The misconception about staying together is that you both get to see each other everyday and interact with each other every other day, have quality time blablabla.

The reality is so not like that. It's when I want to spend sometime alone with Mr Grumpy on my holiday, I just want to spend some time alone picking his brain. Not with his family, or my family or his friends or my friends, or with the tv on, dvd, movies. etc. Just me and him picking his brain. In Singapore, I constantly have to fight for attention between his work (no arguements there) and the DVD player. Thats right. THE DVD player.

Many tend to take it for granted that, we'll be seeing each other every day, there will be time for some brain picking. But the truth is, there will never be time unless you both are on a holiday and there is nothing to do. But when that arises, we are back in KL entertaining friends, family, ex-colleague, running errands, getting things to buy to bring back (because the exchange rate is so attractive) etc.

So there are times where I just want to go out, have some drinks alone with him on MY HOLIDAY and MY TIME without any interference. Be it watching girls (yes me luv staring at girls), making lame jokes, or just arguing over nothing.

Many may argue, what about weekends? Weekends, we do the housework and I have to compete for attention with the DVD player remember? Yea life together is not without any difficulties. We are more stressed out there mainly cuz we are alone (together) and have to manage the finances, bills, household, etc ourselves. Plus Mr Grumpy worries himself sick when I am sick. It's a hard thing to be sick away from home if it is just the normal bout of flu. Yes we are thankful we have each other there, and by that we are thankful for the comfort we have here in KL with our families, never having to worry about stuff like that.

So yes, lovely as it may sound that we are building our lives together there, it's not a bed of roses.

So leave me alone when I say I want to go out with Mr Grumpy on my last day in KL. Most had their fair share of me the past week. Those who missed me, can catch me again in October... if missed again, December is also a good time. To a certain person who is sick of seeing me already, yes I know you will miss me and the word games we play *shakes head.. dont know how u think of that kind of game*.

Toodles.

Till KL again, next time.....
