About Me

My photo
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.

Resolutions for 2015

As 2014 comes to a close soon, it is time to clear the cobwebs and move on to 2015 with some resolutions...
1) to build a loving and blissful home with my fiancé, turning husband in April
2) to have a happy and fulfilling marriage with my fiancé,  turning husband in April
3) parents to finally see that I have not made any rash decision and will be comfortable with my decision to marry my fiance as well as to start my life with him despite all the odds.
4 ) to have a successful wedding in April
5 ) to either change job with better prospects or to maintain in my current job with a pay raise

I have learnt to stop expecting too much as the disappointment may be greater. Hence, I have made simple resolutions and wishes for 2015.

May everything go smoothly for me in 2015. I have not have much peace since my divorce. The greatest blessing is my fiancé who understands and supports me through it all. Of course, there is also my God, who gave me the strength to survive all these nonsense and obstacles.

2 Days More To Christmas

There isn't any Christmas mood this year as my life is in a mess now. Messy in a good and bad way.

Good way:
I am busy preparing for my wedding photoshoot on Christmas day itself and hence, the start of Manicure, Pedicure, Facial Masking, Sea Salt Exfoliation and Shaving of unwanted hair would be left on 24th.
I am also packing up my room, preparing for the upcoming move to my new love-nest coming end Jan or early Feb 2015. Imagine the amount of stuff I have to pack and donate out to the Salvation Army.

Bad:
My parents are starting to find fault with me for not informing my fiance's parents on my status of being a divorcee and for intending to hide this from them. It got so bad that I had a major argument with my dad, who in turn is giving me the cold war and probably intending to not be one of the witnesses for the ROM. My mum is obviously on his side (as usual), afterall she is the one who wanted my dad to talk to me about this issue.
Another thing is financially I am nearly drained with all the payments for the wedding as well as house preparations.

Oh well, all the sacrifices I always make in name of love. Hopefully this time round, my love life and marriage would be a successful one. I am not looking for perfection but simple bliss and comfort with basic necessities met.

Literally 4 months before my ROM. Just hope no more hiccups or drastic changes again. Seriously don't understand why my life has to be full of downfalls and failures in the past 5-6 years? Never had the liberty to enjoy few months of peacefulness at one shot.

Big Commitment Financially Henceforth

Tomorrow, as I sign away my CPF for the next 25 years, I pray that all would be smooth and the process of signing would be a success. May God remove all my fears, insecurities and uncertainties. It is going to be huge commitment henceforth just to be an owner of a house.

After tomorrow, after the purchase of a house, it would up to fiance and me to build a home. We had promised to build a loving, serene, comfortable and stable home for each another. May God bless this home of ours.

Amen.

December Has Arrived...


The last month of the year has arrived again. 
30 more days to end of 2014 and to welcome 2015.
24 more days to Christmas, which is also my bridal photo-shoot day.

I didn't have much achievements this year except that I was promoted, then after 6-7 months of being in the new position, I switched to another clinic to help setup as well as stabilize the new clinic's running and operational matters,

My fiance got his dream job and although there were quite a number of hiccups throughout the year, he is still coping well and happy with his new occupation. Income has also stabilize for him too. That is a good thing.

Shall take the next few weeks left for 2014 to make new goals for 2015. Till then, will be busy with HDB appointment, bridal appointments and hunting for wedding & home decorations.

He Will Make Me Happy Now & Forever

He'll make me happy
Each time I see him
He'll be the reason
My heart can sing
He'll stand beside me
And I'll have everything

Now and forever
Until forever
Their love will grow

He'll make her happy
That's all she needs to know
They'll be so happy

I only know
He'll make me happy
That's all I need...to...know...

So it looks like I am more or less ready for the ROM wedding. Now time to relax and start planning for our new house furnishings and decoration for the wedding. Parents are informed and the meeting for the both sides would take place in March 2015. Both fathers would be the documented witnesses for the ROM certification.

Many of my close friends and relatives who know us well will be invited. 

From the feedback I get, I am confident that I had made a good choice this time round. A guy who loves me and cherishes me more than anything. A guy who can accept my flaws and my history of going through a failed marriage before. A guy who understands me, my temper and personality. A guy who can tame my ruffled feathers whenever I turn into some bitchy or princess fit tantrums. A guy who is willing to build a home with me and start his future with me. What more can I ask for? Life isn't perfect and never will be. It is up to make imperfections near to perfection.

I should be prepared for this next chapter in my life... 5 months countdown.

Self Designed Wedding Card

Spent half the day doing up our wedding card and designing it all by myself. It was a tedious process for me as I am not an artistic person by nature. I managed to design two separate cards, one for the his friends and relatives, and one for my friends and relatives.

Those close friends and relatives would be receiving my set of invitation cards by March 2015. Although it isn't going to be a grand event, I hope those invited will turn up to witness this event: my second hope of happiness and marital bliss.

PS to that 'ex-husband' of mine: just in case you are still reading my blog, I am glad to inform you that I have taken your challenge to find a guy nothing like you. In fact he is far better in character and of a higher maturity level than you. I am glad that after our journey ended, you and I have never crossed paths again. Don't get too pissed at me for managing to find someone else to live the rest of my life with. Don't you dare blame me for surviving the hell that you put me through. I definitely deserve a better than you...

Bride-zilla Again

Never ever imagined that I would allow this period to happen to me again. I swear. Not after all that has happened to me, the failed marriage that ended in divorce and obstacles that was laid in front of me. I never know that I had the guts to allow myself to commit into a pending marriage again and even bought a house to be built into a home with him.

Yes, although I agreed to the proposal last year, but I seriously, had no intention to marry so soon and even buy a house with him as a co-owner.

For the past few weeks, I (or should I say, we) been busy with finding our wedding bands, bridal studio package, ideal bridal gown, settling paper work for the pending house and sourcing for best deals for our furniture. For the next few weeks to months, we would be busy planning and preparing for both the new house and ROM wedding.

This time round, it is double the stress, double the joyous occasion, double the planning, double the fuss and double the need for perfection. 2nd time round I became a bride-zilla... Although, I am supposed to be slightly more 'experienced' in handling a wedding, I am still freaking out as if it is my first time.

I am glad that I have told my parents the news and as expected, my mum didn't take it too well but my dad is satisfied that I have found a ideal home and, the guy who would take responsibilities and build a home with his princess. From what I gather, my dad is convinced that my fiance (future husband) will be able to give me the basic happiness that I need in a marriage as well as hold the roles and responsibilities of being a husband. He knows that I have found a better man than my ex-husband.

May I be lucky this second time round in marriage. Amen.

A Step Closer 2 DesAme Future

A picture speaks a thousand words... Those privileged ones were already informed of the actual date and tentative arrangements.

2nd Step For DesAme Future

Spend the whole of last week in preparation for this huge and major commitment. Even as I type, my feet is aching from all the hectic running around yesterday, but I am glad the all tiring process is over and hopefully worth while. On Wednesday (29/10) then I know if all is worth the effort and once successful, more plannings would be needed and the start of the major responsibility would be in place.

However, soon would come the hard part of breaking the news to my parents, especially my mum, who is still pretty stubborn with her mindset that Desmond ain't her ideal SIL material and can't accept him into the family still.

Of course, Desmond's family is also reluctant to let him go as he is the eldest son and they have been sheltering him from the world as well as super protective of him. Now, I like the person helping him gain full independence from his parents. Actually, I could see why his parents are super worried about the decision that we are about to make to embark on this new journey of life-long commitment soon. In fact, I should be more worried based on my past haunting experience and history of experiencing the downfalls of having a ex-husband, who totally doesn't act like a mature adult and doesn't take responsibilities as a husband, financially, physically and emotionally.

Oh well, let's just see what Wednesday brings...

Letter To Granny

Ah Ma,
Since you been gone, lots of things has happened in the family and some changes in my life for the better has also occurred. I know whatever that has happened to me is probably part of your works and I thank you for it. I thank you for helping me break free from the silent misery that I was going through and also leading me to my brand new life as a much happier and stronger person.
I have attained my degree, just like you have always wanted me to achieve. I also have found someone new since then and is about to embark on a new journey with him soon. I have brought him to 'meet' you a few times and hope for your blessings up in heaven. May this be the man that you have chosen for me to walk with me down the path of my remaining life.
There won't be any big celebrations for our union as I know mummy doesn't agree on him due to his financial background, looks and education background.
Although, haven't been around physically to witness all the changes and trials that I have been put through, but I am pretty sure you were there with me, in spirit, cheering me on and accompanying me through my joys and pains. I hope you continue staying by my side until it is time for your reincarnation or until I see you again in Heaven.
I do miss your presence and that is also the partially why I have been skipping CNY  celebrations with the family. It is never gonna be the same without you. The feel isn't there for me. No more reunions with you over steamboat on CNY eve, no more visitations with vegetarian lunch on CNY day prepared by you, no more seeing you play with the other grandchildren and chatting with us.
I am sure Fiona and Cheryl also feels the same way as I do. The three of us were brought up by you, from young being at your place before or after school and during school holidays. Thus, we missed you presence the most.
I have not stepped back to Jurong since your demise as I know that I would feel empty and may start crying again due to all the memories of you.
I hope you are at a better place, free from all the pain and sufferings and leading a good afterlife.
Till we meet again... In the meantime, please continue to bless the family and all your grandchildren, including future great grandchildren with health and happiness.
Thank you.

Not Something Everyone Can Understand and Carry Out

Jason, may you go and get back the love of your life. She may be hard for you to comprehend and her intentions to call for a time-out isn't the end of the world. Make use of this period of vulnerability to your advantage and salvage your marriage. Women aren't that hard to understand, just hit all the right buttons and they will be won back.

Have a good trip out later today... May you return with your dearest wife!

Daunting Memories

Hearing this song 'Say Something', will always bring tears to my eyes. This is a song which will bring up my heart - breaking memories and my deepest pain. A pain which no one would fully comprehend and understand. A memory which would forever be etched in my mind and heart...

Letting go of what was once dear to me. Letting go of what I thought was mine forever to keep. Letting go of my dreams and admitting that it was doomed from the start. Confronting reality right in my face when I wasn't very much prepared for. Dealing with what I was in denial of due to my own pride and disbelief. Accepting the true fact and moving on with a damaged past.

Thankfully my fiancé could empathise with me and doesn't rush me into making any major decisions. Although I know he is eager to start a future with me, prepared to purchase a house with me and is ready to make me his wife, I am still contemplating and fearful. I am still holding back due to profound fears. I am apprehensive to gamble my future happiness again.

He is patiently waiting for me to be ready.  Waiting for me to step out from my fears... Only God knows when I would be ready...

09.09.2014: 2nd Year of DesAme

3 days, 2 nights at Siloso Beach Resort.  Checked into the Roof Garden Suite with outdoor Jacuzzi and outdoor shower on the loft.
That's a good life. If one day, I am rich, I would like live my life by a beach with such concept, including a well equipped kitchen, hire a chef like Gordon Ramsey to whip up my meals and lastly, a maid to do the rest of the household chores.
Back to work on 11th Sept.

12 Shrimps & 2 Snails

Added these two Horned Nerite Snails to my eco-system to make friends with my 12 WonderShrimps.
Their main duties in the eco-system is to consume all algae and fecal matter of the shrimps as well as to add some decoration with their black and yellow striped shells.

Should I Give It Another Go?

It has been nearly two and a half year since I started back on the singlehood journey and I am still kind of basking in the freedom of it despite being attached and engaged.

Just last Sunday, I attended the wedding of my fiancé's brother, who had been with his wife for nearly 10 years before they said 'I do'. While they recited their wedding vows during the solemnization ceremony, a part of me wanted to shout out to them to remember the vows forever and remind them of the sacred covenant of a marriage, another part of me wanted to walk away and cry, yet another part of me rejoiced for their matrimony. During their first march-in, I felt happy for them yet worried that they would end up like me, divorcing one another due to lack of 'freshness' in romance. I felt a part of me being wrenched out as memories of my past crept up in my mind. All too familiar: the recitations of wedding vows in front of the guests, the 'thank you' speech to her family and to her for marrying him, the bliss of walking down the aisle while guests clapped, the yum-sengs for best wishes and lastly, the wedding video of how each other met, fell in love and leading up to marriage.

My fiancé was also happily answering relatives that it would be his turn next year September to get married. Surprisingly, I didn't get that blissful feeling like a fiancée should be experiencing. Instead, I felt fear. Fear of getting married again. Fear of gambling my future happiness away. Fear of history repeating itself. Fear of uncertainty. I realised that although I love my fiancé, I am not prepared to walk down the aisle and entrust my future happiness in him. I am fearful of making a wrong move again. I am basically skeptical of getting married again.

However, somewhere deep down inside me I know that he won't let me down and that he won't betray my trust in him and lead me into his world of marital bliss. Somewhere at the back of my mind, I know that I could marry him and be happy. I have faith that he would take care me to the best of his knowledge, he would cherish me, love me dearly, build a stable home with me and would be a much better husband as compared to my ex-husband.

Yet, I am just scared.

09.09.2015 is the date to watch out for and if I managed to get rid of my fears, that date would be my ROM/Wedding day.

Unbreak my shattered heart first...

5 + 5 + 2 = 12

Added more WonderShrimps aka Halocaridina Rubra to my tank. So in total, I have 12 WonderShrimps. The WonderShrimps have been adapting well and feeding is now on althernate days. I will probably be adding a snail to help with algae cleaning from the tank walls soon.

These WonderShrimps have added much 'colours' to my mundane life at home besides surfing the net, watching YouTube and online movies.

HURRAY!

Perfect Imperfections

Love should be pure and simple. It should not be based on social status, richness, materialistic idealisation, external beauty or ability to show off to others.
Sadly, not everyone understands that... To some, love is just an emotion and marriage is based on a rash decision, hence, the increasing rate of divorce. In the eyes of some people, love is just a game or a bet they made with friends, peers or family members. That explains the norm of breaking-up over trivia issues.
Not many married couples would truly understand the meaning of love and marriage. They fail to remember their wedding vows to stay united as one in times of thick and thin, in sickness or in health, for better or worse, to cherish and to honour, to remain faithful and cherish the convenant of a marriage till death do them apart.
Some couples even forgot the reason of why they fell in love in the first place and what attracted them to their spouses initially. They then leave the marriage mundane or end up divorcing due to external temptations.
Such a pity...
I believe that is also probably why people force themselves to never fall in love ever again due to bad experiences in previous failed relationship/relationships. To make matters worse, they witness failed relationships and marriages, which further affirms their idealisation of true love being nonexistent.
I am a believer of true love but yet I don't trust it to happen to me. Only time will heal my old wounds to allow me to trust in true love happening to me again...
Tsk Tsk Tsk.

Will Happiness Last?

Currently at the peak of my life. Never had the though that my life was ever going to be this happy and blissful again, not after a divorce and definitely not after resigning from KKH. I am not saying that my life is perfect but at least, it was never expected that I would find love, passion, status and obtain my degree. Many people who doesn't know my history has been asking when I would marry my fiance. They even said that he is a rare find in this modern society, too loving and caring towards me.

The truth is that yes, I want to marry him. However, what is stopping me is my own fears. Fear of history repeating itself. Fear of making the wrong decision to step into married life again. Fear of misjudgment on my part that he may change after marriage, just like my ex-husband did. Fear that I would lose this happiness and blissfulness after marriage. Fear of what-ifs.

In my world, happiness is short-lived. I would never experience any true joy for long.

To be able to meet my fiance, is a blessing. Although he isn't rich, neither is he good looking, nor is he highly educated, but he is genuine, he is loving, his caring and his gestures are sincere. He may be blur at times and not good with words, but I could see that he would be a good husband through his actions and non-verbal protectiveness towards me. Yet, I fear that he may change his ways after marriage. I fear that it would be back to square one after marriage. I fear that I would be heading for another divorce if history repeats itself.

He knows my insecurities. He understands my fear. He says that he will wait for me to feel confident in marriage again. He says that he is willing to prove that he isn't like my ex-husband. But... I still fear...

We have talked about 09/09/2015 for ROM or maybe even  28/4/2015. We have also discussed about application/buying a BTO flat together. But will it come true? That will all depends on my ability to overcome the fear and his continuous action to convince me.

I may look strong on the outside but inside, I am an insecure woman... I am just a plain woman, who had failed enough in life.

WonderShrimps: New Pet

Was recommended by a doctor friend of mine to purchase this new pet after I was perpetually visiting his room to gaze at his aquarium containing these tiny and cute shrimps called, Wonder Shrimps.

The cost of my aquarium aka Open Eco-system is $98 and has 5 of these Wonder Shrimps. Bought them a shop at Tampines and had the male boss teaching as well as sharing his knowledge of these shrimps. Apparently,  these shrimps are quite hardy and can live up to 3-5 years. Thus, it is good for people like me who doesn't really know much about taking care of pets well. Their aquarium doesn't need much attention either, juz water top up every monthly and I would to feed them weekly with their 'vitamin pellet'.

The actual breed of these shrimps is called, Halocaridina Rubra, they grow to maximum 1.6cm in length and are found mostly in Hawaii and Maui island.

Let's just hope that they would breed and I will have more shrimps as pets to gaze at whenever I am stressed or bored at home.

Life Lessons... I'm Still Learning As Days Goes By

As my life continues, I am learning new lessons whenever an event happens to me or around me that impacts me directly...

1) Never make mistakes in life. This includes loop-holes for people to take advantage of you. 
2) Mistakes made may be paid/compensated for dearly.
3) It is good to remain humble when a mistake been made by you.
4) There is always something called Karma. 
5) What you are doing is watched by God above, who will likely to punish or reward you based on your actions.
6) You may not get to watch Karma being done or even witness the 'punishment', but it is always good also hear about it, even you don't know about Karma being served, it is comforting to know that God will take 'revenge' on your behalf.
7) Sometimes, it doesn't pay to be kind. People will also take advantage of your kindness and mistaken your civil mannerism as weakness.
8) People will only take you seriously if you prove to have the upper hand in life.

Being nice also get bullied. Being nasty also get called a bitch. Being neutral also people try to treat you like a push-over. So ultimately, be true to yourself and conscience is the best.

Being Called A Bitch Is A Compliment

A bitch is a female dog
A dog barks
Barks come from trees
Trees are part of nature
Nature is beautiful

Thus, being called a bitch means you are being complimented as beautiful. Hence, no need to take offense next time if someone calls you a bitch.

*like real* Try calling me a bitch and I will definitely bitch - slap the living hell out of you...

Au-Naturel

Came across this MTV and song by Colbie Caillat called 'Try'.
It is meant for all woman out there, telling them to be themselves and that it is not necessary for them to put make-up on or to try so hard to achieve a slim figure so that they would be labelled as pretty or socially acceptable.

The truth is that I believe that every woman would like to be accepted for their natural looks: without make-up, hairy legs and armpits, flat chest, fat hips, bulging tummy, unruly hair or even balding head, short statue and lastly, un-manicured or un-pedicured self. However, it is the society that does not accept woman in their natural self without any nasty comments or gossiping.

Think about it:
- if a woman comes in well-dressed for a job interview but without make-up versus a woman who comes in well-dressed and with light make-up on, who do you think will likely get the job (presuming both of them are equally qualified)?
- if a woman goes out in a sleeveless top and shorts unshaven, bearing her hairy armpits and legs, what would people do? 'Stomp' her or post it on social media with hurtful captions as well as comments.
- if a flat-chested woman with bikini and a woman with fake boobs on a beach, which one do you think would get more positive attention?
- a flabby woman wears bikini versus a slim woman wearing bikini on the beach, which one would be getting mocking looks from others?

Thus, it is sad but the truth is that our society has yet to come to 'maturity' to accept au-naturel woman. So until that happens, women would still seek plastic surgery to alter their bodies, diet themselves, spend time on putting make-up, wear heels to achieve the height they desire, spend loads of money on facial care products as well as cosmetics, spend their time working out to achieve that body of models, spend hours shaving and doing mani-pedicure. Sigh... And yes, I am one of those woman except that I have given up dieting and taking pills to slim down, plus I am too poor to afford plastic surgeries.

PS: Your man/husband/fiance/boyfriend will say it is fine with them when you reveal your au-naturel look or self but honestly, they will still mind somehow if you go out with them without 'beautifying' yourself. Trust me on this. Man likes taking beautified girlfriend/fiancee/wife/woman out and 'show off' to the rest of the world just to boost his manly ego that he is capable in finding a beautiful and perfect woman to be his possession.

I Can Be A Bitch If You Cross My Limits


You are 85% Bitchy, so you are a Mega-Bitch. You are one scary bitch! I sure as hell ain't gonna cross you!



I admit that I can be bitchy and nasty if you happen to irritate me or infuriate me, but that doesn't mean that I can't be nice. How I treat you depends on how you treat me. Isn't that alike for most? I have never seen anyone being nice to someone who is nasty, neither have I seen anyone being nasty to someone who is nice to them.
Being in the service line, I have met many kinds of customers, some who are humble despite being rich and enjoying a high social status, and there some who thinks that you are almighty just because they can afford to see a Private Specialist and pay for the services provided in a Private Hospital. I have also came across people who thinks that just because they are given authority, they can abuse it as when they pleased. I believe that world is made up of different characters and personalities. However, do not forget that there is also something called Karma and Retributions. What goes around, comes around. You can do evil or unpleasant things but guilt as well as fear of being ill-treated will always be at the back of your mind. 
I always believe that I have a Guardian Angel, who is all prepared to attack anyone who treats me unjustly and will always serve Karma on my behalf. So be nasty to me and good luck to you. It is either I will serve you with my bitchy-side or Karma will be served to you on my behalf...

6 Months Into 2014

What have I achieved for the past 6 months?
1) Promotion as clinical coordinator of G.S (equivalent to a Nurse Clinician / Nurse Manager)
2) Made another 2 enemies/backstabbers who decided to almost create hell for me upon their resignation. (Thankfully my superior is much wiser and didn't buy in their crap! )
3) A little more parental approval for my relationship with my fiancé.

Not much improvement and I am still taking life one step at the time. I guess that I am kinda not expecting anything much this year.
Just taking things as it comes...

So Do I Measure Up?

That was a question my fiancé asked me this evening while he was driving me for our dinner. This topic was brought about as my colleague had commented that us, as a nearly 2 years old couple is still considered new and have still a long way to go to understand each other better.

My fiancé wanted me to compare our relationship to the relationship had with my ex-husband (when we were still dating and he was my bf). My answer was of course my current relationship is way better as compared to my ex husband's. Why? 'Cause, I knew my ex-husband during polytechnic years, when we were still pretty much immatured and didn't know how to handle our relationship properly. Plus, at that time, we both were not working yet and haven't seen the real and practical world. Thus, even before the time relationship hit 2 years old, we were already fighting like kids with immature behaviour and arguments were over petty, trivia matters. We were also unable to solve these petty arguments maturely and ended just sweep all our differences under the carpet.

Now, I am in a relationship, which comprises of respect and compromises. A relationship where I am happy to hold the reins, while my fiancé takes the backseat and vice-versa whenever necessary. I admit that I have always wanted to be the dominant one in a relationship and yet be the pampered one whenever necessary, something that my fiancé has been doing pretty well. He is able to balance out on when to be in charge and when to let me to take charge. He also able to give me the space that I require to handle my strrss and emotions, yet control me in his own subtle manner whenever I get a bit overboard.

My fiancé drives me to work and back, takes the trouble to schedule his work to spend time with me and we take turns to pamper one another. There is mutual respect between us as well as we are both show that commitment to make this relationship work hand in hand.

Of course, our relationship is always smooth sailing and he ain't perfect. But, I believe that it is how we make imperfection to our perfect advantage...

Perfect? Hell no!

No one is perfect.
No situation is perfect.
Nothing in this world is perfect.
Not even God (He does make mistakes too).

What is perfect for me now?
Having a good job. Having my own house. Having a fulfilled family with 2 kids and a loving husband. Having sufficient money to do whatever I want, whenever I want. Having a husband who does averagely well in his career and works with me equally to support the family. Having parents and parents in law who fully accepts my husband and me. Having absolute time to balance all aspects of my life.
Sadly, like I said, nothing is perfect. I win some, I lose some... But I am sufficiently contented. Life could be better but perfection is a far reached goal. More than a decade ago, I walked the wrong path: chose the wrong person as my husband, made wrong decisions in life due to a moment of fun and pride, committed to a disastrous marriage and loved the wrong man. Now I see the repercussions of my wrong moves...

I just hope no more major wrong moves in future. Hope life would either remain status quo or get better... Amen.

Coffee Love

太浓了吧
否则怎会苦的说不出话
每次都一个人在自问自答
我们的爱到底还在吗
已经淡了吧
多放些糖也很难有变化
不如喝完这杯就各自回家
别坐在对面欣赏我的挣扎
一场失败的爱情像个笑话
热的时候心乱如麻
冷了以後看见自己够傻
人怎麽会如此容易无法自拔
一场无味的爱情像个谎话
甜的时後只相信它
苦了以後每一句都可怕
人怎麽会如此难以了无牵挂


A failed and dead love relationship is akin to drinking coffee when you are seriously sleep deprived: Useless. 


At times when I listen to sappy love song, I can't help to allow old memories to flood my mind and I began to ponder about how glad I am that I moved on and walked away from all the torturous, emotional roller coaster ride that I put myself through before.


It was painful to be the only one struggling to make my previous relationship/marriage work out the way I had always hoped for it to be, as a teen to young adult. It seems like I was the only one who is sacrificing my pride and humbling myself to a guy who didn't seem to appreciate my efforts to work out the sinking marriage. Instead, he tried to sink it further to the stage where I decided that it was not salvageable and decided to allow to end with a divorce.

My current life may not be perfect but I am happy. I am contented to my life now, mundane yet fulfilling. I am old enough to stop seeking the 轰轰烈烈 kind of life, I rather live my life in stability, peacefulness and serenity. I have a understanding fiance, who is mature enough to handle my emotions and temper. I have a career with a not-too-bad pay. I have a parents who has practically left me alone to fight for my own dreams, which is good as I hate people breathing down my neck and telling me how to lead my life. 

No one is perfect. Nothing is perfect. It is how you choose to view imperfections that makes perfection.

Happy Birthday To Me

 Birthday was spent with fiance and a couple, who are close to us...


Aged a year older
The pictures would have summarized my whole day of celebrations and fun... May the next one year of my life be filled with joy and blessing!

10th May before 12th May

What happens when a dreaded date occurs just two days before your birthday?
Do you celebrate your birthday with a foul mood?
Would you still want to celebrate your birthday with the bad memories of the past haunting you?
Would you allow the bad memories to dampen your birthday mood?
Would you pretend that 10th May doesn't come before 12th May?
Could you totally wipe out the sad memories of a supposed celebratory event, which now is replaced with a daunting or mocking event, two days before your birthday?
Could you pretend that the bad memories doesn't affect you in one way or another?
Could you pretend that the sad memories doesn't exist in your life?

Anyway, not many people will be celebrating my birthday, only my parents and my fiancé. I am also not surprised that people will forget my birthday, afterall, I am always a non-existing person until I am 'needed' by them for medical knowledge or nursing skills or free medications to avoid medical fees incurred when visiting doctors.

Turning 31 also something I am looking forward to as it just marks me being older and one step away from my life's dream milestone. It is also a mockery to me that life hasn't been too good for me since turning 29. Stepping into another year in my life just means I am growing older and nearer to being a failure in my own goals of life. Nothing to celebrate also.

Basically, life has pretty much sucked for me since I was turning 29. The only few good things that happened me since then was knowing my fiancé and being engaged to him, getting my degree, finding a better job prospect and being promoted soon after joining the company.

Until I blog again... Here's wishing my dearest pal, Happy Birthday one day after me! God bless.

Two Weeks To Turning 31...

Turning 31 in 2 weeks time... How time flies... It seems like yesterday that I was enjoying my 30th birthday in Bali at Hard Rock Hotel and now, I am nearly reaching 31 soon. I have transited into the 30-ish age and yet, I have yet to achieve my life milestones...

When I was much younger, I always wanted to be a mum of two kids by the age of 30, so that I could go for a hysterectomy (removal of womb) as I hated my menses. Of course, the father of my kids would be someone who loves me as much as I love him. I wanted a happy and complete family. However, such simple dreams were not met. Instead, I went through a hell of divorce at the age of 29 and survived to fall in love unknowingly again but was met with parental disapproval. At age of 30, I am engaged to this guy who loves me more than I love him, however, due to his financial status, we can't get married just yet. 

Although, I have met my career goals by age 30 and even exceeded my own expectations by getting a degree, but, I don't judge my own life based just career and some 'toilet paper' certification, which means absolutely nothing me than just slight monetary happiness. It is also not as if I am earning a $5K salary that I should be rejoicing. My pay is also average as compared to my peers, not that fantastic! 

What I crave in life is not met. What I wished for in my life, didn't come true. What I prayed for feverishly was not answered. 

Now as I am transiting into my 31st age, I shall wish that within the next year, my life goals of having a happy and blissful family would come true. *cross fingers*

Superwoman = Me

Sometimes I feel that people/colleagues/bosses view me as a superwoman:
- Nobody to work due to frequent staff taking urgent leave or sick leave, call me to cover.
- Give people vacation/leave despite knowing insufficient manpower, ask me to work alone.
- Met with irritating customer, call me to handle.
- Need reports urgently, tell me to do it ASAP. 
- No money, expect me to fork out money first but claiming it back takes at least 6 months.
- Accounts have problem, wants me to backtrack to 2012 or before Sept 2013 to see which patient haven't paid or not charged yet. (Hello, I wasn't in the organization in 2012 or before Sept 2013!)
- Got an appraisal of 90% but not entitled to salary increment.
- Give me high patient load and yet expect to me handle them alone without any hiccups/complains.

2 Years On

Was reminded of today's date ( 13 April ) only a while ago and realized it has been 2 years since that fateful night, in which I made up mind to allow a divorce to scar my life forever.

2 years since I took my first steps out of a failing marriage to stop all the torments of being stuck in a marriage that was actually doomed from the start. A marriage whereby the groom couldn't understand the covenant of a marriage and said the marriage vows because that was the 'routine' before a marriage certificate is issued. A marriage where the bride, thought it was the only way to escape from her parents' possessive grip to rule her life. Although, there was love between but it was only sufficient to last them 9 months post-marriage. The love was not strong enough to last them through major obstacles and changes in life.

Now, 2 years on, I have not, never did once regretted my decision to carry on with divorce without a fight. It was pointless fighting and living my life in denial, hoping that there would be improvement. It was like fighting a losing battle: futile.

Although frequently I am reminded of this failed marriage and my ex-husband, but as I reflect, I know deep down that I had led and is living a better life since I walked away. I feel a heavy burden has been lifted off me. I no longer need to live my life in fear of being unappreciated, probably unloved and leading a life of uncertainty.

My current life may not perfect, but it certainly is much better without him. My current life may not be as I had envisioned it to be, but it is surely much carefree and happier without the fear of unknown.

I am truly glad to have survived 2 years on without him and proving him wrong once again when he always though that I would be miserable without him as well as I would regret walking away from that pathetic marriage I had with him. ..

2yrs On... I Know That I Wasn't Not The Only One

You and me, we made a vow
For better or for worse
I can't believe you let me down
But the proof's in the way it hurts


You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I wasn't not the only one


I have loved you for many years
Maybe I am just not enough

What is Love...

LOVE is...
Complicated to comprehend.
Easier said than maintained.
Better shown in action than in words.
Risking your vulnerability in hope of happiness.
Acceptance of flaws and imperfections.
Sorting out disputes while still holding hands.
Communicating with one another despite life's busy-ness.
Holding all commitments to put one another as top priority.
Respect.
Care.
Concern.
Being genuine.
Faithfulness.
Honesty even in the temptation to lie.
Forgiving in times when forgiveness is hard.
Braving all obstacles together as one unit.

Love is hardly perfect...

像天堂的懸崖

你留的感動 你留的感傷
都一起打包 都寄給遺忘
整潔的房間 寬了一半的床
單身的牙刷 像低頭在想

多真心的給予 多貼心的迴響
是什麼腐蝕你給我的夢想
靠一點點美好 撐長長的迷惘
終究會走到 得分岔的地方

別給我像是天堂的懸崖
別逼我跳下無底的傷懷
不再幻想 你的花海
有一支薔薇能夠享受唯一寵愛

別給我像是天堂的懸崖
別推我到會後悔的未來
最怕夜裡 浪漫燈海
你不斷點煙我看窗外沒有對白

時間在趕路 回憶在擺盪
音樂在流淚 歌詞在療傷
腦袋夠懂事 但內心不長大
復原才很難 情緒才複雜

多醉心的擁吻 多開心的凝望
是什麼搶奪 你給我的太陽
用淡淡的祈禱 撐濃濃的絕望
憑什麼逃離 像影子的悲傷

別給我像是天堂的懸崖
別逼我跳下無底的傷懷
不再幻想 你的花海
有一支薔薇能夠享受唯一寵愛

別給我像是天堂的懸崖
別推我到會後悔的未來
最怕夜裡 浪漫燈海
你不斷點煙我看窗外沒有對白

最難耐 的傷害 是不放 又不愛


Can April whisk by so that I skip the memories of your birthday and the 'anniversary' that marked the end of our marriage? Actually, frankly, until today, I still haunted by your hurt and ultimate words that crushed my world. You brought me the highest heaven and deepest depth of hell throughout my 12 years with you...

Many people has told me to move on into my new world and leave my old memories behind. However, until they went through what I had went through and can carry out whatever crap they preach, then will I follow their advice. All I can say is time is the answer to everything in life, including lessening the pain of wounds. Wounds may heal but scars will always remain and I will forever carry the scars with me for the rest of my life. 

I believe that you perhaps have also started living your life well without me. So have I. I have a brand new world, in a brand new relationship, experiencing life in a new aspect as well as different viewpoint on certain principles. Carry on your life without me (I am sure you would anyway) and I will carry on mine. 

Have a Happy 35th Birthday, you are now qualified to buy your own flat and start earning 'rental' like how you always had planned. God bless your road in life.

End of The Road

I hope I will never have to cross paths with you in future.
I hope I will never have to ever see you again.
I hope I will never have to shed another tear over you.
I hope my life will be better off without you.

Attack of Old Memories

I walked away not because I want to break my promises to you,
I walked away because I guess I had enough.
I walked away not because I don't love you anymore,
I walked away because you will never love me as much as you used to.
I walked away not because I wanted to break free,
I walked away because you will never be mine again.
I walked away for me, myself and I.
I walked away in seek for a better future.
I walked away to have a happier life without you.

If I Died Tomorrow...

In the recent light of MH 370, I have been hearing on how the plane mysteriously disappeared and much speculation was given that the plane was hijacked, crashed or perhaps being parked somewhere remote due to terrorist demands. However, after nearly 2 weeks, it is declared that the plane had crashed into the Southern Indian Ocean. Relatives, friends and family members on that doomed flight reacted to the final news in rage and were left in anguish with despair. That I led me to think, what if I had been on that flight? How would people and family members react?

I, for one, doesn't have any insurance plans to 'give' any payout to any beneficiaries, neither, do I much assets to my name. So that is good in certain ways that nobody will fight for my monetary assets or wonder how to settle my bank accounts. (Rather, they would be left to think how to settle my credit card bills...)

Secondly, to certain people that have misunderstood me to be a bitch or a nasty person would celebrate my death with a bottle of vintage wine or champagne. I admit that I am not exactly an angel to certain people who crossed my life and happen to have 'stepped onto my toes', in fact, I have been pretty much hard on such people.

Thirdly, my parents would probably grieve the worst (duh), but finally, my mum would start wondering who is going to pay for the Condominium's maintenance fees, air-con maintenance fees and who will be giving her the monthly household expenses to cushion household bills. My dad would probably get over the grief by karaoke-ing, drinking and avoid going home before 11pm, so as to avoid clashing with my mother over financial issues.

Fourthly, my close relatives would remember me as the defiant daughter of my parents, who actually dotes on them in my own ways. They would also remember me as the stubborn niece that would pursue my own life journey at my own pace: career, studies, love-life and stand firm on my own beliefs. My close aunts would remember me by my caring personality to help those in need, at the expense of my own benefits.

Fifthly, my fiance will apply my 'After Death Wishlist' on my behalf. I am not sure how he would cope although he did say that he wouldn't find anyone after me... (Of course, he would say that he won't find anyone else after me, but God knows, how true it would be...) Maybe if he met another female who treats him well and as good as I treat him, he may change his mind of remaining single for life.

Lastly, for my close friends, I am not sure how they would cope as only one person under that category replied that she will remember me as a Fish & Chips lover. The rest of those friends in that category did not comment...

Either way, if I died, I wouldn't also be able to react to any emotions or any form of reactions from other people and seriously, by then, I would be much bothered how they cope with the news of my death. All I hope for is that my religion would not be wrong and I would be able to go Heaven to reunite with my late grandmother and enjoy the peace, serenity as promised by my God.

If that eventful day of my death comes, I hope it would be swift and painless...

Differences...

1) When I am hungry and whining about it...
J: You are old enough to find food. Or... You have hands and legs to get your own food!
D: Ok, what you want to eat? Wait for me, I drive over to bring you out.

2) When I vocalize that there is an issue between us that would potentially harm the relationship. ...
J: So? It is your fault for _______ and for _______. If you really unhappy, you go your own way and I go mine.
D: Let's talk about it. See how to solve it.

3) When I am frustrated or irritated for something not done properly by him...
J: You think that you are a princess eh? Everything must be done your way eh? Go fly kite lah!
D: I am sorry. But I did it because ____________ (rationale explained).

4) When the argument gets too serious and unresolved despite thrashing it out...
J: If you want to still meet, you better don't give me a black face, otherwise you will get it from me! Or.. If you want, don't bother coming back home,  I don't want to see your black face! I don't owe you a living!
D: You cool down first. Don't angry, I will see you later then we talk again.

5) When I see someone who needs help or is in distress...
J: Don't be such a busy-body! Let's go! (Drags me away or walk away...)
D: Yeah, does he/she need help? See if you or I can help. Let's go! ( Goes over to volunteer help...)

6) When I ask if he could join my friends or family for some gathering...
J: What for? You want to go,  then go alone, why ask me for what? I am not so free.
D: Ok. You remind me again when the date is nearer,  I scared that I will forget... *sheepish grin*

7) When I ask for 'me-time' or time with my friends alone...
J: Do whatever you want. I am not restricting you. (Stomps off...)
D: Ok. Enjoy yourself and let me know if you need my transport anywhere.

8) When I get fed up at work or complain about my day...
J: *Nonchalantly* work is like that, do you not think that I suffer at work too? Stop complaining.
D: *listens in silence* Ok lah, dont angry, bring you to de-stress, where you want to go?

9) When I complain that he is unromantic and less attentive to me...
J: Want to be so romantic for what? 无聊!
D: *offers kisses and hugs*

10) When I talk about going on holidays or stay-cations as a couple...
J: What for? Waste money!  Waste time!
D: Ok! Where you want to go, I go with you. *broad smile*

Disclaimer: No one is perfect... Just a comparison on who is a better guy suited for me. And, I am not a spoiled girlfriend or fiancee, just a woman who wants to be valued and treasured by my better half.

Grown Apart

Came across this quote and picture while browsing Facebook. Reminded me of Mr J...

Yes, I agree that what we had between us in the beginning was real, but as time passed, we grew apart and what we had between us faded with the time. I guessed no one is truly to be blamed for the ending of us. Perhaps you or I didn't love enough. Perhaps you or I didn't know to accept the changes mutually as we matured into adults. Perhaps you or I didn't know to treasure each other and forgive one another for the flaws we had developed over the years. Indeed, I did resent you for some issues that I encountered as your girlfriend and wife, while you hated my way of handling things and detest my attitude in life.

But now all is gone. We have gone our separate ways and pursued our life in two directions. Hopefully we won't have to ever cross paths in future 'cause I won't know what sarcasm I would have for you, neither would I bother to even interact you diplomatically. You will always be a thorn in my memory as the guy whom I loved and sacrificed so much only to be spitted out by you like a poison in your mouth. No matter what happens in your life or how successful you have become in the future, you will always be known as a jerk and unappreciative bastard in my eyes.

Everyone Has Dark Side & Deep Secrets

There's a place that I know, it's not pretty there and few have ever gone. If I show it to you now,
will it make you run away or will you stay? Even if it hurts, even if I try to push you out, will you return  and remind me who I really am? Please remind me who I really am.

Everybody's got a dark side. Do you love me? Can you love mine? Nobody's a picture perfect but we're worth it, you know that we're worth it. Will you love me? Even with my dark side?

Like a diamond, from black dust, it's hard to know what can become. If you give up, so don't give up on me, please remind me who I really am...

People end up changing their natural self due to previous experience with pain or set-backs, There are some who even end up changing into someone totally different from their original values and principles just to fit into the society. That is so sad...


I hope that I wouldn't be one of those who change myself so much that I would lose my original self. I firmly believe those who truly love and treasure me would accept my dark side, as well as understand my reasons for being who and what I am today due to my own experiences with sadness, anger, politics and betrayals.

HOW LONG DO I LOVE SOMEONE?

Recently heard this songs by Ellie Goulding, called How Long Would I Love you, and it brought about a thought how much I could love someone or how long would I love someone...

Below are her 'Q&A'
How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I can
How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan

How long will I be with you?
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash up on the sand

How long will I want you?
As long as you want me to
And longer by far
How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you
As long as you can

How long will I give to you?
As long as I live through you
However long you say

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

This is my Q&A after all the crappy love story and life I have been through since I was 14 years old...


How long will I love you?
As long as I feel you are worth my love.
And longer if time permits.

How long will I need you?
As long as I feel you are dependable.
And longer if I permit myself to depend on you.

How will I be with you?
As long as I feel that you love me .
And longer if I feel that I am your top priority in life.

How long will I want you?
As long as you would want me in your life.
And longer if I can trust you with my future.

How long will I hold you?
As long as you can provide me with basic happiness and security.
And longer if you want to hold me (before your arms are amputated due to certain accidents or diseases).

How long will I give to you?
As long as I am to purse my own interest and own needs first.
And longer if I am able to spare my own heart to give to you.

忘情水

Sometimes I wished such portion would exist, so I could fully forget all those painful memories. I would be the first few to queue for this portion that would wipe out my memories and allow me to restart life brand new.

Many people believed that if I were still feel the pain and aches of what had happened to me, it means that I have not forgetten and move on from my past. All I can say to these people who feels that way is, BULLSHIT! How can one forget something so painful? How can one totally forget whatever shit that he/she has gone through? How do one forget memories when almost everywhere reminds him/her of someone who broke his/her heart?

Can someone please invent this portion? I bet it would be very much sellable.

God is Good

Thank God for protecting me...
Thank God for protecting my family...
Thank God for protecting those close friends to me...
Thank God for protecting my dearest fiance...

May He continue his everlasting protection even though I often fail to see through his grace, blessings and love for me and those who are dear to me. Amen.
