A simple vegetarian lunch out at Quality Hotel..
It is never easy..
I remember growing up to mommy and daddy having their disagreements and quarrels where we are concerned..
Honestly speaking,
That felt like shit.
To say mommy and daddy shared the same nurturing methods will be the most incredulous thing ever..
Daddy had a military style, mommy preferred a softer approach.
Sometimes when we seek permission from mommy to do certain things..
She did not allow it for our own good.
But being the kids we were,
We went to ask daddy and he actually gave his permission.
As a result,
We often bear the brunt of them not seeing eye to eye.
Daddy often criticizes mommy's cooking..
The same old boring food everyday..
Mommy often complained about daddy's temper..
A fiery one that never gives mercy even when mommy was tirelessly doing the household chores..
But I guessed after a few hours of cold war..
They always manage to cool down..
So is Marriage an outdated ritual?
Not outdated, not a ritual.
If one can be moved by MM Lee's faithful devotion for his wife, how could it be an outdated ritual..?
Marriage is not 30 banquet tables where your guests make merry and drink themselves to death..
Marriage is not finding the perfect gown and stride down the aisle in glamour and style..
Marriage does not stop at The Wedding.
How many couples could live out
"Till death do us part"
Sadly to say,
More likely
"Till the next one comes along"
Sometimes it scares me to hell..
With extremely different personalities
Coming from different backgrounds..
It's really amazing how they constantly work things out for us..
Learning never stops..
