Will I travel with my MIL Again?

It has been raining non-stop for the past few days. Great for sleeping in and lazing at home. haven't been writing much about my thoughts for a while as can't find the time to do so. The time to reflect n think....

About my trip to BKK, i felt happy and sort of liberated! One morning at breakfast, my MIL mentioned, "Kailing(that's my chinese name) is so happy on her 1st actual tour trip out of Spore hor. For her who is a veteran traveller, she is used to it liao." I pondered over this statement and later on replied to her, "This is my nature. I am cheery by nature. This is me." At the back of my mind, I was just thinking... at their house, have to face those Evil pple, how to be cheerful? ;P But I'm trying to be more cheerful nowadays, don't let others affect how I feel. We should carry our own weather with us(quoted from "The 7 habits of Highly Effective people").

It's pretty fun travelling with MIL and 2nd BIL although there are situations where you don't know to get mad or just laugh it off. haha... You really can see each other's pattern coming out. I was able to take it thou. Instead, it was HB and 2nd BIL who cannot take it and "suan" my MIL. hahahaha... quite fun! But during the trip, things got to be compromise cos we and MIL will have different areas of interest although food will be the common one. So we will accompany MIL to Chinatown to see Bird's nest and she is ON to go shopping with us too! This is one thing you have to think about and need to plan to accomodate the other person's interest as well!

But one thing I seriously got to compliment is that my MIL was able to shop with us from morning till night! She's really amazing yah! Kudos to her! That's the result of her daily exercise and did I tell you she's a "professional athlete". She treks (can trek 11km in MacRitchie), swims, does yoga. I think she's more fit than anyone of us. I don't think I can trek 11km. And she's pretty good with the yoga thing. Think I can only beat her at swimming. My FIL is also very fit one. They are quite cute actually. Always promoting us youngsters must go and exercise. Think is Spore's government has a "Healthy Lifestyle-Exercise and diet" campaign, my PILs sure can be their spokesperson!

This past few days, I felt pretty cheerful anywhere and everywhere. Glad to feel this way - myself. Used to feel this way behind closed doors when at home. Of course at work, I am also my cheerful self with my er..."buddies buddies" colleagues. hiak hiak! We all vomit blood at one another at times but we are damn funny, i think!

I must confessed that I have been feeling short-tempered at times yesterday. And the victim is my Beau. Poor thing. Hmm...I felt really bad and apologised after that. I don't understand why also. Maybe it's lethargic that caused it. But nevertheless, "Sorry dear! Pls don't take it to heart." He got mad at me last night for something which I didn't do. But I was too tired and went to sleep straightaway. This morning when I woke up, we talked about it and everything was cleared. He admitted that he was in the wrong and after some assurance, everything was ok! Smilez! I guess we mustn't take one another for granted. Otherwise, when one party does not meet the other party's expectation, conflicts would occur. No wonder we can hear some people say, last time, ABC would fly to the sky and get the moon for me(just exaggerating but u know what i mean). But now, haiz...fly to the tree also cannot be bothered. Do U have this type of feeling in your relationship?
=>Once we set out to do something, others would benchmark it to what they expect from us, vice versa. But that is the Honeymoon period where everything is just so sweet. So I guess better don't do things that are too way off, or simply not you. Else, it will be either "you don't love him that much" or "You have been faking it all along". Compromising of expectation is the word after the honeymoon period is over!

For me, not much of this kinda feeling. He is still as sweet as ever only that situations has changed. Last time, he will drive from his place at Paya Lebar to bring me to supper at Geylang and then drive me home before he heads home. Abit insane right? haha... But now cos I stay over at times, he will definitely accompany me to supper at whatever times I want, even if he's tired. But sometimes when i stay at my own place and feel hungry, I will secretly hope and wish that he will come and bring me for supper. Cos I'm really a supper person & cannot sleep when my stomach is empty.

Thinking what to titled this blog. hope it didn't bored u guys.

To summarise whether I would go travelling again with MIL, i would say that I am still fine with it. Think it depends more on Beau. But 2nd BIL must come along also, cos he and MIL are quite used to each other's pattern since they always go travelling together. But of course, not during our honeymoon lah! :>
