Chocolate Bars vs. Steaks

Today, we were sort of talking cock during our HP102 tutorial... Finished presentation and received feedback already so we were just sort of waiting for the other groups to go through their's with Mario...

Crystal's cousin called to ask if $220 for a bouquet of 99 roses was expensive.. Tt became the focal point of our discussion.. We all agreed tt he would regret his decision to buy such a big bouquet for his would-be-gf one day... You give her such a big bouquet now, then the next time, what are u going to get her? U definitely cannot downgrade and buy her a small bouquet of 9 or 12 roses liao... But heard he's rich so it's ok i guess...

But we girls agreed tt if given a choice, we would rather he had spent tt money on a nice piece of jewellery for us... Afterall, flowers wither and we throw them away... Aahhh... But a piece of jewellery is different... If you are going to spend more than 30bucks on a bouquet, i'd rather u buy a nice dress or a pair of pumps for me...

When I received tt bouquet of 20 roses from SL on my birthday, was kinda taken aback... Seriously didn't think he would remember my birthday and he even got the delivery man to bring it to hall... Well, previously it was always some other more thoughtful gifts like clothes, bags... Basically things to make myself look good and use... Some ppl envied tt big bouquet but to me, I knew what it meant... He couldn't be bothered to hunt for a nice gift and just chose the easy way out... Flowers that wither and die... The money he spent could have gone to a nice pair of shoes or even a bag i think...

Crystal then told us about a girl that was with her boyfriend but they weren't tt stable and when another guy came along, the girl broke up with her boyfriend to be together with the new guy... The point here was tt they were unstable not in the sense tt they were quarreling everyday and making life miserable for each other kind...

I guess sometimes, the feeling is gone but you see no reason in breaking up coz u are already too comfortable with the familiarity tt the 2 of u share... It's not like he's making u feel miserable and unloved... But deep down u know tt he is not the one for u and tt u are still waiting... For this girl, maybe the new guy gave her the reason to leave tt love-less relationship... And when they mourn the parting, it's only coz they will miss being very comfortable and familiar with one another... Tt kind of familiarity needs a lot of time and effort for a couple to share...

Sometimes, a couple get together not really of love... Or u choose to be with someone only coz he loves u and u know he'll treat u well... But he's not the one... He's just the Chocolate Bar to fill ur tummy while u wait for ur Steak to arrive... Snacks can only be Snacks... They'll never turn into a fulfilling meal tt will warm u and make u feel satisfied... Like in life, u can't survive on snacks alone... U need to eat proper meals...

I'm not saying it's wrong to have tt Chocolate Bar... They are sweet and nice to have while u wait for the next meal... But I guess we just have to remember tt like eating too many Chocolate Bars will give u cavities and spoil ur appetite for dinner later, having too many "boyfriends" will cause u to "look ugly" and u might just miss The One...

Chocolate Bars can brigthen ur day and help u move on while u wait for the next Steak... I'm serious, think about it... =)
