I used to be a hopeless romantic



I so dig this video. :D :D The guy's super cute. (Hooray to shy guys! Had enough of TOO outspoken guys in NUS) It's super duper sweet. Perhaps it's because I've always wished that my love story was like that- the butterflies, the intense heart palpitations when our eyes meet, waking up everyday looking forward to seeing each other. Okay fine. I know, cliche right? I miss watching koreanjap&taiwanese dramas and dreaming of prince charming with Jessie, ClaraL, Kelly and other fellow hopeless romantics! I know I sound like some secondary school ah lianzx now. HAHAHA.

After all these years of silly infatuations, hopes and dreams, I've given up (sort of). Reality is harsh. Only the weird weird people or cheekopehs like me! Facebook has not been making any better! :( I find it impossible to imagine a future with any of them (anyone for that matter). Hahaha. Sigh.

Sometimes I think the media sensationalizes the concept of "love" too much. They seem to have a way of getting us to think this is what love is all about: finding the perfect person who is everything you've been dreaming of, then living happily after with romeo. Aiya but they have to do that I guess... if not who would go watch movies/buy cds (101 love songs.. HAHAHA) right?

I guess as you grow older you tend to become more cynical. Sorry correction. That's what university does to you. It was never "critical thinking"... More like "cynical thinking". Haha. Funny thing is, I'm still as hopeless as I was before I entered uni. Haha Good thing? I don't know.

I think its a lil of practical which borders on the cynical, because you realise the movie stuff isn't all that real. So cynicism is more about the movie stuff than love. anyways, nice song! ;P haha..
