a cup of coffee

I was asked by a friend, how it feels like to know that you’re gonna live off your whole life with a certain person that you love?

Well, I don’t exactly have an answer for that, but I gave that friend an example of something else instead, something that’s easier to imagine, something that’s much simpler.

I said – imagine that you’re having a cup of coffee at your favorite bistro, or cafe, or anywhere. Then suddenly, you thought of going home.

Now … when you’re single, it is likely that when you think of going home, you’ll have this heavy feeling of weariness. (almost the same feel when Monday approaches on Sunday night).

That’s because, there’s nobody at home to expect you and you’re all alone. And in the midst of everything else, you got reminded of your undone laundries, your unmopped floor, your cold hard bed, and basically everything that kills your mood of wanting to go home.

And because of that, you hope that your coffee would not be finishing so soon, to spread the time thin.

But when you are living your life with someone you love, the feeling would be completely the opposite. You know that someone’s gonna wait for you at home… to have dinner with you, to watch TV with you, to talk to you and always there to share your thoughts with. There’s this warmth that makes you can’t wait to finish up that cup of coffee … because it’s time to go home.

That’s the best description I can ever come up with.

(that explains why I seldom stay late at work… I always feel like going home…)

    Who said Michael is a “arm kong ciao” You see! all time he is not losing roads leading to his home. It must be something or someone driven to his “kwoi kwoi hooi chia”. But I’m not sure if he were having a jar of bear!
