I was listening to the radio this morning. 97.2FM. There was this talk about ai4 qing2 ma3 la1 song1, or "love marathon". The guest speaker said that two people cannot be in love forever, because love, like life, will naturally grow old and die.

And she also said that two people will only stay happily in love for about two years. After two years, they will get bored of each other. WHAT!? Apparently, the famous seven-year itch has been shortened to two. Miserable.

In the programme, love is described as something practical and functional (quite funny really). Just like a radio show, which must constantly introduce new content to the listeners, the two people also must introduce new things into the relationship.

Apparently, one of the best things to introduce would be children, because children themselves are everchanging, and it's supposedly a joy to watch them grow up. What a laugh. Wait till they go out and get tattoos and piercings and drunk and pregnant. Oh well, assuming they grew up well and untainted, it would be a joy to the parent.

And so I was listening, and I was thinking, well, we don't really need to deliberately introduce things, right? Because everyday is a new day, and something new happens everyday.

Am I bored? I seriously don't know, which may be a good thing, because I may not be bored after all. In any case, it just makes me think of what people have said to me...

That it's "not right" to settle down with the first one you meet.

That it's a "must" to date around. (Damn you lah, casual daters, you're the ones in tears, not me.)

That Mr. Right never shows up this early.

That someday, just someday, somebody will get bored.
