ahhh...just made a cup of white coffee for myself =) im starting to love drinking coffee (not those black coffee) drinking coffee makes me feel that life is good for THAT moment. it has a calming effect on me. it makes me energetic instantly. and most importantly, it keeps me awake during exam period.

im starting to ponder alot about relationship. what exactly is the 'thing' that keeps a relationship going? as a relationship mature, it is as if it has transcended into another stage. a couple is no longer in a honeymoon period, there is no longer this excitement of wanting to know more about each other because as days pass, things become more or less predictable. a couple may not meet as frequent, may not msg as frequent, even all the sweet talkings would have disappeared. there is no longer this halo effect where your partner seems just so perfect to you. slowly, as u discover, your partner may just have as many flaws as you do. i wouldnt say this is all bad. i believe it is what every couple goes through. i mean, after all the initial passion and excitement, somehow, it has to die down. and what that remains, is up to the couple to learn to manage all the differences between them that determines whether a relationship will last. what if the differences are so great that a couple cant learn to manage? to me, that is just an excuse. i don't believe there is too big a difference that cant be handled. is really a matter of whether u want to put in the effort to do it or not.

conflicts become more frequent as a relationship mature because gone were the days where a couple would tolerate and give in to each other like it was before, so afraid that you would make him/her angry. why is that so? because having known each other for so long, things become so predictable that you know that it is just another episode of his/her 'tantrum'. we voice out our unhappiness, we say out what we think...and it is then that we realise how different we both were. so what now? to run away from the problem? to give up? or stay firm and trash it out?

TO BE CONTINUED......

ahhh...ok..no time for my lovey dovey talk. my mum hurrying me to bathe cox we are going out...
