My Single Story

Yes, I am already 21 and still single! Why, am I telling you this, you may ask. Because I get loads of people asking me when am I going to get a boyfriend! Hello? Boyfriends don’t just drop from heaven okay?!! Hmm… maybe they will if I pray a lot. Hehe. I get it from my friends... I even get it from my grandma! Can you imagine that?! Someone, who I think of as a traditional and old-fashioned thinking lady asking me, a supposedly hip and modern girl, when she is going to get a boyfriend! Ahh!! Let me tell you what she said.

Grandma : Yar yat sui lo! (You’re 21 already!) Zhong mei wan dou korkor zai ah? (Still haven’t found a bf yet?)

Me : Ha?!! ……

What is this??? Ha! I was talking with a few of my friends last Friday. Some of us are still single. So I told them my analogy of why we were still single.

Each girl has her own destined knight in shining armour (I know, too many fairytales :P). The knights in shining armours are most probably lost in a dense and thick forest in a secluded place somewhere out of this world. Before each knight can reach his destined girl, he will have to fight through thorn bushes, thick vines and wild animals (remember the Sleeping Princess story?) to get out of the jungle/forest. Each knight will only belong to one girl, thus each knight has his own route to plough through. (No sharing brains and brawns here…)
This part was added by my friend.
As the knights fight their way through, they are getting tired and some begin to give up. They sit down to rest, then they turn sideways and see each other… they fall in love! And that is why, there so many gays in this world…

Perhaps my knight is still lost somewhere out there too... But, he is definitely NOT going to be gay!!

Note of disclaimer: The above is merely an analogy, a story. Not to be taken seriously and as the truth. No offense meant.

I am single and I am not ashamed about it. Period.

To Mr. KT

This post is written in honour of (no, scratch that), is written with the objective to give someone a piece of my mind. (Want my cerebrum or medulla oblongata?) Firstly, this person complained that I did not update my blog often enough. Then he said, "Kenny Sia updates everyday." Yeah right, it's not everyday la Tai Kor! And why compare me to him? I'm so tiny and puny in the blogsphere. Heh. Anyway, I'm super busy and super tired and has had no inspiration whatsoever to blog about anything till today. (Thanks to somebody...) Before I go into the second part, for all those who have yet to hear about it, (it's been publicized in her FB), my sister, Eileen is now formally engaged to her sweetheart of six, seven years. Congrats to my dear dear sister. Finally, eh? Hahah. The second part is related to this. Not referring to my sis, but me. Our good friend who complained that I don't update often, had the gall/balls (Grr...) to 'insult' me. When I sh...

Of Vampires and Werewolves

I've never really been an ardent fan of the Twilight series(boo...says you). And I have no idea why some girls go gaga over Edward the vampire. He looks so paste-y with the bloodshot eyes (yea yea he's supposed to look that way). And bleah! I think he looked way hotter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory . That, I can go gaga. But in Twilight??? The romance between Edward and Bella is fine. Romantic, mushy and cliched. Heh. But there's nothing much for me to shout about. (Sorry to the ardent fans, esp to my three sisters. Ha.) This year, the next sequel in this series is about to be released tentatively in November. Known as New Moon , the title is definitely appropriate since the werewolves play a bigger role this time. I didn't read any of the books in the Twilight series though my sisters finished the whole lot of it. So there's no doubt I have no idea of what's going on in the next book. But judging from this trailer of the next sequ...

My Future???

After thinking for a while, (ok, not a while but many whiles) I have finally decided what to do after I graduate (hopefully) in May this year. I have narrowed it down to two options. Sigh. Either I continue my studies and proceed wtih Masters (God, help me..) or I apply for this work and travel thing to US for six months. Will see how it goes... see which comes first. If it's the latter, I'd most probably miss my Convocation. If the former is first, the latter will no longer be on my list. We'll see we'll see. :) P/S: Applying for masters has nothing to do with what the government has allocated to help the economy.
