Aiyo, I tell you, yesterday on the North-South Line, I witnessed one real-life drama. I was just minding my own business, then this young couple—maybe early 20s like that—standing right in front of me.
The guy, wah lao, cannot stop talking. He keep badgering the poor girl with the most “insecure” questions ever.
“But baby, why you like me? No really, out of so many guys, why you give me chance? I don’t get the logic leh.”
He was literally trying to use maths and science to justify why they are together. The girl? Her face was damn sian. You can see her soul leaving her body with every question. She just stared at the MRT map like she wanted to jump out at the next station.
I was thinking, “Abang, if you keep asking, she really going to regret giving you that chance.” Seriously, the vibes were so off. You look at her face, you just know this kind of relationship is the “fast come, fast go” type. She looked beyond turned off, like she was reconsidering every life decision that led her to this train carriage.
Then the best part? The train reach Yishun, and the guy finally get off. I was like, “No wonder lah.” Everything makes sense now. Yishun Man. HAHAHA. ok jokes aside, the girl face really very sian.
The moment the doors closed, the girl looked like she could finally breathe again. If I were her, I would have changed my number before the train hit Khatib.
Logic & Emotion
This guy looks like very book smart but he like trying justify emotions and relationships with “1” and “0”, wah piang you want talk logic to your girlfriend asking her justify her feelings like that sure gone case.
Sometimes we as Singaporeans although many of us are educated but the level of emotional intelligence is next to zero.
