"In an Open Relationship" Part 2

These past two weeks, the articles in Sunday's StarMag are all about open relationships. Apparently the argument is that people have a lot of love to give so why confine it to one partner and restrict yourself. The article also points out that sometimes its not all about sex!

Well, my point - if you claim to have so much love to give and its not all about sex, why not give love (emotions not organs) to the countless orphans around, arent they so much more in need of any scraps of love you might have? What about the old folks who have been abandoned? Or the animals in RSPCA who beg only for a pat and a kind word?

Personally I am the kind of person who thinks "do what you want as long as you dont get into my face or the face of my loved ones". So its fine by me. But dont try to justify yourself etc. An affair is an affair.

Yeah yeah in an open relationship, all parties know about each other blah blah blah so it cant be an affair. I dont get it la!

I think at the end of the day, man is selfish. What do I get in return? Sex? Good conversation? Expensive dinners?

Its a bit like the "marrying 4 law". You can marry four wives since the holy book says you have to take care of widows and orphans.

Argument 1: You can take care of widows and orphans without marrying them. (Oooohh, newsflash)

Argument 2: The rule was made during the post war period when there were lots of widows and orphans. We are not at war now.

Argument 3: Celebrities are quite often neither widows nor orphans.

Argument 4: Widows and orphans can be looked after by single men and not those already married and/or with kids.

So please, dont justify yourself. I am no self-righteous freak but I think some things are best left unchanged.

The Car Hierarchy

Whenever I drive on the highway, I realise that we have a hierarchy depending on the type of car we drive.

I drive a Wira 1.5 SE (I know I always pretend its a Ferrari but lets get real for a bit, solely for the purpose of this blog). When I drive on the right lane, I only give way to faster cars that are more expensive than mine (unless they are REALLY fast of course). And I notice that these drivers expect me to, just like how I expect owners of Proton Sagas, other Wiras and the whole Perodus range to make way for me!

I automatically move over to the middle when the car behind me is a Toyota, Accord or Merc. And these big guys give way to bigger guys with a BMW, Audi or Lexus, who in turn respect Jaguars, Hummers, Rolls Royces and Ferraris.

But of course everyone has to make way for the humble ambulance la. Oh and dont forget the 'privileged people' who have (unnecessary) police outriders!

Also, I notice that Malaysians generally dont like it when a Singaporean car tries to overtake, and ignore the flashing headlights (which are by the way, EXTREMELY rude).

Sometimes its the Kancils and Kelisas and Vivas which flash their lights - like as if their engines are more powerful than mua! Quite annoying. So macam bagus! Boleh blah!
