After Thursday, studies can go screw itself. I am so tired of studying. It's probably the most that I've done for th year and it's not even that much!I know,I know. I should put more effort into it but there's just so many things on my mind at the moment.
Sex and the City was really good. One of the parts made me want to cry because the emotions were so dramatic and real. Anyway, it got me thinking about marriage.
Can you imagine that in about six to eight years,most of us would be settling down with our one true love?haha.It is quite daunting thinking about it. It's probably every girl's dream to get married, it is for me I think. Well, it was. I've become quite skeptical about it,hearing the stories from my Mum about her friends' broken marriages.
One of them had her husband walk out on the family ,she didn't even know what the problem was. He never wanted to talk about it. Now her two sons are taking his side. And she's just so disappointed. It was quite a shock when my mum told me about it, cause last year they invited us over for dinner and they were happy and stuff. But she said that he knew how to act like everything was normal in front of guests. Funny thing is her husband's three brothers are all divorced.
Another friend's husband was always traveling, and surprise surprise he found himself a mistress. It happened like 7 years ago. I remembered I used to see her crying in church or at functions, I never understood why. And only later did my Mum explain the situation to me. And their son was probably like 4 when they got divorced.

If that were to happen to me, I don't think I would be able to cope with the pain and sadness that comes along with it. I'm a wreck when it comes to break ups already and thats really nothing compared to a marriage break up.
But I wonder, do people even try to make it work? What happened to,"To have and to hold,from this day forward,for better,for worse,for richer,for poorer,in sickness or in health,to love and to cherish 'till death do us part' "?
But of course there are the successful ones. My parents would be a perfect example. haha.I'm so proud of them. On the 30th of July, it would be their 20th anniversary. And its just being married together! They were going out since my Mum was Sec 1 and my Dad was Sec 3, with a couple of breaks in between till they got married. And I don't think I've ever seen or heard them fight before. And people actually had doubts about their arrangements when we came to Perth. They proved them wrong alright!
Guess all we could do is hope for the best. I can't wait to attend my friends weddings though.hahaha. Okay, it's still pretty far into the future. I should get back to studying.
