late night out

Up till 7 hours ago [which was the time I went to bed], I was awake for a full 24 hours. Woke up at 7 am on friday morning 10th Nov, and was up till 8 am saturday morning 11th Nov - without any naps.
Naturally one wld assume tt I was busy rushing my assignments [which are aplenty, I can assure you]; but instead a phone call from FH and a spontanous invitation extended to me got me out of the house; and all the while I was telling myself tt I deserve a few hours' break to just chill out with friends.

Alas, a Settlers' Cafe-plan turned to a ktv session till 3am + clubbing till 5am + accompanying a friend who was extremely down and suicidal till 7am. As I was commenting to Chong, what an uneventful night it was. I went out thinking I wld be home by 2-3am; but at the end of the night I watched the sky turn from black, to the dawn of blue, at an Orchard junction.

*hmm* I think this is the first time I've stayed out the entire night, and still was quite awake. Till I got into the cab, tt is. Then I sort-of fell asleep. Hee. And I konked out on the sofa for 5 hrs straight, b4 waking up now to start on I.D. paper. But as usual my momentum refused to start, which is why I'm blogging.

I have a question for you: wld you compromise on your criteria for a partner? I mean.. you guys know what I look for, physically, in my ideal other-half: height [no.1 priority pls] and someone who is not very thin [for a v obvious reason which I will not spell out here]

But what if you meet someone who does not meet your criteria; but is someone who is rather nice to you, wld you reconsider? FH told me to re-evaluate my criteria, else I wld not be able to find anyone and wld end up rejecting the guys who are interested.

He said, "its not the guys who mind you, but you who mind them." *sigh* I really don't know. Why shld I compromise on my criteria? But then again, these are just physical attributes, and I shldn't be so superficial, right?

The reason why I'm sprouting all these rubbish is because I've met a guy who is rather nice to me, but does not meet my criteria! *wails* why is it always like tt? Those tt meet my criteria are either attached, or out of my league; and then those who are nice/attracted to me never really measure up to what I want.

And the reason why I'm frettng a little [just a little, nothing more than tt] is bcos I *think* its possible for me to be nice back to this guy too. There is, I admit, a certain comfort I derive spending time with him; and there is some level of chemistry [I think] going on.

But anyway I don't really know where this thing with the guy is going - if anything is even going on in the first place. Hah! I need to consult FH for his opinion on certain actions tt has happened [since we are mutual friends] but then he's away with clients now. *grumbles*

Okie the rest of you, tag me and tell me if I shld compromise, or at least give some leeway, on my criteria on physical attributes. I need your input pls!
