Dedicated to s*R*n*...hee

hmm...wat we were talking abt last nite at esplanade...jot down some pts here.

- becoz u r now totali involved in it...u cant see urself like how we c u...if u can hop out of the little circle tat u r in now..things will definitely be clearer.n i reali mean CLEARER.

- i know its hard..n this is wat u've prayed for exactly, bt always trust that when u wan to jump out of it..u will still be able to. Juz becoz He gave u tat now..doesnt mean it is always urs forever...He will take it away fr u oni when u ask..or when it's in His plan.

- the pt is...He does provides..He does love us..we always trust that at the end of it..there's always a rainbow...but this is not to be interpreted in the sense that we shld push on n swallow everything..hide the hurts...drain the tears...

-I don know if u r waiting for an answer from Him now..mayb the assurance that u hav in ur heart is still very strong... i don mean to shake any of ur confidence n determination that u harbour...i juz hope u will look back at urself..r u truly enjoying gg thru all these for him?is tat future that u dream of any nearer or more possible dan last time?

-Only when we have complete faith n trust in Him, dan we will not demand any answer from Him. The circumstances that we r in justifies the decision tat we make..it may be His way of telling us the ans tat we always wanted from him.

Maybe this song applies to u now...S.H.E 'ta hai shi bu dong'. there's a line tat says... li kai shi xiang yao bei wan liu...ru guo kai kou na zhi shi wo yao lai de wen ruo...

dou shi bei le tai duo de xin yuan, liu xing cai hui die de na me zhong...ai tai duo xin ye you zhui hui de shi hou.

sorry hard to translate to ang mo here..will spoil the song...hee...try downloading the song lah k..

What Men Need to Know: 20 Things Women Find Irresistible

Listen up, guys! Women love it when you:

Own a pair of really nice shoes and actually wear them
Brush the hair out of our eyes
Are able to hold a baby or push a stroller without squirming
Plan an evening out from soup to nuts, from finding a movie to making the dinner reservations
Kiss creatively
Handle our emotions with grace and compassion
Have impassioned, informed opinions about women writers and women's issues
Can distinguish between being courteous and being wimpy
Know how to inscribe a card with a heartfelt, personal message
Demonstrate respect for others by standing up when your mother comes to the table, giving up a seat on the bus for a pregnant woman, asking your dad for his opinion and really listening, etc.
Show genuine, platonic interest in your female friends' lives
Are playful around dogs, cats and kids
Make the bed in the morning and fold the laundry -- competently
Offer juice, soup and TLC when we're sick
Do the come-from-behind cuddle-hug, just to say hello
Remember insignificant details, like our favorite color or flower, and make use of that knowledge
Are unfailingly polite to all members of the service industries
Offer us caresses and compliments for no particular reason
Understand that we don't always like it slow and gentle in bed
Understand that sometimes we do

The bold ones r wat i personally prefer.. haha..wat abt u?

The importance of kissing

Interesting article...specially dedicated to frens out there who r attached...namely, eh... rand, ruoying, serene...etc etc hahahahah

If you're into long-term coupling, don't let kissing fall by the wayside. Here's how to keep things fresh.

When your bloke comes home does he get a) a cup of tea b) a peck on the cheek or c) a full-on snog? Most couples start off their relationship using the c) option every night, but gradually slip down to b) and it isn't long before it's a) all the way. Weird really, because a) is actually the most time-consuming, b) is a bit boring and c) is really very, very nice!

And as well as being so pleasurable, French kissing plays an important part of a relationship. It acts as a bridge between love-making and the rest of life; a way to keep up the vital intimacy between you and your partner when you're not making love. If you don't keep up your kissing quota you run a risk of losing that intimacy, of forgetting how special it is to go tongue-to-tongue together.

Squeeze in more smooching But how can you fit more kissing into your day? You're so busy... You don't have time for it... You've forgotten how... Excuses, excuses! We're not suggesting you have to have great long snogs all the time, but a few quickies here and there when he's least expecting it will really wake up his interest, and yours.

So, turn to him while you're both alone in the kitchen stirring the spag bol... and snog. Come up behind him when he's brushing his teeth, get rid of that brush... and snog. Stuck at the traffic lights... you know what you've gotta do! And if you're shy about French kissing when others might see, just stick to the odd snog in the house. Once you start looking for French kissing opportunities, you'll be amazed at how many there are out there!

Shine up your skills Need to brush up your kissing skills? Here's how to give (and get) a gorgeous kiss. Keep your lips firm, gently probe his mouth with your tongue, flicking in and out until you feel ready for really intertwining with his tongue. Then once you've been at it for a few moments, back off a little, close your lips and come in again with the gentle probing. Keeping your eyes open gives you a nice soft focus; closed gives you a heady, dreamy, floating sensation. A bit of both is perfect.

Sensual delights If you've been kissing enough in the day, by the time you get into bed you may be ready to explore elsewhere with your tongues. Recent research shows that tongues are far more sensitive than fingertips, so make the most of it and lap him up!

Go for the ear. Flick the ear lobe with your tongue, then give it a nibble. Move on to the neck, sweeping great spine-tingling licks up and down. Don't miss out the nipples - most men love having theirs kissed as much as we do. The belly - often ignored, but a wonderful area to plant big wet kisses all over. Backs of knees, soles of feet and toes are also good, sensitive zones to pucker up to. And when you're ready to make love, head back up to his mouth again. Mmmmm... Kissing really can make everything better, can't it?

Great one huh...

Wat a great nite~

Well.....the whole of my sunday was spent outside..right from the morning of SOL 2 to the afternoon of shopping...the nite was much worth the talk.

Firstly, the baked pasta at NYDC. ya again...bt its still very delicious...esp when u r veryhungry...the baked cheese tastes heavenly.

Next, the choc fondue at Max Brenner Choc Bar (esplanade). Guess its so much better than Haagen Dazs's. The 3 types of choc (white, milk n dark) taste fantastic. Though as usual the fruits were rather pathetic for the price..but the feeling's so right. Esp. with the marshmallow after i sort of bbqed it over the flame myself..haha. Yummy....

N ya the relaxing part was sitting outside the esplanade..nice sceneries b4 n after 6pm. Wat a blessing to be able to enjoy the day n nighttime view .. plus the very cooling breeze at nite...wow...such a long time since i last enjoyed this peace..hehe..

Saw some Nus ppl taking their grad pix there too..hmm..quite nice feeling i guess...i was indeed a bit jealous haha..well...mayb its reali worth the effort to go down there for a pic or two...nice scenery nice environment. Bin n boon??Onz?? Can try ask more ppl?

I'm sure me n xj both enjoyed ourselves...n cheers to her last day of holiday...must study hard liao oh.

Hmm...Looking forward to making a home-make fondue some time soon...haha

 

24.7.04

Hurray!

Finally, with the grace and mercy of the Lord... i've managed to get my driving licence!!!Yeah!!!

I was so damn happy n relieved that my eyes were filled wif tears man.....

hee

Yeah...

Thank God...

Heading to serene's hse for the nite le...

Hope 2mr got nice weather for blading before church!!!

23.7.04

sight of the testers scares me

Today's driving was bit..waste money..my 52 bucks..mostly spent my time in the car..waiting for my turn to go thru each circuit obstacle..at 2pm suddenli all the testers car came out...so no choice..wait got even longer n longer..once again..i can feel the nervousness in the testee's stomach. the feeling...kinda sucks...some knock off the poles...u can see how to 'cool n stern' testers' looks...argh...i don understand, cant there be a more friendly environment to test us in?huh?they r still humans after all..hw can they manage to live wif putting on these stern looks everyday?haiz...

anyway, 2mr's the day. yes. 23rd july. marks my last day of driving lesson cum test.

Wateva the result, i'll be good.be cool.be calm.be happy.be glad.

Anyway, pass or fail, no car to drive.Money can always be earned back to repay my parents.

...I'll pray real REAL HaRd tonite!!

20.7.04

Counting down..

26 days of my freedom left.
 
Wat's more is there for me to do in order to cherish the remaining days?
 
I dare not say that i have rested enuff...coz sleep's never enuff to me.
 
Not played enuff.. coz i'm sure there are lots of stuff out there waiting me to play..but becoz of money constraint...haiz..
e.g..bowling, ktv, pool, more tours?..haha
 
N most importantly, no 'kakis' to play wif me esp during wkdays noons...hai...
 
Oh wat about more shopping?Sales ending soon...by this wk i guess...oh no...

All back to square one..

after several months together..several weeks of thinking thru n finali reachin a conclusion..plus yet another 3 days of re-consideration... my decision is final. I firmly believe that its for the better of us..in the long term, though he cant see it..though he don understand wat i mean by character differences that has contributed to all these...but i'll pray hard that he can tide over this soon..n get on wif his studies..I'll pray hard that i don look back on the good times..so as not to shaken my stand..this is a peaceful settlement..to prevent more hurts..to forsake the future good times...to allow each to find the assigned one..to stop draggin onto the nver-ending unresolved issues...this would be a good stop.
 
My life's gg to return back to normal..this week's gonna be occupied wif driving lessons n test. once again, i leave it all to the One above, and i strive hard on my part. Not to let emotions (if any) influence my performance. I wont let my parents down this time. Period.
 
But..if i ever do...(i hope not) , i will still trust that there is some unfulfilled plan waiting for me..some other important issues awaiting me..I'll move on.

New Blog!!

Thanks to serene n shumin!! They've got me a new blog here!! hopefulli it is reali more user friendly as i try to explore thru this thing...hee
 
oh sorry boon,bin n peixin...i can link my site to ur xangas...bt dun think u all can include my link in ur xangas...hmm...maybe u wld like to save this new url of mine into ur Favorites on ur browsers?sorry for the inconvenience ah..hee
 
so many days of not bloggin...hmmm...so many things that happened too...try to update some events here...
 
ok..15th july...convocation.,..dad chose to wear long sleeve shirt n pants but with sandals?!kaoz.he say leather not comfy coz the rest of their day r gg to b spent on the casino ship...haiz...dan morning trip to sch in dad's car driven by dad's night shift uncle..signs of a bad day was received as i sit in the cab...with the radio reporting some heavy showers gg on that caused a tree to fall in one area...and even floods in some other roads...wow...the gloomy morning weather tells me that the day gonna be moody all the way...
 
well...convo went on fine..spotted Tan How Teck our humble tax tutor wearing this blue gown n funny hat, being part of those 'professors' n very zai ppl who strolled down the steps wif those military kinda music n were seated on the stage thruout. other dan that...all other things were rather boring..speech on differences btw smu n ntu grads...argh...but still...i wouldn't deny it's juz a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me n my  parents lah..i do hope they feel proud of me..since i cant be proud of myself in anitin...taa//
 
oh ya then the fun set in...when boon n bin come...taking pix...esp bin grabbing mei mei to take pix wif her..i witness the entire event that took place in front of my eyes..how she traumatised him by vigourously tapping (or rather hitting/beating with the force of crushing a mosquito/housefly to bits of blood n mashed meat whahahah) and how the already pale n white mei mei so unwillingly being dragged into the photo...(was it me taking it) trying my best to capture the best angle n yet trying to save him from his bitter moments..hahah
 
oh well..apart from that..taking photos with the rest were fun too...reali hope tat the photos reali captured our memories in ntu for the 3 yrs in here...the ppl..the place...the atmosphere...
 
Okay..after taking pic ard sch except comlab which was unfortunately closed..*bin arghhh..* went to watch King Arthur .was not bad a show lah..bt expected it to be very very nice at first..nice part was how arthur showed his faith in God to the ppl ard him..how he unconditionally volunteered to save the poor slaves...n how he helped to convince them of wat the true christian values r..tat their so-called 'master' is nobody bt a human..n all humans r Equal. n he does not represent God.therefore they need not fear him at all. Wow. But was quite sad that he didnt hold on to his beliefs abt the perfect Rome in his mind..i thot he could hav been the one to make it a reality...bt he ended up staying with his own ppl rite...the show didnt tell much abt how he fulfilled his destiny neither in Rome nor his hometown..oni that he is happily married with the girl 'G'. hmm wondered if i interpreted it correctly...was quite sleepy thruout the show though...
 
ok..nuff of that day...nothing to say abt the nite coz there wasn't anything great. =p

Wrong signal

Men often believe you're flirting with them even when you're not. Here, Mark Mason explains the ten ways you can unknowingly send out the wrong signal

1. Putting one more kiss at the end of an email than he did. Women are naturally friendly - if flirting is a mountain, they're always walking in the lower foothills. But men want to get to the peak as soon as possible. Your extra 'x' was done without thinking. He assumes you're starting an auction of kisses that will end up with the two of you in bed.

2. Saying you like his shirt. The average man doesn't notice clothes - if you notice his, he'll think it's because you want to see them on your bedroom floor.

3. Asking questions about his girlfriend. You're just being nosy about his love life. He thinks you want a walk-on part in it.

4. Talking about your own relationship problems. You find it easy to discuss these things. Men don't, so he'll imagine that you're auditioning replacements for your boyfriend.

5. Approaching him at a party. Men see starting a conversation as the first stage of seduction. They can't understand why you'd do it just to be friendly.

6. Touching his arm as you talk. Women are more tactile than men - they forget that testosterone can be brought to the boil by the merest brush of a female hand.

7. Teasing him. You're doing it simply because you can, and it amuses you. He sees it as an early phase of the mating ritual.

8. Ignoring a call on your mobile when you're with him. You hit 'divert' because it's your boss and you don't want to talk to her - but the man's ego tells him you're captivated by his witty conversation.

9. Re-applying your make-up. A fresh coat of lip-gloss makes you feel good about yourself. He thinks it's being done to attract him.

10. Dancing with him. It's an Abba record - you'd dance with the nearest hat-stand - but your partner in boogie assumes that you want his body.

Of course, all these are things you might do if you are really flirting. But even if you're not, don't worry too much - wouldn't life be boring if you couldn't laugh at men?
