Single Vs. Taken

in case ur wondering y i can suddenly post a blog entry in d middle of d day in d middle of d week...its not cz im using working hours to do this...i jst so happen to have woken up with a bad bout of diarrhea...n hence i did not go to work...obviously...

so my completely and utterly random topic for today is singlehood vs being in a relationship...yes...im aware that is not the exact topic...but u get my drift...:P

y did i suddenly think of this?well...its been nagging at me for quite sum time...its no secret that i'm single n available....its also no secret that i have tried for a few girls from various races n failed miserably...but its also no secret that i was in a beautiful relationship for 2 1/2 years that ended due to my dads intervention....

now i'm single...n i'm happy being single...really...i m...i have a great time...i go to work..i come home...i chill...on d weekends i go out with my mates for sum pool n drinks...i hang out with my sis n housemate in shopping malls n stuff like dat...its great...its pure independence...i can say wut i want n do wut i want how i want n when i want...cz lets face it...there isnt another person that i have to think abt thats gonna be worried abt me or anything like dat...its beautiful...

now to d bad side...jst cz i'm single...doesnt mean the people arnd me are all single as well...a few of them have their significant other...their boyfriends and their girlfriends...n i see them...n at times it kinda sucks...cz well...they're all lovey dovey n all dat shit n im there n i cant really run anywhere anyway...but it does make me think sumtimes...how much i really do miss that companionship...n being in a relationship...

being in a relationship i assure u...is blissful...seriously...the companionship u get from that one significant other is amazing...its jst having this one person that well...understands u...n accepts u...n no matter how bad things get...they'll always be there right by ur side...n they'll always noe exactly the right thing to say at exactly the right time to lift ur spirits up even when ur at d lowest point in ur life....

but...it comes at a price...1stly...u dun have dat independence anymore...everything u do...everything u say....u have to remember that ur not the only one that will have to face the consequences...ur significant other will oso have to face the consequences...which ends up impairing d ability to do all the crazy shit u can n most probably will do while ur single...

the other price is the most dreadful...n this ur mates will pay....not u...n i've noticed it with all my mates...things change 180 degrees once they r in a relationship...i don't see them as often anymore...they r always with their girlfriends...n i dunno if its them or if its the girlfriend tying a rope around their necks...but its jst sad...more often than not when u call them out their replies are standard..."cant lah...going to gf place"..."cant lah...out with gf now"..."cant lah...ade made plans with her"...or.."too tired lah...jst came bk from her place"....u get d picture rite?

so which begs the question...me being happy abt my singlehood now n all...if the rite girl came along...would i really wanna get into a relationship with her?would i in turn end up like my mates now are with a collar arnd their necks?or does it depend on d girl?

of course...in the end...no one can actually answer my questions...d single ones are gonna tell me how great it is to be single...n d taken ones are gonna tell me how great it is to be in a relationship...which kinda doesnt help at all...lol
