Of Princes & Princesses

Yep today was D D game (read: D Dating game)..

Oh the speaker, Mr. Peter made us sing a song, "I wanna be your friend", but worse! We had to dance to it, with a member of the opposite gender (I have the video). Later we played the popular reality game show, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Since I escaped dancing and with everyone's backing, I decided to give this a go, why not? Ashley Goh called me a nerd up front and I was like . . . So to prove her a point, I lost the first round. The question was, "What are the odds of you being conceived?" She chose 1 in 200 million, and I chose 1 in 2 billion (after consulting the church doctor). At first I thought I would win cuz' the doctor was on our half of the hall, but apparently he switched camps...

Fired up to win, the next question was, "When are you special? At.." I took the question to be when were you first special, cuz when you were first special you will remain special, unless something happened and it took away your specialness. Haha. So confidently I said at conception, and Ashley said now. But I was wrong again as the answer was at conception, birth and now.. seriously swt

Yes I've digressed..

Coming back to business, I've learnt a new word today. It's called, "courtship". Dating is in fact a game. It involves 2 parties with no commitment, kind of like hi bye sort of thing. I don't think it's in my dictionary. I've heard it many times over the past few weeks that God chooses our life partner and He said to Adam, "It's not good for you to be without a helper", and so He made Eve. God in all His wisdom, knows D perfect life partner for you and me. Tell me, which bible character ever dated? Yep no one. I'm not anti-dating but I think it's not the right word to be used cuz it involves no commitment.

Unless the word that you are thinking of is "courtship". Which is a whole different story. Courtship usually has marriage in mind. Someone told me that we should think of the end before starting something, meaning, we should have our objectives clear from the start. If you're just in it for fun/peer pressure/proving a point, it's better to have 20 roller coaster rides, after all it doesn't hurt anybody. So what is your objective?

Mr. Peter also mentioned about treating the other person like a member of the royalty. Respect. We've heard it many times that girls should be treated like princesses but to treat a guy like a prince?!?! (someone help me on this). So people, in conclusion, do not waste your youth away like King Solomon said, but rather enjoy the days of your youth, for it's only once in a lifetime.

p.s. Ash Li happened to ask me if I will marry the girl I date..
