there's something about ..... sumiko

I have been reading Sumiko Tan's column since it started. I dunno why I am attracted to it. Maybe it's the voyeurism nature where you want to read into someone's life, or perhaps the column whined so much you feel that you are just like that.

Anyway, 2 weeks back, Sumiko was writing about breakup between Ronald and Jia wei. She wrote that there are many reasons why couples break up. One of the reasons is :


You weren’t really that into each other in the first place and the reality sinks in after you have exhausted the early bouts of physical desire.

Isn't that a cool statement! You never know there are another way of writing :

You weren’t really that into each other in the first place and the reality sinks in after you are sick of making love with each other.


That is good writing. Not since Adrian Tan's Teenage Textbook have I seen something so poetic.
