she hit the nail right on the head to say that love's not purely between the lovebirds. maybe because we're not literally birds. lol! cos' unlike birds, we have family and friends who more or less do contribute to who ultimately is our 终身伴侣. (i can't deny it!no matter how much i want to..) their opinions do matter, because they are ppl whom i love too and also, due to respect. NO ONE would want a wedding ceremony with disapproving parents right. but that doesn't mean they get to choose my him ya? cos in the verry verry end. I'M the one that's gonna 共度一生 with him. :)))

it's not as if i'm complaining or anything. (cos complaining's besides the point) my parents are more of the ones who are on the practical and half conventional side. i have to admit that they are already very reasonable compared to the extremists. they let me have a bf, let me go on trips, let me decide the course i want. but maybe it's me who's not mature(like what they've said) , i just feel sad that they won't let me go on a tour with fz to china! they think that i'll meet someone better next time and they don't want both parties to get hurt too deeply."要有所保留"said papa.
why won't they just get it. (they must be asking me the same qns in their heads!) weren't they once young before. i've found my prince! and it wasn't in 'the heat of a moment'. i thought over it for a freaking long time. i wanted just one and only one. i'm not restricting myself. it's just how things goes in how i believe in fairytales.. oh well. maybe i'm really too young and naive. but i really see no harm in traveling with fz. many couples in larger countries are doing it too. doesn't mean just because singapore is small, we have to restrict ourselves within this land and get stuck. why won't u let me see more, explore more? i just wanna have some fun mama! i'm going for only a week. and it's with his father.lol! but then again, i'll not rebel. i just feel that you should let me grow. you state the rules. and i'll follow. (:

I once, too, thought that love is this magical and magnetic feeling you have with mr right. and once it's found, NOTHING ELSE MATTERED. apparently, i think western fairytales have too large an impact on me. things just don't go this wway, even if we're already in the 21st century. Somehow, traditions, cultures, mindsets stay the same. they refuse to be fused with the west.i'm not asking for a total merge.just a tiny weeny bit.

but the good thing is, they allowed my climbing trip to krabi! self financed tho.

YES! (: thank you pa, ma! :)))
