Furniture Shopping

Hyena all.......hope ya'll in the pink of halth........i mean health.

Its 2 months through my engagement. So far its fine. Its breezy and great. I was thinking, i've known him for so long, and he knows me for so long...so it must be easy for us to get along.

The problem is, when u are engaged, a new side of yourself and ur other half is revealed. Its funny...when u thought u know that person inside out, something new about that person came up.

Lemme tell you exactly what i mean. This is just my experience.

These few months, we're trying to furnish the apartment where we will live together. I have a picture of what i want in my head, and he has his own picture in his head too. The mistake is, we didnt discuss 'our pictures' at all....haha. I simply forgot to discuss about it. I already set the things that i want, and where to put it and i also want certain place in the house to be empty (nothing to be placed there). I want something that is classy and at the same time look modern with some characters in it (wardrobe/cabinets....etc).

So we went on a trip to Ikea to find our second wardrobe (one wardrobe is not enough) and a rak for my many books and his books and a chest drawer for storage and some storage for the kitchen and maybe a cute low cabinet to put the phone and a nice chair...bla bla bla....huhuuh. And then, so it happen.... Mind-Clashing. He wants other things....i want other things. i do not agree certain things that he wants, and where he wants to put it....and he said what i want is not suitable and not necessary!

Sounds simple....but at times, u can feel the frustration and annoyed when you dont find any agreement for certain things. This is what i mean when i say something new....because we never go shopping for furniture before. This is the first time. And i never knew he want that thing and dont want this thing and he wanna put that thing over there....bla bla bla. And each of us cant imagine what the other person is saying about where to put it all....its stressful. Not to mention we have a budget to stick to.

Its only an apartment!....what if we want to furnish a bigger house? God knows!

But this is not a big problem actually. Its actually interesting to find a new side of the other person. Like, i never know he likes dark colored furniture....like, black! But i can find a way to make it nice and not make the whole house look gloomy with black furniture....like, green carpet! Ha.....i want a green carpet! =D

We'll try to find a way to get what we want for the house. Or what we call....compromise. We have been compromising with each other perangai....we can compromise this one too, right babe? =)

Till next time......x0x0
