Argument continues and GOD KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED.


The dialogue and scene above was witnessed by my two ears and the other ears of my friends who were hanging out at my condo last weekend.

It definitely made my night more interesting.

I am still traumatized by this huge argument that I overheard.
It was the people living downstairs and I have a feeling it was the unit right below mine because it was so loud and clear that it was impossible not to overhear it.
Now I understand why it is unhealthy for children to witness arguments/fights between their parents. It will definitely haunt them forever.
This weekend's experience has traumatized me further, and made me become even more afraid of marriage.
There's so much infidelity going on these days. What's the point of staying married if you are not loyal to each other?

Trust me, this is not the first time I've 'bumped' into couples fighting. There was once, a Korean couple here was arguing and my ears witnessed it.

Once, at a friend's place in Subang, a Chinese couple was arguing.

Can't rewrite the argument as I don't understand Korean nor Chinese.

To the people downstairs, if you can't work it, break it. Get a divorce. Actually I'm wondering what the couple look like, and what happened after that. Hehe!
