Young & in love

I know my post title may be misleading...LOL I'm not young & in love but it has got to do with being young & in love. Get it?? XD

Logged onto facebook first thing in the morning (not really, just after breakfast & cleaning the house), & I came across this video my friend posted up.

While watching it, it reminded me of my primary & high school days. Those were the days when I would immerse in this romantic fantasy of mine. LOL I've always dreamt that one day I'll have my own love story - "You'll be the prince & I'll be the princess, it's a love story, baby just say yes". When we were young, everything seemed hopeful, the future was uncertain but we were all excited about going to uni, making new friends, experiencing different cultures etc. In short, we were so carefree. If you meet a guy you like, love is all it takes. As long as you love one another, everything will work out right? However, now that I've grown older (hopefully wiser too), I realised that you can't live on love alone. Well at least I know I can't. Just like a chinese saying goes 爱情和面包，你选哪一个？*translated - love & bread, which one would you choose?* I'd definitely choose bread! As if love will keep me fed & warm. What if the guy I like is like super duper poor? =/ I'm also not implying that I want a rich guy...LOL It's just that when we become more mature, we'll take many factors into consideration, eg. is he financially stable? Would he be a great father to my children?

Sometimes I catch a glimpse of an extremely cute guy on the street, but guess what? Most of them are still in high school! ='( I'm old...really getting old...Before you think that I like young boys, let me tell you my tragic "love story". HAHAHAHAHA I was working with this guy called R on my research project & I really liked him because he was nice, friendly & all. Really liked his bubbly & funny personality. But...that feeling soon turned into mixed feelings because...he was engaged! ='(( Boohoo! He's getting married on the 10th of July. Ahhhhhhh! Why is it that I always fall for someone who's either taken or, worse, getting married?!!?

After finding out his relationship status, I felt SUPER nervous working alongside him after that. I kept feeling conscious about my actions, just in case he finds out that I actually have a crush on him then he had to make a difficult decision whether he should leave his fiancee for me. LOL Just kidding about the latter part. So, I'm not "actively" searching for the other half...wayyy too busy with my studies to even think about it. Gosh, I'm starting to ramble about how miserable my love life is. Please don't misunderstand. I'm happy with my status right now!

Why hasn't R invited me to his wedding?!?!?!?!

OK, fine...I AM happy! ^^

p/s: Oh, watch the video...it's so sweet! *melts*

XOXO,

Me
