Back in those days....

Enough on love for now, I guess many people will have many views to that and that four letter word will carry on as one of world's greatest unsolved mystery I guess... now to something I would like to call "back in those days"... I am sure everyone of us have their fare share of it... At least heard of it... Like parents will tell you "Back in those days, a bowl of noodles would cost only 5 cents" or "Back in those day, we have to spend 30 mins walking to and fro school". The list goes on lah...

When I was young, I used to think that such "speech" is how our parents try to tell us how tough it is to make a living and how fortunate we are. In those years, only elders say such speech, and I am surprise that today, I am already making such speech... Back in those days when you can get a decent meal with $2 or $5 can get u a full macdonald meals. Now a days, where ever I look, kids carry PSP if not DS lite... what happened to those days when we play paper plane, play zero point (with ropes made of rubber bands), police and thief and block catching? I wonder

Is this related to why many of our youths are so fragile now? the numbers died in army now is way more than those in the past and in the past... its suppose to be tougher... as least from all the tales I hear from my uncle and all... I wonder... but honestly the fact that I can make such "speech" now shows how fast the world is going... and when u run to fast and fall... you are going to get bruised bad... what the economy facing now... they run fast... things was good... so they push.. push push.. till they cannot take it no more... and one plunge sees many casualties... oh well... its just human nature, they only see the roots to things when times are bad...

Those were the days....

Regarding Love

I received quite abit of feedback for my last post, thanks everyone for sharing of views, brings whole new light to definition LOVE. A power four letter word in many many ways... And really, there is a difference in how gender makes a difference in these four letter word. I am not going to start a gender debate here. Coz honestly, I feel it boils down to feelings I guess.... how sensitive are you... there are many kinda of portrays of love.... I can just think of a few for now...

The MCP (Male Chuvanist Pig)
This does not refer to only males, suprisingly, many girls are also developing such attitude. I guess its can be truely reflected not only because the person's upbringing, but also when the Love he/she put in is not greater then the other party... the tendency for this character to appear is very high. They often think highly of themselve, and deserve to be pampered, and all his/ her action is pampering his/her partner. Things usually goes their way... and often those attached to this kinda people are....

The Sticky tapes
This kinda can also be found in both genders.... this is the case where they are the 'giver' of love, put in un-conditionally, but definately hope something back in return. Usually the one getting hurt... Not understanding why the other party cannot compromised to themselve like how they compromise to them. All they want to be is in these world of Love, just the 2 of them, and see happy ever after. But the sorrow within them is seldom see... They are the great Pretender.

Hmm... that is my version of the takers and givers i guess.... I am sure many begs to differ... so just share with me.... hehe
