Rejection, Doing It Right.

I found the following entry while I was blog-surfing. Apology to the original author if you find this entry offensive. My comments isn't to criticise your reaction but to offer an opinion from a guy's perspective. Your reaction is totally understandable...

"i cannot zzz cos i m damn irritated now ...

is there anything so urgent tat you need to send me 5 smses within 10 min??? n keep calling every hr?? if i miss a call i will return when i see it .. but if u repeatedly call so many times n i dun even bother to return a single call .. pls be clever enuff to noe tat i probably dun wish to speak to u .. pls STOP calling me and checking my whereabout ... cos who r u to interfere ... i dun even report to my parent .. let alone u being a very normal frenz .. n stop pestering me to go out wif u ... I WILL NEVER EVER AGREE EVEN WHEN I M FREE ..

maybe u din noe tat u r really PISSING ME OFF... dun force me up the wall one day n say those harsh words to u .."

From the looks of it, the story goes that a guy liked this girl, and she did not like him. He seemed to be a nightmare, smothering her with 5 smses within 10 mins and calling every hour. I am sure many girls have experienced this before.

I ain't sure if he was an irritating snob, or sloppy geek, or someone who totally irritated her everyday and turned her off. If it was just the case of no chemistry between them, and she was 'ok' with his looks, she could had given him a chance. How often does "Love at First Sight" happens? In fact, to build serious relationship and to understand one's character well, it requires time and effort.

If she was not 'ok' with his looks or absolutely hated him, she could have at least spared some thoughts him, to let him down gently. There is really no fault in liking someone and caring for someone. He was probably worried about her when she did not reply or pick up his calls. SMSes are meant to be short. So maybe he had sent a few short messages on impulse, and had more to say to her.

Besides, I think that friends can hang out too, alone or in group. In fact, going out with someone for dinner, movie, shopping, doesn't mean she is supposed to be interested in him. Hey, this is the 21st century dudette!

I think the more hostile she is towards him, the harder he will try. Someone will get hurt. 被爱是幸福的,单恋是痛苦的。 Rejections, like breakups, are never easy. It will be good if she can appreciate his feelings and give him a proper closure every tho' they had never started. Afterall, his infatuation must had started long time ago. Be his friend, let him move on. It is always better to have one more good friend, than another enemy.

Girls are difficult to understand, and girls don't really understand guys most of the time.

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Twelve.

It is becoming a tradition. This is the fourth time for me. This year, two new companions joined me for this journey in the last 24 hours of 2012. As usual, is only for a few hours in the afternoon. But I like the sound of it, "last 24 hours".  It started out in 2008 for me, a ala    Eye é City . For the record, it was another rainy new year's eve. We started our journey at Thian Hock Keng, Amoy Street and ended at Raffles City Shopping Centre. It was interesting for me as it was my first time to Thian Hock Keng. This year, instead of posting the photos here, I have uploaded them to my Flickr account . The photos look better there as I don't have to reduce the size of the photos for this blog. I will re-edit the past photos and upload them as well when I am free. Who will join me next year? You can sign up now!
