honestly, i am surprised to find that more than half of the men singles will carry their girlfriends' handbags and open up doors. so these gentlemen do still exist. haha. but yeah, this dr was saying that the attitudes revealed were "quite old-fashioned" since it has not yet established the equal opportunity for women. well, i don't find this as an issue at all. some of the gestures are simply courtesy. like sending the girlfriends home. to me, it is an act of responsibility. you bring the girl out of her nest, you'd better send the girl back to her nest in one piece. that's how the guy can impress the girl's parents. women nowadays are independent and more forward-looking in terms of careers, promotions but they're still the old-fashioned women who want to be loved and pampered. however, most of the women are egoistic and might not want to say it. am i including myself? hee... in my opinion, for now, education is the first priority. do what i want for now cause maybe once i'm in a serious relationship, i may not have the opportunity to fulfill my goals. if only i can be in a relationship. women nowadays are just so ambitious. we wanna do this and that. we multitask to accomplish our goals. in fact, we're trying to be superwomen. however, at times, we do need attention...but we're just too egoistic to admit so. haha. i read manja as well. was attracted to the interviews of nuraliza osman and rima melati. to be frank, they're my role models. they strive and work hard to achieve what they're aiming for. like what nuraliza said, "education is the only thing that can change a woman's life." unfortunately, rima has just gone through a divorce. actually, to me, she's not ready for a committed marriage. she's just too ambitious since she admitted that she doesn't wanna regret for not doing things that she dreams of when she becomes old. hmmm, true. and i don't really think her ex-husband suits her anyway. she deserves much better. oops. hee. that's why. achieve the dreams and goals. then, settle down. or maybe like what nuraliza mentioned, "we need a partner who understands us, motivates us and at the same time, shares our dreams and hopes." but it does take two hands to clap.
at times, i do wish i've someone to be there for me. but i'm just too serious when it comes to this kind of relationship. i want that partner of mine to be a life-long one. and for now, guys are still totally not matured yet. haha. anyway, most of the times, i do feel really foolish for thinking that oh-i'm-so-unlucky-not-to-have-a-guy and oh-where-is-he and why-can't-i-have-one. stupid. it's just not the time yet. i've other things to focus on. especially studies. then, career. what about my parents? haiz. sometimes, i think i won't get married at all. haha.
