Will I find my life partner here in KL? Or will it be another futile attempt. I don't know. He did show sign of wanting to be friend. Or he could just be trying to be nice. I hate people who try to be NICE. It gets confusing, but in his case, I don't really care as long as I get to go out with him.
Relationship has a very important role in my life. Sometime I think about what I will sacrifice to maintain a relationship and the enormity of it scares me. I only hope if I finally met the right person, he will be worth it, and we can somehow work together for a meaningful future.
KL is more expensive than Singapore. You might be surprised but it's true. In Singapore, earning 3000SGD per month can give you a pretty comfortable life, but in KL, the same amount of money (in local currency, i.e. RM3000), cannot give you the same standard of living. I hate to admit it, but Malaysia is not progressing enough to keep up with the world. it's really a shame considering how much potential this country had.
I have been haunted by a urgent need to progress. There's this tempo of life that tells me time is slowly running out for human kind, yet no one seemed to care. Things are happening, and they will continue to happen. Some day, when things come to an inevitable climax, I pray for those who are not mentally prepared.
I am probably just paranoid, but I want to do what I want to do before it's too late.
As I am typing this in an internet cafe, there's a young kid sitting opposite me who is singing into his monitor. Looking at him, I feel a dreaded chill. He is perfectly happy in his enclosed personal space, yet how long can he shut the world out? How many people in the world are shutting out the real events that's happening?
The people around me are playing different online game, immersing in and enjoying their constant escapade into a fantasy world where they don't have to face the real issues. I shall behold the day when the virtual world takes over the real world in people's collective consciousness.
This is an age of Mass Exodus to Inner Self. As many of us turned inward and found ourselves in a surreal, self-constructed fantasy world, what will happen to the real world? Or will it matter anymore?

Sure, some people are luckier, they meet their "The One" relatively quickly, while others might never meet theirs. But everyone need to go through the same period of searching, understanding, accepting, committing and accommdating. Every single will get hurt in one way or anyone. Everyone will need to give, in order to get.
The important thing is to know when to let go. It is like doing a business. There is always sunken cost. A good businessman knows when a business is lost and pull out in order to start another. A bad business man will go down with the ship.
Hee hee... sounds so deep :P

Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place would I recognize the face?

Thank you for all you reply. I think the one difference for me between a business and a love is that in business I am emotionally detached, while in a relationship I am hopelessly emotionally entangled. In business I try to open my eyes wide, in relationship, I just close my eyes and jump. ;)
I read this article some time ago... it is quite interesting. It says that while people spend lots of money to hire headhunters, recruitment agency to look for the correct people for their company, doing background checks, interviews and tests just to find the correct people for the job; when it comes to the love of your life, people just leave it to chance and take the jump blindly approach. It just doesn't make sense. :P
Actually that's what matchmaking agency is trying to do! Do the background checks and stuff. So actually, going for matchmaking might make more sense than seeking relationship blindly. Know any good, reliable, discreet matchmaking agency out there? ;)
But then again, in a relationship, the attributes that one looks for are usually more personal, less tangible, so it's harder to judge.
