To my feminist friends out there, or to female friends who tend to read too deeply into meanings, don't read this entry! I don't mean it as serious as i sound.
Finally home! Been a long and great day!
Went to recce Botanical Gardens for tmr's picnic, and it's the first time i am there =/ Yeah i know a bit no childhood but it's a bit off from where i stay. The parks i used to go to when i was young was Yishun Park =x
After that, went down to the MBA Tour with Trina. Heard and learnt many things, and in a way, it provided a direction for me to go towards and a great way to prepare my mentality in starting off my career.
One of the speakers commented on GMAT scores. If he had wanted to rise the GMAT average of the university, he would simply just need to bring in more mainland chinese and India indians. Hilarious.
My pursuit of MBA. In 4 years time. Pretty reasonable =)
Today's talks with friends centered on many topics, but i like to bring up two in particular. Haha as a social science student, this is what i am interested in so pardon me. Please note that it means no offense to anyone and it's just purely for discussion purposes. And to make this really clear, it may or may not have happened to me, but it has definitely happened to the people around me.
Firstly, there is this emergence of the new generation women. Not to say there wasn't any before, because there certainly were, but it is now a much sizeable population, that it's becoming a trend. This group of NGW, because of the change in era, is well educated, places career very high up on their priority list and will do anything just to climb the corporate ladder. Don't tell me there ain't any, because I have personally see dozens.
In another term put forward, they are like vines climbing on trees, and when the trees do not grow as fast as these vines, they climb onto another taller tree. The definition of trees is to your own interpretation. This is very evident in the society now. Look around you. Accept it because this is the fact. NGW no longer wants to put their lives at risks with some poor idiot fellow even if he is at the same phase as them because why settle when there is a better option out there, or some greener pastures for you to expand across.
So i've been telling, or rather the guys have agreed, with money and status, we can do whatever we want. Indeed. Life is a rat race. And only the fittest survives. We need to be realistic because that's how women will treat us. When we are 30 or 35, then we will play. And our value will just go up from here. Watch us rise, watch us play.
There is no right or wrong, just the evolution of the society. We don't get graduates everywhere in the past. Now you can't live comfortably without a degree. Males have evolved into being homemakers. Females have evolved too into driven career-minded species. And we must all accept that. Because with acceptance comes happiness.
Next point, I think that yes when we were all younger, we tend to date in a supersonic manner. It's fine when you are young, and when you are passionate. But i think we all ought to really slow down. Take things real slow. When you rush, when you speed up the process, things don't last 40-50 years.
What i am saying is, slow down and enjoy the process. Slow down that first holding of hands, slow down that first kiss, slow down all the emotions. Savour them when they come and feel them fully ... cos only so then you learn to appreciate .. cos only so then it makes for a healthy relationship.
Please don't go bam bam bam bam then you lose that spark, you lose the passion, and everything becomes boring. Everything becomes repetitive. Then you start to wonder whether the two of you are just together because of habit and comfort. BUT SERIOUSLY WHO THE HELL CAME UP WITH THIS STUPID THOUGHT? Why can't habit and comfort be based on love? That idiot that comes up with this thought that 2 persons being together for a long time and still being together should always ask themselves if it's cos of habit is just being extra and creating problems for themselves.
Thing about humans is this, if it's a 'negative' question, they will all tend to overthink it and then convince themselves there are elements of truth in it. Please shoot that person. Grrrr.
My point is this, take things slow. Enjoy the process, and treasure it. Because when the pace of life becomes hectic(practically for everyone), we WILL overlook all these things and start taking things for granted when it's just there.
Okay just food for thought. Good night!
