Why having a relationship is tiresome

Two days ago, my friend suddenly ask me "If you go to Canada for graduate study, then how about your boyfriend ?". I answered, "which boyfriend :), we've broked up long time ago".

Then he jokes to me " Why ? Having a boyfriend is tiresome is it ?"
I answered, "hahaha yes ;)"

It was a joke, but think about it over again.... is having a relationship is REALLY tiresome ?
If so, then why many people wants it ?
I'm daydreaming about it while I drove my car home... and suddenly remembered this nice story :

Who Am I ?

A tale from Attar of Nishapur:

The lover knocked at the door of his beloved.
"Who knocks?" said the beloved from within.
"It is I," said the lover.
"Go away. This house will not hold you and me."

The rejected lover went away into the desert.
There he meditated for months on end,
pondering the words of the beloved.
Finally he returned and knocked at the door again.

"Who knocks?"
"It is you."

The door was immediately opened.

I was reading this story long time ago, and I never feel that this is a nice story before. I think this is a very selfish story. But yesterday, suddenly I understand its meaning. It's really true ;)

So... do you understand it too ^-^ ?

Engagement gift 2

This is my surprise gift. I ever sent similar gift to her boyfriend on last valentine's day, with text 'sumpah aku pernah putih'. It means 'I swear, I was white'. Her boy friend is a black skinned chinese, so we usually tease him. Now I make the counter t-shrit with that text, means 'I swear I want to be black'

Engagment gift

Several days ago, one of my friend send me an sms, telling me that she'll be engaged at 30th this month(she sent d sms last month). I know it right away that its fake, because I have a deadline at Feb 29th, so I remembered clearly that Feb ends at 29th.

Today is her fake engagement day. I sent her a present with angpau attached in front of it. My father wrote the kanji, I use my chinese name on it. I also put one sheet old Rp.100, which looks like new Rp. 100,000.

I cant wait to see her angry face on me ^^, because inside this lovely present, I put something really interesting ;)
