20th oct – topic of the day
yeap, like i mentioned – im a book person.
some learn abt life’s lesson through movies, some through personal experiences, i absorb mine through books. to each his, sorry, her own.
today’s topic – LOVE
(well, i think this is everyone’s fav topic ! haha )
love – actions or words
how do you normally express your love?
i’m not too sure about you but i’m uses both method.
if i love you, i will let you know.
if i love you, i will do something for you.
the book:
‘when you showed someone how you felt, it was fresh and honest. when you told someone how you felt, there might be nothing behind the words but habit and expectation’
hey, this is leading me to the next topic.
_______________________________________________________
okie, let have a break.

are you a giver or a taker?
i think in a r/s, there must be someone who gives and someone who takes.
what are you?
70 / 30
mmm its hard placing oneself on a scorecard.
i think, i am a giver more den taker.
generally, i give more den i take.
and i dont want anything in return.

PS – this is the 301th entry ! groove on.
being a girl
this blank entry sat in my draft for almost a mth.
i’m a ‘slow worker’ haha ~!
being a girl, i felt that its better being a guy.
not that being a girl is boring, its not that bad being the weaker sex (i’m not a strong woman!) having guys opening the doors etc
anyway.. but i think it better being a guy.
how so?
first – they are simple. less emotional, more practical, straight to the point. there’s a problem, here the solution. traits that i liked. second – you dont get pregnant. for the record, i love kids. (ask jo!) but carrying a growing belly for 9 mths, it not gotta be fun. third – get away with stuff. the usual. hey, i hardly give a damn abt this point. but you know? just stating the benefits.
lazy to state the rest of the reasons..
given a choice: i will choose to be a guy. and i’m pretty sure, i make a good bf ! i’m sweet/sensitive / nice / loyal. what else could u ask for? monies? oh. well, u gain something, u lose something.

weight limit
you know the situation:
when you step into the lift and the ‘weight-limit-alarm’ (whatever you call it! haha!) went off.
i guess, the normal pple like you and me will murmur a small sorry and step out of the lift. not this lady i met the other day. she simply stood there – pretend. wow, i gotta give it to her ability to act-blur and pretend.
a few seconds passed.
finally someone else step out of the lift. the lift door closed. in the lift, i gave her a couple of dirty looks – whats wrong? yes, you could be late, like very late. but well, to stand there and endure a lift-ful stare. that take courage or super thick skin.

3 second thoughts
2.45am –
its me. i thought of what to do for your bdae..
xmas and bdae present combine..
but trust me you will love it, yes yes..?
her msg woke me up. i could feel her excitement amid the flu meds and dreamy state.
these are the clues:
*save abt $500 – which i translate to not that expensive country.
*17th – 19th jan – which i translate as nearby country.
*she said, if i think real hard, i’ll be able to guess. but i’m not thinking abt it. i loved surprises, ist part of the fun !
more clues:
*$500 exchange with mr wong. (i’m guessing – msia)
*not much shopping (i’m guessing – beach resort)
the revelation:
17th Jan
when we’re at the airport.
the warning:
je ne fer says:
if you back out on me.. you will be so dead
!!!!!!
hahaha
the yes:
i agreed, w/o hesitation.
i’m a yes yes girl. finding it hard to reject adventure. and i’m going with her. i’m sure between both of us, we will pull some crazy stunts and laugh our head off.
daring me:
saying yes without knowing exactly where im heading, but isnt life like that? you never know what the future brings.
so, yeap, i’m heading to an unknown location this coming jan.
so excited !!
happy groove.
being positive
this is supposedly to be a.. a.. ‘serious’ entry.
(am i capable of writing serious topic?)
anyway, i re-wrote the entire entry coz i bored myself reading it. haha !
the new entry:
positive.
i would say, its not only in-build in us, but its a skill you could learn over time.
i mean, quit whinning aldy. get up, do something abt your life. you not gotta move forward if you refuse to move your butt.
i can push, shove, bully, tok, hold your hand, nag, comfort, (did you realised i dont scold?!)
but you, yourself gotta take action.
whats the sentence? oh, you r responsible for your own life.
yes, i whine too.
i got beaten by life sometimes too, den?
be strong. learn lah. laugh. yes, laugh. dont take life too serious, have fun ! (pls dont go to the extreme hor)
even fairy godmother have limited patience okie?
anymore whining, i’m gotta grant you 2 wishes instead of 3. haha as if i could really make wishes come true ! even though, sometimes i wish i could..
sigh. i whine on my blog but i’m still patiently listen to others and try to help.
i’m nice. i know.
and i hear that nice pple die young.
can i be evil den? :p

stop it.
Stop it.
“haha you really need to learn to stop apologizing for everything
no no, it’s how you work, just that i feel that you’re too nice, maybe
i do know that you mean it
which is part of the problem
you shouldn’t need to apologize for everything even if you mean it”
whatsup?!
ah.
do i wanna defend myself? no.
is there any reason? no.
do i hestiate before i aplogise? now, yes.
any conclusion? no.
will i change? maybe.
interesting.
extract the following from my book.
‘apologies arise when there a sense of accountability. to say i’m sorry to someone implies tat there’s been some significant/ it implies that u recognize a r/s and respect it. an apology arises from a social contract: a rule has been broken and an apology is an attempt to fix it. it’s also an act of recommitment to the r/s’
hands up if you agree. 🙂
