Last minute today, bf's mum, bf and me decided to go into J.B for some shopping. Thankfully bf and I had brought along our passport with us as we intended to book tour for May holiday,
Shopped at Tesco, which was a mega big mall to shop! We had a great time shpopping around and bought lots of stuff, including a pair of couple t-shirt-shirts that we chanced upon. Spent about 200 RM for the afternoon.
As we were on our way back to Singapore, we got stuck in a massive jam. It got me thinking about Jeff: how I used to dislike him travelling to JB or overseas with his friends and how I used to give him thousand and one reasons not to go. Now I am enjoying myself travelling out of Singapore nearly every 2-3 months.
This thought has made me realized that I had never hated going overseas but it is the thought of Jeff choosing to go overseas with his guy friends instead of me that made me unhappy or should I say enviously jealous. I also realized the reason for my unhappiness stemmed from my lack of trust in him, afteral, our relationship deteriorated quite badly over the last few years, especially after our marriage. He did nothing significant to regain or rebuild that trust.
Anyway, it is all over and I have found a travelling buddy, who doesnt mind going overseas with me every few months once. What matters most is that we are enjoying each others' company even in Singapore. Travelling together just strengthens our bond.
Tomorrow evening, we will be booking our holiday to Bail in May for my birthday. So in another two months, I would be travelling yet again.
Life is definitely good without Jeff or should I say, life is definitely great with a man that tries to build and maintain a stable relatioship. :)
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.

Into JB Again

No Longer An iTunes Store Person
Wef 24/02/2013, I am no longer under the mercy of iTunes, paying my ass off for apps and music. I am now officially an Android store 'fan'.
Traded in my iPhone and bought a new phone after being persuaded by my dad to get a new phone similar to his and my mum's new phone also. Thus, I paid for my mum's new phone (her promised birthday present from me) and of course, for my own phone. I am nearly $500 bucks poorer and I have to eat 'grass' this month. Hence, all 3 of us: Dad, Mum and Me now have similar phone model, but of different colours.
Would be sourcing for my holiday destination in May and booking my tour package/F&E package tomorrow...
I am so gonna need to scrimp in March to survive until next pay day, which falls on the last week of March... God bless me. No cabs. No dining-in restaurants. No extravagrant spending.

Shopping @ Ikea
Was doing my bi-monthly shopping at Ikea and found this while shopping.
Didn't know if I should be laughing when I see a chair named after him or if I should be 'affected' in a negative way seeing his name pop out randomly. (After the divorce, seeing this name just disgusts me to the max...)
However, I came out this analogy and told my boyfriend, who was also shopping with me: if I bought the chair and sat on it, it would be akin to sitting on my ex-husband and I won't mind peeing, farting or shitting on it. I could also imagine that I am sitting on him and he is smelling my butt or even kissing my a$$.
End the shopping trip without buying the chair though. The thought of sitting on this chair would just 'dirty' my buttocks further. I rather be infested with e.coli than to be sitting on a chair named after him.

Valentine's Day
Flowers from someone, not my boyfriend though.
Well, on a brighter side, at least I did get flowers right? But from someone who isn't my boyfriend, someone who is attached, someone whom I have no mutual feelings for...

Valentines Day 2013
Can't remember when I last valentine's day without flowers being presented to me, but this year, I am flower-less as expected and I am not ranting about it.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO THOSE OUT THERE, SINGLE OR MARRIED, IN LOVE OR OUT OF LOVE, CELEBRATING OR NOT CELEBRATING!

Back 2 Reality
Returning back to reality tomorrow, in time for Valentine's Day celebration. However, I wouldn't be celebrating it on the 14th 'cause my bf has to work his afternoon duty on that day. I also doubt he would know how to celebrate it. Anyway, if he is sincere and sweet towards me EVERYDAY, what difference does it make if I do celebrate V.day or not, it is V.day for me everyday! Heehee...
I guess I have learnt to look beyond those flowers or sweet gifts and judge a man by his practical actions.
I rather have a man who shows me that I am in his heart at all times, rather than a man showers me with gifts and flowers frequently but his heart doesn't priortise me as first priority in his life.
I rather have a man who uses his sincere action to shows me that he truly love me for who I am, accepts me for my past, present and future, rather than a man who expects me to be his subordinate and serve him endlessly due to his unforgiveness and petty mindset for my past.
I rather have a man proves to me that he appreciates me for all that I am and have done for him, rather than a man who thinks my sacrifices are mandatory, out of my free-will and 'nothing to claim credit' for.
I want a simple love life. I don't need one whereby I have to live in fear of saying the wrong thing or doing playful actions that is misinterpreted into violent behaviour.
I want a peaceful love life. I don't need one whereby I can communicate with my bf/fiance/husband without any raising of voice and still be able to problem-solve or come to a common agreement maturely.
I want a committed love life. I don't need one whereby there is lack of trust and no efforts made to affirm our commitment to each another. I don't need one whereby I am not sure what he is up to and how he is getting along with his daily life.
I just pray for peace, simplicity and a love life based on trust, mutual respect and ample communication...

Traits of A Taurean Woman
Taurus is the Venus-ruled Earth sign, known for its artistic attitude and carefree yet conservative outlook. Taurean women are graceful, independent, and the makers of their own destiny, which makes them intimidating as well as desirable.
Taurus is the second sign among the zodiacs and is ruled by Venus, the goddess of beauty. Its basic element is the Earth, which also makes this sign very grounded. This zodiac sign is symbolized by 'The Bull' and the people belonging to this sign are born between April 21st - May 21st. Emerald is the ideal birthstone for individuals born under this sign. Taureans can be described as dependable, compassionate, reliable, loyal, and physically and emotionally strong. Let's understand in detail about the personality traits of Taurus women and what sets them apart from the rest.
Characteristics of Taurus Women:
Her Traits:
A typical Taurean woman can be described as loving, reliable, artistic, attentive, gentle, calm, and patient. She is introvert and deeply sensual, with considerable moral and emotional courage. She has a practical approach, is a loyal friend, and stands by them in any given situation.
Physical Attributes:
Being ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, a Taurean woman is blessed with a charming personality. A Taurus woman typically has a broad body with a thick neck and broad forehead. She has a beautiful complexion, big and bright eyes, thick lustrous hair, broad shoulders, and a muscular frame. She has a nice, friendly way of communicating her feelings and can be spotted from afar, all thanks to her clear and loud voice. Taurean women are very careful about their appearance and need to have a strict diet to attain slimness. They are also very careful about their appearance, be it hairstyle, personal grooming, or fashion sense.
Her Nature:
The Taurean woman is generally very calm by nature but if angered, she can and will reveal her volcanic rage! Although patient, she will lose her composure if she has to repeat herself time and again. However, she is able to put up with lot of stress, has immense willpower, along with a rigid sense of morality and emotional courage. She is capable of handling serious problems alone, as long as she has a reliable friend to seek advice from. Being an earth sign, she is relatively humble and can be really dependable and faithful, if she chooses to be. She is able to withstand great hardship, because she has faith in herself and her abilities.
Friendship:
Count yourself lucky, if you have a Taurean as a close friend. Taurus women although social beings, can also be slightly aloof with the people who do not interest them. However, if you succeed in gaining her trust, she will prove to be a worthy friend. She will protect you from uncomfortable situations and people, either by giving sound advice or by defending your honor. Even though she is protective, she appreciates individuals who have a strong heart and mind. Thus, she will make friends with only those who are capable of standing their ground in difficult circumstances. She prides at having honest and hardworking people as her friends, who are unpretentious and undeterred by the world at large. It is this trait, that causes many Taureans to have an extremely unconventional set of friends and companions.
Health:
Taurean women generally enjoy good health. However, when ill, they try their best to avoid medications until their condition demands treatment. They usually suffer from diseases that affect the throat such as diphtheria, tonsils, and common cold. They also have to be careful about health conditions that affect the lower abdomen. Being bullheaded, they can also be very lazy, which can make them overweight and melancholic.
Career:
A career that requires social interaction is suitable for Taurean women. They are known to be bullheaded simply because they like to get the job done. It is this unrelenting quality, which has been misjudged as stubbornness by many. They are born leaders and will not follow anyone, unless they willingly deem someone as their superior. Due to their brilliant organization skills, Taurean women can work effectively in the world of politics, human resource management, and finance. They can be excellent artists, photographers, writers, and gardeners as well, since their zodiac favors creativity and appreciates art.
Romance and Relationship:
Taurean women are very romantic when in love and demand their relationship to have a strong emotional bond. She is a loving, caring, and romantic partner, who will ensure that her lover is happy. She will go out of her way to provide her partner with a warm heart, hearth, and home. Righteously, she is also an extremely jealous and territorial personality. She will not allow another woman to pry her lover from her, and will prove to be a formidable force to reckon with. Taurean women are compatible with the people who belong to the signs Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn, and Pisces. That being said, a Taurean woman is also extremely unforgiving and will not reconcile with an ex-lover if he has dared to disrespect her in any way. He shall be shown the door or more likely, ignored like he never existed to begin with. Albeit painful and heartbreaking, she will force herself to stay away from him for the rest of her life. After all, she knows what's best for her and would prefer her own company, rather than invest her emotions on someone who doesn't deserve her affection.
Fashion Preference:
These women prefer delicate jewelry, and soft fabric. They are unlikely to follow the trends of the season, and instead opt for designs that are evergreen and graceful. They are adept at making themselves look sleek, by choosing clothes that complement their figure. Being a feminine sign, they are careful about the way they carry themselves, and are never dressed haphazardly. They will always give preference to comfort and will spend their penny only on clothes and accessories that allow them fluidity of movement.
Marriage:
The term picky was coined in honor of the true Taurean woman. These women take a long time to select a suitable life partner. She will want her man to act like the man of the house and take responsibility, without being promoted. Simultaneously, she will never allow herself to be dominated by her lover. Once married, she will prove to be a devoted wife and an extremely fun mother, who will let her children gambol and grow. She will also teach her children to be independent and freethinkers, so that they can make the right choices for themselves in the future.
Negative Traits:
Taurean women are possessive about their belongings and rarely share, unless it's with someone really dear to them. They can be tad lazy and have a tendency to live life the easy way, until they find their true calling. They are egoistic and lose out on good opportunities due to this nature. In rare cases, this sign can sway from its stable nature and take on a more volatile predisposition, which can also make them materialistic, money-minded, arrogant, and flamboyant. Being fond of food, they have a tendency to gain weight and become sluggish.
In a nutshell, beautiful, loyal, and intelligent Taurean women make ideal friends, considerate lovers, and caring mothers. Their dynamic and pleasant existence can brighten your life and strengthen your spirit, thereby guiding you to the right path.

避年 2013
Off to a secret location during CNY. Excited but yet moody. This is the second time in my life to '避年', the first time was last year due to the bereavement of my granny in 2011. This year is due to the lack of interest to meeting and explaining myself to nosy relatives on my divorce issues and how my life has been post divorce.
I would be accompanied by my boyfriend during this period of being away during CNY. He has volunteered to be with me so that I wouldn't feel so lonely and alienated during this festive season... (How sweet of him!)
I really hope that this would be the last time I would need to '避年' as I wish to resume to normal CNY celebrations in 2014. Hopefully my 2014 CNY would be spent having him beside me during visitations and enjoying family gathering with him. It has been a long long long while since I truly enjoyed CNY visitations without having a partner who would restrict my time spent with relatives and instead enjoy family interaction time along side with me....
Really miss those days of CNY being enjoyed with my granny. Reunions at her place and eating lunch with her on the first day of CNY.
Wonder what 2013 will bring me. According to predictions, I '犯太岁' and thus, this year wouldn't be smooth sailing or a good one for me. Let's just see what will happen next for me. (Like as if 2012 wasn't a bad enough year for me. Haiz...)
