♥ opposites attract
my boyfriend and i are total opposites in many things...
he can play love story meets viva la vida on the piano.
me? i can play the right hand part of ode to joy...?
he knows how to sing in tune and enjoys karaoke.
me? i always sing out of tune. and i avoid karaoke whenever possible.
he is good at sport - baddy, basketball, squash.
me? i dont even remember the last time i attempted to play sport...............
he's one of those people who always adds people to fb after meeting them
me? i wait for them to add me. and even then, i don't always accept =X.
he likes to stand out. be different. whether it be hot pink shoe laces, or just being really hyper.
me? i am just me. which i like to think blends in with you know... normality somewhat.
he believes that for a friendship to remain strong, consistent communication is required.
me? i believe that if i feel comfortable calling you at 2am because i need someone to talk to, then you are a good friend to me.
he tends to make friends with those who are younger than him.
me? i tend to make friends with those who are older than me.
he is patient, slow to get angry, accepting and forgiving.
me? i struggle with all of the above.
he speaks chinese very well.
me? ... ni hao ma? ... ...
he is tall. 185ish?
me? i am short. 160ish.
he likes fish and beef.
me? i like lamb and pork.
he doesn't care what kinda phone he has. and wouldn't waste money buying a new one if he already has one that works.
me? i do...... and i would....
he rarely shops. thats why he rarely buys anything.
me? if i dont have time to shop....... i do online shopping =/
he is able to eat anything, even he doesn't like it. he'll still eat it...
me? if i don't like it. i won't eat it..........
he falls over when he goes ice skating
me? i don't! mwuahaha.
he doesn't keep all his reciepts.
me? i have about three shoe boxes full of reciepts from over the past yr or so
i guess some of these are just little things. but really, i've come to realize we're so different. and not just with things like public speaking or the way we dress... but the way that we perceive things. the way that we interpret things. the way we meet people. the way we approach others.
i remember at ange's 18th, phe asked me about us, saying something along the lines of "but you two just seem so different!" haha. and that was based on first impressions. but she's right. we are. very different from each other. how did we put up with each other's differences for the past 15 months??
and i guess in a way, its kinda good. it makes things more interesting i guess (aside from the arguing). and i guess its always good to get a different perspective and insight on things...
however. differences aside. one thing we most definatley have in common is that we're both stubborn.
and i think that its me more so than him though.

♥ pms is not an excuse!
pms is not an excuse to be moody, grumpy and stubborn.
okay. maybe it is. sometimes.
but it shouldn't be an excuse, when it comes to admitting i am wrong sometimes. and that i am sorry. and that it is my fault.
i am such a strong minded person. and i am also very stubborn. i always think i'm right, and if you think i'm not - then i love a good debate.
but i've come to realize, that when it comes to relationships - its not a debate. well, it shouldn't be. it shouldn't be about proving that your right. or making sure your point is valid... and making sure that you ALWAYS win. actually, it's not about winning at all.
it's about understanding. accepting. loving.
there are times where you won't agree on the same things, where you won't like the same things, and where you will view things differently. discussion in those times are good. arguing and debating is not.
pms is not an excuse. there will be times where i will be wrong. where i will be sorry. and i will find it VERY difficult to admit it... because i am soo... stubborn and i dont like admitting i'm wrong.
so honey, i'm sorry. i know u've already told me that you've forgiven me, but i know i must be pretty difficult to stick by me... especially when im super stubborn and moody and pms-y. so thankyou for being so understanding and loving... <3>
