Life is a Lark...Not!
A Mentally and Emotionally Exhausting Endeavor by Bernager Teh Aik Hong
(07 July 2001) Editor's Note: A few years back, I had the hots for this married guy. Guiltily, I confessed to one of my friends about it, expecting a long lecture on morality. I got this email instead, and it goes to show that true friends are people who are able to sympathize but at the same time straighten you out.
(11 May 1999) Mahal kita Princess Claire, just send me mail REGULARLY, but not a breathless 9K of such long mail after a long breath-holding silence! And I'll be forever indebted to you!!!
Anyway, glad to have received such a long, nostalgic personal mail. At least it still convinces me that you've not lost interest in me yet. Though the long silence had been rather misleading and worrying...
So you have been so busy; busy with your computer, arubatio, lessons, and busy flirting with a married guy! You really have tried your fingers at everything and anything...Being your friend-cum-naturalist, I encourage you to go ahead and sweep him off his feet! It's not your fault to feel for him, nor his fault to have got married. Blame all these on Mother Nature. At your age it's like boy-hunting season, oops or I should say (married) man-hunting season. He's just too charming for you to overlook him, I know. Or biologically speaking, it's just one of those innate animal urges, and congrats you are functioning very well as a mature woman!
Remember, since it's Mother Nature's game, play according to her rules.
That's nothing like "first come first serve"; shit to it. Only the rule of the survival of the fittest. Man is no different from any other animal, except he has better, unnecessary, misleading, counter-productive, godawful, detrimental, intoxicating intelligence. Yep, since you have it, USE it! Useituseituseituseit! Talk less, stare into his eyes more, give him your you-know-I-cherish-this-moment-with-all-my-soul smile, or that little I-have-been-waiting-for-this-moment-all-my-life finger hug. You know you can do it! Power of Claire! Or dress the ninja style and give him a huge bear hug from behind, then disappear before he even realizes he has been hugged...Believe in yourself! Hahahaha...
Well well, you know you deserve something better, most preferably an UNMARRIED man. Still, since the universal of the Second Law of Thermodynamics has been stating that the entropy of the universe can by no means decrease but just keeps increasing, no one shall blame you even if you bring disorder into that charming guy's married life. You are just functioning perfectly well as a member of the universe! So you can choose to go ahead or not, but don't ask me as I'll just ask you to come here. Phew!
I don't see much new disorder in my life, as it has always been such a massive disorder since I was born. I joined a guitar club last month, and am now practising do-re-mi everyday. I swear I'll dedicate a song to you the next time we meet, even if it's only 50 years after. We can live that long, though we don't know if it's desirable.
Well those balderdash above have robbed me of tremendous time, and now have got to go. Talk about the inconvenience of not having a computer of my own...
From my heart, better not to engage yourself into something that is so mentally and emotionally exhausting. (^x^)
