Good going, wind. Thank you for blowing the dreaded pollution from the hot spots over to our little island. Thank you. For my sore throat and cold.
I jotted this down before assembly. This silly yet common scenario...
*Pardon my sarcasm and singlish! It..builds the..atmosphere?
***Three stars mean that I'm about to do a plain ol' logic check.OW.
Scenario: A guy ( A ) is helping his good friend ( B ) to ask out a girl. ( C )
Usually, when a guy expresses his 'love' for someone and is feeling all (aww) confused and whatnot, he can always rely on his friends for HELP! They will go: Never mind lah. I will help you. Sure can one.
And A would walk over, as cocky as a rooster. C refuses, and expresses her disinterest.
A starts to sweat. Suddenly this task isn't as easy after all... But still, he perserveres. How can he let his good buddy down?
Out of desperation, A says: Please leh.. B has been infatuated with you since...._________.
***Puh-lease. SO?! WHY should C accept B ? Its not like she asked him to fall for her, right?? WHY must C pay for B's mistake?? B made a choice. He must not make others compromise to fit his choice. Duh. Its a C H O I C E. Not F A T E. Load of bull, I tell you. When a guy falls for a girl. The girl doesn't like him, but he persists. NO means NO ok? You mean one day she will wake up and say: OH, I suddenly LOVE you! That would only happen if you struck the Big Sweep Lottery the previous day. Its even worse when the guy tries to push away the fact that he is stubborn by blaming it on... TADA! Uncontrollable circumstances. "It must be heaven telling me that our hearts are entwined." HAHAHA. Let me laugh in your face. If you are a stubborn old mule, then just admit it. Love is a choice, not something forced onto you, or something that "you cannot help." Don't play the victim. You'll just come off as ANNOYING, STUBBORN, and DESPERATE. All of which are EXTREMELY undesirable qualities for any living creature.
Ok. Back to the story. A is fighting a losing battle. ( Trust me, when a girl says she is not interested, she ISN'T. ) C is getting nervous now. "Why so long ar?" he wonders. A tries again. He emphasises on B's infatuation with C.
***Can you force love? NO, my friend. Forced love=Buying a foreign wife. B should go shopping in a third world nation.
C, of course... says NO!! Now, A walks back to B, feeling incredibly like a failure. But NO! Didn't he boast about asking C out to be an easy task? He must not lose face. So he tells B : She needs more time lah. Sure can one.No prob man!
Now, A is a smart person. He befriends C. Gets her number, msn, e-mail. So he can send her those "Someone is thinking of you , like, NOW!" sorta e-mail. And because girls are such nice creatures, even if we dislike a person, we treat them like they are our acquaintance. Neutral. And A tries to ask C again.
C refuses again.
***I absolutely cannot stand people who befriend their crushes' friends/ relatives/family JUST to snoop around, or to "build friendships." Most of the time, though, its to USE them as a messenger. You know, to pass bo-liao messages. "He asks you what time you'll be on msn today" I'm not assuming that all such friendships are FAKE. But the person set out with the mindset to find a messenger. If along the way, he likes his messenger, then FINE. They shall be friends! (See, I'm not that mean.) These people are snivelling little weasels.
At the end of the day, C still refuses. WHAT did I tell you huh? Love cannot be forced.
And if you are a guy, and you happen to be using one of the above moves, DON'T THINK GIRLS ARE BLIND OK?! We see all this. And we poke fun at you. Why? Because, in our eyes, a guy has to know what is NO. If you having been following the Channel 8 9pm Lawyer series, you should know it very well. Persistence usually never pays off in one-sided relationships. And rejection usually occurs when you're not of the other person's calibre. (You're not of acceptable standard, hello!) I strongly suggest that you should look for someone your own standard. To prevent any heartache. (See, I'm not that cruel.)
Oks. Time to study. Think over what I say. They are, trust me, words of wisdom. Even if you court an uninterested girl for 10 years, give her beautiful flowers, etc. Let me ask you: Will she, on one fine day, say this: Thank you for buying me flowers all these years!! Sorry for ignoring you all these years!! I suddenly love you!! lets marry!!!
Well, don't be deluded. that's never gonna happen.
My handphone bill is running high, I don't have free messages ( hear hear!) So if you're gonna ask me non-urgent stuff, tag.Thank you and have a fantastic day ahead.Or night.Whatever. (Best friends and church matters are exceptions)
