Personal musings: Love

Love works in different ways. Love is when he is willing to wake up early to send you out to work when he is working afternoon shift. Love is when he insists on sending you to the doorstep when he is obviously tired. Love is when he nags at you for sitting on his bed without showering. Love is when he massages any and everywhere that is aching. Love is when he doesn't mind bloodstains on the bedsheets when the skin problems act up. Love is when you look totally wrecked up and he kisses you on the forehead and tells you that you're the most beautiful in his eyes. Love is when he holds your hand till you fall asleep before he heads home. Love is when he doesn't mind waiting for you even though you are late. Love is when he plays with your ponytail when his mind wanders off somewhere. Love is when he gets irritated with you for being too touchy out in public. Love is when he talks to you about all his life stories; even things that you don't wish to know. Lo...

Love and rejection

The picture that states 'Everyone says love hurts, but that's not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Everyone confuse these things with love, but in reality, love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again.' But think about it. It's because of the existence of love that people will get lonely,  get rejected. If you do not know love, then there is no way to compare and contrast, because you will never know something if you have no experience of. Isn't it? I feel that people think that love is great because love have been too romanticised by the various media. You see it everywhere; movies, dramas, books etc. But these all have the mainstream definition of love. People define love differently, and I don't think that you can just classify love into one category and dump all the examples together. I know I'm adopting the socratic method here but I feel irritated when people make s...

What to do at the Registery of Marriage SIngapore

PL and I took half day leave to go down to ROM for the collection of the ROM stuff. Things to note: The parking uncle is very hardworking. We kena summon due to not putting parking coupon. The appointment is like any other government agency. We still have to take a queue number and wait for around 45 mins despite having an appointment. You have to raise your right hand to make the statutory declaration.  (PL was quite amused by it and asked the officer if there was a CCTV to record it down.) There is also a supposed 15bucks admin fee if you decide to change your JP. We managed to get it waived off as the JP was the one who cannot make it. I think if I knew we had to wait so long,  I would have brought a book along to read @@

Birth Control Pills - Microgynon 30

I'm officially one month into the birth control pills. One thing I love about this, it regulates my menses. Damn shiok to know when exactly it will come. One not very good thing about it - it gives me the headache when I go on and off the pills. I didn't feel it when I took it to delay my menses, but I felt it when I took it for a longer period of time. The afternoon period is always the time when I feel the headache the most, but it stopped after around a week. It's probably still getting used to the extra hormones that is being injected in, but so far, I'm quite happy with it. For now, I think I will just stick to this method until there is a better one (which does not require me to eat the pill at around the same time) >.< I have a tendency to forget about it. So far I have not registered any weight gain yet, and since I have been going to the gym quite frequently recently, my weight has been going down instead.

Happy V-day!

Thank you PL for organising such a wonderful night, and I really enjoyed myself. According to him, it was his first time giving a bouquet of flower bear or what you call it to a girl (I seriously have no idea what he gave his ex, and anyway, her loss is my profit [and happiness?]) and I'm not going to grumble about him spending money on it because it's probably going to be one in a lifetime kinda thing. He said he got it for me because I have not celebrated Valentine's Day before~ :D So our plan was like this: Eat dinner at Tiong Bahru's Eighteen Chefs Watch Wolf of Wall Street at Vivocity at 8.40pm. I guess it's a very typical V-day celebration but I am very touched. ^^ He just reminded me of this song~

Love and marriage before 28.6 years old

There are many people who expressed surprised that I'm engaged and getting married soon. WHY? Because the national average of females with tertiary education getting married in Singapore is 28.6 years, according to  Singstats . So, theoretically I am marrying too young. >.< I don't think I'm making a mistake. I love my soon-to-be-husband, despite all the idiotic things that he does. I admit that I'm not without my flaws either. Just today, I made him upset and disappointed because I overslept (a common occurrence) But, we forgive and made up, no matter how pissed we are at each other. Love is a funny thing. It makes you tolerate the very same things that you don't with other people. It may be mistaken for lust, or infatuation, but when you have seen the person at his very best (and worst), are you sure that is just pure lust? I'm sure cleaning up vomiting after your SO when he is drunk or sick isn't exactly what you signed up for when you fell in ...

How to decide on the itinerary on CNY for new couples/newlyweds

Chinese New Year is a time where you have to visit multiple families. When the couple has to visit both sides of the family on the limited two days that are public holidays, it really needs some planning. If not, be prepared for some quarrels. 1. Do up a schedule of how you and your partner usually spend your 1st and 2nd day of CNY, preferably a week before CNY itself. 2. Compare the schedules to see if you can fit both your schedules in. Chances are no if both of you have big families (Like PL and I *horror*) 2. Circle those which are compulsory. Eg. Elders or those families who would disown you if you don't visit them. 3. Skip those whom you are going to see on other days of CNY if the schedules are too packed. 4. Allow for travelling time, especially if you are travelling from one side to the other side of the island. 5.  After planning the schedule, seek parents for advice. Parents will always have their own quirky ways of thinking that no one can fathom. 6. N...

Debunking the myth: 20 Reasons Tall Guys are the best

http://thoughtcatalog.com/madison-moore/2014/01/20-reasons-tall-guys-are-the-best/ Copied out for easy referencing =D 1. Around a hot tall guy, you get to wear heels with reckless abandon without worrying that you will tower over him! But I don't even wear heels! :( 2. They are born knowing how to pick you up and throw you on a bed :p agree with this fully 3. When you are near a hot tall guy, you feel safe, like nothing can happening to you because other people are intimidated by tall people. Nah, this doesn't happen. He only attracts more attention because his head is sticking out in the crowd. It's easier to spot him when you are looking for him though. 4. You feel safe when they hug you, and your height matches theirs in such a way that your ear hits their heart and you can hear it beat. Erm, in Singapore, it's too hot to hug this tightly. Steam might just come out from the ears. 5. When they hug you from behind they can rest their chin on your head and ...

2nd appointment at Blue Bay Wedding Delfi Orchard

we went over to the Delfi branch at 8pm on a Sunday.  There wasn't any people instead of us. Actually, both of us felt quite bad as the two salespeople in the shop were having their dinner and we interrupted them.  Anyway, our agenda was to tell them more about our expectations of the photoshoot as well as to confirm the timing with them. we have set the date of the photoshoot as 30th april 2014, one day after we touch down from the plane. I want to take photos of the sandy beach and blue skies, while PL wants to have quirky shots, esp with the motorbikes. the salesperson, Olivia, told us to have a Plan B, and she took the time to show us the different photostyles that we might like. PL is also interested in the street style but I guess it was just alright for me. As I was hooked on the sandy beaches, Olivia told me that I can go on the Danshui-YangMingshan route as the scenery is perfect for the stuff that I want. She also recommended that I can shoot with the water lil...

7 things that no one told me about relationships

1) Hormones make people change. It is one thing to say that one value virginity, but when the heat of that moment comes, everything just disappeared to the back of the mind. 2) Passing the trust test does not make trusting people any easier. There is this trend going around in camps to do the trust test. Basically, it involves you falling towards the ground and getting your camp mates to catch you. Believe me, that is not the true test. The true trust test is when you are in a relationship, and your bg/gf ask you if they can go out alone with a member of the opposite sex. (It doesn't help if they are damn popular with the members of the opposite sex) the ideal situation In real life 3) Porn is not the same as sex Porn are just overrated stuff. They all look damn perfect doing all those poses from karma sutra. Maybe they are closet gymnasts. And I bet they are super fit too, with all those thigh muscles working out everytime. 4) The want to spend more ...

Santa Claus is coming to town~

My dear PL got me a uCozy for Christmas! (even though it did not work and we are going through the process of getting a replacement) I really really appreciate the thought, and he was so secretive about it. I didn't know that he got anything till his mum told me about the present this morning! =D Thanks dear~!! It makes me feel bad that I was throwing a tantrum at him on Christmas Eve night because he refused to share the 田鸡 meal with me at Bukit Timah. But we got over it rather quickly so quite heng. It is just so frustrating, knowing that we are both being pissed because we wanted the best for each other. Christmas was spent at both our houses, though the time divided wasn't really that equal. =P I am just so lucky to have him who is willing to tolerate my temper, especially when it comes to feeding time @@ And being the considerate boyfriend that he always he, he waited for me to fall asleep before going home. =D

Thoughts on A double Life

http://www.divaasia.com/article/26820 "I chanced upon my hubby and his other family while on holiday" by Azlinda Said It started out like any other holiday. My husband Fred* and I had been to this hotel many times before. In fact, it had become a ritual for us to visit every year, staying about five days each time - Fred had found the place and I liked the delicious food and wonderful spa treatments they offered. Some years, we went alone, and other years, our two young children would come along. Fred had many friends and business associates there, and he would occasionally leave me to my own devices while he went to meet them, coming back in time for dinner. The other woman On this holiday, Fred, as usual, told me he was going to meet his buddies. Innocently, I asked to tag along - in all the 10 years we had been holidaying there, I'd never met his friends. Fred refused, saying I'd be bored with their mundane chatter. He asked me to enjoy the hotel faci...

Wedding: The wedding rings by Chung Hwa Jade and Jewellery

We went to shop for our wedding rings at Chung Hwa Jade and Jewellery, at Chinatown. My proposal ring was from there too! We were there on a sunday where there were lots of people at the shop, and we had to wait for the crowd to clear before we were able to make our selection. Our budget is around 700 SGD. Since I didn't like the trendy rings that everyone is sporting now, we went ahead with the traditional gold rings. We ended up choosing both rings at SGD 500. There was a workmanship fee of $6 for each ring, but no GST included. All for $500 =D I love the design of the ring, very simple and chic =) The two rings that we got at Chung Hwa Nice right?!! As PL said that he is not going to wear the ring, I'm still wondering what to do with mine. >.<

555 days since we are officially together =D

Our malacca trip before we got engaged. Dear PL was vomiting all the way back due to food poisoning at Breeks Cafe in Malacca. The two of us at Science Centre, playing with the snake. One of the rare times that I was pissed with him, for being overly friendly to girls >.< (Something that I hate a lot -.- ) When we just got together and tried to get that fact from everyone. LOL And...that's all of what I have us together @@ We really need to buck up on the 30 photos before we head off for that taiwan wedding photoshoot.

7 things to discuss before marriage (ROM)

Marriage item 1: Children Yes, we know we know. How can we not think about it when you keep shoving the issue down our throat? Even the pre-marriage course that we went through also have a segment about children. So, for those who like to know, we are thinking of 2 and 2 guys at that. So I get to tumble them down and round, and they won't bother me if the "Mummy, am I pretty?" kind of bimbo talk. Marriage item 2: Finances So far we have not been spending much, with the exception of *ermm.. more than occasional eat-outs* and his motorbike expenses. Other than that, I have been curbing my travel itch. It's a good thing that he is such a good admin-er, because I can't keep track of what I spend. I only know that I very niao and don't wanna spend much. Marriage item 3: In-laws This proves to be a huge headache. Looking at the scene that she created when he came over to my place to eat, it seems like something has to be done. Obviously, she will not tell...

Pre-marital health screening and pap smear

I'm officially broke. Just went to SBCC Women's clinic in Clementi to do pre marital Health Screening and Pap Smear. The bomb to my pocket was $545.xx The pap smear cost $40 while the health screening package is $475. The cost of the health screening package is comparable to the rest of the hospitals or clinics but it's still a bit expensive imo. The doctor took less than 1/2 hr for the blood taking. The experience: It felt damn weird. I was supposed to strip off my underwear so that he could do the pap smear and the ultrasound. I just felt damn exposed lah! @@ The probing was very very uncomfortable. And to my amusement, he used KY jelly and condom for the probe. That was one funny moment. He must have thought that I got a bit high or something. Apparently, I got to wait a few days before the results are out. And I still have to do the implant. And he said that it is best to do it during the first few days of the period. >.< Pls come soon.

Venue - Chevrons  Rental of equipment - pending Booking of Justice of Peace - Called.

Birthday - A Quarter of a Century Old with Psychometric test for DXO position in the mix

It's a memorable birthday - The first birthday that I spent with my SO. Last year, I booked a solo trip to Cambodia so the idea was moot. I didn't expect us to last long then. He was super sweet, taking off to accompany me. I had a psychometric test at DTTB (on my birthday!) and he came to fetch me after that. The test was pretty interesting. It took around 3 hours for me to finish the whole thing. And there were around 20 applicants taking it at the same time. They all applied for different positions. The first was a verbal reasoning test, which tests on your comprehension of the passage. The second one was a patterns test, which is something like the P3 GP test. The third one was a personality test. Only the first two were timed. We went off to Malaysia after that, to celebrate my birthday. Lunched at Manhatten Fish Market. Then off to pump fuel and came back to SG. Went over to Adeline's place to visit her. Then after that, went over to Orchard to look for...

Review: Spooktacular @ Fort Siloso (19/10/2013)

PL and I went for our first and last single's night event. We were slightly late for the event, as we rushed through a lot of stuff before going to Vivo. The $35 ticket was a very good deal. Dinner was included and the spread was not bad. The games were a bit of a clique and everyone was not very comfortable with one another. But the emcee really did put in effort to make the participants talk to one another. The crowd was a little too big though. For the Spooktacular, the queue was crazy. A quick chat with the entrance staff revealed that the night's ticket was sold out. @@ Even the express pass were out. We were the last few who managed to get it. $26.60 for the fast pass. I would say that the fast pass is worth it. We managed to go for all 5 trails even though we started at around 9pm. 2 hours for the fast pass to finish all 5. I would think that it's better than trying to queue in the normal pass lane. My legs were already aching by the time we finished the tr...

1st Appointment: Bluebay Wedding Review

Went to the Singapore outlet on 11 August to book the MUA and PG for our April photoshoot in Taipei. Apparently, they have changed the location of the Taiwan outlet since they have merged with Penny Wu. Didn't managed to book Da Xiong as he is already booked by some other people. In the end, we settled for someone else whom I can't remember the name. Must pray hard that he is a good photographer. Service-wise, I think she was quite good. Water is promptly served when we sat down, and there was another couple who was trying out the gowns at the other side. She asked us if we have any queries after she explained to us that we have to go down to the shop again in Jan for the second appointment. She also reminded us to bring along the nu-bra, high heels, slippers for me and long sleeves for PL. But, I was quite disappointed that we can't decide on the route first in Singapore before going down. Hopefully she will go through the gowns and more information about the Taiwa...
