on j.ane a.usten again.

in Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth (ohh, i soo love quotes from her!) said this- when describing Mr Bingley's affection towards her sister;

"Is not general incivility the very essence of love?"

was it?
do you, without noticing it, lack social manners when you are in love?

hmm..
would my book (kah kah kah) make the male/ female protagonist struck like a fool for love?
but its rather romantic though.. a person being mildly rude- not delibrate though.. cause he/she is in love.
however, i am not sure whether the notion suits malay culture. as we all know, we are bred to conduct ourselves with good manners- always respect older people, never to disagree your parents, salam when arriving and before leaving the house/ company, speak softly in public, never ever curse, always take a care not to offend people, females should always be demure.. you know the drill.

no  la, i dont think it would work. well maybe it can but i havent the idea of how yet. but rest assure that i do not condone kids not respecting their parents, as apparently so-much being showcased by tv dramas nowadays. it goes against my own principle. i just cant write about that.
i am a believer that all normal parents (sans the sickos) love their kids and knows what is best for them.

but does this count?
a person, who may or may have not be in a relationship with this other person, gave his/her supposedly other person the cold shoulder once this person has been struck by another? and, without even the decency to clear things out with that person.
oops, nope. i think this one is considered selfish. heck, people tend to be that as well when they are in El O Vie Ee, huh?

hahah.. i guess im doing this.. this writting thing. but we'll see whether it gets to be finished or not (what confidence i have for myself, huh?)

PS: i mentioned to ikan that i would need his input (male thoughts) to develop my book and he replied- 'you dont need what men think. you just write what you female fantasize.' :p sucker! lol
