl never think properly, once reach marriagable age then think of getting married. or we somehow automatically think we ought to get married some day...doesn't that sound scary. we've all been brainwashed in some way.... haha hmm... oops i think i suddenly made something supposedly so lang man sound like a huge plot. mmm.. unintended lah. just rambling =P
