have you ever gotten angry or upset or disappointed or frustrated at a love one because of what other people think?
upset at him coz he does not have a job, or not earning as much as you, or wants to be a house husband and take care of the kids, or business is not doing too well... even though he has been an extremely loving and caring partner otherwise... just coz it's expected (especially in asian society) that the man takes care of the lady?
upset at her for not bearing a child or a son, even though she wants to as much as you do, or even if you know for a fact that your chromosomes determine the gender, and even though she has been a wonderful wife otherwise... just coz your whole family expected her to do so?
disappointed at her for not having the 38-24-38 vital stats when you are good looking although you totally enjoyed her company just coz society expects a good looking guy to have a good looking girlfriend?
frustrated at yourself for not having a partner although you are having the time of your life being my yourself or just being with your friends just coz the whole wide world thinks you should have a partner in order to be "complete"? (dun worry... i'm dun feel it yet)
isn't it sad sometimes, how we would not be happy just coz other people expect us to not be happy? isn't it tiring how we sometimes try to prove to the whole wide world that we are really happy when everybody else thinks we are not? can we just say f*** everybody else, it does not matter what they think as long as we are happy? what if these "everybody else" we are important as well?

I guess those lucky ones will easily find someone they love and lived happily ever after like a match made in heaven...somehow i always believe there's someone for everyone out there and it's the matter of time when you can look out for this particular person. I rather be with the right person and the right time than the being with right person at the wrong time or wrong person at the right time...what do you think? As to me,recuperating and healing the broken heart from a relationship takes a longer time compares to falling in love...Now....as long as i'm happy i don't care what others think or feel...gotta be selfish sometimes...

In my opinion, only the strongest could afford to choose not only not to conform but also not bothered by what the society percieve as the 'norm'. Who says the norm is always for the best anyway? As long as you are truly happy, that is what matters most.
May Li,
havent heard from you since TL's wedding. Am seriouslah, when you back in KL, drop me a line, can go yam cha . ok?
well said may li!!!!
Can we live our lifes without considering what other people think?
Unless and until we live like hermits, away from each other, to some measures, there's always a need to be accepted.
But never ever fault a loved one, for others. Where's the loyalty? What happened to "thru good times and bad?"
and if the loved one is the reason for non acceptance by society?? i think that's the question...there is a choice to be made, no?
