"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the ( Read more... )

"May you never steal, lie, or cheat. But if you must steal, then steal away my sorrows, and if you must lie, lie with me all the nights of my life, and if you must cheat, then please cheat death because I couldn't live a day without you."

It's the 31st of December - reflections for 2010 and resolutions for 2011 ought to be in order already! :)

Was being reminiscent and nostalgic a few nights ago while talking to J and reading my blog entries from Aug 2009 onwards. And so, I came across the post on Jan 1 2010, and reflected on what I have achieved, what I have gained and lost and if ( Read more... )

This afternoon, I caught up with The Ex and it was way better than I expected. I'm glad we managed to sort things out and put things back on the right track before the year ends. And it's comforting to know that I can always treat him like a friend that I wanna tell things to/go to advice for (and v-v too), although our friendship will never be the ( Read more... )

Today was a day of many epiphanies - many of which I warmly welcome in my life, especially at a time like this.

Somehow or some way, the last of the 30-day meme which I posted yesterday was like some sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy - if I told myself it's the last I'll ever get emotionally affected over him, then it WILL be. Not even an ounce of ( Read more... )

This year, I wanted a semi-huge party-like celebration with 2 of my closest groups of friends, because I know that for my 21st-do, I want to have many mini-celebrations/meetups with ALL my friends, so that I can spend good quality time with them. (But then again, this might change when the time comes next year..) And in any case, I thought having ( Read more... )

Okay 'LIFE' is too major and grand for someone of almost-20 years young to comprehend in its entirety yet. I mean, I have not gone through all the major 'milestones' in life that those Adults claim they have, like you know, your first job, marriage, kids and of course, death, or illness. I'm still a wee lass, so let's just talk about my 'life' as I ( Read more... )

Last year was a good year of traveling - in under a month, I spent 3 days in HK shopping walking eating and eating, 2 weeks in wintry Japan winding down the last days of 2009, and 3 days on a romantic getaway to Batam with the then-boyfriend. 
Blogsurfing as usual, I chanced upon one of my regular blog-read's not-so recent trip to Japan. And me ( Read more... )

Read this today and promptly shared it on FB with the rest of the world - the most inspiring read of the day. And what's best was that it came at a point in the day where I was running about for classes/meetings and feeling really burnt for the moment. Needless to say, it made my day. (Besides the bimbo-bitch exchange with my best friend @candchong ( Read more... )
