the 5-second rule.

Suddenly remembered this article i read in the newspaper not too long ago... sumthin about introducing courses in polytechnics about romance and relationships. Absolutely hilarious.

You know, it's one of those things u'd say along the "when pigs fly" kinda meaning... something like, "Wah lau, come on lah... she can't possibly like me lor, if she did... i think they'll start teaching romance courses in polytechnics!" Oh well, who'd have thought.

I almost died laughing when a girl commented "if a guy looks into my eyes for 5 seconds, i'll know that he may be interested in me." My goodness. Hey doodette, if you ask me, there can only be 3 reasons: (1) he's daydreaming. (2) He's trying to listen to you but his mind is really somewhere else. (3) err... you got eye 'shit' in your eyes. Cos' honestly, 5 seconds is just way too long. Guys out there be careful, if you dun like the gal... look away at 4 and a half seconds or you'll be leading her on!

Jokes aside, i always believed that romance and relationships should be taught in the school of life. Sure, there are guide books and best sellers like "Men are like Mars bars, Women are like Venus Gillette shavers" but essentially they're just beacons to guide us in the game for two. (for some, more than two.) Still, we'd have to sometimes really take the tumble, win somebody over, fail miserably, emerge victorious, make silly mistakes, do the right thing... and eventually learn something from all this.

From time to time, people look for the rainbow connection with the notion that "someday you'll find it"; true for the fortunate, absolute rubbish for the skeptics. I say... sometimes, when you're on the roof on a gloomy night looking for stars, take a good look around you and perhaps, just perhaps... you may find another reason to stay on the roof a little longer.

Loving every bit of my FYP right now.
