I know I said that Monday is one of the best days to post something, but today ain't going to be one happy-post day. I doubt anyone of you people would like to hear about the 1000 amazing saves from keeper Seb in today's soccer match and his superb, miraculous, audacious and sublime 2 goals that he scored today as well. One with a curler with the outside boot and the other just a plain simple ball over the top and somehow it went into the net. Yeah...I write all the stuff and could even draw the diagram and none of you would give a damn. Who wants to learn the offside rule anyway?
Then, after soccer, Yw had this...weird attraction to Subway. Ahhhh, had to go with him eat Subway again.(HA Maggie, be jealous!) So while eating, we were exchanging news worthy gossip. He got quite a bit from his mahjong sessions daily and I just told him more of my past. Somehow my past seems to have more things to talk about than my present. Yeah, and for those of you who are now eagerly awaiting me to write about some of the stuff we exchanged...NAHHHHHH, no way, impossible, not doing it. So just scroll down and click one of the other links then. The stuff we talked about shall remain unknown to all of you. Maybe as time goes by, I can write more about my past. Ah...the good old days.
But what Yw told me just seem to confirm some things that I was not very sure of initially. Hmmmm...very interesting.
Most of our discussions were about love anyway lol. But it's so difficult to know how exactly, is one guy/girl in love with another. So, good'ol Seb had come up with this idea: The 5 badges of Love.
*Note:The presence of 1 badge is sometimes enough to prove that an individual is in love. When testing for love, we use all 5 badges for testing. Sometimes when 1 badge is missing, it's enough to show that the individual is not in love.
Badge 1: Intiative
I mean, c'mon! This one should be pretty obvious. I mean, usually when you are minding your own business and listening to your music, doing your stuff, then suddendly this random guy pops up in MSN and kept on talking to you. Asking about your well-being, and all that. Anything under the sun just to have a conversation with you. He/she would also ask you out for outings and all that.
E.g.Remember the 15 minutes long convo Allan had with CF? I posted it in my blog before. 95% of the convo was written by Allan. Clearly, he was trying to engage in conversation with CF but sadly for him, her replys were all 'Ah','Lol','Yeah','GTG,BB'. =(
Badge 2: Similarities
You see, when someone wants to attract another person, they will always find something that is common between them to connect. Like if the girl you like plays basketball, the guy will practise basketball skills and techniques 24-7, 12 months a year. Then when they go out, at least they have something in common. Imagine a couple going out with nothing in common. Their outings would most likely be in silence or every single attempted conversation would end with a 'erm...yeah' or 'nope'.
E.g.*coughs*Allan's handphone*coughs*
Badge 3: Difference in moods
Eh, this one a bit harder to explain. Put it simply, think of this person in 2 different groups of people. 1 group is with normal friends, the other is with friends+the person he/she likes. The difference in that person in both groups will be apparent after a while. He/she will be average, inconsistent happy and sad in the first group but forever happy in the 2nd group. Being around the person you love is bliss. Yeah...wait til you get married...
E.g.Everytime during tutorial Allan like outsider, just stand outside do nothing and sleep. Then that time when he was waiting for his AA lesson, dunno why so happy. I very boring meh? Maybe Yq, Dick, Henry and Maggie is boring. Or maybe because he was waiting for AA with Xl. Or maybe it's just his character.
Badge 4: Referencing
Cause the person you like would tend to be the perfect one for you. So you would always based your judgements on other people using someone you like as a guide. Like in primary school, when I see other girls, somehow I just feel Jan is better haha. Lucky I never let that slip out of my mouth when my friends were all talking about girls.
E.g.Refer to what I said lor.
Badge 5: Sacrifice
Aiya, this one also obvious lah. Don't need explain so much. Usually a person will sacrifice just to make someone he/she likes happy even though the other don't know about it.
E.g.Allan didn't want to play DOTA with us one time. Just because he wanted to talk to CF in MSN. End up, they didn't talk, he SPAMMED. Talk not equal to Spam. Allan always failed to realise it.
Aiya, die. Now I realise I based most of my examples on Allan. But he's the best for examples, so many candidates. Like HC, CF and XL. Not only 3 ok, he got some more. I'm just going by his more well-known and common interest.
