Many times, couples quarrel over the most trivial matter. And when they look back at it, they chide themselves for allowing the situation to get out of hand. Stuart and I do have our heaty moments too, but we realise that more often than not, with some bits of humour and a change of perspective, things could be completely different.

Can a couple who has been married for thirty-five years forget how to hold hands? If you’re married, are you and your spouse still holding hands? Or have you also forgotten how to?
Newly married couples don’t need reminding to be physically close. They are like excited puppies that can’t keep their paws off each other. When kids come along, these couples put on their almighty parents suits all day long. This suit comes with all the functions to be the great mummy and daddy–waterproof, many pockets, thick and airy–but loses its appeal when it comes to being the loving spouse. Alas, when parents start donning it, they forget to take it off, even when they go to bed.

It’s always been my dream to write. As much—or as little—as you’ve probably read my articles or my book, there’s still a very long way for me to go in terms of fiction and creative writing. So coming to Iowa for five weeks where I write, write, and write! is indeed a leap towards achieving my dream. I have to thank Stuart for this. Of course, my parents and sister are holding the banner up for me too, but since we’re talking about marriages here, I’ll just focus on being mushy.

When I was first read this news S’porean Cheated by ex-lover on The Straits Times two days ago, I felt sad for the woman who had lost her relationship and her money. When I reached the part where she commented on how she felt about this case, I felt sadder. This, was what she said (taken from The Straits Times):
I don’t trust men anymore. I trust money more now.
I’m sure she said more than this liner during the press conference. But, based on this alone, it isn’t hard to know how deeply hurt she was from this relationship. Yet, based on what she said, I’m very concerned.

Talk about an identity crisis. What would you do if your partner wants you to behave like someone else? Someone whom he has the hots for, albeit of a pure idiolising nature.
Would you dress like this person? Probably, if it means you attract your partner’s attention. How about changing your behaviour too? Maybe you need to speak softer (double up with a specific accent!), be more flirtatious, smile seductively and walk like that person?
I think if changing yourself makes you a better person, why not? But if it destroys you as a person, then why do it?

It was truly amazing.
These guys have so much energy and the level of participation was so high that I enjoyed myself thoroughly, even though I was the speaker. I wished I could be sitting with them in the audience to feel the high atmosphere too.
I was referring to the event I attended last night. Held on a monthly basis, it was four hours of good food, fun games and excellent networking for singles and most importantly, great company. Though it was organised by SDU, all of the participants weren’t members.
