heartless...eh?

Image nicked here.

Had a teh tarik session with 2 buddies from old on Wednesday.

The three of us are like siblings. Despite being from different backgrounds. She's 35, a Chinese. He's 36, a brute of a dude. Both are still single. Both had their hearts broken more than a decade ago. Both are still reeling from the pain after all these years. Wanted to suggest that they love each other instead but being like brother and sister all their adult lives, I already know what their answer would be.

I dunno. First love could be a testing ground for some. Juvenile fun for them naughty few. Something to cherish for a few others. But for some, it is the one and only love they want and they work hard to keep it. Unfortunately love takes two to tango. No matter how hard one party worked it would be to no avail if the other decided to call it quits. And to make it worse, her heartbreaker was a very close friend of mine, part of the old gang. Maybe some are just not ready to cross the racial lines even in matters of the heart. What a pity. That was indeed one bitter pill to swallow for all of us back then.

Fortunately the both of them are never bitter. Life must go on even if she's a bitch. They just don't have the will to pursue any meaningful relationship. Imagine carrying a pain for 13 or so years. Damn!

And we're just glad that we can still have these occasional lepak sessions. To sooth old wounds if nothing much else.

To the both of you, live life and just be happy. It'd be a waste to carry regrets to the grave.

melankolik... dilemma... semua manusia pernah mengalaminya. tapi kalau terus2 dalam keadaan begitu... stoooopid!

sekarang 36... nanti kejap lagi 40... then 50... masih begitu?

hidup jalan terus! kadang perlu slow, kadang perlu laju, kadang perlu mengelak, tapi kadang harus melanggar... rempuh saja... macam mat rempit!
