Wee Hung and Alex, my colleagues and friends, talked to me yesterday about love and friendship ladders. I had no idea what those are, except perhaps they make brilliant items to put up Wee Hung and Alex's asses.
To quote Alex, from his blog:
Now i introduce what is known as the two ladders. One known as the lovers' ladder and the other, the friendship ladder. Girl B treats Boy A as a close friend, and on Girl B's two ladders, Boy A is tops of the friendship ladder. Boy A, however, loves Girl B and She is tops of her lovers' ladder. For Boy A to cross over to Girl B's lovers ladder, it is almost impossible. For Girl B to cross over to Boy A's friendship ladder, it is highly impossible too. The result would be both parties feeling hurt. This relationship is highly common today.
Hah, associating myself with this will leave a good deal of people confused. Who is at the top of my friendship ladder? Will it change anything if I am to mention that most girls I know would freak out if they're at the top of a ladder?
Truthfully, after listening to Alex and Wee Hung, I had mental images of monkeys jumping from ladder to ladder.
But here's my take on that tussle between love and friendship: It's overdramatised. To me, love and friendship is like the left and right earplugs, connected to an mp3 player playing Oasis. You put in either side, and you hear the most melodious magic music made by Man. But after awhile, the other ear will feel funny due to the difference in ear drum exertion. Put it in both sides, and you hear that same magic music, in both ears, and no side of you gets left out. Ultimately, whether you hear it from your right ear, your left ear or from both sides, your brain still registers that same Oasis magic.
The problem with some people is, they indulge their non-listening ear a bit too much.
