At my favourite corner in Genting Highlands. A little later than I had anticipated, but it is better late than never.
Meanwhile, the thought of my eccentricity is still running through my mind like a song with an endless loop.
To me, life is different for everyone. We live according to our beliefs and choices.
Thus, it comes as no surprise that my possessions vary from that of my contemporaries.
Living in a family where Chinese values prevail, it is hard to fathom where my eccentricity originates. But it is not tough to guess that the clash of beliefs happen on a rather frequent basis.
However, it is good to note that in the eyes of the weirdo, you are the freak.
The Chinese culture, or even popular culture in general, measures the intrinsic success of a human being by the number acquaintances / soulmates a person has. This belief is so strong that people think that others who find themselves in a situation where acquaintances / soulmates are absent in their lives should seriously reflect upon themselves.
In my humble opinion, that is completely ridiculous.
If it is acceptable that someone might not find himself a partner or attain great wealth in his lifetime, why is it so unforgivable when someone is unable to find a soulmate?
Is there not the slightest possibility that perhaps a soulmate is not everyone's prerogative, just like physical appearance, luck or even love?
Life is a game of choice. You are free to choose, but just remember that every choice has its price.
When I chose to be who I am, I was ready to pay for any price that came along with that choice.
Is there a right or wrong in the game of life?
In my belief, I don't think so.
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm not.
