Tonight was probably the last night out with Danny, drinking near Raffles Hall... He's leaving Singapore real soon.
we discussed what kind of people we'd like to spend time with... people we can have good engaging conversations with.
probably people who have an optimistic outlook on life, who engage it with a smile, who look forward to experiencing life and learning from it. people who are open minded, who want to learn from you as much as you want to learn from them. people who make an effort to engage and understand.
i cannot really out my finger on it, it's just a vibe, a feeling, but with it time flies with someone, and conversational times are never wasted, and you always look forward to keeping in touch with that person.
danny and i obviously feel we fit into that category... then there's probably gabe (hawaii), adam (indian canadian), irfan (pakistani canadian), mai (who has something on with danny, vietnamese), tiffany (taiwanese american), phi (thai), amelia (iowa white farm girl) .. probably a few others that i cannot remember.
we also discussed people who we'd not want to spend time with, those people would probably bore us with their pessimism or disinterested attitude towards the world that exists outside their tiny ones.... or piss us off because of their close-minded attitude towards things....
but i'm being too judgemental. i guess, to each his own, and people will flock to people who are like them. i'm open-minded and love to engage and learn, so i'll flock to people who are like me. others will have their own friends, and maybe everyone is equally happy at the end of the day.
