Communication...

Communication is basically an essential part of everyone's life, be it you are working and interacting with strangers, or you are at home where interaction is made between family members and pets, unless you are living alone in a land far far away.... then... yeah...

I have crossed that line between communicating with people, moron, idiots, that I have acquired enough miles to travel round the world for free. And you realise, communicating effectively is more important than blabbling non-stop, as it should be.

Being married now, i have an obligation to communicate well with my husband, making sure we mean what we say, be it good or bad. At times, things can never be easy, especially when you come from a different culture, background and of course, of two different characters. But as they say, love conquers all...

My point and I do have one most times, is that, if anyone is not happy with someone, or feels that they want to get something out of their chest, talk to the person directly, tell them how you feel, and truth be told, if it will hurt, make it less hurtful and talk even more nicely...

Lars and I argues over the amount of chilli sauce he puts on his chicken, yes, a white man eating chilli sauce, and the way his toothbrush stands in the bathroom and many other small things I love to nag...but one thing I can never complain, how we communicate.. and that man can talk! :D and that is something I will never complain about.

But others.....hmmm....I used to believe that when someone says something to hurt you, ignore them and let life take its toll on them... now, as i grow non the wiser, i realise, you should say something and push a little bit of life to take its toll on them... in other words, make sure you say your piece and if u can't spit at them from far, try spitting at their food, if given a chance.

My family members, we communicate very well, we just shout at each other when it calls for.. hahah, but seriously, we have been there for each other, more than anyone can give credit for and I am proud they are mine. We may have a different level of communication but we know what we are and where we come from, and as proven, we have never allowed anyone to fall and there not be someone to catch, it may be an Asian culture, or it maybe the way we are raised, but i am proud of it, whatever reason it may be, that to me is another form of COMMUNICATION!


***To my dearest husband: We are having KFC tonight! pleaseeeeeee...... :=)
