Are U Still Waiting?

I was on the phone with one of those bachelor (single, unattached or loose if u wanna call them hehehe) friends of mine n the first thing he asked was, "hey, how's ur married life?" I really wanted to say, "Wa lau eh!!! U dunno meh..!!? It's so very great... What U waiting for.?" but don't wanna kill that poor fella with my first sentence, I just said "I m good, my fren. How's urs?" and hopefully adding some humor, "when r U giving me the 'Big Red Bomb'?"

"No lar... still waiting n looking for the right wan" was his reply. The "Right One"?

Do we really or instinctively know who's the "Right One" when we see one? Many friends of mine hv told me that they know it "instinctively"... (and instinctively they r still waiting hor ) They know it by the 'feeling' of love. (I really wonder how they know so much hor... they never been 'attached' or 'pak toh' before ) So they r still 'waiting'

Here's an something to fill up ur day (if U r still 'waiting' lar har ) For those happily married friends, also continue read lor hahaha (someday, i sure kena hantam from my friends wan )

The Next Bus
============

You know, love is just like someone waiting for a bus. When the bus comes, you look at it and you say to yourself "eeee...so full... cannot sit down, I'll wait for the next one."

So you let that bus go and wait for the second bus. Then the second bus comes, you look at it and you say, "eeee...this bus is so old...so shabby!" So you let that bus go and again, decide to wait for the next bus.

After a while another bus comes, it's not crowded, not old but you say, "eeee... not air-conditioned ...better wait for the next one."

So again you let the bus go and decide to wait for the next bus. Then the sky starts to get dark as it is getting late. You panic and jump immediately inside the next bus. It is not until much later that you found out that you had boarded the wrong bus!

So you wasted your time and money waiting for what you wanted! Even if an air-conditioned bus comes, you can't ensure that the air-conditioned bus won't break down or whether or not the air-conditioner will be too cold for you.

So people... wanting to get what you want is not wrong. But it wouldn't hurt to give other people a chance, right? If you find that the "bus" doesn't suit you, just press the red button and get off the bus (as simple as that).

Hey...who said life is fair??? The best thing to do is be observant and open while you scrutinize the bus. If it doesn't suit you, get off. But you must always have an extra something which you could use for the next bus that comes.

But wait... I'm sure you've had this experience before. You saw a bus coming (the bus you want, of course), you flagged it but the driver acted as if he did not see you and zoomed past you! It just wasn't meant for you!

The bottom line is, being loved is like waiting for a bus you want. Getting on the bus and appreciating the bus by giving it a chance depends totally on you. If you haven't made a choice, WALK! Walking is like being out of love. The good side of it is you can still choose any bus you want... the rest who couldn't afford another ride would just have to be content with the bus they rode on.

One more thing.... sometimes it's better to choose a bus you are already familiar with rather than gamble with a bus that is unfamiliar to you. But then again, life wouldn't be complete without the risks involved.

But there's one bus that I forgot to tell you about - the bus that you don't have to wait for. It will just stop on its own and will ask you to come inside and take a free ride for the rest of your life.
