Finally I have the chance and time and mood to write something other than bout myself. Like seriously, to write something like this need time okay... I can't every now and then just bullshit whatever I want, they have to be true. So read on and let me know what you think?

It's really ironic that people who are in a relationship wants to be single, and people who aren't in a relationship wants to be attached.
This is a known fact, everyone knows it. But have you ever thought bout the reason behind this ironic fact?
As the saying goes, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. True enough, but then there's also another saying that goes, if the grass on the other side of the fence is greener, then it's time to water your lawn.
You see, people who just got into a relationship doesn't want to be single. They couldn't even imagine being single and without their partner. These "wanting to be single" thoughts only appears after bout let's say, half a year or maybe more through out the relationship? That's when both party gets to know each other better, and that's when all the quarreling and disagreements comes in too.
In case nobody knows, I am single and I feel lonely sometimes especially in the middle of the night. So I'd probably get some friends to have casual chats over the msn, and we will talk bout my so called depression. These friends more or less are often attached. And when I tell them I feel lonely, they would say, "Single is the best, I wanna be single also...".
Can I say bullshit? Wanna be single then break up la, join the club. Don't just whine there saying single is the best and do nothing about it. Freaking don't understand people who have the blessing of being with someone they love but doesn't know how to appreciate it, instead they go around telling outsiders that they prefer to be single. (Insiders refers to only you and your partner, anyone else are outsiders.)
I mean, don't you have a brain? Think bout how your partner will feel if he/she knew that you prefer being single than being with them? Imagine if your partner does the same thing to you, whining to all his/her friends that they would rather be single than to be with you.
Then again, there will be explanations like, "You don't understand... There're a lot of problems between us, it's complicated... etc etc etc"
You know what? Ya, I don't understand. You got problems. Who doesn't? Heck, I have problems even when I'm single, let alone being in a relationship. So? Solve it la. Whining bout it and being dissatisfied coz you have problems doesn't change anything. If you're really that unhappy in a relationship, do something, instead of being disrespectful to your partner. And no, even if you're just saying it for the sake of complaining to a friend, it still doesn't justify your actions.
I am just really sick of people telling me that being single is the best and they wanna be single, when they are already in a relationship. If you can't appreciate what you have, you don't deserve to be loved nor to love anyone else.
Oh oh, btw, in continuation of the above 2 sayings, I have a better one.
If you can't grow your grass greener than the other side of the fence, mowed them all and pour cement over your lawn. Problem solved. XDXD

Botak-ing the lawn is a great idea. I like it!
JUNJUNRIKOOOOOOO
The grass is greener on the other side all the time. XP

i think problems in a relationship is often caused by over-protectiveness of your partner and jealousy..
The last sentence is epic! haha
I do appreciate the relationship that I'm having now and I hope you can find one soon!
all the best! ^^
hahaha, good one :)
Salute , very very damn true!
hie! came over to your blog from taufulou's blog :)
and i must say i totally whole heartedly agree with what you just wrote! especially that last pouring cement part :P

josh:
u don wish u r single now then is a good thing la... if u say u wish u r single now, no need me to whack u also la, jess will do it. haha.
justin:
true.. but it's coz they care then only they're over protective and gets jealous. so it's everyone's responsibility to not allow their partner to have any reasons to feel insecure/jealous. =)
philip:
haha, good, next time u pray remember pray for me ar. XDXD
Yupez.. that is always a common answer from someone who is already attached...
Haha. In my case, I'm happily attached for 6 years already and I haven't regretted even a single bit. I went thru so many years of LDR (not ending yet) and of course we had arguments here n there. I guess ppl who are attached claim that singles are better because they aren't satisfied with their partner especially when they start to compare their partners with others' and vice versa. But everything has pros and cons. It's just how you look at it. Cheers! :) Btw, I was the girl who asked u about the eyeliner thingin fb. haha. Thanks and I bought the eyeliner d! :D
Am happy in a relationship and wanna stay in it forevah.... One day u will find yours too. The grass is greener quotes are very good...LOL...
If you can't grow your grass greener than the other side of the fence, mowed them all and pour cement over your lawn. Problem solved.
LahMAO~!
so what if i dont even have a lawn?
xD
these ppl will never understand how we single girls think wann la. i understand the loneliness u felt.
sooo true!! everybody have problems no matter what their relationship status are. be grateful lah people!
ah yess , another interesting and beautiful post .
i agree with the comment from CL on everything has pros and cons . Nothing can be perfect right ? They say the best relationship is filled with quarrels and difference of opinions .
and yes I find ur concluding saying very interesting. Can u actually describe the real-life analogy on the part where u mow and pour cement ? I would like to hear it :D
yah u r right..better appreciate a relationship..loneliness kills me.. god..i freaking hate my position right now..in a relationship but still all alone..
No matter single or not. Just be yourself. Make sure that you are happy all the time. ^_^
wah...suddenly becom so matured edi ar....can think like a grown up now.. me like
"If you can't grow your grass greener than the other side of the fence, mowed them all and pour cement over your lawn. Problem solved. XDXD"
as u said, the grass is always greener on the other side.. =p
i have been with my bf since high school, so i haven't exactly been what u would say as SINGLE..
however, as he is overseas, i m attached yet single with no bf to hang kai kai with etc... and it does get lonely with no hugs and a hand to hold. So, i do get the lonely bit.
But I realised with him not around, I don't depend on him so much and learn to be more independent. I have to force myself to socialise with others and make new friends.
i would say to single friends is.. don't rush to get into a relationship for the sake of easing the loneliness cos that will just open doors to heartache.
but maybe u could try to look at it as with u being single for now, u have more time for ur self, friends and thinks u want to do.
i m sure u have loads u want to accomplished or focus on right?
and when u have a bf later on, u'll have less time for all of these, somehow.
plus, being in a relationship isn't easy. there will always be the arguments and misunderstanding. the couple has to see the need to want to work out the issues and manage each other's expectations.
but most ppl nowadays seem to be following hollywood style. get together, say "i love you"s then break up and move on to the next person.
anyways, i do hope u can find someone caring & mature soon!! don't give up but don't rush it!!
ps: u r right, ppl shouldn complain when in a rship. if don't like, break up n stay single. not fair to the other party... really hate ppl who use others
*claps claps*
First time I accidentally link to this blog and I've come across a truthful fact about a post.
This is a nice post wonderful about being single when you're single or 'wanting' to be single.
Yet again, I enjoyed reading this post. Every words as I read through portraits the situation of most people they are facing.
Kudos Jun²-Riko
I mentioned that once in my blog and he got a little mad when he read it. It was mentioned as a joke. But I guess it's kinda hurt his feelings.
So ya, I will never say that again. I really enjoy being with him for the past 5 years and it will continue to be. :)
Hope you'll get to meet your the one soon. And live happily ever after. :)
You're awesome, I love you.
THUMBS UP~
WELL SAID~~
this must b some catalysis suddenly kick in.
Totally agree with'ya
Totally agree with ur post..in fact, earthling most of them are just unsatisfied with what they got..I LOVE UR LAST SAY
" If you can't grow your grass greener than the other side of the fence, mowed them all and pour cement over your lawn. Problem solved. XDXD "..once and for all~..ahhaha..
CL:
yup true. they complaint coz they're still looking for someone better. even though they think that their partner is not "The One", they don wanna let go, coz they're having a gf/bf just for the sake of having one.
jason lcE:
haha yup.. n i've heard it for like a gazillion times. XD
kruel74:
awwww... so sweet.. u should tell your wife in her face... sure she feel very manis. =p
rin:
how can u not have a lawn??? lawn means your attraction towards the opposite gender/ your wants to be loved by someone. =)
ashleyteng:
hoi... u don emo bersama-sama me la.. LOL...
nn:
ya... some people don even get to be with their loved ones... yet these ppl are complaining all the time.
Lan:
the mow and pour cement part, is almost equivalent to discarding all wants of being loved by someone or all wants to be in a relationship. Converting yourself to be a nun or a monk would be like mowing and pour cement over your lawn. =) or you can suicide, if that's one of the choice you prefer. LOL. jkjk.
RKCG:
even though u're in a difficult relationship right now, i have never heard you complaint bout prefer to be single. kudos to u and all the best. =)
jayce:
ya exactly... but sometimes the loneliness is very tormenting... T___T
cnigel:
eh i thought i all along matured...? u childish only ma... hahahahaha...
goingkookies:
awwww... now im envious towards you... u've never really been single... i've been in and out of 3 relationships now and it's not something im proud of either... if time could turn back, i'd just skip all 3 and wait for "The One". =(
keatsan:
thank you... =)
Vel:
ya... it hurts to hear even when it was meant as a joke. =) thanks for your wishes.. let's pray together for me. LOL.
spinzer:
but i don love u wor how? u still owe me ice creams leh...
chauss:
haha... =) just suddenly felt the urge to write that.
fleevz:
haha.. seems like alot of ppl also like the last saying ler. =)
oh wow , that'a a bit cruel eh -.-" but definitely does the job~~
OOOH.. don't envy me!!
hehe.. i had my share of heartaches.. arguments etc too with the bf!
but value ur 3 diff experience with the 3 diff guy... and appreciate the good u have from the rship and learn from the mistakes =)
life's a FOREVER learning process.. even now, my bf also have to learn to work things out etc..
maybe the one is already right before ur very eyes.. but u re not seeing it just yet.. in due time.. try not to fret but make the best out of singlehood k.
