Love At First Sight
i was just browsing yahoo.sg and i noticed rainie yang's front page question, 'what do you first notice about your potential partner?' especially when you meet new people, what is ever the first thing that attracts you to them? are there any specific features and qualities in a person that make you feel that they could be your missing half?

i feel that it has everything to do with connection. you may be attracted to someone's looks, built, smiles or even charisma. but when you sit down and can't hold a simple conversation with him, then it remains as just an innocent crush. and even if you do sit down and chat, if you aren't comfortable being yourself, then he's very much like a desired item you see in a boutique which doesn't suit you at all. the best match is someone who has charisma for real and he makes me feel accepted and understood.

connection is a jumbled mixture of chemistry, charisma and affinity. you'll simply know it's there when you hang out with the one long enough. and when you're connected, you are simply hooked on wanting to spend more time together. and it also means that you're really comfortable being connected with him. you don't mind looking silly. you can say the most bazaar things and you know he'll accept the way you are. and i reckon, when you can fart, burp and snore loudly without feeling embarrassed in front of him, congrats! you've attained the highest level of comfortability and connection! :)

of cos, everything becomes perfect when the one that comes along becomes not only your companion, but a soul mate. to me, he's definitely someone whom i feel extremely comfortable to sit down to watch the stars and sunrise with. and if i don't mind the occasional love bites from the mozzies just to be with you, you GOT me! :) that has always been gracie's deciding benchmark i set for the perfect one all my life. i have always desired to find someone who loves the milky way, the orion and the sun just as much as i do.

btw, i have already found my companion. Oops, i mean soul mate :)
