I went to the Melbourne Symphony Concert last night at the Bowl, it was wonderful meeting up with a couple of friends and Victor, and a bunch of new friends from MAFS. Afterwards Victor and I got talking, and we found out that his new roommate is dating this girl whom I knew from way back, who I thought looked like a movie star and should rightfully be one.
There are a coupld of people I've that upon first impression I thought should and would go somewhere in life. One of them I have mentioned in my other blog, who came from an extraordinary family and is blessed with good looks and brains. Another one is this girl. This girl is one of the only Asian girls that I can honestly say is naturally beautiful without make up, and has perfect bone structure - she's tall and slim without having to make an effort. Her sister is sexy but she's got this aura of elegance about her. I have no doubt in my mind that if she goes back to HK she will be accosted by rich men in no time.
However, somewhat dissappointing is to find out, a couple of years later, she remained where she is and never ventured anywhere. And she's dating a guy of no real significance - yes, from a wealthy family but he himself is very uninteresting. Does that mean the girl I thought could be outstanding is falling into mediocrity, that what I believe God took extra care to create is eventually going to turn out boring and bland?! Well, she's still young so her fate is yet undecided. Although at 23, she is already falling behind compared to the other girl I have my faith in.
I guess the difference between the two girls is their social background. They are both extremely beautiful, but the other girl is a caucasian, has very high IQ and EQs, and has financial support from her family. She also had famous family members which made her extremely popular at school. This Asian girl on the other hadn had to live with her sister and mother in a small apartment so I guess she doesn't have as many choices.
I know it's immature of me but I believe extremely fortunate people - people who are born with attractive features - should have extraordinary lives. Otherwise how can they justify what had been handed to them through no efforts of their own? I have this real life fairy tale that I believe but can't participate in, of this perfect looking girl who has intelligence, wealth, and love, and is someone who enjoys a life of priviledges and go on to achieve wonderful things for the less fortunate, who becomes the symbol of perfection in life. I know I can't be that person, but I can aspire to it and it gives me hope and a sense of mission. I just hope the people who I think has the criteria to become perfect will go on and achieve that.
One bites the dust, luckily the other one is doing well.
And I'm also doing pretty well. Thank God.
