Had a long tok with bc tonight.....it started with the normal complaints about work and boy, he has changed slightly...to complain!!! haha....he used to have the concept that no matter what happens at work, all should end once its end of work day....hence, sometimes its quite hard to know much about what happens at his work day. Unless with endless drilling and all....
Anyway, i've enjoyed the tok tonight though my eyes were filled with tears...tears of joy and sadness. Joy that i've shared my thoughts with him; sadness of how shallow our relationship is after 5 years together.
Few conclusions i've come about when toking to him
1. Relationship is not based on time together, quality counts Though we have been together for 5 years, he doesnt understand me well enough. It could be due to the fact that he is not involved in most of the things i do. Be it Lindy, Singing or Guitar. He will accompany me when he can but definitely have missed out the different sides of me. Pity.....No matter how long a relationship is, what you do together, what you share with each other, how much you understand about each other really counts..
2. To plan for the future does not means to have a joint account, joint whatever There are people who believe in having a joint account together to save for the future. I never believe in it. Why? It might be due to the fact with regards to my relationship at home and the many things i've seen money can do....Money becomes a sensitive thingy in my life. That i believe that a couple should never have joint accounts or joint effort to buy a car or whatever joints until they are legally married. This belief might be old but in this modern days when nothing can be certain even when you ROM, why do couples need to have a joint account? If they are serious and ready for each other sharing a same future, they can save on their own and combine forces when they are getting married. This will save all the unnecessary or unforeseen situations when a relationship is ended prematurely i.e prior marriage. Having a stable and strong relationship should be the solid basis for marriage.
3. Values that we see from shows will reflect on us I was giving him some examples about how tv dramas have hidden messages that will make people realise about some values in life that we should take note of. You know of instances where after watching a scene and you go, "Aiyo, how can he tok like that to his parents", such scenarios. There are a lot of moments in the show where we will 'comment' and without realising that the same is happening to us. That is where we will always need to reflect on ourselves, a times after watching a show that brings up certain values. Those are important lessons taught to us.
4. Rejected man tired, busy woman will be tired too He was commenting on one will feel a little tired after three consecutive failed attempts of dating me out and yah tired. Isnt it good that he wait readily for me when im not that busy? Me, a busy woman who get involved in thousand and one things in her life will ask the waiting man and jio him out so that at least they have time spend together.
My frens will go, "you soo busy, you jio him when you free lah.." or "isnt it good that one is busy and one is not so and then the busy one can jio the waiting one out? It complements, doesnt it?" In actual fact it does. But has anyone thought that the waiting one, who has been leading a simple life, a very nice one and stable one, can maintain his momentum...keep his life simple and hope for her to call and wait for her call and yet the busy one, has to amidst her busy life, make effort to call and date the other out? Isn't it effort too? It's a tough balance but i guess, being a busy one, and a girl, she hopes to be dated out too, by the other. And she hopes to be a small woman too....
Overall, i can't really remember all the conclusions that we've spoken just now to put it here but i'm really glad to have that conversation. To have a chance to pour out your woes and thoughts is always a good effort. Beats keeping all hidden inside, or not Spelt out.
Last of all, i just wana say, i finally told him about my blog and i hope he will understand me better. Happy reading.....
