Saw an old couple when i'm on my way home from work. They were in front of me when i notice them. The old man walked slightly faster than the old lady and when he realised that he's actually of quite a distance from the old lady, he turned back and offered his hand to hold that old lady. Gawd. This is damn sweet. This is the way couple should be behaving. Loving till old. The divorce rate in Singapore is shooting up like rocket. Yes, it's difficult to find someone you truly love. But it's all excuse. I learnt something from the newspaper. Although it's not for me right now, but i think we should actually practice this in order to make relationship goes well.
"Success in a marriage is not so much trying to find the 'right' life partner but being the 'right' partner. So if both spouses strive to be the 'right' partner, finding the 'right' partner becomes less of a challenge." And why does people spend so much on wedding when it's just for a day? "Marriage lasts a lifetime whereas a wedding lasts only a day." So true isn't it? Heh.
The section on 'How to have a happy marriage' really caught my attention. LOL.
-Please each other
"Stick with the main principle and attitude that 'I want to please you and you want to please me.' The trouble starts when your attitude is that you just want to please yourself."
-Value your partner, and show it
"Do things that make your partner feel loved and valued, even if you feel silly doing them."
-Acknowledge individual and gender differences
"Conflict doesn't have to be bad; it can be a good platform for understanding each other's views. Women usually pay more attention to their emotions, and men operate more on a logical mode. The men try to problem- solve, but if woman don't resolve their emotions first, they can't go into problem- solving mode. The husband can help by acknowledging the wife's feelings before offering solutions. The wife can remind the husband how to do things differently to help her better."
-Be flexible
From eating more vegetables to hanging up your clothes a particular way, learn to change in the areas that do not compromise your basic life values.
-Be kind
`Forgive and forget.
`Never put each other down.
`Speak well of each other's family.

I came to realise, getting married is not as easy as i thought it was. Like you have to juggle well between your work and family life. It's not easy. Nevertheless, i still wanna live that kind of blissful life. The days whereby the last person you see before you sleep and the first person you see when you wake up is the love of your life, it's so fortunate! XD Fine, enough of my daydreaming.
Oh, my throat hurts like fcuk.
Ahh, i took 4 different number buses to and fro Tp. Lol. 59,69,23,13. Hah. Then, home sweeeet home. :D And i watched xfamily till epi 40 alr. Few more to go and i'll go back to let those mould grow. And yes, i think i'm getting fatter. Damn. Have been eating alot these days. Pfft. Kill me man. Can someone please tell me that the world is going to end? Life sucks. Oh yes, like what mr sin said, life is cruel. Hahhh. I suddenly miss the life of secondary four. Yes, i've said it like umpteen times but yea, whenever i by pass beatty, this feeling will arise. Shucks. I think i'm just school sick or something. But i miss teachers! Mr Amos Goh, MS PEARLY LIM! etcetc.
NURY! STRIKE BACK! I SUPPORT YOU! *holding pongpong and dance around* JIAYOU! :D
Okay, i wanna watch my xfamily already. <3
ROTTING AGAIN TOMORROW. MOURN FOR ME. I'll be dead when i'm covered with mould. Hurrays! (:
