Earlier on, I was in deep introspection. And no, it was not about what i should get on my next shopping spree. I was thinking, how true it is that they say relationships do actually mold us into the person we are today, and attributes to our percepts and mindsets. In retrospect, i'm flabbergasted with my choices-guys i had been with.
What i had in mind of a perfect guy then was totally different from now.

My dream guy used to have to be:
-handsome/cute/suave
-humourous
-bad boy demeanour (or; *shivers*-a bengster-maybe that was kinda why i was so into sylvester sim)
-someone i felt comfortable with
-a sweet schmoozer (yikes)

And i got together with guys who were so not on the same wavelength as me. Precisely why they never seem to last. (for the record, my longest was a 7 month relationship and 5 days for the shortest)
I can't believe i could actually be so smitten to someone from an entirely different world as moi. (not saying they're aliens,of course); the thing is, it was more of an issue to get into a relationship then; oh, you know: when you were in secondary school- the period where being confined with a dozen other adolescents who are so desperately wanting to be attached could get you finding yourself jumping on the bandwagon. Girls always bragging about whose boyfriend/girlfriend was cuter; or a familiar specter:
["My boyfriend bought me a gucci wallet for christmas-what?! your's only got you a guess wallet?" (imperceptible sniggers) ]
-which i concur now was really imprudent.

Major hugsies to myself (and kisses)**. I reckon i've become more sensible to what i really want.
And through those experiences, I've came up with a delectable concoction of my ideal guy-or girl ;)
Of course, i do acknowledge the inscrutable fact that our hearts can be more manipulative than our minds at times and has nothing to do with what we initially looked for in a partner.
But who cares. Till then, I can still blatantly declare unreasonable requirements.

The ingredients for a perfect concoction to my perfect guy-or girl.

1. 1/2 cup of anomalous character and understanding
2. a generous amount of stimulating intellect
3. an equally large helping of wittiness
4. an ounce of schmaltziness
5. a pound of humour
6. a dash of endearing idiocy (eg.an anglophonic like me, perhaps)
7. a pinch of musical talent
8. 2 1/2 tablespoons overwhelming sense of security to offer
9. 2 pints of fashion sensibility
10. a teaspoon of implacable zest and resolute
11. sifted with unmeasurable understanding and loyalty
12. Brewed over an undying blazing fire of love
    

Bon-appetite!
