After so many years of watching cartoons and pondering who is the best action hero among Wolverine, Cyclops, Gambit and so on, I finally found my true love - Spiderman. Watched Spiderman 3 in JB yesterday and boy, it was worth the money. Spidey remained devoted to Mary Jane, though he enjoyed the attention of a new girl. Regardless, he will always be there for her whenever she is in trouble. Especially like the classic scene which they shared a kiss in the rain - he was hanging upside down :P How nice if I have the chance to try! Yummy! I always believe that it is important to have a partner who is always there for you, be it in good times or bad times. Otherwise, what's the point of sacrificing sacred singlehood?
This morning, my eldest Aunt came, like every other day, Whenever she comes, we cringe because we know that she is either here to make Gramps angry by spouting nonsense or ask for money. Despite the small sum of 10 bucks, we are reluctant to give her not because we are stingy; but because it will encourage her to remain unemployed. All along, Eldest Aunt was looked upon as "The Educated One" - She was versed in Chinese literature, calligraphy, history and arts. However, after a failed marriage, she gave up on herself and embarked on Buddhism. Not that the religion is bad, but when a troubled person shifts all her priorities into one aspect, it becomes addiction. This happened to Eldest Aunt. She was very into the religion and neglected everything, including her daughter. As a result, the latter hated her for not being there with her during her teenage years and it did not help when she used physical and verbal violence on Eldest Aunt. She became mentally unstable and a few months back, she was in the mental institution for depression. She managed to get out of the place, but things did not help - She didn't want to work because she mentioned that there was somebody out there trying to make her life miserable; and she spends most of her time wandering in shopping malls and beaches. Many a time, Gramps tries to knock sense into her, but to no avail...
Guess this is a sad example of a person withering away due to a failed marriage. Believed there are many people out there who are also like that, but there are also many people who became stronger after the ordeal. Sounds very scary huh? I believe it is very important to choose the Significant One carefully to lower the probability of a failed marriage. That is why the factors of money, career, values and family must be seriously considered.
Last Friday, went for a splendid seafood dinner at Jojo's uncle's stall in Newton Circus. Met up with Ellen (Lee)'s boyfriend - As usual, he is a blue-eyed guy who is working in Singapore as a designer since last November. What raises eyebrows is that he is 9 years younger than Ellen. Well, love doesn't speak about age eh? For me, as a traditional Chinese, I would always go for older and not younger guys. I would want the guy to take care of me, and not the other way round. Then again, there is a market for everyone. Anyway, they appeared to be lovey dovey. Happy for Ellen : ) All the best to you, girl!
