He said, "Yelaoshi, if there're two men, one's a rich man, but doesn't love you that much; another sells char kway teow, not rich but loves you very much, who would you choose?"
I laughed and asked him, "Why must he sell char kway teow?" He didn't give me a reason but insisted that I answer him.
Why can't there be a choice with someone who is rich and loves me much? Of course, this is the most ideal combination but I do understand that life is full of imperfections.
Just that... understanding is one thing, when it comes to practicality versus emotions, it becomes sticky.
A year ago, I couldn't answer Kian Yee. In fact, I went home and laughed about it with Mom but both of us still couldn't come up with an answer.
A year later, while reminded of the scenario he posted me back then, I still can't come up with a proper answer.

今天,独自在巴士上,不由得想起一年前1-3’09的傅健毅在某天贸然问我的一席话。
他说:“叶老师,我问你,如果有两个男人,一个是有钱人,很有钱,但是没有那么爱你;另外一个卖炒粿条的,没有钱,但是非常爱你,你会选择哪一个?”
当时,我笑翻了,问他:“为什么一定要是卖炒粿条的?”他也没有给什么理由,硬是要我答。
为什么不可以是又有钱,又爱我的呢?当然,这肯定是最完美的配搭,但人生有很多不完美,这点,我了解。
只是... 这种爱情/面包的问题的确有点棘手。
一年前,我答不出。我还回家问了妈妈,我俩笑了笑,又仔细思考,结果没有办法想到任何答案。
一年后的今天,我还是答不出。
你们的想法如何呢?给我你们的意见吧!我很好奇...
