Last week, I celebrated Justin's 33rd birthday 
(yeah I had to spell it out loud)... from 10,000 miles away!

I have to admit that long-distance relationship takes a lot of hard work. 
The distance makes a lot of things harder - especially when it comes
to celebrating special occasions together.

Instead of sulking the whole day for not having each other's physical company 
on special days, there are still ways to enjoy special occasions and show our love & care.

One of the way is...

--- A Video Chat Date! ---

Being there at real time is important, despite the time difference; Justin's 8a.m, Joyce's 9.p.m. 

It helps to get into the mood with fun party pack! For Justin's birthday, I got a few birthday items 
like cakes, helium balloon, colorful hats, noisemakers, and I wrote him a card too!

I make sure that I get to sing him birthday song, and that he get to make a wish... although it 
means I have to be the one eating the cake at the end of the day.

ldr birthday, ldr gift, long distance relationship, ldr special occasion
His birthday party in Malaysia!

ldr birthday, ldr gift, long distance relationship, ldr special occasion

Another way to show that you care...

--- Send Him Care Packages ---

Like... A gift!

Sending each other handwritten letters and gifts is important to keep the relationship alive.
And it is even more important to be extra-sweet on special occasions.

I gave him a few presents when he was here 2 months ago 
for him to bring back to Orlando and to open only on the specific occasions.

For his birthday, I got him a matching t-shirt with me - soooo looking forward to wearing it together! 

Because I like camouflage...

Or... A Cake!

Birthdays will not be complete without your significant someone! ....or a cake!

To compensate my absence, I searched high and low (Google & Instagram in this case)
for a bakery in Orlando that makes good cakes, and provides delivery!

The first problem with this surprise is that I'm unfamiliar with bakeries in Orlando 
and I had to send emails to a few bakeries to ask about the delivery services 
and choices of cakes they have.

Tips : Make sure to read reviews for the bakeries. Take serious consideration 
if the bakery is capable to deliver a whole cake without smashin em' up 
- yes apparently it happened, as stated in numerous reviews.

Making sure that this will not happen to Justin's birthday cake

The second problem is... he's working and I DON'T HAVE HIS OFFICE ADDRESS!

I looked up the address for the company he's working with, but it turn out that 
they have several offices. I remembered him telling me that it takes approximately
15 minutes to drive to work. Google map is very handy in this situation as I'm trying to 
locate the office that's 15 minutes away from his home address - VOILA~

To be safe, I gave the bakery his mobile number if they fail to 
locate his office - no surprise if the bakery calls, but at least he'll get the cake.

So he did. A total surprise with his name called out loud on the intercom.

Delicious made-from-scratch coconut-lemon cake
from Sugar Loft Bake Shop

Well, he wasn't pleased with the surprise and told me that I can send it to 
his house instead, and for the next time I'm planning for a surprise. 
At first, his comment crushed my heart as I feel that my efforts were all in vain, 
but then later I understood his concern about security issues in the office.

--- Effort ---

All in all, he had a good day and I'm glad that distance 
did not keep me from making the birthday boy happy.

It takes extra effort and planning to make this happen. 
Again, long-distance relationship is not easy! 
But with love, trust, effort, and the same goal in mind, I believe we can make things work.


** HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN OLD MAN! **

I just had to post this... you make a very good impersonation of an old man!

Being a girl who is not accustomed to outdoor activities, 
needless to say... adventures, to register myself for Mount KK Expedition 2013
appear to be a shocking news to everyone - including myself.

Many were curious in knowing why.
I guess there was a point when my self-esteem was being ripped off,
and at the end of a miserable experience, I was left worthless.

Feeling like a loser in dealing with my own life,
I decided to take charge again and felt the need to regain back my self-worth.
I wanted to take small steps to reassure and convince myself that 
I may fail in certain things in life, but NOT EVERYTHING. 

Been taking small steps to achieve small little goals.
Then bigger goals. Then set a resolution to it.
Every little achievement I've made, made me proud of myself.

The Mount KK Expedition wasn't for me initially.
Only 80 out of 198 registrants got picked randomly.

But as I was eager to join, I attended every single training they have.
During the first few weeks of training, the "not so eager ones" dropped out.
So I got in!

Series of training have been planned out by 
external trainer to ensure that we work our butts off!

Bukit Saga / Apek Hill at Cheras,
 Gunung Angsi at Negeri Sembilan, 
and Gunung Nuang at Hulu Langat.

First training at Bukit Saga - I thought I was gonna die with my heart pumping
so hard that I could feel that it's gonna pop out!!!

The waterfall at Bukit Saga - marks that the peak is near!

Gunung Angsi wasn't that bad actually.
We were going slow and steady. 

Gunung Nuang made Bukit Saga seemed like a peanut.
My leg was jelly-like when I reached Kem Pacat.
It is a long way with alot of obstacles to make sure we are all PANCIT!
I didn't made it second time around though..

Our second visit to Bukit Saga was a breeze!
It's getting easier after every training and I'm glad we've improved.

These training are really tough!!!
And it definitely reminded me how unfit I am!

To ensure that our level of fitness, we are also told to undergo a series of
physical fitness test by Sunway Medical Centre too.
Passed that... almost failed the lung test though.

I've really tried my best in all my training, and there has been
some bad times when I had muscle cramps and have to refrain from continuing the hike.
It kind of demotivating, but I just kept moving.

Now that the actual hike is just around the corner,
I'm unsure if that's what I opted for...
Am I up to climbing at Mount KK?!!
Am I capable of going all the way up to 4,095 metres (13,455 ft) above sea level?!!
This is a no-joke, there are people who died from AMS during the hike!!!

*paranoid*

There are no room for doubt now.
I've come this far.
I did what I should.
External, internal and my own training.
I did it all.

I seriously, really, sincerely, truly, madly, deeply, hope that I'll made it to the peak.

May God be with me all the way.

Flying off at 7.30am tomorrow morning.

Wish me luck peeps!!!

Thanks God I've made it through Thursday.



It has been a boring week!

The single men and single ladies who have kept me company / needed my company,
 seemed to be busy with their own agenda recently.

Makes me wanna ask my friends who have stayed single for awhile now 
"How did you manage to stay single all these years?!!!"



8 months have been the longest that I've been out from a relationship.
Still counting. 
Don't know how long more.


I actually enjoyed being single.


Not tied up with one particular person.
Or to be dragged along with his activities, his friends, his family etc.
And all those time are catered for my own activities, my friends, my family etc.

The full 8 months of me just pampering myself, just being me, living my life.
All these time I've never realized the potential I have in me.
The things I'm capable of doing.
I've rediscovered my passion for so many wonderful things in life.
Coz finally, I have time to concentrate in nothing but me.

But sometimes I really miss the feeling of being taken.



It's always a blessing to have someone to called "mine".
To be able to love, care and cherish someone.
To be happy just by making someone happy.
To have something to look forward to - could be as simple as a lunch date,
an anniversary, planning for a romantic Valentine's Day,
to save money for a place called home, to have babies together.
To have someone who love me, care for me,
and committed in wanting to spend the rest of his life with me.


The biggest relief is to have someone and knowing that I am not alone,
and will not be alone.
That I will always have someone with me, to make me feel safe.
Someone who assure me that I don't have face any storm alone,
and that the strength of two person combined is always tougher than fighting alone.
Someone whom I know will stick by me through thick and thin,
and will always be with me irregardlessly.




For once, I just don't mind being dragged to his activities.
Meeting his friends is enjoyable because it means 
knowing him more and loving the people he treasures.
And every single minute spent with his family is precious coz spending time with his family,
loving and caring for his parents is an act to return all the favors, kindness they have showered him, 
and a way of thanking them for nurturing him into becoming someone I love.

Whoever in his life is a part of mine, and it means I've got more people to love me!



So.. Having the best relationship is the balance of both single and in a relationship.

We get to have our own space to express our personal needs to be with our own friends, 
spend a few hours to read our girly book without disturbance, 
to go for spa and massages for some alone-time etc.
And yet we get to enjoy each other's company just like what couples do in a relationship.

I get to do all these in my past relationship.
I thank all my previous partners for letting me be me, accepting me who I am, 
and helped me grow - not containing me in their perceived relationship / ideal image of life together.

Being single now is something new for me.
8 months is not enough of time for me to get used to.

There are alot of things I missed and had forgotten how it feels like when being in a relationship.

I misses those time when I can talk to someone throughout the night - and realized 
"WTF! How did we talked for 3-4 hours non-stop every single night 
and yet it seemed like there's whole load more to talk about?!!"



I misses those time when mum asked 
"Did you sleep talk yesterday night? Heard you laughing at 3am in the morning!" 
but in fact I just had one of the best conversation with that special someone. 
Sense of humour is the fire, passion, and root of a healthy relationship. 



I misses someone who I can talk to just about anything and everything without being judged.
Someone who I can call my life partner without losing him as my best friend.

I misses someone who is being himself and not pretending to be someone he is not. 
Being with someone who is TRUE gives me sense of security that makes a relationship last. 

I misses someone who I can do crazy things with,
talk stupid with, and we both could laugh at the same old jokes over and over again.
I want someone to pillow fight, water fight, tickle, bite, and do all the stupid things with!



Why don't anyone believe whenever there is a self-declaration of my status?
Is being single so hard to believe?
They said...  I have "high standards".

They thought I'm looking for some kind of rich, handsome and romantic prince charming.
Which era are they living in?
Don't they know that HE does't exist?



As simple as it may be. Or as hard for people to believe in.
I just need someone who I can feel comfortable with, can have alot of laughter with, 
the same one person who I don't mind talking to until we are in old age
and someone who makes me feel secure now, and in the future.
Someone who will do his best in letting me know that I'm the only one - always and forever.



But until that someone arrives with God's plan,
I would want to enjoy my life.
There's so much more to do and learn.
I want to climb up the highest mountain.
I want to fly with the birds, swim with the fishes.
To sing my heart out and for once, sound good - not like a frog!
To cook like a true Nyonya.
To bake my favourite cake and pastries.
To make up, dress up, and break some guy's heart.

And when I'm done and tired of all the above,
maybe I'll opt for something more relaxing.
Like spending some peaceful time with friends.

If you are one of the lucky ones who receive my call, 
make sure you don't decline my invitation else you gonna be sorry!!!



And during the journey of self discovery, I would love to find someone who will
 always makes me feel WANTED every single day...
(even when I'm old, with freckles, crinkles, toothless etc)

Overheard this song playing
in my colleague's PC.

Attracted by the simple melody.

Google the song and found that
the lyrics captured my heart too.

Very simple lyrics.

What's more to say when these are
the only words that rhyme in the heart, right?

Caramel Band-Tinggal Kenangan (Official Video).mp4



Caramel - Jauh Kau Pergi (Tinggal Kenangan) lyrics


Pernah ada rasa cinta
Antara kita kini tinggal kenangan
Ingin ku lupakan semua tentang dirimu
Namun bayangmu slalu ada dalam setiap langkahku

Chorus:-
Jauh kau pergi meninggalkan diriku
Disini aku merindukan dirimu
Kini ku coba mencari penggantimu
Namun tak lagi kan seperti dirimu
Oh kekasih

Repeat chorus

Masih terlintas di mataku
Gambaran wajahmu yang kini tinggal kenangan
Ingin ku lupakan semua tentang dirimu
Namun bayangmu slalu ada dalam setiap langkahku

Repeat chorus x2


------------------------------------------------------


I cry for the time that you were almost mine,
I cry for the memories I've left behind.
I cry for the pain, the lost, the old, the new,
I cry for the times I thought I had you.


You want me to act like we've never kissed,
you want to forget,
pretend we've never met,
and I've tried and I've tried,
but I haven't forget yet.


I'd like to believe that I'll wake up one morning
and not miss you anymore.
I'll finally understand that when you broke my heart
it was for a reason,
one I just don't understand yet,
but when I do,
I'll know that you messed up,
and not me.

--------------------------------------------------------

Everytime you surrender yourself to love,
You give it all to that one special person.
Doing this means you put your whole life on his / her hands.
Expecting to spend the rest of your life with them.

To be loved is great.
But to love someone who loves you back is even greater.
No other feeling in this world that could match this.

But even the best relationship does not last forever.
Nobody gets through life without losing someone they love,
someone they need,
or something they thought was meant to be.

Just remember that because something doesn't last forever,
doesn't mean it wasn't worth your while.

It is not always a HAPPY ENDING.

Mika - Happy ending lyrics


 

Mika - Happy Ending lyrics


This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.


This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.


Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell


This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone for ever more
I feel as if I'm wastin'
And I'm wastin' everyday


This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.


This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.


2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind
Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around
If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on


This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more


I feel as if I'm wastin'
And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.


This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.


A Little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love [repeat]


I feel as if I'm wastin'
And I'm wastin' everyday


This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.


This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
To live the rest of our life,
But not together.


This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.

In reality sometimes she'll get back what she wants, whenever and however she wants it.

Just because she can.




Cher Lloyd - Want U Back ft. Astro


     


CHER LLOYD WANT YOU BACK LYRICS

Uh!
Mmm, yeah.
La la la la laaa
Uh!


Hey, boy you never had much game
Thought I needed to upgrade
So I went and walked away way way
Uh


Now, I see you've been hanging out
With that other girl in town
Looking like a pair of clowns clowns clowns
Uh


Remember all the things that you and I did first?
And now you're doing them with her
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
You got me, got me like this
Uh


And now you're taking her to every restaurant
And everywhere we went, come on!
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
You got me, got me like this
Uh


Boy you can say anything you wanna
I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Uh



I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin'
Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin'
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Uh


Please, this ain't even jealousy (jealousy)
She ain't got a thing on me (a thing on me)
Tryin' to rock them ugly jeans jeans jeans
Uh


You clearly didn't think this through
If what I've been told is true (is it true?)
You'll be crawling back like boo hoo hoo
Uh


Remember all the things that you and I did first?
And now you're doing them with her
Remember all the things that you and I did first?
You got me, got me like this
Uh


And now you're taking her to every restaurant
And everywhere we went, come on!
And now you're taking her to every restaurant
You got me, got me like this
Uh


Boy you can say anything you wanna
I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back

Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin'
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Uh


Ohhh, I thought you'd still be mine
When I kissed you goodbye uh oh uh oh
Ohhh, and you might be with her
But I still had you first uh oh uh oh


[Astro - rap verse]
Let's go! Astro!
We used to be, but now there's a separation between you and me
Baby I'm moving on to another girl that understands me more
Dated her in front your place so you can see it all
I remember the times, when we used to bond
But I never realized that you wanted to be mine
So I gave her the ring, instead of you, nickname too
I can tell that you're upset, because it ain't you
Met a new girl, and I gave her my heart
Not noticing that you wanted me from the very start
You want me back?
We can just be friends, don't try this thing all over again


Ohhh-Oh-oh-oh
Boy you can say anything you wanna
I don't give a shh, no one else can have ya
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Uh


I broke it off thinking you'd be cryin'
Now I feel like shh looking at you flyin'
I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Uh
(Let me know)

Ohhh, I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Uh


Ohhh, I want you back
I want you back
Wa-want you, want you back
Uh


Does this sound like a helicopter!? (bbbbbbrrrrrddddd)

A song to play while blogging / reading this...

Adele - Make You Feel My Love




It's crazy how one minute you are making all these plans and promises with someone and then the next minute they are out of our life.

All it takes is one moment, one word, one misunderstanding, or one unfortunate incident to create a ridiculously large amount of doubts and pain.

It is not easy to forget a person. The words, the feelings, and the anticipations that you two have once built stays forever.

It digs holes into your heart, and it simply hurts.

It hurts the most when the person that made you feel special yesterday can make you feel unwanted today.

No words can describe how I feel.

While I sit down, recalling that silly cheeky smile of his.
Recalling the small talk, lame jokes, and all the laughter.

I can go days without talking to him, months without seeing him,
but not a second goes by that I don't think about him.

All the memories cheers me up, but hurts at the same time.

I wish I had a delete button in my life to delete some memories and feelings.

To know what I once had, all these happiness in my hand.
And it slipped away just like that.

The pain I have, no heart can bear, flesh or steel.

At times I hope he could just tell me from the start that he's only gonna break my heart.

Then I wouldn't had loved. And not loved too much.

But you know what?

We all got to move on one day.

Yes, every now and then people get broken hearted.

You don't see them stucked in a failed relationship for years. Some does, but WHAT FOR?

It doesn't make sense to let go of something you had, but it also doesn't make sense to hold on when there's actually nothing there.

What's the point of reminiscing when you know the person is no longer worthwhile, when they're no longer who they used to be, when their heart is somewhere else?

Sometimes all I wanted is to know that he still care for me, sitting there thinking about me, or prolly certain things may remind him of me?

Sometimes, it's not about missing someone, but it's wondering if they're missing you.

Do you think they will?

Frankly, they don't.

Ever since September 2012, we ignored each other and pretended like the other person doesn't exist. Deep down, I know it wasn't supposed to end like this. But what can I do if my non-existence in his life is somehow a blessing for him and his reconciliation with his ex-gf.

So give up. Give up hope. Give up on him. Not because I don't care anymore. But because I realized that he doesn't care at all.

Think of what he may feel when he read this?

Is he's gonna care, or feel guilty about my hopeless love for him?

He's just gonna laugh at me for being here still stucked in memories of him while he has another girl in his arms.


LET IT GO, MOVE ON AND LOOK FORWARD!!!


I'm looking forward to a relationship.
Not a perfect relationship, because perfect is impossible to have.
I want a trustworthy, honest, loyal and loving relationship.
I don't want a man who promises to reach for the starts and bring me the moon.
I just want a man who has the depth to stand by me, no matter my moods and shortcomings.
And cares for my likes and dislikes.
I need a man who is strong enough to be faithful to me, and who can promise me a lifetime of love.
I want imperfections to create some heat, fire, arguments and laughter.
I don't want perfection.
I want worth it.
I don't need a PERFECT ONE, I just need someone who can make me feel that I'M THE ONLY ONE.


So here's to girls who love someone that doesn't love them back.
The hopeless romantics and the daydreamers.
The girls that fall and get hurt, but still stand up smiling.
To girls still hope even though they have been disappointed,
To girls who still believe even though they've been betrayed,
To girls who still love even though they've been hurt before,
Here's to girls that will someday find the happy ending they dream about.


"It has been said that time heals all wound. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue, and the pain lessens, but is never gone."
- Rose Kennedy


"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward."
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


"The past should be the past. It can destroy the future. Live life for what tomorrow has to offer. Not for what yesterday has taken away."


"Don't you ever REGRET knowing someone in your life. Good people will give you happiness, bad people will give you experience, while the worst people will give you a lesson. And the best people will give you MEMORIES."


Cheers to 2013. A year that I need to take the extra mile in doing myself proud.

Everybody help me to "jia you jia you" ohh~~~ :)


By this time, the song may have finished playing. One of my favourite song. Originally sung by Bob Dylan. But I love when Garth Brooks sings it. Then, Bryan Ferry from Britians Got Talent make a very good version if it too. Am sharing Adele version in 2008. No matter who sings it, it remain a good song.

Meaningful lyrics below...


"Make You Feel My Love"


When the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.

When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.

I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
But I would never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.

I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
Though winds of change are blowing wild and free,
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love

Thursday, January 3, 2013


Dumped the 2012 calendar that have been sitting on my desk for the whole year.

Before it go down to the bin, I flipped it back to
Jan.. Feb... March... all the way till Dec 2012.

Saw my remarks on special days - short trips, buddies birthday,
special dinners, the date I was introduced to someone,
date and places of memorable dates with him,
and eventually reminded about the break upsss in 2012
(yes, break ups with more than one 's')

WOW

That's alot to swallow.

How much could happen in a year?
How much a year could change you?
How a stranger would meant so much to you in a year?
And how the same person would turn to be stranger to you again in the same year?
How much damage a year could to do you?



 
Am glad I survived.

Time to stop dwelling about it.

2012 is gone. Be done with it.

Started 2013 with busy days in the office.

You may find it often that when it comes to end of the year,
people will start asking and posting about what you've / they've done and been in 2012,
and what's your / their new resolution in 2013 etc.

It's bullshit.

If you want to start a resolution, you don't have to wait till 31st December to
decide on what you gonna start doing in 1st January.

You can do it whenever you are ready - not necessarily the new year, eh?

Whenever you tell yourself, "I'm gonna shed that 5kgs in 2012! "
Did this actually happen?

If yes, congratz! 
Bravo for keeping promises to yourself. 

If not, then welcome to the club!
No sweat, many did not make it too.

Resolutions is just something to make you think you have something new to look forward to.

But my experience tells me that when I want to do something, I'll
do it instantly - without picking a good dates for it.

New year to me, is merely the change of calendar, and reminding myself
that I shouldn't be writing / using 2012 anymore.
(I'll usually do this careless mistake in the office for at least a month to
finally accept the fact that the new year has arrived)

Don't deny you've not been doing this. Haha!

What's good about the new year to me, is that I'm hoping that luck would turn to new leaf.

Hope that things would be better.
Hope that there will be lesser shit being thrown at me.
Hope that life would be kinder to me.
That's all I'm hoping for.

Nevertheless, I would want to take this opportunity to thank
everyone who have been there for me in my ups and downs of life.

I had my share of good times, and bad times in year 2012.
But with support and love from my family and friends
I have learnt to appreciate the good things in life again.

I'm here today, still standing and smiling,
because I have all of you in my life.

Thank you! :)


forget what you feel, remember what you deserve, forget the pain, remember what an incredible woman you are
"Sometimes all you have to do is FORGET what you FEEL,
and REMEMBER what you DESERVE.
And sometimes you need to FORGET the PAIN,
and REMEMBER what an INCREDIBLE woman you are."

Putting up 2013 calendar on my desk.
Anxiously anticipating to fill it up with more happy and memorable days.

Hope to hit a few
major-life-changing-buttons in 2013.
(Changes as in good ones okay, God? Don't mess it up this time.. haha!)


** Happy New Year once again,
and wishing the best for everyone too! **

We have heard people saying "I'm waiting for my Mr. Right..."

Has anyone ever wondered why is it that we call them Mr. Right and not Mr. Perfect?

Coz nobody is perfect in this world, this includes you, and me.

Saw online that some have a long list on what they want from their Mr. Perfect.

"good looking, have a great sense of humor, be social, really smart, very successful, sensitive yet strong, emotionally available and stable, thoughtful, sexy, sweet"

Imagine your bf / gf expecting the same from you.

Wow.. stressful isn't it?



My sincere opinion is that the above criterias are bullshit!

It doesn't require someone to try really hard / or to be the perfect one,
coz if they are the right one, things will fall into place for each other.. naturally n perfectly.

A guy who might be the Mr. Perfect for everyone else,
may not be Mr. Right for me.

To my Mr. Right, who is nothing but PERFECT to me,  
I can't wait to meet you, coz we're so gonna...

 love each other
 care for each other
 feel happy being with each other
make each other smile
make each other laugh
 love spending time with each other
 share common interest
have great fun doing things together
give meaning and add value to each other life
be the best person to talk to about problems in life
 share ideas / feelings openly
be a good person to each other
make each other a better person
treat each other family like our own
NEVER EVER HURT each other
be generous, honest, trustworthy
be committed into a long-lasting relationship with each other

last but not least,
we will grow old gracefully together... :)

This post initiated from watching lovey dovey Azlan and Dian yesterday.

Feel happy for them, and their struggle through hardship
in their 10 over years of courtship before getting married this year.

Thank you for being such a good role model and
restore my faith in love.. and in men.


Azlan and Dian Chong
 Happy for both of you, and congratulations once again!!!

Love may be like this giant glass of margarita..
It may be sweet..
It may be sour..
It may even be bitter..
I might like it..
I might not..
But I'll dive in anyway..
Coz I will not be afraid of what I'll find..
That dive worth the risk..
Coz there are chances that I may end up drunkenly in love.. :)

Cheers to LOVE!

At this very moment, there is someone, somewhere, who will be my lifelong partner. We will hold hands, share laughter, maybe have some arguments, raise our little pesky children, watch them grow, watch them leave and in the end, enjoy each other’s company for the rest of our lives.

He might not know it yet, neither do I. He may be watching a movie or having drinks with his friends, or perhaps crying because someone broke his heart. But one day, as fate slowly reveals its secret, we will be together.

To the one who will love, accompany and support me in my life’s journey, I want to say thank you in advance. Wherever you are now, I hope you are happy and doing well. Can’t wait for the day when we will finally meet. Cheers =)
