sans titre

the night before your big wedding ceremony, we were in your bed, talking nonsense, trying to take your mind off the following day...

i asked, out of curiosity/seeking your sympathy, "so, now that you're tying the knot, what if i will never find my better half."

then you said the sweetest thing, "darl, so what if you can't find him, you're a complete piece already. you don't need a better half."

then i rolled over to the other side, feeling tears dripping down.

congratulations hun, you now are a complete piece too.

As to whether you are in fact a complete piece, no one other than yourself knows the answer.....

But do your best and try your best, regardless.

JLS: you're always so supportive! thanks! :) 謀事在人,成事在天。i shall be positive and look at the bright side of things.

ur friend is so sweet.. i will be most satisfied if i hv a gp of friends that could give me happiness, all along when i get old when my face crinkles or teeth drop off. if it is accompany-ship that counts, does it matter whether it comes from male or female?

c.r said...

thanks. :)
but as i grow older, my circle of friends gets smaller and smaller. and as they get married off one by one, i tend to lose them as well.

soon enough, they'll be talking about their kids and where to send them for schooling etc... it'd be quite hard to still be very close with them unless we've bonded since little.

quite true. actually quite a number of my colleagues are hving their 2nd (!) child. and it is quite natural for them to hang out/converse with each other.

on the other hand there is a burgeoning rank of women who remain single.

i dunno how to handle this. or like many life issues, it doesn't need to be "handled", in the literal sense. u just accept it. perhaps single women in 40/50's, who hv come that way, may shed some light for us (hey is there somebody around? )

it's shocking how one of my old classmate's son will be starting school this september (screaming in head).

and most of the people i know, but do not hang out with are getting married. XDDD (losers)

among my own friends, very few of them have made this far yet. i guess we are birds of the same feather.

sometimes i wonder, if a relationship comes, it should hv come already. so guess there is some problem with my personality, or priority or pre-occupations/concerns (well to console myself). In reflection it is quite true. so 隨遇而安啦。 at least i got a stable job supposed to last until i retire ... at least it wipes off some of my anxiety..given i am a timid psn..hahaha

c.r said...

:D

u know, lots of ppl would kill to have a stable job!!! so lucky you!

and to think on the bright side, if the relationship brings only bad memories, i'd rather not to be in it... what good does it do to me?

smile more, it makes you more attractive too. :)

g said...

yea..perhaps much of the woes of the singles is that they tend to look the rosy side and fail to realise how marriage/child-reaing is like in reality.

smile more? thanks. but to be honest, i am quite a pessimist who gets bored with things easily... xD

g said...

child-rearing, should be.

c.r said...

well, i need to smile more too. cos i'm always poker-faced which makes me a wee bit more scary than i actually am.

i used to be oh-so-bubbly. ppl love happier ppl. i need to be happier!! so maybe you can give it a go as well? :)
