Two.:.Four.:.Six

We'll be in what most people would say, one of the most romantic cities, watching one of the best shows in the world :) Thanks to my generous Uncle. So looking forward to the trip! And he promised MORE to come.

Thursday morning. Huge bee-like insect in my window. In an attempt to kill it, I tripped over my own legs - ya, who say long legs are always good?, fell and banged my head against the wardrobe. It was so dramatic I tell you and I could only get my composure together almost immediately after the fall and continue to kill the insect. It was dead eventually. And I could have been too. Aren't you glad your daughter/sister/wife/friend/cousin/niece/colleague/aunt is still alive? But she's suffering her instant karma by having an obvious blue black on her knee, internal bruises which you can't see but hurt and likely a bump on her head. As if my body is not aching enough, he suggested playing badminton later. Gotta be kidding!

Notice the changes I did to my blog? I've always love black & white photos. Classic and timeless. But I don't exactly like myself in that photo. Flat nose, chubby cheeks... But sometimes it's not about the imperfection. It's about someone who's willing to accept you for who you are. Like how he finds my button nose cute. Whether he means it or not. Like how all parents will find their kids cute. Even if they are not in others' eyes. Like how a boss will forgive you for the mistakes you make and believe you will do better. No one is perfect. How much of imperfection can you accept?

I came home and found myself using the last few drops of shower foam. I asked him what he's using after his shower because it smells like nothing that is left in the bathroom. He said the one I bought. Strange because I did not buy any shower foam. He has been using my shampoo as his shower foam while I was away. I told him to get me a greeting card just now. He said ok, he'll get me an ezylink card. When I indeed went to top up my card, he said he'll do it. He really meant it. Now, should I be happy he kept his promise or feel pathetic that romance is nowhere near us?

It was tiring! Lack of sleep, lots of travelling, bad traffic, lots of talking about the same thing... But I survived! 15 Mar, Monday 945am flight, managed to watch The Blind Side on the plane! Saved $9.50..haha 3pm check in to hotel 4pm meeting 1130pm back in hotel after dinner & drinks 1ish am zzzz after failure to check emails Day 1's thoughts: The airport is way too old and the traffic keeps you awake (in a bad way). Didn't realise it's left hand drive in Phil but didn't bother me much. Lane markings seem to be meaningless as cars try to squeeze through in a rather systematic way, fortunately. Zebra crossings are redundant too as the cars seem to ignore them anyway. But I guess that makes the locals experts in jay walking. Ambulances seem to be working hard constantly. I could hear one each time I was on the road - not a good thing aye? I even saw an accident on the way back to hotel. The man was lying there motionless but I hope he was just injured, not dead. ...

People around me being unhappy. Especially when there's nothing much I can do. It's not like cheering up a kid with candies or ice-cream. We aren't kids. It's not like a few words will do the magic. Do you really believe in magic? It's not like you'll wake up and realise it's just a dream. Yes, dream you may but reality is still reality. So babe, be strong! You're down now but you'll be up in no time. Have faith and we'll catch up soon shall we? XOXO

The week has been tiring, eye-opening and eventful. But nothing beats being home :)

Lunch with friend and son. The last I saw him he was a 1month old sleeping baby and now, bam, he's gonna be a year old in 3 months time. Really admire my friend for her strength! Once again, asked myself the same question - how am I gonna do it? Super mum and me are simply total strangers! Maybe not all mums are and need to be superb but who are we to say it's that easy, especially if you have not been there done that? Afternoon was girly and work stuff which kinda pissed bro off. It just wasn't our or my luck I guess. ION to Wheelock to ION and Epic centre's service generally... SUX! Settled the mac, had some retail therapy and sponsored nail session and I was home to an argument. I don't understand. I really don't. Why can't there be more trust and faith? Why can't there be platonic friendship. Anyway, the mac is running well with what it needs to have. Hopefully everything works out fine.

Not McDonald's because that I can pop by anytime I want. But a mac book. Yes, the company FINALLYYYYYY (can't emphasize this any further) decided to get me one. And it got almost everyone excited. There were the, congrats you've got a new toy! Wow, you've been 'promoted' to using a lappy (with 1 eyebrow raised I think) and the why do you need one responses. Don't tell me why I don't need one because I do! And fuck la, you made it so difficult that I feel pathetic finallyyyyy having one, like I had to beg for it. But enough of the complaints... Work goes on, in fact more... Time to enjoy this weekend and get stuck in Phil & KL next week. Kinda looking forward to it. Pray for my safety will ya? And then it's the wedding! Managed to find a new white top - I like to buy new clothes for weddings :) And and there's the bizarre coincidence I need to tell you. Till then, have a great weekend!

There were a few examples but below are my personal favourites and what I can remember. ONE Mr. Grumpy: What do you call an auntie who's unfriendly? Me: ....... Mr. Grumpy: Auntie-social (anti-social) TWO Mr. Grumpy: What do you call an auntie who's a man? Me: ...... Mr Grumpy: Auntie Lucy I gotta give it to him sometimes. He can be funny in a lame way.

Is of one in the computer room and the other in the bedroom either sleeping or watching TV or sometimes both. Last Sunday, I was stuck in the bedroom, he in front of the computer. This Sunday, we switch roles and I'm stuck with finding hotels. WE totally love our life. Separated life that is. On another note, hotels in Europe are freaking expensive! We're gonna be so broke after April :( Doesn't help that air tickets went up by the price of perhaps a Prada wallet since I last checked. Double :( Rail tickets aren't that cheap too. Boo hoo. So yes, we'll be away the last 1.5 weeks of April. For our honeymoon at last... :)

And today, Jack Neo's affair were splashed all over the papers, which most likely won't stop in the days to come. Why am I not surprised? Men. With or without looks. With or without charm. With or without money. With or without family. With or without integrity. Can still cheat. Can someone tell me why women still fall for them? We are a silly bunch of people aren't we? Or perhaps a bunch who believes not ALL men are men.

How can someone so kind and near perfect be treated like that. How can someone who looks decent enough be such a bastard. It's so frustrating, really. But what can we do? Accept fate and learn to let go like you said or fight for what you deserve I thought? At times, I really don't know what's exactly the right way. It's like no matter which side of a coin you flip to, you get a different image, a different story. And how do you know which side is the better one? You don't. You just suck it in and move on. Ya, like how you tell a child who has fallen to stand up and walk again. Like how you tell a child to stop crying by perhaps giving him/her a candy. But we are all adults. Adults who take a longer time to stand up and walk again. Adults who probably won't stop crying no matter what. And who set the rule that only adults have to deal with these? I don't get it. It's like someone with so much good karma can have such fate then what's gonna to happen ...

Is always very round and because it's the last day of CNY and it was right in front of us when we left for dinner, I thought it was pretty nice to see a full moon. I mean, how often do you look out for it on every 15th? Kinda random but I was disappointed to find it 'missing' when we came back. I saved myself $5 by getting my brother in-law to trim my fringe for me. I guess bangs won't stay with me for long. I'll most likely chop off my hair again later part of the year. Hee, we'll see. I bought a pair of heels just now. You know, at times, being tall is a pain. You can't wear high heels when certain outfits do look better with them. Well, you can unless you don't mind being a giant among the crowd or the discomfort that comes with it. Anyway, I bought a 1.5inches one that is meant more for travelling. I realised I've recently bought quite a number of stuff that are meant for business trips - suitcase, pants, tops, heels and then I wonder how many tr...
