Date

It’s been a while since I’ve been on a date with the boyfriend. Recently been hanging out with his friends and not that I don’t enjoy it. I enjoyed their company too, funny and nice people, but it’s also nice to spend some 2 people time together.

Zixuan picked me from Vivo where we then head to Robertson Quay for dessert. I finally tasted soufflé. It always looks so delicious in TV but in reality, it’s just taste eggy. After dessert, we went to Liang Court, Tampopo Restaurant for dinner.  He had the shabu shabu black pig ramen while I had the beef curry rice. The food tasted quite unhealthy, but nice.  The ramen soup based tasted quite MSG infused, just like maggi mee. But according to the zixuan, most probably there’s no MSG. Food there are not bad, prefer it over Murutama.

It was then to the Pump room for some live music. However as it was a Saturday, it was packed. There were lots of eye candy in clarke quay and the boyfriend head was spinning like 360̊̊ the whole night. The live band was not bad, almost everyone in the group sings. I love soft rock.

 “Isn’t it strange that the first thing you noticed was something that was absent?… If you were in love, and were waiting for your loved one to call you, you might ‘hear’ him not calling you all evening. You arrange to meet him at the train; crowds of people are milling around about on the platform and you can’t see him anywhere. They are all in the way, they are unimportant to you.” –Sophia’s world-

Quoting the clarkson

“You can’t rationalize car like this. They are not something you can buy with your head but with your heart, because you love them. But then who can explain love.”  Jeremy Clarkson reviewing supercars

I also wish I can buy stuff with my heart too. Too Sian of begging parents to let me drive. Bah!

Look of love

“And even if this person bugs you sixty percent of the time, well you still can’t live without him.”

“ And even if he wakes you up every day by sneezing right in your face, well you love his sneezes more than anyone else’s kisses.”

So true, so true

“When I see Hiroko waiting for me outside Churchill’s, I remember this thing I once read on a problem page about the person who holds the power in any relationship.

The agony uncle reckoned that the person with the power is always the one who cares less. And as Hiroko looks up at me with her open, hopeful smile, I see the wisdom of that agony uncle.

There’s no reason why I should have any power over Hiroko. She is younger than me, smarter than me, prettier than me. She’s also a lot nicer than me. Whichever way you slice it, Hiroko is a far better bet than me.

But Hiroko cares more than I do. So in the end everything else – her looks, her youth, her niceness – doesn’t matter.”

– One for My Baby, Tony Parsons

So true

Everybody Lies

 

“It’s a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies.”

Many people have said that I trust people too easily, yes I do. But only to things that I don’t think it’s really important. However if it comes to important things, there are not much people I trust. I lie too, I wonder if it possible to live a life without lies? White lies are lies too. It might be possible, but lies just make life easier.

 I wonder, will you, have you lie to me?

Marriage

Read an article about why there is not a need to get married anymore, and one famous celebrity example quoted is Johnny Depp who is not married with his partner but together they have 2kids. However I believed that a marriage is still important. It might be easier to walk away with no strings attached once problems arise but nothing is ever easy. To make things work, hard work is always required.  

“Remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always. A promise, like a reward for persisting through life so long alone. A belief in each other and the possibility of love. A decision to ignore simply rise above the pain in the past. A covenant, which at once binds two souls and yet severs prior ties. The celebration of the chance taken and the challenge that lies ahead. For two will always be stronger than one. Like a team braced against the tempests of the world. And love will always be the guiding force in our lives. For tonight is mere formality. Only an announcement to the world of feelings long held, promises made long ago in the sacred space in our hearts.”

TRANSCRIPT:
Shame on you. This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you’re going to let it be the worst. And I guarantee a week won’t go by in your life you won’t regret walking out, letting them get the best of you. Well, I’m not going home. We’ve come too far! And I’m going to stay right here and fight for this lost cause. A day may come when the courage of men fails… but it is not THIS day. The line must be drawn HERE. This far, no further! I’m not saying it’s going to be easy. You’re going to work harder than you ever worked before. But that’s fine, we’ll just get tougher with it! If a person grits his teeth and shows real determination, failure is not an option. That’s how winning is done! Believe me when I say we can break this army here, and win just one for the Gipper. But I say to you what every warrior has known since the beginning of time: you’ve got to get mad. I mean plum mad dog mean. If you would be free men, then you must fight to fulfill that promise! Let us cut out their living guts one inch at a time, and they will know what we can do! Let no man forget how menacing we are. We are lions! You’re like a big bear, man! This is YOUR time! Seize the day, never surrender, victory or death... that’s the Chicago Way! Who’s with me? Clap! Clap! Don’t let Tink die! Clap! Alright! Let’s fly! And gentlemen in England now abed shall know my name is the Lord when I tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our Independence Day!

End Year/New Year Thoughts

4 more days to a brand new year.

It seems like just yesterday it was year 2007 and now we are going to welcome year 2009 soon.  This year seems to have past by with a flash. But it has been a good year, with some of my goals and wishes achieved.

May this coming year, more of my goals and wishes will be achieved, may it bring more joy and success with less sadness and regret.

It will be a good year ahead. Happy New Year, my friends and have a good year ahead.

“As this New Year begins, my thoughts turn to years gone by, the good, the bad times, sad and happy, all are etched upon my heart. Who knows what lies ahead for me, but the past I leave behind, I want to have the happiness, I’ve tried so hard to find. The soul-searching I have done for years is slowly making waves, the future look brighter; there are decisions to be made. I know to have what I desire will take everything I have, willpower, courage, wisdom and support from special friends. This time next year will I look back and read these New Year thoughts or will I have found the happiness that I wish upon my heart.”
