Heard a colleague's relationship story last week and was affected, somehow.

she was telling us abt her past relationship. the guy came from a well-to-do family with 'good' family background and his parents are very religious. they expect their future daughter-in-law to be 1) very traditional 2) has certain qualification 3) holding a job that is of respect/ esteem (eg: teachers/ lawyers)

the reason why the two of them cannot be together is 1) her highest qualification is a 'N' level cert 2) her job is in some office as a normal front office agent

so i asked a very bold question:
so he broke up with you coz of that?

and i heard a very disappointing answer. the spotlight dimmed.

she continued with 'his parents are paying for all his expenses. his car, his bills, his allowance.'

never felt so disgusted. and i got to know that his current gf is a teacher.
they broke up because of external conditions. because one party succumb to the comfort of life. the lure of temptation.
not because they dun hav feelings for each other.

seems so much like the plot we see so often in drama series. and it sux knowing that the more money and power one has, the less possible it is to gain freedom. to enjoy the simplicity in life.

alright. who am i to comment on stuff like that?

for richness or for love.
can we all take the risk and fall in love instead of risking the love and end up with nothing.

my world hasnt been revolving. it's your worlds that are revolving..
