To give those new-readers (what are you, outdated?!) a short summary of the post; I talked about why my holidays aren't so fruitful after the O Levels especially since most of the Secondary 4s have nothing better to do at home, and attributed this "un-fruitful-ness" to my lack of a girlfriend.
Apparently it has drawn much attention (see: Yane) to my blog and many viewers had loads to say. But to much of my concern, Yane has decided to launch a blog war against my post on 30th November; which I of course politely declined in his blog.
In essence, he argued his case rather solidly, and I applaud his efforts. He has gone to much extent to argue about the joy experienced in "singlehood-edness" (sorry, I just had to invent that word; it was just too tempting) and that singlehood will never be the same as "being attached" as he put it.
Instead of rebuttals and whatnots; I have decided to build my case upon his judgement and analysis.
Indeed, singlehood-edness is just a mentality, a mental state of the mind. Imagine, it's just one step forward (two steps back?) that changes everything. Either you are attached, or you are not. All it takes is just initiative. But whether you decide to be single or not (and point to note: when you get attached, you'll really have a hard time getting out of it if you want/need/have to; so i advise you to choose and judge properly), the decision really takes the cake.
So I was at my cousin's void deck two days ago, and I saw the sweetest thing. A couple, a boy and a girl, were working together, bring stuff to and fro. Well of course, not that I'm condoning such behaviour, of two very young kids having a relationship with each other. But hey! I really do not know (it's only my own judgement) whether they are a couple or not. Who knows, they may be siblings. ^^
Well all I have to say here is, being single is really one thing, and yes I agree with Yane that it may not be the saddest thing on the face of the Earth, and it really depends on you to make it fruitful and all happy and joyful (CHRISTMAS IS COMING!); because being single means you only lack one thing, being attached. And you don't lose too much either, 'cos you still have your friends, family and other loved ones to give you all the "lurrvee" that you need.
But being attached doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing either; because really you begin to taste a whole new perspective of life, and really you learn how to care more for other people through your partner, and it helps you to look out for others more, become more observant, etc etc. The list goes on and I shall not elaborate.
In short, being attached, or being single, it is really your choice, and this decision may affect your life much; but it is really up to you because you can change this effect, and it is up to you to create the effect you want.
I really don't want to dwell on the Nov 30th post any longer, it being a very disastrous talking point.
I have been away however, for three whole days, and this was due to the demise of my grandmother. So I have been spending nights away from home, so it was pretty tiring. Some pictures of the last few days can be found here: click
The crystal jade photos are courtesy of my sister; we took a few of the dishes there and we tried to take a picture of -cough-julianhee-cough- but failed miserably because most probably, he noticed our funny antics. My sister lah, kept making me laugh so crazily.
Then the dogs are in my cousin's house; and they are such beauties! Elle is my personal fave, because she is more comfortable to people, rather than Muffin, because she's very frightened of people. How interesting dogs are. ((:
So I've heard from auditions that it was quite okay and stuff, and a few selections have been made, some drastic measures have been taken and the next practice will be on Friday as well as Saturday.
People, I'm flying on Saturday so please wait for more photos (I think I'll have to create two Flickr accounts :D JUST KIDDING, FLICKR'S MANAGER! =/ )
Until I return to Singapore, you shall not hear from me anymore.
Treat this as a bon voyage post.
