Perfect man?

So many people are getting married left right centre, Made me wonder whether has everyone found their MR Right or their perfect man??? And that's why they are getting married? Or is it because age is catching up, women end up settling? Hey, I mean no one wants to be the "Spinster" lady, right? How many are getting married because they truly will do anything and everything, will go thru thick and thin, in sickness and in health, till death do u part??

This CNY, as with the last few ones, kept getting asked or told to get married =p like its the one thing in life that MUST be done. Well, too bad cos i'm not gonna settle just for the sake of settling. Hey, marriage is for a lifetime. No play play, no rehearsals, no dun like can press RESET button!! So heck I'm taking my time to know myself first before knowing what or who I want to spend the rest of my life with. I've known too many couples who just get married and then end up hating each other. Separated. Divorced.

I'm sure every couple who gets married are like totally in love and would think wonderful things about each other, and gushing & giggling down the aisle.... but somehow i really dun want that. I don't want to be in a relationship that is just sugar and fluff. And you're just happy happy all the time. Never fight. Everything is rosy. I know this might sound bitter or sad, but i want someone that i can fight with, someone that will get angry with me, someone that will have a yelling match with me. Spending a lifetime together is a long long time, how long can rosy, fluffy ad sugary last??

My Perfect Man has got to be as flawed as I am. As sarcastic as I am. As stubborn as I am (if not how to make it last..hehe). Don't want no "yes" man. Need someone that respects my thoughts and my opinions, but doesn't compromise his own. Need a man not scared of showing his soft side and yet protect me with his strength and bravery. But most importantly i need someone who will fear God.

This "Perfect Man" exist? I'm sure he does. Actually I know he does ;)

Past Love....

I attended my ex-bf's wedding the other day...and so many people were amazed, shocked that i would or can do such a thing. What's the big deal? Hmmmmm.... i think other ppl were more uncomfortable with the idea than me actually going there and sitting thru the whole thing ... haha

I wondered - why the discomfort? I believe that loving someone doesn't stop just because the "romantic" relationship has ended. You can love someone as a friend, as someone who has shared your life in the past... I really wish my ex-bf all the best in his life and that his marriage would be all that he wishes for.

But really, does love just end because your relationship has ended? I would hope that my heart is big enough to continue loving someone even though we're no longer together. I think the love just changes to another type of love. A love for someone that knows you and has shared a season of your life together with you. Well that's what I hope.

Heard a lovely song of love lost, past love... somehow the lyrics really touched me...especially the first two lines... makes me remember ;) .... the song is :

Always On Your Side - Sheryl Crow & Sting My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away But every now and then you come to mind Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game But when your name was called, you found a place to hide When you knew that I was always on your side Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent But my demons and my angels reappeared Leavin' only traces of the man you thought I'd be Too afraid to hear the words I'd always feared Leavin' you with only questions all these years Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally This isn't how it's really meant to be No, it isn't how it's really meant to be Well they say that love is in the air, but never is it clear, How to pull it close and make it stay Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away And I'm left to carry on and wonder why Even through it all, I'm always on your side Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally Is this how its really meant to be? no, this isn't how its really meant to be Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear How to pull it close and make it stay Butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away, Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why Was it you that kept me wandering through this life When you know that I was always on your side?

Used to be in school, it seemed like the year was taking forever to pass... u just couldn't wait for when u were 12, when ur 16, 18, 21.... then suddenly, wham bam, you're 28!! Like wooooaaaahhhhhh, what happenedd??!! Now everyone is getting married, having kids...moving away, starting their own business, and its like everyone is racing ahead. Something to race after, a dream, And little old me here just wants some free and relaxing time to Slooooooooooooowly enjoy life. What's the whole rush people???!! I know la, life is short... but no one told me life accelerates after 26! There's just too much to do, too little time. Everyone wants ur time, everything is deadlines and meetings are endless & time consuming ..... Sigh.

The world is moving too fast for me...and I dun want to turn 30 so soon =p
