Being in a relationship is kinda like being in a band. Mula-mula, kita masuk je band entah apa jadah sebab kita fikir, yang penting kita dapat main muzik dan mengutip pengalaman. Bila dah lama lepak sama, kita akan nampak belang sebenar band mates kita. Then, masa ni la cabaran untuk kekalkan cohesion antara band mates kita bermula.
Gua suka idea brader gitaris/gila-babi-tinggi/belajar-di-UK/kacak/bijak-nak-mampus aka reverie malaya ni. Dalam satu entri brader ni, dia menterjemahkan dinamik hubungan antara lelaki dan perempuan dengan satu graf. Malangnya, brader ni tak lukis pulak graf tu. Jadi gua lukis la graf ni khas untuk pembaca-pembaca yang jenis visual learner.
Dalam hubungan lelaki dan perempuan, akan tiba satu masa dimana kita akan rasa annoyed (terganggu@menyampah?) atau mungkin marah dengan pasangan kita meskipun benda tu kecik. Masa fasa suka sama suka, benda tu kita tak nampak/pura-pura tak nampak sebab kita dibutai oleh sindrom 'wow-minah/mamat-ni-hot-la!'. Tapi tidak lagi bila hubungan sampai di fasa post-kapel/kawin.
Masa ni kita akan akan tau yang dia minat Justin Bieber. Masa ni la kita tau yang dia ni pengotor, pakai jeans tak basuh sebulan. Masa ni kita tau dia percaya Justin Bieber adalah lelaki walaupun hakikatnya Justin Bieber ni faggot. Masa ni kita tau dia tak pandai masak nasik. Masa ni kita tau dia beraspirasi nak anak 10 orang. Masa ni kita tau dia suka nyanyi lagu baby, baby, baby oh baybey...
Bila nak nampak belang, kita ada dua pilihan. Berterus terang dan bergaduh atau berdiam diri dan biarkan rasa menyampah tu membukit menggunung sampai meletup. Bila dah bergaduh atau meletup, kita ada pilihan lagi. Resolve our differences and start finding a common ground or we part ways.
Berbalik kepada simile ciptaan gua. Being in a relationship is kinda like being in a band. Lu orang kenal The Ramones? Bagi gua, this godfather of punk music is the perfect example of how to resolve our differences. Vokalisnya, Joey Ramone dan gitaris, Johnny Ramone adalah dua individu yang sangat kontra. They were always at opposite ends in every aspect of life.
Joey merupakan seorang yang ultra-liberal, ada je benda nak protes kat kerajaan, sentiasa melihat politik sebagai suatu yang corrupted. Manakala Johnny seorang yang ultra-konservatif, sentiasa sokong kerajaan, dari zaman Reagen sehinggalah zaman Bush Sr (bapak GW Bush). Nak tambah spice kat permusuhan mereka, Johnny curi awek Joey; Linda dan kahwin dengan Linda. Joey punya frust sampai banyak lagu dia cipta termasuklah yang paling notable, The KKK Took My Baby Away untuk menceritakan kesedihannya bila Linda tinggalkannya.
Dah gaduh apa cerita elok je depa stay dalam The Ramones dari 1975-1996?
Thay have 'the fix' of being The Ramones. Whenever they were performing as The Ramones, they'd just forget the differences and numb the pain of their differences by throwing a super kick-ass live show. Joey would sing the songs with his trademark hiccups and Johnny would play his guitar with super fast strumming style.
With 'the fix', Joey was not some loser who lost a girl and Johnny was not some bastard who stole Joey's girl. They were Joey Ramone and Johnny Ramone.
So, lu orang dah jumpa 'the fix' dalam hubungan lu orang belum?
"We were real. We were unique. We're like four unique individuals. It's a chemical thing. It's a strong chemical imbalance. Opposite attract and all that crap" - Joey Ramone

Belum lagi la beb. Gua quit jadi guitarist Langgar Lari pasal langsung x boleh nak handle perangai vokalis gua yang langsung x professional, even though on stage. Gua quit jadi vokalis Kesumat sebab...errr...sebab semua orang nak quit. Babi.
Tapi insya-allah,when it comes to marriage or long term commitment, gua akan cuba sedaya upaya.
On the way buat band baru nih. Kali ni dalam skala global. Hambek kau. Mainstream is cool what. Haha!

Annoyed????Menyampah????? All those words certainly dtg dri mulut orang yng bercinta sekadar suke suki......tak serius dan tidak yakin bahawa pasangan die adalah sebenar-benarnya......ataupun dtg dri mulut org yang ego dan tak bersyukur org yang annoyed n menyampah tulah yang akan jage die....
"...Boleh jadi kamu benci kepada sesuatu padahal ia baik bagi kamu dan boleh jadi kamu suka kepada sesuatu padahal ia buruk bagi kamu. "
(Al-Baqarah 216)
ingat surah ni...semat dalam hati para pengannoyed.....bila kamu sudah betol pasti dia la orangyer.,takkan timbulah annoyed or menyampah.....
P/s: kepada sesape yang rase bF/gf de da annoyed dengan anda silalah tinggalkan org yang tak berguna itu...

Kalau dah memang pasangan ko tu kureng ke OKU ke wateva la,
tipu la ko tak nampak kan kekurangan dia.
dah ko yg pilih jadik buta, itu salah ko la.
jantan, kalau dah tak suka, semua tak kena.
kan kan kan?
mula la konon2 annoying la, bini x subur la, selipar jamban dia pon ko nak jadikan isu.
layak ke ko nak judge org?
pikir2kan dan selamat beramal~

this article was narrated to fix and promotes diplomatic confrontation between man and woman.
in this case, you take one word (annoyed) and reflect your whole judgment based on this one word whilst at the same time you take the rest of the intonation and words for granted.
btw, thanks for your input. i'll definitely remember it the next time.

no i'm not. but did you read the rest of the article? did you? and did you know exactly the kind of message i'm conveying on this one?
talk about being judgemental.

yes i did
and it sounds like now i'm annoyed with you, i can take it anymore and please leave me alone.
maybe you think you write this entry to "promote diplomatic between both gender" whatsoever but frankly you're not.
it does sound really selfish since you don't even consider your partner.it's all about you.
maybe YOU are the one who really need to re-read your entry then.

how did you know how frank i was or wasn't when writing this entry?
listen, i can totally understand the annoyance towards me. you're on her side. but, i really think maybe you should keep that to yourself.
ah to quote from you again:

kau puji aku lebih-lebih nak tshirt mogwai selai ke bai? keh keh keh. btw susah nak dapat relationship macam ramones tu. that's why they are the ramones.
sebenarnya aku percaya, putus cinta adalah perkara yang paling meningkatkan kreativiti seseorang. sekali-sekala putus cinta, best juga.
