Interesting character: Linda, tall, slim and straightened hair. Big, big eyes. Nice teeth. Mid thirties. Cigarette in hand and orange juice on the table in a pub.
Linda: You know, all men are attractive in some way or other. It could be a smile, his eyes, his voice or even a nice butt. I always notice a man’s hand when I am first introduced. Men have wonderful ways with their hands. I would surrender myself to a wonderful pair of hands if the circumstances are right.
I have known so many men. Few have been sincere. They make all kinds of promises. Men would promise me the moon if they could.
Eventually ( lambat laun ), their true colours emerge. They are only after one thing. Whatever they can get. They know I have lots of land. I have a fixed job. They will treat me like a queen. I always try to delay the moment but the day always arrives when I can delay it no more.
After their mission is achieved, I could sleep on the floor for all they care forgetting all the sweet nothings they have just uttered in the heat of the moment. ( semua sedap sedap tu tak pakai lagi ) Nobody really loves me. My mother is too old to care. There are so many men out there. I could just smile and sooner or later, another one is snared. I enjoy men. They keep me happy.
I don’t have an insensitive heart. ( hati kebal ) There are rumours about me but do you seriously think I care? ( lovely gay laugh ) I would be stupid to care. In a few more years, I would have even less friends.
It is not about being taken advantage of. It works both ways. As long as I take precautions. I stopped falling in love years ago. In this world everything is double standards.
Hanya rumput di padang yang sayangku. ( Only the grass in the fields love me ). Bukan manusia. ( Not humans ) Bukan saja laki pemburu. Perempuan pun boleh memburu. ( It is not only the man who is the hunter. Dalam dunia ini, siapa tak ingin kecapi kebahagiaan? ( In this world, who doesn’t want happiness?
It is the sad truth about relationships…
a lot of the initial burst of enthusiasm is spurred by lust, unfortunately n then when commitments loom, some do shy away
Sometimes…when we are too rich or beautiful etc. it is really hard to tell if that someone really loves us.
you have found yr true love. that is all that matters
Surely there is someone out there who is capable of loving Linda or any woman like her if she is able to persevere….love cannot be taken lightly….and it is hardowrk actually to love someone…God even allows his only Son to die!!
Sometimes when buses come n go and then leave luggage behind, one’s heart grows weary after a while
Well, I believe there are too many single women in Malaysia. There was once I wrote about how is it possible there are so many single beautiful women in Malaysia. Where are all the men whom they should be paired with.
A man’s worst weakness will forever be lust. It takes a man with a big heart and strong mind to stay sincere. I guess that’s why it should be okay for couples to talk about other things they like about a person they see. Open and honest.
It is a sign of the changing times? But one can be hurt so many times and be hurt no more
this is kind of sad, hope she finds someone that truly loves and hope she opens herself to that kind of love.
she believes it has all been pre-ordained that it is her destiny n she has to live it out
