parents and i got treated to a rather interesting sight last nite...
fodder for my gossipy blog entries... mom, who was waiting in the car for us under the block, was looking (STARING) at one of my neighbour's teenage daughter smooching (passionately, may i add) this guy... when dad and i came down in the lift... they were like right in front of the door.... once again, smooching away... i guess it's not hard to feel awkward in such a situation... you dont know whether to look away or AT them... coz their behaviour and lack of a want for privacy kinda points to the latter... outright attention seekers... but maybe not.... maybe they simply have this undying passion for each other that they cannot express in other more private ways... but who am i to comment... to judge... to criticise... parents reaction was quite funny actually... can tell that their comments were in a way coded with a warning to me... that they better not catch me doing something like that... which is hilarious really... have never really been impressed with PDA at all... think that it is something unnecessary... and its better left at home or in some private space... its terrible to make the people ard you watch... while you french your partner... and start sliding hands all over the place... it's like some soft-porn flick played out in the open... eekS! it's not that i'm against showing affection to your loved ones... i love hugging my mom... shoulder-charging my dad (affection?)... or grabbing the arms of my close friends... i believe that 'touch' is a very important medium of communication... but i think there is a limit to everything... even though we have evolved to become an open-minded society and wat not... i think that there has to be a fair amount of propriety instilled in our youths... we are, regardless of the extent of Westernisation, still Asian... which values i really think deserves to be conserved... as it is the only thing that sets us apart from our Western counterparts... call me old-fashioned fuddy-duddy... backward... i dont mind... but i guess it boils back down to the line i've loved to go by... Do not do onto others what you dont want others to do onto you... holding hands, pecks-on-cheek, arm-ard-waist/shoulders are fine, i think... oh well... who am i to imposed my views on others? you have the right, the ability to think otherwise... but this is what i think... maybe i'll just have to learn to conc on my book/sms/cute-guy if i so happen to encounter PDA-ers on the LRT/MRT/void-decks again... feel free to tag your views... this is one debatable topic... watched a number of movies in hostel so far... Before sunset... Before sunrise... Lost in translation... Matchstick men... CSI... my little cosy corner on the floor in my room is damn freaking comfy... maybe save up for another cushion... pity... i dont think i'll get to do this very often next week onwards... thanks for everything thus far... ----Stef stopped rambling at 14:25 --Link to Post |
