The Right Age?

Lately, a certain event has set the whole nation buzzing with excitement . No I'm not talking bout the upcoming Merdeka celebration. This is about the fairy tale like wedding of a certain local celebrity darling with her other chosen half, a prominent businessman. It has been touted by many as the Wedding Of The Year. That in my humble opinion is an understatement. From front page newspaper reports to live telecast on TV, the media has given it nothing short of a royalty treatment. Wait... even royalties wedding didn't get that kind of coverage. In fact I'm kinda surprised that the Government have yet to declare the day as a public holiday.

Everyone's tongue is wagging about the wedding. Datins plotting at Starbucks gossips bout the size of the rock on her ring, girls talking bout wanting a wedding just like hers and sleazy old man bragging about how they wouldn't need the help of their blue pill buddy if they can have her in bed. Me and the girls?? Being the jealous bitches that we are, of course we talked bout EVERYTHING about the wedding. However to safeguard myself from possible defamation suits, I shall not disclose the nasty remarks that we've make but mainly our late night girls talk is on one thing- the age G A P between her and the jantan.

Yes I know that is hardly anything to scream and shout about. It happens all the time and we've seen it all- the toy boy, the gold digger, the sugar daddy, the cradle snatcher, you name it and we have it. Damn I can even think of a list of celebrity couples endorsing every possible combination there is. So, what is the acceptable age gap for the society before we will be labeled with one of the above mentioned titles?

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm guilty of passing sarcastic remark or exchanging glances with one of my equally rude sister whenever we see someone older with someone way younger, more so if they're of the potato and rice type.

ME: OMG look at that daddy wif his toyboy!!
GF: What daddy?? More like GRANDDADDY to me!! So disgusting!
ME: I know.....it is like doing your own dad!! Eww...

Now I'm not saying older guys is not hot. In fact I love the daddy type. But don't get me wrong. By the daddy type I'm referring to my obsession of straight man in their late 20s with cute kids. Not that type of daddy that is actually the same age with my own dad or worst, much older. It just does not seem right. How is it going to work?? How many years will we be able to share together?? Some will say that it is not the amount of years that can be spent together that matters but rather the satisfaction of being together with someone you love that matters most. You know the same quality vs quantity shit. Yeah rite?!?

What would be the right age be then? For me I would like to say that seven years my senior would be my ceiling. But I will not restrict myself from seeing someone older if they do come along. As I've always been told, never say never. Who knows I'll probably be having a wedding just like hers. And if I do, this would be the song that I'll play.


Begitu banyak cerita,
Ada suka ada duka,
Cinta yang ingin ku tulis,
Bukanlah cinta biasa

Dua keyakinan beza,
Masalah pun tak sama,
Ku tak ingin dia ragu,
Mengapa mereka slalu bertanya,

Cintaku bukan di atas kertas,
Cintaku getaran yang sama,
Tak perlu di paksa,
Tak perlu di cari,
Kerna ku yakin da jawabnya,
Andaiku bisa merubah semua,
Hingga tiada orang terluka,
Tapi tak mungkin ,
Ku tak berdaya,
Hanya yakin menunggu jawabnya....

Janji terikat setia,
Masa merubah segala,
Mungkin dia kan berlalu,
Ku tak mahu mereka tertawa,

Diriku hanya insan biasa,
Miliki naluri yang sama,
Tak ingin berpaling,
Tak ingin berganti,
Jiwa ku sering saja berkata

Andai ku mampu ulang semula,
Ku pasti tiada yang curiga
Kasih kau hadir
Tiada terduga
Hanya yakin menunggu jawapan
