that ideal one.

met up with my FADIS girls for dinner! and they just had to choose Fish&Co. right beside my outlet. lol. did the usual sharing of the seafood platter and talking! and Michelle's sister actually surprised her with a birthday cake! both Weiwei and I had like a reaction time that was a trillion times slower than others and we absolutely didn't know how to react! so we ended up eating the cake. and sticking the candle back on the remnants of it and then taking a photo with it.

and through the night, we were talking about everything under the sun. and we touched on the issue of relationships. how some of the people around us are getting in a relationship and finding absolute bliss. and sadly, how some of them are getting out of them, despite being in that certain one for years, like how the years, days, minutes and seconds spent together didn't mean anything, anymore.

yes, it's a very touchy issue. and what's more, that over-commercialized V-day is drawing nearer. i've had my fair share of getting in and out of relationships too. i know the euphoria of being in one. but at the same time, i've experienced enough of the hurt and pain of breaking up to know that i'm not at all keen to go through that again.

and every past relationship has allowed me to discover something that i look for other people. some qualities that i would very much like my other half to possess. qualities that surpass outer looks, although i do agree that good looks are a plus point for first impressions!

for me, i definitely need someone who thinks a lot about the future. it's not all about living a life now, but rather living a fulfilling life now and knowing what you want to do with the rest of your life all at the same time. and i do need someone who can carry a decent conversation with me. not the usual senseless ramblings, but a real conversation where we can both voice out how we feel about things without feeling weird. i'm a very vocal person, and i do need someone who's vocal enough too. and most importantly, i need someone who i can depend on and yet at the same time, someone who allows me to be independent in my own ways. i know, my ideal guy sounds like an oxymoron but life's ironic the way it is, ain't it?

of course, those are on top of the usual qualities one would be expect to have. qualities like being caring, understanding, filial and such. and all that will round up to the perfect one. one that is too good to be true. lol. i do like my life the way it is now and i have no plans to make any major changes to it. so until the right one who fits the description comes along, which i don't perceive to be any time in the near future, i'm very much contented with my family and friends around me.
