After much consideration, I decided to let the wedding continue.
Reasons:
- Save our parents' and our face.
- He also loves me and also feels that he wants the wedding too as he still has that feelings for me.
- It is so near to the wedding date already, kind of too late to back-out or postpone.
- Lots of effort and cash has been pumped in for the wedding, so kind of wasted it is cancelled.
- Since, I was the one who created the mess years ago, I must live with the aftermath of it no matter what.
- Most importantly, we still do love each other. That should be sufficient enough to carry on the wedding.
Just like what one of friend said to me, as long as he loves u truly and still showers you will other forms of intimacy like kisses and hugs, sex ain't crucial.
I must be determine to prove that a sexless marriage will still be a fulfilling marriage.
About Me
- Mint + Bitter Chocolate = Heaven
- Just the blunt and honest me. Just someone who needs to air her inner most feelings and thoughts. Just a female who suffers from a crazy life journey, with lots of ups and down in her life. Just another moronic human being who wishes for peace and serenity in life one day.

I Need To Find Myself
After so many years being with him, I finally realized many things last night:
1) I have lost my original self of carefreeness, emotionally strong, fun-loving, risk taking and someone who can take stress easily.
2) I have been dependent on him for my daily dose of emotional support, love and companionship.
3) I have been living this love life a lie.
4) He is still stuck in the era of how I had almost chosen him over another guy years ago when before I had ROM-ed with him.
5) He can't get over the fact as stated above until he is handicapped sexually.
6) He doesn't love me as much as I thought he do as he had verbalized that he only loves me 70% and not 100%.
7) My marriage with him may or may not last and it would be a gamble that I have to take if I want to carry on with this wedding.
8) He actually can't bear to call off the wedding due to the amount of money he had already pumped in and because he feels that he still kind of want this relationship as he finds it a 'pity' to let it go.
9) If choose to marry him on 10 May 2009, I would have a marriage without a sexual relationship.
10) I need to be stronger emotionally and psychologically with deal with the battle of my failed love life yet again.
PS: I almost called off the wedding but withdrawn from that decision as I found myself emotionally not ready to handle whatever consequences thereafter. I also can't bear to tell my parents that I am walking into a marriage that is already doomed from the start. My love life has failed terribly yet again... On the day of my wedding, remember to shed a tear of sympathy for me while I carry on living a lie due to my own weakness.
I found myself unable to sleep last night and even if I did for a short while, I had nightmares of stress and uneasiness...

No Progress
As my wedding date creeps nearer, nothing has been done... No progress. Wedding cards are not choosen, wedding favours, wedding dinner details not discussed and honeymoon destination or even of there is going to be a honeymoon are not planned. Asked him about these details and I am brushed off with a 'why so gan chong? still early?', 'got enough money for honeymoon meh?'. When the banquet representative from the country club calls to ask him when we would able to do down to choose the wedding cards and favours, his reply was 'next week lah. I am very tired.' Haiz... Why do I sense no form of enthusiasm from him? Isn't he as anxious and worried as me about the wedding? Is he really interested and willing to marry me as much as I am willing to marry him and looking forward to life with him?
Last evening, I was thinking about my worth to him? Am I just a secondary substitude to his work, PS games and arcade games? It seems to me, the only time that I do come to his mind is when he is done with his own things and is bored then that is the time when he comes looking for me.
At times, as I am reading self-improvement books or books regarding strengthening one's marriage or marital relationship, I get this feeling that I am the only one who is putting in effort in trying to maintain a strong marital relationshop. I don't know if he is even putting in any effort, 'cause I see or feel none.
Yes, he was there when I was sick and needed dinner. Yes, he was there when my PCOS pain came back and I was at A&E seeing the doctor. Yes, he is still with me at my house during the weekdays. Yes, we still do share the same bed. Yes, we still kiss, hold hands and hug at least once every two days. But, we are like a couple without a good, healthy sexual relationship, without much bonding, without romance like other couples.
That leads me to my next question... Does sex = true love? If no, when what is sex? If yes, does it mean he doesn't love me as much as I thought he does?
At times, I ask myself if I made a wrong move by signing on the marriage cert. at ROM. However, whenever I think of how much he has done for me so far, my heart waivers and I am touched by his small gestures. Then, I start thinking of how much of sexual aspect of the relationship that is lost along the way and I get into a dilemma yet again. I long for his 'touch' and the way he 'satisfies my sexual needs'... I am not desperate for any guys' touch, I only want his... That sometimes, just brings me close to tear that my simple yearnings are not met...
Why can't enjoy a healthy and good marriage like any other women? How different am I from other women that I do not deserve such simple pleasues of being married?
Hopefully, as I walk down the aisle on 10 May 2009, the tears that roll down my cheeks would be tears of joy, not tears of misery and sadness or pity for myself...
PS: After all the rantings, I still love him... Just only him...

When You Tell Me That You Love Me
I wanna call the stars
Down from the sky
I wanna live a day
That never dies
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do
I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know whats beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
Ill make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
Im shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
I wanna make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everythings easy now
I have you here
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
Ill make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
Im shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
Ill make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
Im shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
You love me
When you tell me that you love me

'Romantic' Valentine's Day
The flu bug loves and missed me so much that it has to pay me a visit on Valentine's Day, spoiling my mood. My 'big aunt' also visited me... So nice... Thus, I had to stay at home today, sneezing, clearing my throat, sleeping, taking meds and changing pads.
Hubby came with flowers and take-away food for dinner in the evening... Kind of feel sorry that we had to spend Valentine's day like that. So pathetic with packets of wanton noodles, almond jelly, liang teh and dessert was 'red ruby'.
Going to take my medicine and once the drowsy effect take place. Hopefully, we will have our proper Valentine Dinner soon... Haiz...

鸭子
看着你搭taxi孤单地离去
全世界只剩我在淋雨
想着你可能去谁或谁怀里
胡乱猜搞得我无法呼吸
明明是好天气却感觉下雨的情绪
我和你为何都我对不起你
转个弯到街上一个人溜冰
要自己像只骄傲的鸭子
不要爱的鸭子
aah 去吧
没什么了不起
什么都依你
却看轻我自己
虽然我爱你
不许你再孩子气
寂寞的鸭子
也可以不要你
有时爱会让人变得笨笨地
习惯性只去你的心里
没有你我的心就像遥控器
在每个频道里
疯狂找你
疯狂想你
疯狂看你
Was on the taxi this morning and heard this familiar song which woke me up from my dazed mood. When the song was being played, I was smiling to myself as memories of 2 crazy 15year old girls were screaming rather than singing this song daily during their recess time, before and after school.
Such fond and fun memories... :)

Doesn't Pay Being Nice
Haiz, perhaps I learn to be more heartless and considerate to those who doesn't appreciate my efforts as well as my kindness to get them out of trouble...
For the past few months, since I have been transferred to a new department and 'separated' from GCC, GCC staff has been making lots of blunders and errors to hinder the smooth process of chemotherapy. Instead of making a big fuss, Mari (my ex-partner) and I would take the effort to go down personally down to GCC to resolve the issue as well as talk to the respective mistake-maker to rectify things. Sometimes, we would even speak to their deputised 'manager' to work things out. The reason we do that is so they, we could save the staff who makes the mistake from being scolded or de-moralized by the GCC manager who can be quite nasty when annoyed. Mari and I knows the negative traits of this manager and don't wish any of our ex-colleague to be chided or given long lectures during daily roll-calls.
Mari and I also didn't even voice any displeasure to our new manager and superior to minimise any 'communication' within the management level. We just trouble-shoot the errors, amend any issues and keep it within ourselves and the staff who made the errors.
Instead, recently, the feedback we heard is that 'Mari and Amelia is too free and trying to find fault with GCC staff...' and 'Ask Mari and Amelia to remember where they came from and that they were once GCC staff also...' The worst part is we were once told to flag out any errors to their manager directly but we haven't done that, as we were kind enough to spare anyone from poor appraisals or long scoldings from their manager. Now this the sort of remarks we are facing...
Now Mari has left and resigned. It is about time, I do something to save my own troubles of being misunderstood when I am trying to be nice to people who don't appreciate it. It is sad to be misunderstood constantly in life. It is disappointing to know that your own efforts to save others from trouble has all gone down the drain.
It ain't easy clearing someone's mess or shit and to keep mum about it to any higher authorities, however, I am still being accused of being difficult and picky. Since, GCC staff don't appreciate the efforts being made to prevent them from being scolded or marked down for their appraisals, then, I will be truly nasty and difficult.
Today, I made a list of troubles that GCC has been creating, reported it to my manager and Assistant Director of Nursing. The manager has since typed an email to the GCC manager, 'reminding' her to take note of the hiccups that her staff has created. Looks like roll-call on Monday would be at least 1.5hrs long and God bless those staff involved...
Don't blame me... It is time people at GCC know what a BITCH this Amelia can be when provoked...
Think I shall also apply theory to those who fails to appreciate me or my kind efforts...
