the interrogation

It was around seven pm or so at fong seng after arts central Bible study for dinner with some of the arts comm, consisting of many girls, Clement and me...

I sort of forget how we ended up on this topic, but somehow in the course of what we were talking about i mentioned in passing the fact that i have never had any feelings of that sort for any girl at any point in time of my life so far.

*cue huge gasps of disbelief and amazement from all the six females at the table*

For me, i couldn't see what was the big deal, i mean, like that is like that ma... But clearly members of the opposite sex think very differently from yours truly.

(Note to self: one thing to never do is to bring up such subjects in the case whereby you are severely outnumbered in terms of guys versus girls.)

So what eventuated was not one, not two, but SIX girls fielding me all sorts of questions of that kind, which apparently i answered in ways that only emphasized my initial utterance, causing yet more gasps from the girls. To say that their interest was piqued would be a gross understatement.

Some samplings of the questions asked/ comments made just now and my responses to them:

One of the girls: "But surely you must find some girls pretty right?"
moi: "Ya lah of course lah duh, i'm not like blind or anything like that, but find pretty not equals to like ma..."

Another one of the girls: "Don't you ever think about getting married?"
moi: "Erm, not really, as it happens, then so be it lor..."

Yet another one of the girls: "Maybe you have the gift of celibacy..."
moi: "???"

I mean, why should the pressure be on us guys to go out searching for a girl, while the girls are allowed to wait patiently for a guy to find them (as agreed upon by the entire conference of girls at dinner just now)? Whatever happened to female empowerment and all that?

Anyways, the strangest thing, methinks, is that i was more than comfortable being confronted with such questions, as intriguing as they ever got. And somehow i can't get over the fact that so many people are interested in such trivial matters of my own...

Haha...

Had a good swim this morning, and hopefully an equally good run tomorrow night. Yup, my dear ippt, i am not going down without a fight...
