Acknowledgements Thanks to Justin Timberlake’s naked bum on Friends With Benefits, I somehow had a light bulb moment on how I would start my story. (Although it was actually Mila Kunis who offered more beer in the movie, but hey, it’s Mila Kunis vs Justin Timberlake’s naked bum; and I am just a girl with much vulnerability to JT’s bum. Haha, kidding ) Thanks, too, to the genius person on Tumblr who asked the question If a clock could count down to the moment you meet your soulmate, would you want to know?

I don’t believe in this stupid soulmate clock anyway. And I still don’t understand why our ancestors thought it was cool to have this clock embedded in our body. It’s just stupid! You can’t really live your life normally. And people stop having bigger dreams... O. K. But you can’t say the clocks have not done any good. See, lower divorce rates, less heartaches… Yeah and more people thinking they could just sit back and wait for their soulmates to meet them without having to improve on their own selves.
