Sorry, I just felt like posting this video, great song :)
Here's a follow up on an excerpt of Amirul's blog:
I learnt that yeah, writing songs for someone, about someone is not good enough. Writing songs. I don't write songs anymore because I can't write anymore about anyone else to describe any situation. Today at the esplanade I watched with them this local singer called Shirlyn who was really singing so beautifully and well, I was thinking how she ever got the inspiration to write everything.
Writing all these songs basically stem from past relationships, relationships you're in and your take on each and everyone of them. I guess basically every song has this hidden message of love behind it even if it's just one word, or one verse or even one note.
I learnt that buying stuff doesn't really help.
Let me tell you what I've bought. I've bought tulips, I've bought cookie cakes, I've bought mentos, I've bought green tea. I bought a Prints box, a Prints Photoalbum, printed photos, wrote in it, bought a Nicholas Sparks book, folded paper cranes but no-
Nothing did work.
Yeah, money wasted. I got thanks and hugs and smiles are return but nothing more. What more did I want? What more could I even ask for? To that, I have no answer. A relationship? Maybe, but I feel that answer is just not right. i was not looking for a relationship, just...that inexplicable want.
Right. We've all been through this step - rejected, reject others.
Oh well. What has come to past has became a valuable lesson to me. Gone were the days where I immaturely pursued a girl's love with presents, mushy messages and lots of sincerity. Seriously, I thought they would work, accompanied with lots of sweet tongue and all those lovey dovey things you see on television serials.
Now I know who to trust - not those stupid television dramas, not those romantic movies, and definitely not Parvesh! (LOL)
What seemed like a wooing strategy for us guys (all the romantic candlelit dinner, buying hella lots of gifts and declaring your undying love for her) is just a complete turn off for the ladies.
Like, really turn off.
Not logical? Nevermind, let me put this across - the effect all this "wooing strategy" have is simple, you make her scared of you, she puts up your defences and WHAM. Bye for a century.
And yes I did lose contact with a girl because of this for like, 2 years?
Why is that so?
Simple.
It's the same effect as a 80 year old aunty with wrinkled skin and rotten teeth coming up to you and declaring you her undying love and giving you lots and lots of presents! SCARY.
But...
For guys, it's going to be different when some hot sizzling babe goes up to you and pour out all her love to you! You will be like, WOW, YES, I'm in cloud 9!
Guys are like switches, girls are like volume knobs.
It takes a moment to attract a guy but it takes a process to attract a girl.
Doing such stuff like giving lots of presents and declaring your undying love just makes you look desperate, an extreme turn off for the ladies!
Yah, you might say "Oh, so you think you very pro is it? Who are you to tell us how to woo girls?"
I have to admit I'm not a pro but hey, I'm still learning!
Attraction is a tough thing for guys to learn. Yet ladies grasp them well, like naturally - playing hard to get, making you miss them, a little touch here and there, suspense.. ETC. Makes you crazy no?
Till then, I still have a lot to learn!
