Life is no Nintendo game

Great song, don't you agree? However, I can't say the same for the series of actions as depicted in the music video itself. :(

Two nights ago, the young couple residing just beside my house quarreled again. It was in the ungodly hours of around 2am when I heard heavy foot steps and hoarse voices in the corridor outside my living room. Even though this was not the first time they reenact the whole episode in public, I couldn't help but to sit on the sofa and spied on them. The guy was almost in his birthday suit, except for a pair of brief and a towel in his hand, kungfu'ing around with his partner. Perhaps he was trying to get her back into the house or fending off her blows but I didn't really bother to catch the words that came flying out of his mouth. I was much more curious on the possibility of me going through the same thing with my spouse in the near future when we're staying together.

In the nine years plus that we've been together, we've never argued even once. Sure, there were times when we have a certain degree of disagreement but it was more on give and take, which has been superbly effective so far. However, taking into consideration the fact that we spent the majority of our nine years living far apart from each another, I'm not really sure on what to expect especially now that we've got ourselves a house.

One year of me in UUM while she was missing me in Penang.

Two years of me coding my life away for an IT degree while she got accepted into UPM.

Another two years of me trying to eke a living back in Penang while she strived hard to qualify herself as an engineer.

Now that both of us are working adults, we're still a bridge apart due to her work commitment.

-sigh-

All these years of long distance relationship gives me a lot of freedom to do what I want in my spare time. Shooting some hoops after work, getting myself chased by dogs while jogging at 6am, pew-pew-pew'ing in StarCraft 2, spamming the F5 key to check for requests to buy games online and so much more that I can't even begin to imagine on what I should be giving up on once we're living under the same roof.

Three years of staying with the same roommate in UUM has indeed taught me a lesson. The two of you may be all close and dandy as friends but once thrown into the same room for years, slowly but surely, old habits will start to rear its ugly heads and it will not take long before each of you has your very own list of yucky-stuffs-my-partner-does that you find them hard to accept or live with.

Guess what? While I'm writing this entry, waifu called and told me that her landlord is moving out soon. Looks like I've just rolled myself a bad number in snakes and ladders. Funny how things coincide against each other when you're still scratching your head pondering on what to do next, eh? :D

So, how well will we cope with sharing a bed, I wonder...
