Across the Bridge.
So here i am sitting on my pal's comfy little Ikea couch, tap-tapping this post on his machismo laptop, 400 kilometres away from home. In a country where the idea of monogamy is as silly as speaking Mandarin to a Bangladeshi.
Everyone here seems to thrive on the fact that being loyal to just one woman, is the wrong course of action. "No man should ever be tied down to just..one woman." said a friend.
"Who've you been fucking lately?" is another typical response if you said you do believe in the sanctity of monogamy.
As usual, the answer to that question would be one of utter modesty.
"No one."
Then the room would instantaneously burst into laughter at the sight of a childish, inexperienced Malaysian lad, who didn't know that the grass over here, is indeed much, much greener.
I find it entirely amusing that (over here at least) reckless shagging is a form of sport. So, where (as the song clearly states) is the love?
Like Tom Cruise said in his interview with Oprah (yes, THAT interview), I don't like flings. I'm very into relationships.
Give that response to the boys over here and you'd get a solid toasting.
They'd say you're 'GAY' in a heartbeat.
Then they'd BEAT you up.
Alas, love is a commodity that is traded so easily on the marketplace these days that the value is sadly misrepresented.
Oh just to point out, men aren't the only ones acting this way over here.
Or as one Australian lady pointed to us (quite distinctly too, I might add) - UP here.
Two guesses for where I'm in right now.
