How much do you think you know that someone?

Ever really think deeply into that question? Do you really know that someone well, inside out? Or do you know this someone at all? Sometimes we thought we had this person so well, but slowly came to realise - How much do I not know about you? I was actually sitting down at one of the 24-hrs coffeeshop last night, sipping my tea-si-kosong with my brother 3 years my senior for the 1st time in my 24yrs! That was unbelievable, we actually chatted so much! Unlike many others, my family wasn't close to each other, esp with my dad. My dad is surviving on this yr'05 planet with a mind-set that is still stuck in 1950's - perhaps that's why we don't / can't communicate at all.

"VICEROY,Menthol" - my brother took out one cigarette from the box and lighted it. I never knew he smokes, or am I not being observant enough or that I didn't even think about him at all? It was from our conversation, his way of speech, how he carries himself that got me started thinking - now I truly know how 'close' and bonded we are as siblings. He was himself that night or I finally got to know him. I know he owns a food stall, but only got the address last night, and will be dropping by for free dinner some time =) I am amazed on how guys can drink so many cups of drinks/tea within 2 hours?? Well... at least 1 is enough for me.

My bf once asked me "dear, what exactly do we have in common?" I replied immediately "Yes, of cos we have.." and I paused. Started going through my brain, searching and grouping those common points we have or common things we like, etc. "NO RECORDS FOUND" I panicked - is it so? Next following day, I asked this good friend of mine the same question - "What do you and you bf have in common?" Guess what, she had the same thoughts as me *phew* Come to think about it, all couples definitely have something or at least few things in common... for my case - eventually quick-tempered (as though that can be counted as "common")! It's not all about having something in common but how you're going to make this relationship be bonded as one. Having someone you love by your side, one will tend to share activties/sports/type of food cruisine with each other, it will just come by.

So, just enjoy each day with your loved ones, sharing things you both like together. Trust me - love is about everything.
