quote me.

during lunch at canteen 2 yesterday, sarah, huixin, yixin and i had a very scintillating conversation about guys/men in general. the kind of guys/men we find attractive and the kind we would want to end up marrying. the singular consensus was that in spite of the smouldering exotic good looks, broad shoulders, melting smiles and deep beautiful eyes of the foreign male species, we would rather marry asians.

im not taking anything away from foreign males, let me emphasise on that. i've seen and heard of many who put all those in hollywood and elsewhere to shame. but why foreigners for eyecandy and locals for marriage?

it was rather surprising to realise that for all the modernity and evolution in generation we purport to possess, ultimately we're still very much old-school. traditions and values are the biggie. im pretty sure not everyone feels this way, so maybe it's simply the four of us.

this got me thinking about why i haven't seen the need to have a boyfriend. i may sound like a hopeless romantic, but i honestly believe that you don't have to go around finding one 'cos the right one will come to you eventually (with a little iniative haha). sure, everywhere i go, i have one/more eyecandy, but that's all it is. i don't know. maybe im waiting for someone to among other things, simply sweep me off my feet; give me a reason to do what i do everyday, and above all to love me for who i am - flaws and all.

"I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad / Carry you around when your arthritis is bad / All I wanna do is grow old with you. / I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches / build you a fire if the furnace breaks / Oh it could be so nice, growin old with you. / I'll miss you, kiss you, give you my coat when you are cold. / Need you, feed you, I'll even let you hold the remote control. / So let me do the dishes in the kitchen sink / Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink. / Oh I could be the man to grow old with you. / I wanna grow old with you" - robbie, the wedding singer
