I think finding the right person is akin to finding that glass slipper that fits, like how the prince found Cinderella. Another description for it would be like wearing that person’s ring and having the ring fit perfectly.
Was having a chat with a church friend recently when she brought up – hadn’t I considered marriage with my ex-bf before? I told her that he considered it. I didn’t. Yes, I’ve mentioned before that the ex wanted to settle down. However, anyone who listened carefully would have realised that I always said that was what he wanted. I never said it was something I agreed to or wanted. If anything, I felt stifled by his constant badgering to settle down.
I’m not one who will commit to something without careful thought – be it agreeing to something or disagreeing, I will always take my time to think about things carefully before I give a commitment. Just because I don’t say "no" to someone’s persistent planning doesn’t mean I agree to the plan.
The ex and I once bought "couple rings" from HK before. Truth be told, I used to like the idea of having a "couple ring". However, when we did buy them eventually, I felt there was nothing special about it. I chose the design of the rings… and it fit sort of ok when I was trying it on. But once I started wearing it, the ring often felt too tight and it gave me a rash. It was certainly symbolic of how I felt about the relationship – stifling. I don’t even want to go into what a pain the rash was…
Anyway, I love the engagement ring Iceman gave me. It fits perfectly. Definitely not too tight and the size 5 probably won’t fit on anyone else’s ring finger but mine. Haha. I suppose the song Better Together would capture how I feel pretty well. (Now if only darn Singtel would stop ignoring my repeated "Tune Request" and include this song as part of its Colour-Me-Tones database!)
Am thinking of using this song in 1 of the 2 photo montages I hope to have at the wedding dinner. Remember you heard it here first! So in the many weddings that will happen from now till August 2009, if someone else uses this song too, I didn’t copy that person! Heh. Am a little sore that my cousin wants to wear a cheongsam for her wedding in May 2009… ‘cos people (relatives) will think that I copied her… when I’ve ALWAYS intended to wear a cheongsam at my wedding.
Shared with her about my favourite combination of engagement ring/wedding band too. I like either an engagement ring with small diamonds like mine, matched with a plain band with perhaps a single small diamond on it, or a plain engagement ring matched with a wedding band with paved diamonds along the top half of the band (aka the "eternity design"). The reason why I didn’t go for the 2nd combination is ‘cos I already have my mom’s eternity ring so I didn’t want a wedding band the same design. Now I’m waiting to see if she’s going to go for the 2nd combi. Ok ok, I know I’m being paranoid and petty but hey, that’s the thing about being a single child you see. We enjoy being unique – one of a kind (well, at least for important things that matter!)
Anyway, here’s the lyrics for the song Better Together. 🙂
There’s no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart,
our dreams, and they are made out of real things
like a shoebox of photographs
with sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer
at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
Why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it’s so hard?
It’s not always easy and
sometimes life can be deceiving
I’ll tell you one thing, it’s always better when we’re together
Mmmm, It’s always better when we’re together
Yeah we’ll look at the stars and we’re together
Well, it’s always better when we’re together
Yeah it’s always better when we’re together
And all of these moments
just might find their way into my dreams tonight,
But I know that they’ll be gone
when the morning light sings
and brings new things
for tomorrow night you see
that they’ll be gone too,
too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
into my day to day scene
I’d be under the impression
i was somewhere in between
With only two,
Just me and you,
Not so many things we got to do
or places we got to be
We’ll sit beneath the mango tree, now
Yeah It’s always better when we’re together
Mmmm, we’re somewhere in between together
Well, it’s always better when we’re together
Yeah, it’s always better when we’re together
I believe in memories
they look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
There is no, no song I could sing
and there is no combination of words I could say
but I will still tell you one thing
We’re Better together
