Prince Charming....

Amy's Back in the HOUSE!!!!

Today...I'm going to talk about soul mates. Wonder what trigger this subject? I don't know....I've nothing else better to write about. HAHAHAAH....

You know what they say...there's someone for everyone. That one person that you're destined to be with. Okay, you've watched movies like 'Serendipity' and all those lovey dovey chick-flick that goes planting all those cheesy-romantic things in our brains. But does it really exists?

We can never define love. Then how do we know if we've ever been in love? It can merely be a huge crush, lust or attraction. But really...how on earth are we suppose to know that we're in love with this one person?

Sweaty palms, butterflies in tummy, you get tongue tied? Isn't that just all a nervous reaction? I get that when I'm sitting for a blardy important exam!!! Does that mean I'm in love with my exam paper?

But...when I see some people, telling me so confidently they've found my soul mate, it makes me curious. Curious to actually know if their so-called soul mate will actually last forever. It's funny how after maybe a few years and they've a falling out, their soul-mate will turn out into their worst nightmare. Okay, its cruel to laugh but....if only I had a tape recorder and tape every single words they said to me about him/her being perfect and so on. Suddenly, that perfect person is this monster they want to kill and smash and see them suffer. Is that what you call a soul mate?

Like just the other day, I was having dinner with Eva and Andrew. First, let me just say that Andrew looks like a frog. I'm not being mean here....Eva said so herself. He isn't excatly prince charming. He's more like.....Quasimodo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. She said, "I never in a million years imagine myself marrying a man like him. So ugly....." of course after she said that, I burst into a fit of giggles because Andrew pretended to look hurt.

Eva continued, "When I was young, I always dream of having at least a decent looking man. I know dreaming of a handsome one is almost impossible, but all I ask for is someone DECENT...in the end...I get this...but...I love him...and I've never been more grateful in my life to find someone who loves me like he does."

They met in a very very fairytale like way. She's from China, he's from Malaysia. Boy meets girl in Shanghai while walking on the street, falls in love at first sight, follows girl right to the mall only to almost get caught by a security guard for stalking girl. Well...you get the idea. Eva said, she actually fell in love with him when she fell so sick and was admitted to hospital. Andrew flew all the way from Malaysia, to Shanghai and took care of her for almost 2 weeks. Staying by her side.

HmMMm...wait...is that LOVE or was it Gratitude?

I'm sure when we're young, we've always imagine this perfect scenerio on how we'll fall in love. How we'll meet our Prince Charming and also have some sort of criteria he has to at least fill up. Tall, dark, handsome...get my point?

But does it really exists? We go through life after that in search for that perfect person....only to get dissapointed in the end coz that 'perfect person' doesn't exists. What exists is the harsh reality of life. Prince Charming isn't tall, dark or even handsome. In fact, as we hit a certain age, we don't want Prince Charming anymore. We want....that one person who can give us security and support us for the rest of our lives.

Then....our dreams and fantasy shall just vanish into thin air. *POoF* just like the wind, our hopes and nightly dreams when we're young are gone!

Maybe that's why most of us don't end up finding the guys of our dreams. Because we either put our standards up too high. Maybe because we want these 'real people' fit the criteria of our 'Prince'.

It's really sad...that most people think that Prince Charming still exists....ah well...REALITY BITES.
