excuses

I was sitting in the canteen with my friends, doing some unnecessary last-minute studying.
There was this really good looking volleyballer sitting somewhere near, right behind us.
As typical guys they were, they started talking.
"There that one, quite pretty, go for her lah!" JN said, teasingly.
"Where, which one?"
"That one, with the green white bag."
"siao!"

that comment took me by surprise, "siao" isn't exactly an orthodox word to go with this conversation.
so i asked.
"why? cannot meh?" backing up with facts i learnt, "She's never had a boyfriend."
I still find it hard to believe, but from my reliable sources, I know it must be true.

"of course no boyfriend la, she so pretty who dare to try?"
i chuckled in my heart, because it was really funny, and because i always chuckle.
Don't guys go for girls just for looks these days?
Well, maybe then they go for pretty, but loose girls-girls who look easy to get- all for namesake.
pitiful.

and then they continued, to the ever mysterious topic. sex.
was appalled to hear that one of them views sex so lowly, he'd do it before marriage to curb the desires.
"but ah, he's just so hippy" I'd tell myself.
sometimes i hope i could say something harsh, like," look at you! who would want to sex with you?"
Then again, nowadays even that isn't true. Sex has degraded from love, to physical attraction, and to something lousier these days.
