*Disclaimer : i won't be held responsible if anyone who's reading this terasa ke, annoyed ke, angry ke... and more importantly, i wont be apologizing :P*
Yesterday, i had this very interesting conversation with Wei Nie : Why lala girls/boys make better girl/boyfriends compared to english educated ones and why should i date 1 of em. I for one can never see myself dating someone who dresses, acts and who's interest is sea-food-ish ( lala = seafood ). Rite, i will talking about the 2 different ends ok, not those who are 50-50.. And i don't mean those who have chinese education but have an english up bringing or vise versa, i'm saying those who have the chinese chinese mentality and the chinese english mentality. Need to take the extremist of each side :D
Well, according to her, chinese-ed (will use the term since ppl might think i'm discriminating them if i say lala) girls possess certain qualities lacking in their english ed counterparts. What are they i asked... For one, she says they are more obedient.... As in boyfriend say this , they will obey, boyfriend say go see movie, they follow, boyfriend say don't mess around with others, they stay loyal, boyfriend say
Next, there's the thing that english educated girls (and guys as well) are very self absorbed and tend to let our egos get the better of us. Are we?? Am i?? Is it THAT bad? I don't know, maybe we are, but what makes the chinese ed ones any less different?? I think they are also very self absorbed in themselves. Bah.. i dunno how to argue this point... :P
Then there's this thing where we english ed ones are more uptight and are less romantic? WTF.. She claims that ppl like me are too self absorbed to express how we truly feel to that other person and tend to be not on the romantic side. Is this true?? I thought one should not express how they feel unless they are 100% sure of what they are feeling is true? If that is correct, then rite, maybe, we don't feel that way about that person, thats why we can't express ourselves. Oh, in other words, we don't wanna give the girl false perception of how we feel towards her :P. As for the romantic part, i duno la.. i am sure though, that Jac will 100% agree that i ain't no Romeo la :( .. But then women, if i have to bring my A game, i will bring my A-game :P.
Wait, thats only for the guys, what about girls leh? Those who have boyfriends, got a question for you, do you express how you feel towards your guy very often? Or do you just keep it in and hope that sum how, he can read your mind?
Hmmm.... the next thing was that chinese ed ppl are more simple minded and straight to the point. Like if they see something, then thats that, no 'why its like that', 'how come can like that', or 'whats the catch'. And if they see someone they like, they just go for him... no thinking of what if's. A little too gung-ho for me though, yes i am english ed, so i tend to think a lil bit more.. But why not? Don't you think there are consequences to actions that you take? Don't tell me if u see a girl that appeals to you, you just 'cheong' only without taking certain factors into mind?? Alright, maybe it's due to watching too much One Tree Hill, The O.C. and Grey's Anatomy kind of shows that makes me(us english ed ones) think twice?
Well, that being that, she thinks i should go for the chinese ed girl because they will be obedient, more expressive of themselves, uh... more caring and a whole load of other stuff la.. However, i strongly disagree... Why? first reason being, Wheres the common interest?? As far as i know, there will be NOTHING that will be topic of interest. Ok, 2 topics of interest that i can see having huge conflict is : music and movies/tv shows. And mind u, these are the two which are very big in my life.
For one, i'm the kind of guy who listens to ENGLISH songs.. chinese ed girls will listen to CHINESE songs.. Even if they do listen to english ones, it will be those oh so pop-ish kinds like britney, justin, Backstreet boys kind. And oh, the techno, house kind of songs.. IOW, feng-tao music that is being played in clubs. I'm the kind that listens to My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Metallica, Linkin Park and Avril where as the chinese ed ones will be all Jay Chou, JJ Lin, SHE, Jolin etc. How can we ever strike a common cord?
As for the movies, how to take the girl who only understands chinese to shows like Die Hard, Meet The Parents and American Pie? Shows that require listening to the dialog to catch whats happening la. Same goes for me, i can understand chinese, abit, but still, i don't enjoy watching chinese shows unless they are the really funny types ( think Stephen Chow) or action types (think kung fu and chinese gangsta movies). Tv leh, lagi la die, fact : I don't watch TVB serials and i don't watch channel 30 on Astro (in fact, i don't have the chinese package :P). Some how , i just tak boleh tahan. And you expect chinese ed girls to sit down and watch and enjoy House MD, One Tree Hill, Heroes and Lost with me? I seriously doubt that.
Something missing? I'm sure those who know me might think, what about your 'wife' , football? Well, thing is, it don't really matter if the girl i go out with likes football or not. Cos rite, more often then not, girls i know have no interest at all in sports let alone football. So i've come to accept that if i get a girl who is a football fan, its a bonus, if she is a Man Utd fan, like 6 months bonus!! hahaha... And if she enjoys my other passion, Formula 1, its like striking the lottery!! Twice!! hahahaha... So there, i won't put this as a criteria, i think if i do, there won't be anyone left :P.
Plus, i need a girl who i can communicate with, in english.. Somehow, to me la, i don't think if i have a banter/debate on a topic in english, i will get an equal and good response.. Basically, i need someone who can also stimulate me mentally. I think those who are from the same side as me can give me that. They will know what the heck i'm talking about and how to balas balik :D. And oh, jangan harap for me to express my feelings or be romantic in chinese. I'll admit that i'm not good at it. How la wanna convey the words like " Watching you smile just makes my day, or because of you, now i feel complete" stuff like dat.. And rite, if i were to say those words to her in english, would she understand?
Oh, have u seen their fashion sense?? I tell you, they look like clowns without makeup!! wait wait.. they do put on make up.. Ok ok rephrase, they look like clowns without the white make up and red nose !!! Come to TAR college and you will see what i mean. And rite, their hairstyle, adui... tak boleh tahan la... feel like taking a shaver n just shave their whole head bald!! Like mine !! hhahahaha
See, for those reasons alone, i seriously say that i cannot, will not, go out with someone if she the lala type :P. Sorry la, just had to use that word :P... Actually, i promised Kat that i'd blog about Love or Money, sorry la kat, i'll blog about it in the next few post k :)
On another note, after 1 week in the shop, i finally got my electric guitar back!! Now it has a black strap and a black pick to accompany it!! YEAH!!
Feels and sounds like brand new!! yay!! Back to rocking.. ciaoz..
