Just Perfect
May 21st, 2007
if left uninterrupted, Martian has this astronomical ability to talk and talk and talk and not stop until he loses his train of thought. give him any topic - economics, healthcare, Wolfowitz, the latest Jay Leno, office politics, his cute girlfriend ahem ahem - and he can talk till kingdom come. he doesnt even need you to say anything in response! it’s like this big long monologue that never ends. sometimes when we’re on the phone and i sense one of his epic-sized soliloquies coming on, i just start sorting out my wardrobe or painting my nails or something. yet listening to him the whole time, but of course; and always remembering to throw in the occasional ‘mmhmm’ and ‘then what?’, naturally, like a good girlfriend would.
if anyone else did that to me, as in went on and on and on and on and on and ignored me at the same time, i would probably roll my eyes, tell him not to call me again, and hang up.
but because it’s Martian, i lovingly keep listening to every word, sitting back and giggling in my heart at how long-winded my boyfriend can be. damn cheong hei but so cute. like my mother liddat. sometimes i like to count in my head how many minutes it takes for him to realize that i’m not saying anything at the other end of the line, heeheehe. the record is 13 minutes 54 seconds.
(and i can say all this with bold abandon, because Martian has decided to boycott my blog. hence he’s never going to read this. haha!)
when you love someone, all their imperfections are perfection in your eyes. and there is nothing about Martian that i can bring myself to dislike. i love everything nice and unnice about him. to me, the sum of all those things just make him so Martian and so cute and so lovable and so mine. and i wouldnt have it any other way.
except for the fact that he wants to boycott my blog.
-_______-
damn Martians think they rule the whole solar system. boycott then boycott lah!

Erm…your nonchalant talk about him makes him so cute…some how…but being able to talk to yourself without having a response for 13 minutes is just sad..is it?
I mean…13 minutes without a response….13 MINUTES!?
Talking to myself whilst driving or day dreaming might take max 3 mins.
ITs good that your BF boycotts your blog…now you can express your love in the virtual world while keeping your boyfriend in the real world…happy still…:)

I hate it when girlfriends invent (silly and nonsensical) names for us. Martian? I’ve been called a food and an certain animal (not Tiger, although that would be acceptable :) ) Really, all these names are pseudo-whimsical. They don’t make the guy feel good. It just serves to castrate guys. GUYS HATE IT.
I wonder how many boyfriends secretly hate this stupidity, but just pretend as to humor their girlfriends in case they stop the sex…

You have a lucky bf. Usually it’s the other way round. :-I
But I guess what he does orally, you do literally (that doesn’t sound right)…. gee. Is that why be boycott your blog.

A Martian that talks endlessly? Now that’s something unusual.
Lol.

17. anon | May 21st, 2007 at 8:39 pm
i thought you broke up with Martian a while back?
and why is he boycotting your blog?! i like to read your blog! your uncanny way of writing down things just as they are is awesome.. and you were wrong about writing being easy when one feels that way.. i don’t find writing down my thoughts or feelings easy at all. guess i’m not a very expressive person. =(
18. foreverjas | May 21st, 2007 at 8:42 pm

20. alvin | May 21st, 2007 at 10:31 pm
koffmrwimbledon!koff
21. Jay | May 21st, 2007 at 11:13 pm
If Martian and I got into a conversation, it would be the longest conversation EVER! Ha.
Btw, what did you think of The Number 23? I thought it was alright, but the flashback stuff from the book was kick ass.
22. Charlie | May 21st, 2007 at 11:19 pm
Eh, tell Martian that he can go and work as a Moral Studies lecturer :P
23. entwined | May 22nd, 2007 at 12:23 am
13 minutes! wah i cannot man. if my bf never say anything while i’m talking, i get damn paranoid! instantly will go -why aren’t you saying anything?!?!?! are you paying attention???!!!
:P but then, if we’re fighting, i would realllllyyy appreciate 13 minutes of non-stop ranting. hahaha :P
so i’m guessing there’s a third time? :)
24. ionStorm | May 22nd, 2007 at 1:24 am
you love everything about a person…up till the point when you marry the person. then whatever that can irritate you will irritate you.
25. raZZbeRRy | May 22nd, 2007 at 2:18 am
Actually I can perfectly understand why he’s boycotting your blog, if it’s the same reason and situation as what happened in my case ;).
And yes, when you love someone, his imperfections usually become overthrown by her goodness.
26. Lalita | May 22nd, 2007 at 3:01 am
Su Ann, please translate cheong hei! I think this post is sweet. Although I have to say lah, I guess love is tolerating someone else’s unniceness like you put it. Heh, heh … so true.
Watched AI - I have to say this - WTF right?????????? They voted out Melinda. Now what!
27. pinkpau | May 22nd, 2007 at 3:36 am
jonathan : he’s just adorably long winded that way .. :) and i’d actually much prefer my boyf to be in both my worlds, but a little sacrifice isnt out of the question i suppose.
dlt2 : must pay royalty in form of ice cream!
pinksterz : haha seldom but yes.
aw : im very lucky in that all the men i hv dated are confident enough to deal with a little feminization :) they’re manly coz they can wear a pink shirt or be called pookie and not feel any less male. a lack of confidence about one’s gender identity is the biggest ‘castration’ imo
sirennights : no that isnt why he boycotted my blog, thank goodness, otherwise i would be pretty pissed off :P
songjun : you dont get your car now… haha
vvens : very sure. he doesnt care what i have to say on my blog i guess
jimbungkangkung : martians can be very surprising creatures
bunni3 : been better, to be honest
bs : ask him lah *sulky
michellesy : no :)
tze : okay, even tho i have to study for SAT, i will layan u! eh but make suet come oso!!!! she has to teach me how to prepare for SAT coz she took it before =( tell her it is her duty as a fellow international student-to-be in the states!
reallybites : and i will boycott u and ur bank ! huh!
k0k : why?
kennysia : wrong guess :P
michael : tqtq :)
anon : i did, and we’re still broken up. he boycotted my blog for his own reasons. and for that i am boycotting him bak. and not everyone expresses themselves thru writing :) im sure u know for urself what mediums u’re more adept at than others :)
foreverjas : I KNOW !! two more months!!
aimee : coz he is so like that wan. nvm i boycott him bak
alvin : old news dahling!
jay : i shudder to think what will happen when you two start a commenting discussion :P i LOVED number 23! riveted from start till end. very entertaining
charlie : i would never let him do that :O
entwined : haha i know what u mean. im like that too. no, no 3rd time still
ionstorm : well arent u all rainbows and sunshine.. :)
razzberry : what was ur case?
lalita : cheong hei means long winded. SIGH abt melinda. the two finalists have NOTHING on her!
28. songjun | May 22nd, 2007 at 4:40 am
ya la.. what la u.
give me his then
29. Michelle | May 22nd, 2007 at 6:33 am
We won’t boycott your blog. That’s all we know.
30. kristof | May 22nd, 2007 at 9:38 am
you’ve got a talkative boyfriend. Yay!11!1oneeleven
31. JustAnotherTragedy | May 22nd, 2007 at 12:38 pm
Eh eh maybe he decided to boycott your blog temporarily nia so he can see what sorta funny things youre gonna write about him. Hahaha.
32. k0k | May 22nd, 2007 at 2:07 pm
Now you’re just playing dumb, LOL.
No matter. I gathered enough from your exchanges with your other commenters.
33. aw | May 22nd, 2007 at 3:50 pm
Ouch, do I detect a faint hint of a back-bite there.
I do own a salmon pink tie. Well, nice of your men to be allow themselves to be wrapped around your little finger.
*hen-pecked, hen-pecked* *whistles*
Now stop blogging, and go back into the kitchen.
Just kidding, and right back at you.
34. pinkpau | May 23rd, 2007 at 12:15 am
songjun : i osowan… haha u wait ur turn
michelle : pls dont =( i very sad wan when ppl boycott my blog
kristof : dont u wish u had one :)
justanothertragedy : quite the opposite :P
k0k : okie dokie :)
aw : now stop leaving insecure and sexist comments and go back to the caves where such mentalities belong
35. aw | May 23rd, 2007 at 5:33 pm
You’re not secure enough to write a comeback??
“Yeah, I’m going back into the kitchen to pee in your coffee”
“Yeah, I’ll go back into my kitchen, and you go back to *my* living room.. the whole house is in my name”
Girls nowadays have no balls. Oh, wait..
36. Charlie | May 23rd, 2007 at 6:24 pm
@aw: Actually we do.. we’re just wondering when men will start wanting them back. : P (
37. Charlie | May 23rd, 2007 at 6:26 pm
^Not fantastic, but not bad for someone with a headchill and a lap full of econs homework.
