La vie est Belle <>

Worlds apart.

I've never been in a long distance relationship before, thus this is a really foreign territory to me.
And I can't help but to wonder, how do couples maintain their love?

Granted, I don't have that many friends who have/had LDR.
And thus my knowledge of it through hearsay is not very plentiful. But one thing I know for sure though, it is TOUGH.

Saw something today and this just got me thinking.
I am so fortunate to not have this extra baggage to bring over with me.
At least I know I'm not giving myself a chance to screw up the other person (and vice versa).

Ever heard of how some couples adopt the "I'm ok with you seeing someone else" mantra?
Seriously, how do they manage to do it?
I'm sure there's a jealous bug in everyone. And I guess this boils down to TRUST?
It is ok to see someone else, but not ok to fall for that someone else.
Sounds like "It is ok to cheat physically, but not ok to cheat emotionally" to me.

Goodness!
I really do wonder how this whole hocus pocus goes.

And why am I talking about this?
Cos I was reading someone's blog and he commented that "long-distance relationships almost never ever end well. pessimist. yeap. but realist upon closer inspection."
And as I mentioned earlier that I saw something today. Let's just leave it at, me seeing a friend holding hands with someone else, and for a fact that I know my friend has another half back in Singapore. Adding this and that together, you should get the gist of it.
(FYI, I would have NEVER thought my friend will do something like that. But then again, what do I know? Nothing!)

Oh well, shall not crack my skull over it anymore.
It'll just be another mystery which might never be solved in my lifetime.
But one thing for sure, I'm glad I don't have this extra responsibility.

Singleton is great.
You get to ogle around as and when you like, you get to have mini crushes on anyone you fancy (and it's morally legal!), and not to mention date hopping & keeping your options open.

And with this in mind, my dear friends, I might have to disappoint you people with the possible fact that I might not be bringing back an "ang-moh" boyfriend.

But then again, who knows what will happen?
Maybe I'll meet a Seth Cohen look-alike tomorrow and anything goes from there.
Hahaha!

All about

Jack (or is it Jane?) of all trades,
(almost!)

but Master of none.
(trying to!)

This is my paradise, where I indulge my senses grandiloquently.

A collective effort to keep family & friends updated, and for random strangers to pop by.

I wanted to put a HUGE picture of myself in this space, but being the technologically challenged person that I am, I can't figure out the mojo of it.

So I guess I'll just have to make do with scattering loads of random self-shots all over the blog!
