minghong said that if you plot a relationship graph, it will look similar to the graph of a stock. it goes up initially, and then it plummets and eventually becomes a horizontal line. i agree. after awhile, the fireworks is gone, and the honeymoon period eventually comes to an end. everything runs like clockwork. tick tock tick tock. the relationship is now running on autopilot. haha.

is this what marriage life is going to be? yikes. i don't want that!!! i want the fireworks. i don't want autopilot. it's boring. i don't like routines. i like the thrills of all the firsts: first date, first kiss etc. i want that butterflies fluttering in my stomach feeling all the time!!! fairytales are not meant to be just fairytales to me. i will not allow that!

sometimes, all a girl needs is a little more attention and assurance. it's not cliche. so what if it is? it works. girls are a funny lot. it's not enough that we know it in our hearts, we still want to hear it out loud, as if to convince ourselves. =)
