Never thought I would feel so sad about leaving RIB; thought i cut down on my sentimental side too. but well, i’m still pretty sad about leaving this place. my days here are numbered now and i can see the end of my stay here quite clearly. 4 years here have been eventful with ups and downs. Once I hated this place so much I wanted to just get outta here. There are also times when I felt like I belonged here. After all, this is my second home. However, I still prefer to go home, to my own room and spend time with people who are so dear to me. Recently I read a blog post about a guy who gave up his job as a scientist on ships to be a taxi driver just so that he could devote his time to his family. It got me thinking about this wild chase I am in again. What am I chasing really? Isn’t it to better the life of people I love and my life? But isn’t my life beside them much better than this roller coaster I am on? Anyway I have roughly planned my stay at home hehe:

This is such a touching story
In our modern society, these things can still happen. wow. IMO, I think the girl gives up on the guy too soon. Like she never even gave him a try; but when they hate each other like that, it’s tough too. I truly respect their selflessness to sacrifice their happiness to follow the family traditions, but why shouldn’t they make something out of it? the girl dismisses all possibility too soon. I don’t believe in the sort of crappy romances that start with people hating each other at first like in chick lit, but I do believe in the wonder of time. Given enough time, wounds can heal and bonds can be forged. It may not be love but it may be something close. heck, a friendship in a marriage is good enough in this situation in my opinion.
What I think (and this is related to my experiences as well) is that when youngsters are forced to do something, they have this tendency to rebel against that. Hence the girl’s negative feelings and impressions (like c’mon, such a handsome/ successful guy is like many girls’ dream. She got him delivered right to her feet and obviously she didn’t like that fact) when they first met. The guy’s situation was truly miserable and I don’t know what to make of it. A part of me thinks that he’s a coward for not fighting for his relationship and that he probably didn’t love his ex enough to protest the family decision; while another part of me recognizes his courage and filial love for the family. oh well.
hope they could work it out in the end. not that I would know anyway hahaha. This would make a nice romantic plot if it was not so real.
