I’ve learnt from experience that to get what I want, I’ve got to speak up. And to speak up specifically in fact! You know how girls like to drop hints and hope that their men pick them up? It’s like, if we’ve got to speak it out, then the element of (expected) surprise is not there, and the level of sincerity is no longer intense. Argh!

No wonder men always say, “A woman’s heart is deep as the seabed.” Actually I think men are just dumb creatures who don’t feel and understand us, not in a lifetime, and not ever! Ah, I know I’ve got to be understanding too… Men are from Venus and Women are from Mars after all… So we’ve just got to learn our lessons and to speak our minds to make things easier for our men!

Last night I was rather hungry by ten after an early dinner. So I said in my sweetest voice, “Wow! I’m so hungry!” Apparently asking for some pampering and concern. However, the thing with marrying an MCP, is that he’s rather ‘dumb’ to hints and ‘immune’ to sweetness. Sigh… No reaction whatsoever from my Beloved. So I decided to take things into my own hands and with a pout and a serious tone I said, “Can you get me a glass of milk, please?” Ah! Love and pampering appeared in a flash! In the form of milk! But I was satisfied, contented. =)

Just the other day, my friends exclaimed surprised (and a little disgust) at me for choosing my own engagement ring. “So unromantic!” they said. Would I rather risk my man wasting money on a ring that I don’t really fancy and may not wear for long? Ah, don’t get me wrong. My Man’s got great taste! (For why then did he fall for me?!) It’s just that I’ll be happier having this particular purplegold ring in this particular design, so why should I make things difficult for him to decide which ring to get? Ahhh…
