"SA or NA?"
A frequent question asked since the first day I stepped into my uni. Funny… Is it important? By the way, for those who are yet to know what are "SA" and "NA", "SA" is the short form of "still available" while "NA" means "not available".
Available, ei? Is that equivalent to "single"? Em…
In western countries, boy-girl relationships start even in their teens (or even childhood; YIKES!). But I don’t think that statement is justified as nowadays we’ve that kind of situations all over the world, i believe. Being conservative, I could only frown as I read and listen to these stories. Totally outrageous, if you ask my opinion.
What is the main reason of building this boy-girl relationship? Love? Nonsense… Don’t they have their own parents to love? Can’t they just love their friends? Why must they get themselves a specific person of opposite sex to be loved?
Back to logical deductions… From where did these teens learn bout this boy-girl relationship? Their parents? Friends? TV programmes?
However even in the past, there were childhood marriages, arranged by the parents of the couple. But I assume those are only decisions of their parents. Could it be possible that those children fell in love with each other and asked their parents to arrange for their marriage?
So, how bout in the present? Do teenagers fall in love? Maybe they do but I prefer to call that as "crush" or "puppy-love". (But I wonder why is it puppy. Why not kittens? Maybe it’s because dogs are man’s best friend.)
Forget bout teens as I’m already in a university. How bout undergrads? So, do we fall in love? I’ve seen couples strolling around, hand-in-hand, arm-in-arm and etc etc. I wonder what are they thinking while they are walking. Their future, marriage, career, or just their coming exams?
Why do they get along then? They are in love with each other? If that’s the reason, I have to question "LOVE" (which I don’t think I’m capable of doing now). Any other reasons?
Or, maybe they just need someone to talk or share their feelings with. After all, we can’t live alone in this world (at least not anyone I know can). Skipping the root, I came to the fruit. I wonder how many of them will actually get married…
