Mogwai on board
Calm down!In the light of day - while chomping down home-cooked breakfast beehoon - last night seemed hilarious...what with Daryl freaking out in the passenger seat while I was behind the wheels for the first time!
Of course, it wasn't so hilarious when I was going through it. He raised his voice at me for THE FIRST TIME EVER - and I gave him hell for it after, though technically, he wasn't raising his voice at ME; he was just screaming "Step on the brake! You're gonna crash!"...my response? I slowed down the car and looked at him with shock. I screamed back "What the hell was that for?! I knew what I was doing! Would you calm down?!"
The funny thing is - Daryl is one of the, well, calmest people I know. He never raises his voice even when we fight and it's not an act. He does have a temper - if he didn't, I would be wondering what's wrong with him - but he doesn't see the need to be loud or aggressive, especially to your girlfriend, just to "have your say".
So I guess this is a note about the way we "fight". We don't shout; we don't scream. There may be some tears - from me - if the thing was bad but we're generally quite calm. I think that's cool.

Say, you could keep a diary of your soujourn into Shanghai: thoughts and experiences, humor-lite, real-life incidents. Who knows, maybe by the end of three years, you may have material which is publishable. A-la "Under the Tuscan Sun"
That's a great idea, Sylvia! Definitely something to work on!
i want a nice even tempered boyfriend too! haha. miss ya!(:
Yeah but he has this tendency to joke about most things which make it hard to figure out when he is serious.
