confessions & rejections

with my recent lee hom obsession, ive been youtubing a couple of his vids and came across this one...



it's him hosting an mtv show and becos his album title is "heartbeat", he was sharing an incident in his past, where his heart beat and his face became red due to confessing his feelings to someone..(it sounds better in chinese)..

so for those dat don't understand chinese, basically this incident happened in college and he liked this girl called sharon but none of his friends knew her..then somehow he decided to compose a song for her and actually performed it in front of her and told her dat the song is for her..the result wasnt dat great with awkwardness and her saying after the performance, "that was weird.." (correct me if i got the translation wrong..haha..)

hahaha i had to crack up cos this was wang lee hom! do u kno how many females absolutely love him?? i cant imagine wat dat girl sharon must be feeling now..to have rejected a guy like wang lee hom..poor him..

then all of this kinda reminded me of my own experience..ive only ever "confessed" once and dat was AGES ago and nothing eventuated..well it was prob a mistake to have done it in the first place cos he was so wrong for me..up to this day, i still dunno wat i liked abt him..but wat i realised after dat experience is, telling someone dat u like them is a very brave thing to do and i'm glad i did it in person and not via technology..(this reminds me of dat song "ayo technology" by 50 cent)..and i also realised it's a very embarrassing thing to do as well which i shall never ever do again! cos really, i reckon it's the guy's job to do it..so kudos to guys who are brave enuf to tell the girl dat they like them..

but then on the other side of the story, there's obviously no guarantee dat the other person likes them back..ive been on the receiving side as well and i think knowing how it feels to confess to someone does alter the way i reject ppl..like i wouldn't be like sharon and say "gosh u r weird" cos dat would be too mean..

it's all good if the feelings r mutual..and usually as a girl, u're like YES! he finally did something abt it..but it's a bit embarrassing if it's one sided..it's a bit of a challenge to tell someone u absolutely dnt wanna be with them but still try to maintain the friendship..there's the danger dat they mite be persistent, which can be annoying..but so far, ive managed to maintain a few of the friendships..but obviously have lost some as well..but as a girl, id say rejecting someone does suck as well..to be the bearer of bad news is not a nice feeling but it's better to tell the truth than to lie and suffer..

and i have to say some of the ways dat guys confess are really quite entertaining..i reckon it's pretty sweet if a guy composes a song for u like lee hom did but obviously sharon wasn't very appreciative! i kno someone who told me abt the way one of her frens confessed to her..the guy told her to come to his room cos he wanted to talk to her abt something..she didnt have a clue abt wat it was abt so went anyways..when she showed up, the room was completely dark and he was lying in bed..(sounds strange already rite?) so she was standing there in the doorway..and then he started telling her abt how he liked her for a long time already since he saw her and the usual blah blah blah..obviously she said no..becos he wasn't her type at all..and then she left..the guy must have ended up crying in bed in the dark? haha..im so mean..but wat a strange way of confessing!

the moral of the story is..be brave if u wanna confess to a girl (or guy)..and if u're gonna reject someone, be nice abt it cos u never kno when it mite be ur turn to confess to someone else..
