ramblings

i was wondering what was the statistics for long distance relationships, or as jo puts it 'ohhh. so LDR' and i guess it means you live a considerable distance apart.
i used to think it meant you live in a different country. but apparently, australia is one huge country and i know people who live in 2 seperate states.

like how many actually end up together after all that.

cause according to my psych textbook, the top three conditions for a relationship to start are geographical, similar interest and something else... ah well, you can't expect me to remember can you? especially since i read that damn thing once, the night before final exams. HAHA

in my group alone, there's lily, jack, kim(she sees him every weekend but they still live in different areas), johannes and me.

on a side note, all of us are dating people older than us, including the guys, not sure about johannes though.

and johannes was driving us and we were having a conversation about all of the relationships and i felt either really mature or really bad.

kim's giving up her career to be with her bf
johannes' gf is moving from NZ to be with him
pan also wants to settle down, when she meets the right guy
lydia wants to marry and can feel her biological clock ticking
eric's going to propose when he graduates

all these crazy people are 19+

and i'm this 17 year old thinking to myself 'you study for 3 years and want to throw it all away'
my vision of myself in 5 years is definitely not a stay home mum
its me, a career woman, making a ton of money, maybe considering marriage but definitely not married yet.

is it the singaporean mentality that we all put careers before personal life?

a bit confusing.
but oh well
i'm only 17

to put it into perspective, romeo and juliet decided they'd rather die than go on without each other at fifteen
crazy teenage hormones, unchanged since 1800

anyway, i'm off to help out with a function. there's never a dull day in hospitality... even on a freakin sunday. oops, sabbath. sorry God. can't go to church today..

oh yeah, i got 80% for my fine dining serving thingo.
i guess i'm ok with it...
