the weekend just started and it went off with a bang. i decided to take up my friends offer to go to espanda for drinks and although i initially had doubts about the venue..it turned out to be pretty ok. the venue still wasn't good but my friends sure know how to have fun despite the inconsistent music and the lack of a crowd. drinks were spilled...half digested food was spewed...pictures were taken....it was all fun and games which is what made the night better than it would've been.anyway...as with any night that includes alcohol...there was the regular chat session. guys would talk about girls and girls would talk about girls as well. funny how girls rarely talk about the opposite sex...or is it just me? i'm a girl but i spend more time looking at girls and talking about them. even so..i'm still very confident about my sexuality. like i was saying...we had the regular chat and the subject of single-dom came up.
i've said before that there are two different kinds of single people. those that are single by choice...and those that are single because they have to be. i'd like to believe that i'm single by choice but the fact that i'm in singapore makes a big difference when it comes to relationships. by being 400km away from home it makes it really difficult to even consider being in a relationship...hence i am single because i have to be. but even so...many people have told me that there is always the option of long distance. i personally never believed in long distance. don't ask me why...my rhymes and reasons usually don't make sense to the general public.
regardless of whether i am 400km away or not...the fact still remains that i have no candidates lined up. some might say that i hold very high expectations (which means i am picky)...others might say that i repel men with my bitchy attitude. i personally believe that it's a combination of a whole lot of things. i'm not afraid to admit that i'm not the best looking house on the block. i am nowhere near the best looking house on the block. i definitely have high expectations and the fact that i am anti-social does not help. i like to filter out the people whom i choose not to mix with. i am very judgemental and i can't stand ignorance. all in all...my attitude and my expectations makes it almost impossible for me to meet anyone new or even consider meeting anyone new.
hence i have come to the conclusion that the person that i marry (yes...i hesitate to use that word but it's the only one that i can come up with) might just be someone i already know. i've always believed that intimate relationships are created out of very deep friendships. what's better than being able to spend the rest of your life with your best friend? but that's just my opinion.
anyway...here are some fun facts for today:
- in tokyo...a bicycle is faster than a car for most trips of less than 50 minutes.
- the sanskrit word for war translates to "desire for more cows."
- there are no clocks in las vegas gambling casinos
- there are three sets of letters on the standard typewriter and computer keyboards which are in alphabetical order...reading left to right...they are f-g-h...j-k-l and o-p.
- the average adult eye ball weighs about one ounce
- the sound heard by a listener when holding a seashell to his ear does not come from the shell itself...it is the echo of the blood pulsing in the listener's own ear.
- the king of hearts in a deck of cards is the only king that does not have a moustache
