lately i have been mixing with people out of my usual social circle and i have gained a whole new world of experience i never used to have because of my sheltered life. these people are what we label the bad boys and girls in yesteryears. but in today’s era, they are pretty much the kind of people that will survive any societal revolutions because they are more street smart and adaptable to change.
i’ve learnt and understood alot of things from mixing with them. most importantly the dynamics of my past relationships in general.

i always thought people in a relationships truly and madly love each other. but really that isn’t the case. its more about emotional security and commitment to one another. u don’t necessary have to love each other deep deep or with a burning passion. all you need is to commit to caring for each other and integrating into each other’s life in order to achieve a happy r/s.
girls my age are also more for dating than settling for one guy. we 2 time 3 time 4 time without guilt cos its like shopping. u need to find the right fit before u make a purchase. these r clever girls. i must learn to be smarter. i guess i was too devoted in my past r/s when i should have been more playful. he must have thought i would be playful hence he selected me perhaps cos he wanted to play around too. sigh i should have known and been more suave and not wear my heart on my sleeve.
alot of the girls i mix with now are young and married. perhaps that’s why divorce rates r going up no? but they shop more than girls in the past shouldn’t they make a better choice? hmm i guess that’s what affluence does to you huh… makes u want only the best and unsatisfied with the rest.
i’ve also gained a deeper insight into the ‘underbelly’ of ‘man-hunting’. its funny really but being stationed where i am, i get to see alot of people passing by. men women children local foreign ugly handsome tall short fat skinny. basically ALL kinds of people. i like to study them like subjects – observing the stuff they are browsing through, the things they say, the people they are with, the clothes they wear, the bags they carry. i really enjoy it.
im glad to be at a place i like being in. im glad to have a variety of eye candy around to feast my eyes upon. i have learnt to live for the moment rather than in anticipation of the future cos really nothing lasts forever and people always disappoint. the only person that can live up to my expectations is myself cos if i aim for something i will do my best to achieve it. unlike some people who never fail to disappoint.
when it comes to love, i no longer feel the stabbing pity of loss. i guess this means i am really over him. but can u really be over? my thoughts do return to our memories once ever so often. when i see couples locked in a tight embrace i feel like im part of the loving moment. for that split second i can feel myself in the arms of my loved one and loving back with a ferocious intensity and it makes me happy. it makes me contented. it makes me satisfied. n the split second is gone in the blink of an eye. welcome back to reality.
