Today I am going to illustrate a dream I recently had in a cartoonishly-storylike way.
It's about this boy named Kenkino and this girl named Derpina who apparently mistook chemistry for love.
This boy is Kenkino.
Biodata :
1) Has near-perfect mastery of the English language.
2) Stresses the importance of excellent grammar especially in speech and writing.
3) Obtained a bandwidth of 8.5 out of 9 in his IELTS (International English Language Testing System) which only a few people in the world managed to obtain.
And this girl is Derpina.
Biodata :
1) Came to Malaysia to study from Korea.
2) English is her second language whereas Korean is her primary spoken language.
3) Her grammar isn't anywhere near good when it comes to both speaking and writing.
4) Has a weird accent when speaking English.
Storyline :
Kenkino and Derpina met in college and they are both attracted to each other. However, Kenkino wasn't really interested to hang out with Derpina when she is with her other Korean friends because they speak the Korean language which Kenkino does not comprehend one bit. If he was there with them, they would be complied to change to English so that Kenkino could understand what they were saying. And Kenkino does not like it one bit. Plus, Derpina's accent when speaking English is what fluent-english-speakers would undoubtedly label as weird. However Kenkino forces himself to just ignore the language barrier between them as he had chemistry for her. Little does he realize the major implication of primary language differences in a relationship. If he could not understand the Korean language at all, then he would not be able to associate himself with Derpina's other friends at all, and consequently Kenkino would not familiarize himself with Derpina's Korean side of life at all. This disadvantage caused by different backgrounds of two people would be a major blow in their relationship. If they were to get married next time, Kenkino would have to force himself to mix with Derpina's other Korean relatives, family members and friends even when their English speaking skills is downright difficult to understand and he would feel ignored when they are all talking in their native tongue not English. Also, Kenkino would have to endure the ordeal of not being able to understand what Derpina is talking about when she is with her other Korean friends. So Kenkino thought it over and analyzed what kind of life he would have in the future if he ever got married to Derpina. He decided that his marriage with Derpina would not be happy because of various factors like cultural differences, primary language differences, different types of friends and family members, et cetera. Also, he realized that what he had for Derpina is just chemistry, not love. Thus, Kenkino decided to break up with Derpina instead of going any further into their relationship as it just would not work out. Now, Kenkino is currently married to a beautiful girl (same race and religion) who speaks perfect english, has the same types of friends and family members which he could talk freely with, they both share the same cultural backgrounds and their IQ levels are almost the same. And Kenkino could not have been happier.
*applause to the happy ending*
Now what is the moral of the story?
1) When searching for a relationship, find a person who speaks the same primary language as you, shares the same cultural background as you, has friends that you could relate and talk freely with, et cetera.
2) Do not confuse chemistry with love, as they are both very different from each other. Learn to tell whether you really love the other person or simply have chemistry which often results from a lack of sleep (urge to cuddle).
