Engineer as a Boyfriend


Advantage 1: Secure lifestyle
An engineer boyfriend can provide you with a secure lifestyle. At 27 years old, an engineer probably has a respectable, stable job that gives him a high income to own a car, invest, have a comfortable life, and get married and buy a house too. Law graduates are still working as a lowly apprentice in law firm. Most management graduates have just failed on their first business plan. The arts graduate is still looking for a job. And the medical school graduate is still living in a hospital.

Advantage 2: Unmatchable industriousness
An engineer boyfriend will dedicate an unimaginable amount of his time and effort to understand you. Engineers strain really really hard to understand their work. You can believe that they will try really really hard to understand women too, just like how they understand their work, once they believe that you are the one. So even if they don’t understand you initially, they will keep on trying. Even if they still do not understand, they will figure out the correct method to keep you happy (e.g. buy diamond ring = 1 week’s worth of happiness.) And once they find out the secret formula, they will just keep on repeating it so that the desired results appear.

Unlike the Lawyer who will argue with you. The Management graduate who will try to control your spending, The Arts graduate who will ‘change major’. And the medical school graduate who will operate on you. And you know what, it’s really so easy to make engineer’s believe that You are the ‘one’. Say that you like one of their project and they will be hooked to you forever.

Advantage 3: An engineer boyfriend will never betray your trust
Let me first tell you what is wrong with the rest of the others - The lawyers will lie about everything. Management graduates will cheat your money. The arts graduate will flirt, and you probably just look like another cadaver to the medical school graduate. Your engineer boyfriend is either too busy to have an affair, and even if he does, he is too dumb to lie to you about that. Hence, an engineer is the most secure boyfriend that you will ever find - rich enough, will keep on trying to understand and please you, has no time for affairs and too much confused to lie to you.

Tetap Pendirian?



Sudah agak lama aku tak menulis di ruang maya ini. Terlalu sibuk dengan pelbagai perkara. Peribadi, akademik, persatuan. Hanya design yang kerap bertukar. Cuba mencari sesuatu yang aku rasa selesa dengannya. Yang dapat aku rasa bangga. Walaupun tidak pada orang lain.

Dalam apa pun perkara yang aku buat, pandangan manusia lain itu perkara kedua. Mungkin ketiga, keempat, malahan mungkin terakhir dalam senarai prioriti. Yang penting aku rasa selesa, aku rasa perkara yang aku buat adalah yang terbaik untuk diriku.

Satu nasihat pernah aku lafazkan pada seorang rakanku supaya mengubah bentuk tulisannya.

"Aku tak mahu menjadi manusia yang selalu berubah pendirian", jawapannya.

Apakah berubah pendirian itu perkara yang tidak baik? Berubah untuk menjadi yang terbaik. Aku manusia yang tak pernah selesa dengan sesuatu perkara. Sentiasa mahu berubah. Seperti design blogku. Seperti tulisan tanganku. 

Perubahan itu penting, agar manusia terus memacu ke hadapan. Menjadi manusia yang lebih baik.

Tetapi, dalam setiap perkara ada asasnya. Perlulah ada suatu perkara yang dipegang teguh. Agar perubahan yang dilakukan tak menjadikan kita manusia yang terjerumus ke kancah kehancuran.

Yang penting, berubahlah selagi ada ruang. Dan, berfikir dengan akal dan iman yang dikurniakan Ilahi.
