NO YES NO YES NO NO NO NO!!!!!!

So far I’ve told just 3 people about the so-called target. No I mean just 3 people know who she is. I’m glad I didn’t tell many others cos after much thinking, my answer is NO. I have decided not to make a move.

Reasons for:
(In order of importance)

1. She might be a Christian!
2. If I don’t strike, when else will someone like her come along?
3. Drop it like it’s HOT! I think she’s wayyyy hot enough!!!
4. She’s older than me. (As usual!!!)
5. She’s doing something related to what I’m doing. Thinking about the future, we might be colleagues or a husband-wife team. Better still, we could learn from each other’s mistakes and become better professionals.
6. She might have important connections which I might need in the future.
7. I really DO feel as if I could connect with her (though I’ve felt like that many times before and was wrong =P). I don’t claim I love her because I don’t know her well enough.

Reasons against:
(In order of importance)

1. She may not be a Christian.
2. I’ve got studies to contend with along with family and church commitments.
3. I’m still young anyway and getting attached isn’t exactly a priority for me. To be honest, I’ve got no need nor time for a partner. But at least, she’d understand since she’s in the same field as me. Again, that’s not always the case.
4. She’s older than me. (Maybe I’ve to try someone younger and be NORMAL for a change)
5. We might end up quarreling over work. Architects are proud people.
6. I might end doing all her homework.
7. I might get sick of that kind of person. You know…
8. I’ve overcome language barriers before but it isn’t easy. I’ve got the feeling that she speaks Chinese and I speak English. Also, I can’t speak Chinese very well, and that could be well embarrassing.

I don’t think I’m being cowardly or anything. I’ve never been one to shy away from a pickup line, though actually, I’m shy lah, just gung ho on the outside only (just like all guys haha).

Still, come next week, when I see her again, it could ALL change again. I don’t know, but for now, I’ll just lay low and restrain any unnecessary advances. I think that’s being fair to her as well. If I’m certain for her compatibility, than well, Hannah might be right. I’m going to get married. BUT far from that. Precaution first, use brains first.

Damn… if only I know what she’s thinking… girls, girls… *sighzzzz*

"life is such, such is life" sounds dumb but it's a true fact? =)

"God called to him... And he said, "Here I am" (Exodus 3:4)
Pray and hear what He says. He knows better than us. Go bless you!

right thanks... yeah that's true in a way. still, i've always found that to be a problem. i mean, what IF indeed its God's calling and how would i know it?

When pple ask me that question, i'd normally say that you WILL just know, God will make it obvious. Unfortunately, when applied, its much more difficult.

Great quote from Exodus btw, since God was actually calling Samuel. hahaha...

thanks gill... i've made up my mind as of Monday 11.33pm Singapore Time. The answer is NO... well.. i mean i wouldn't mind knowing her better. but i seriously doubt i would go much furthur cos i'm going back to melb etc etc. and you know, i don't want to lead her on when i myself feel i can't make a commitment.

BUT i will definitely know her better as time passes... promise. =D
