I have been watching quite a bit of Mars vs Venus on telly these last couple of weeks. Actually..a bit is an understatement, I catch the show whenever I am home in time for it. It is one show I can watch in peace cos by then the little fella is asleep already. These days, he sleeps at 8.30 so we get quite a bit of me/couple time. Anyway…back to what I was saying…the show…. I like it a lot for various reasons. One being that there are lots of quotes peppered in the show and more often than not, they touch on the relationship between men and women, husbands and wives. Or rather the fundamental differences between men and women. I like pondering over these quotations and trying to make sense of them and sometimes, relating them to ourselves. Some episodes back, the talking point was communication or rather an absence of communication. From a spectator’s point of view, it is so easy to point out what is lacking in the relationship and what the couple ought to do. But I am sure sometimes we commit the same folly without even realising it. Communication is something I am very particular about because I have seen and felt the effects of how detrimental a breakdown of it can be. Not between me and Iz but between D&M. Which is why we keep telling ourselves that we must be open and frank with each other. No secrets , no hidden thoughts whatsoever. Sometimes, definitely easier said than done but we try.

Again I digress…the other reason why I like the show is cos they always have the ‘inner voice’ of the person speaking. No, I am not a schiz or anything like that, I just like to hear how people think and see what kind of a thought pattern they have. I then tend to analyse why they think they way to do. Hahah…maybe this is just my innate sense of kaypoh-ness. And having this sort of ‘inner voice’ narration always reminds me of SATC.

>>>Had a wee little break here cos we were asked to go shift the copier away from the renovation site. Took 7 of us to move one bloody heavy copier. 2 guys and 5 ladies. Good thing we are not the dainty dainty type.

 In the show, from the different characters, you can even pick up some traits you want to have and some u would never want.One of my greatest fear is becoming truly aunty-fied…messy hair, drab clothings, face sans make-up, running after the kid/s and nagging at the husband. Not a pleasant picture ,is it? Must make sure I never become like that!!!Am a vain mummy and shall stay one!
