I know I'm suppose to give a part 2 on my previous post... (RE: Things are never what they appear) but the moment for the topic has left the frontal lobe of my brain at the moment. Due to the given vacancy another issue has popped into my humble mind and I would like to share it with 'myah-peeps' out there.

Familiar with the term "other half" Well yes I would like to give a thought or two about the phrase.

NOTE: YES THE TITLE OF THIS POST IS MY OTHER HALF BUT I AM NOT GOING TO BE SHARING ANYTHING JUICY WITH YOU FOLKS SO…IF YOU ARE DISSAPOINTED THAT I'M NOT SHARING YOU CAN CLOSE THIS WINDOW AND SURF PORN INSTEAD

Anyways…

Yes…"My other half"….that word was kept in the darkest corner pit in my mind with the other stuffs which falls under "Things that I don't 2 hoots about", until one day when I first landed my job with that wonderful craft shop in that not-so-wonderful mall my boss introduced her husband to me like so…

Boss: Lee Lian…this is M***, my other half

WOW…. Never have I come across a reference like that. In my head it was just the other half of my salary…My other half……… I know the answer is obvious but why do they call it other half…why not…other quarter or…other one third. Why half…pretty childish question and yea obviously the clue to the answer lies in that cheesy line "You complete me" I could never comprehend that 'My other half' line…it disturbed me but yet I was curious. How can ONE person feel incomplete without the existence of another individual who is a stranger to you in the most parts of your life?

I was on a quest…. It was a dumb quest nevertheless; I mean how can you fucking find answers to questions that you are not even sure of? Is like a blind man asking what is blue. He has never seen blue and a person who HAS seen blue will find it bitchy to explain the color blue. Same questions that came to me…I have not been to the point where my soul's existence relies on someone else's. To me it was like trying to imagine David Copperfield wiping out the Statue Of Liberty from the face of the earth. Unimaginable but yet possible.

Also giving 'half' of your soul away to someone who is new in your life is just down right idiotic. That is why people get heartbroken in relationships. It's a case of the barter system gone wrong…you give and you give sincerely hoping that the other party will give you back an equal if not excessive trade in return. But only less then a handful could actually achieve that kind of level in what I call the "Relationship Nirvana" where everything is all peaches and cream with that occasional disagreements which only adds a little chili and masala to the pot. Perfect balance.

Balancing alone in the world today is a handful already, throw in your significant other along with their problems and what do you get. The impossible task of multi-tasking which I would put it in a way that….clowns don't do perfect juggles all the time. So when everything falls to the floor…what do you do? Abandon your thoughts about your 'other-half' and think maybe they're not that much of halves…get hurt and abandon future intention of dating someone from the opposite sex? (same sex dating is applicable) or devote yourself to Jesus Christ because He will never abandon you…In a way…if you're patient enough with Jesus…He'll be so bored of you one day that He'll leave someone worthy of your soul to be with you while He goes celebrating his good fortune of not having to see your suffer again.

If you were like me…skeptical about the issues of relationship trust me there will come a time when God will be so fed up with your denial nature that he will teach you a good lesson. This lesson will literally cut you into half and inviting someone else to come and fill in the other half (NGION I know you know what am I talking about…I understand how it was like right now) The reason for this act of selflessness is because you really want to be a part of that person and there is NO one else in the world that can be like that person. It's true…there is only one of us in the world. One Lee Lian…one Jing Ping…one Yu Ming etc… and that is it so it doesn't really matter how horrible our bad habits can be..it makes US…and that is the things that our special someone will see in us and put that whole concept of accepting as I've mentioned earlier…they are willing to take that bad habits of ours and probably make a change as the relationship goes along.

Let's face it…we can never be accepted 100% for who we are. SO this is my theory...put the term 'other half' into the picture. So let's say me and my smoking habits…someone accepted me as part of him…so he basically has smoking in his life which he is not fond of. Now put yourself in his shoes and imagine he has to walk around now with that bad habit that doesn't even belong to him. Pretty annoying don't you think?

Now think about the other person...me… Smoking is not part of him…neither is it part of me…its just an external attitude. Its not like I am suffering from a life long disease which will stay in my body for the rest of my life. Since it's a habit…it's pretty hard to kick off…understandable. But think about this in the long term…say after a few hundreds of boxes of Dunhill…you got asthma…or even worst…some lung failure shit. Now that is part of you in your body…wouldn't he suffer with you as well if you're his other half…wouldn't he feel the kind of pain that you'll feel everything you have difficulty breathing? He being part of you…wouldn't you feel helpless to see him feel helpless?

The problem with some people trying to change their better half in the name of "love" they just do it in a wrong way…they try to change their partner with a way that doesn't give them space…like give them choices….IT'S ME OR THE FOOTBALL!!! That's pretty unreasonable. People just don't know how to express themselves properly sometimes and also it's genetically built in us to be defensive. Once we start being defensive we shut down every possible explanation for the other person's actions.

I do admit some request by some people on their other half is terribly unreasonable…like most girls who hate their boyfriends hanging out with their buddies…that's just being downright silly.

So I guess….the other half of you is as real as real can be. Like my Sony Ericsson phone…I can see it…I can hear it…I can feel it…I can touch it…and I'll DEF feel it when it drops…….
