i've always been amazed at how some couples are able to put aside their emotions/feelings and work together as a team. as one productive team. i think it takes a lot to be professional when the time needs you. am not sure about some people but personally, i find that couples working together share this special bonding. you are able to understand your partner better. supposed to anyway. it has happened too many times now for me to dismiss it. maybe it's ego. men and ego has a very strange relationship cos i think when the ego kicks in, they lose some sense of rational thinking. what? you don't like my voice is it? then that's your problem, dude. one thing i've come to realise since i've worked here, in a malay company, is that malay men cannot stand it when women order them around. point out their mistake. nooo.. cannot. i always think about this when am faced with a situation; trying to put it down to whether it's just me and my emotions running wild or is my basis for anger/frustration is valid. WOULD YOU DO/SAY THE SAME THING YOU DID TO ME IF YOU WERE TALKING TO A MAN/CHINESE COMPANY. my bet is they won't. they will apologise profusely for the mistake they did. always every ready to do so.. *sigh*
had a nice day spent with my parents today! which is quite something, by the way. we had chapati at the famous shop. it was so delicious!! my dad treated us too and throughout the time, he kept asking if i needed money. cos i told him i had no money to pay for his medical checkup today. hehe... so nice of him. i had to say no. it's just so strange to receive money from him. after so long, i think am out of practice. as i get older, especially this year, i have a thing for spending some time with my parents. maybe the thought of getting married and living somewhere else is hitting me bit by bit.. and i always see the sadness in my parents eyes whenever his mom mentions it. which brings me to another issue. yah.. his mom seems to be mentioning it every single time they meet. and i think my parents take it a little too seriously. should bring this up when there's an occassion.
