Sex & Money

I am feeling just a bit low without any reason (again) today. It's a sure sign that "aunty" is gonna come visit soon!

Okay what about sex and money? Alrighty let's start.

SEX

In this context, I mean relationships. Well, not the 18sx porno thing that you were thinking (you perv!!).


I was waiting for Marcus to come fetch me earlier today in my mom's friend's garage, and there's this friend of hers talking to me and asking about my boy. haha.. Older generation punya orang, they told me, "better be loved than to love", girls gotta play hard-to-get and spin the guy's head around etc etc.


Almost a year ago my aunt told me the exact same thing.


Whew.


Well, yeah I totally understand, eh NO, I mean I DON'T really understand why.. Again, it's always better to listen to our elderly(ies) because of course they are far more experienced that we are!


But then again, in the matter of love, if it's not out of mere LOVE but game playing and jual mahal-ing, then what strong foundation is going to hold the relationship together?


Of course there are gonna be hardships and all but I believe if I have love truthfully with all my heart then I shall not regret even if one day the relationship doesn't go FOREVER. right?


I went to City Harvest church last Friday with a few friends to attend a talk by Pastor Pat Mesiti who came all the way from Aussie, to preach about LOVE and relationships.


Oh my he was hella funny, oops, I mean HEAVENLY funny, haha. Few things I've learnt:


1. There are 4 sides to male and female.


For male, there's a King, a Warrior, a Boy and a FOOL in each of them. Well WHY? You can easily figure it out I suppose. A king who needs RESPECT, a warrior who is always up for CHALLENGE, a boy who fancies TOYS, and a fool who just always make a fool out of himself. hahaha¬


For female, there's a Queen, a Lover, a Mother and a Witch (Pastor said he was gonna use the 'B' word but...). So yeah, A queen who needs to be LOVED and PAMPERED, a lover who is ROMANTIC, a mother who always takes care of your every need, and a W(b)ITCH who is..well, a witch! Mean, sarcastic, jealous etc.


I think it's pretty true. Pastor also said that the fundamental component in a relationship is LOVE and RESPECT. A woman has to always give her man respect because "a man rather live in a desert than a quarrelsome wife", that's how bad a man needed respect. And a man has to always show love and affection to his woman. For woman without love is like a plant without water, slowly die of thirst!


okay i admit that's a bit kua cheong. But it's true enough la, trust me.

We've seen too many cases of woman being proud and loves to humiliate their partners with the presence of many people, who likes to "act smart" and all, I admit i'm one of them, but I am changing for the better, to treat my man with the respect he deserve :)


And yeah, he also said something that I wanted to tell someone, and also to constantly remind myself of:


"Your PAST shouldn't be in your FUTURE"

MONEY

As for this past of the story, as usual, i'm just a bit lost of how I want my future to be. I am this little miss Type A who looks weak but indeed is pretty competitive and "anal" in nature. I got into psychology wanting to go into Industrial Psychology, but as time goes by I find myself more interested in YOUTH WORK.


The thing is, due to my nature which is very UN-business minded and pretty UN-creative, I think youth work can't make much money, and i'm not sure if I can one of those who makes a lot of money from Industrial Psych.


Alright money isn't everything but without money we're basically nothing much-lah. We need it to survive or to have a comfortable life at least.


So being in this state of mind that I have now i'm a bit overwhelmed by my seemingly "BLUR" future.


I went to psy302 Industrial Psychology lecture today, as usual it's by our favourite Dr Goh. Their assignment is going to be very very challenging and requires a lot of dedication and hard work.


I want to take that subject as a 3rd subject.


BUT.


3 subjects in a short sem is gonna be HELL. So I can't.


But then again, i'll just go sit in the lecture if i've got the time and energy, I think that's a better idea. Just to learn something. To my circle of friends they might think i'm crazy, but i've always been like this, I love to learn, so since i'm not taking the subject then it means I can learn more freely with an open heart and mind (without the assignments yay!)


So yeah..


This sem is going to be a crazy sem for myself.. I've got:

- Lecture (only Wed-Fri) + tutorials (dunno when)
- Make up class (Wed & Thursday nights)
- Volleyball practise (Tues & Thurs)
- another beauty theory class starting next week, every Fri-Mon for 4 continous weeks.


If i'm not gonna feel fulfilled and rich(in terms of having a tight schedule) by this then I don't know what will.


Marcus gonna take 3 subjects since he has nothing else to do, and it's good also to train that Mr Extreme Type B to be more of a healthy type A or B or which ever he prefers to be.


I'm gonna wish us all the best from now onwards, 3rd year is coming!!! without any warning.

p/s: I don't think this post has anything to do with sex & money, does it? haha!
