At The End Of The Day.
*Text from Claire’s Blog
My take on singledom? i love it, who doesn’t? okay, hold. i guess what i mean by that is i love the perks that come along with singledom. i don’t answer to any specific guy, i’m free to hang out with all three of them: tom, dick and harry and still, no one gives two hoots and no one has sole propriety of me. i am my own person and i don’t feel like 24/7 of my time has to be devoted to that special someone. and of course there is still the fact that ‘the grass is greener on the other side’ saying can actually be applied, and not just said.
for once, you can actually cross over the fence and explore other greener grass, instead of just peering over but never actually making a move. it’s the novelty of meeting new people, experiencing new stuff with the unfamiliar, taking a step into the unexplored, and basically, that thrill makes it more exhilarating than the familiarity of a status quo that binds you down.
and then again, it is always easy to tell my bitch “girl, you don’t need a man” but when you are all alone and you see everyone and anyone holding hands and cuddling up and all you have is you, yourself and you, i guess your advice no longer comes in handy anymore. coincidentally, like awfully bad luck, whenever you fall out of a relationship, it seems to be hook-up season for everyone else around, and the people you’d thought you could count on to have fun and live singledom with seem to have left for the couples club.
and this feeling is once again imminent with vday drawing closer and closer. just like how you’re not tied to a specific someone, there is also no specific person you can turn to when you’re down and out, that person who will catch you when you fall, simply because you don’t fulfil any oblidgations, and therefore, cannot expect to get any in return. and how can i forget? who’s there to give you hugs, kisses and a little something more when you’re on a hormonal overdrive? (this isn’t a big reason la haha)
judging that “paragraph two” is longer than the first, that’s the reason why i can’t stay single for long, and why being in a relationship > singlehood. lol, so all you single people can stop lying and deluding yourself that single is better. because deep down, we all know it isn’t. :)
Agreed?
yupz yupz..
I have to agree to this whole entry!
But no rush, just take all the time in the
world to find the MR/MS RIGHT for those
who are still single and available.
No rush in this matter..
:)
True to that! Btw, great that your meet the in law sessions went smoothly hun!
Actually if ur partner is a wonderful one, u’ll nvr thk abt missing being single.
Get wat i mean?
If u’re already thinking of missing being single, it means that ur partner is not working hard enough.
Eh betul jugak eh kau cakap? hahahaha… then I think many many many of couples I know have to buck up :P
What a post… Totally hit the spot.
Well, there are some who when attached, yearn to be single. While those single, yearn to be attached. Like wtf. But point is, you gotta work hard for a relationship to work, or you’ll find yourself with someone who can never please you.
Anw, Happy New Year Faddy!
True to that! Hope you’re doing fine with Mai! :) Happy new year to you too bro. kwa kwa`
i dont noe why but the last paragraph of this post sounds funny..hahaha..quite true!
wassofani? haha…
Singlehood IS better lah. Really. I hate being in a relationship. I mean, look at all the trouble that I had to go through… I’d rather be all by myself. Plus, I have more time to myself. Isn’t that good? I can do so many things and whatever I want without needing to think about my partner or reporting it to her.
Damn I’m lying lah. Really.
You know, i was reading your comment and I saw the “lying” as “dying” and had to re-read the comment thrice before I finally saw it hahhaha…
Maybe for the moment being single is good!! Good wad!! Easy!! But it wont be long la kn!! Hehe!! Bt when u in rship, at times want to be single. Ppl nwadays.. Ch3.. Hehe!!
Haha a rising trend, perhaps?
the term ‘bujang belapok’ gets new found meaning every year for me :p
haha awak too picky kot?
hey there. I stumbled upon your blog a few weeks before and have been an avid reader since. love your entries! annnnd I just realized that we share the same name! hahahas. anyway keep up the great entries. =) take care aite. toodles.
p/s your boyfriend is my unimate’s cousin! I guess its a small world after all. lol.
U mean este?? Small world indeed. Or maybe Singapore is just too small.. Haha cheers!
kpo je bie kekeke :P
Aww thanks :) Anyway, that makes ANOTHER reader with the same name as I do. Ours must really be a common name huh :P kekeke.. and yeah. it IS a small world!
u know.. u can enjoy singlehood and lovehood at the same time. but u need
1) trust. 2) a bitch-bestfriend-boyfriend.
best of both worlds is possible.
u shud know fad… kan kan kan? hehehehe.
macam tengah soundddddddd je hahaha… glad you’ve found your bitch-bestfriend-boyfriend :)
heya.. i enjoy reading your entries. and especially this one. im turning 31 and im still searching/waiting for “the one”. i must agree with you that being single isnt easy. there’re too many “challenges” and just the other day i woke up asking maself, “whr is ma life heading to?” which of Meredith Grey’s quote , she said “I think it’s better to have someone, even if it hurts, even if it is the most painful thing you have done, even if it’s the most painful thing you’ve ever had to do. I think it’s better to have someone.” -so, im not lying maself and not in denial that being single isnt fun or easy . i keep telling ma friends/family who are already in r’ship/marriage.. how lucky they’re to have that special someone in their life. they shd be grateful and bsyukur pada Illlahi. =)
Hello :) Thanks for dropping by and often and before I begin, i’d like to clarify again that this post is written by Claire, and not myself :) And thats a great quote btw; everyone seems to be quoting from that show! (that IS from a show, kan? kekeke pardon me). And yeah, true to what you said. I hope you find your special one soon, insyaAllah.
sigh.. being single sucks.. especially when all your friends already found their special other halves and u feel like an incomplete fraction..
drats… any good guys out there?? helllo??? u there???
hahahah!!!
I totally agree. Even if you have close friends, its just different you know? kekeke..
here mostly girls reading i think. try friendster or facebook :P
