My Quote of the Day (29/04/08)
Have been pretty busy lately for my upcoming trip to update frequently. Finally managed to post a blog after a while. Credit goes to HIM for coming out with this rendition of an oldies, "Perhaps Love" lyrics to go with my picture. Did a bit of photoshop on the picture before uploading it. The photo of the violet little angel was a little gift I had it custom made for HIM. I have one too!**P.S. Hope the angel did bring you blessings and good luck...

Guy Rulez...
Got this from an email... I agree to a certain extent only. Ultimately, I think this is just an excuse. Personally I find that guys are harder to understand than girls. haha... (Note the numbering, '1' in order of priority.)
1. Men are NOT mind readers. (I am! haha... see earlier post.)
1. Shopping is NOT a sport and NO, we are not going to think of it this way. (Actually it is. Carrying bags is weight lifting.)
1. Crying is BLACKMAIL. (Erm... in case you guys don't know, a guy crying is more scary.)
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints DO NOT WORK!
Strong hints DO NOT WORK!
Obvious hints DO NOT WORK!
Just SAY it!
(I have to agree with this. Sometimes is not the guy don't know. Is just that he really don't want to take your hints. Think smart, act blur. haha...)
1. Yes and No are perfect answers to almost every question. (Of cos...)
1. Come to us if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. (We are dependable but not minor minor things which you can solve yourself... we have other commitments too.)
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor. (Eh... I am sure you know when you need a doctor. They are the professionals. Not us.)
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days. (Agreed... whatever spoken in the heat of the moment is not counted.)
1. If you don't dress like Victoria's Secrets girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys. (Erm... depends on figure la... haha... I still want to swallow my meals.)
1. If you think you are fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. (Yar... no right answers for it.)
1 . If something we said can be interpreted 2 ways and one of the ways make you sad or angry, we meant the other. (Very, very true... girls don't seem to know this. I speak for all guys with regards to this. We want you to be happy!)
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. NOT both. If you already know how best to do it, just do it yourself. (Yar... do it... if you need additional help just ask. We assist...)
1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials. (Provided its some soccer match finals or final episodes la... if not shld be ok... haha...)
1. Chistopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we. (I need road directions...)
1. All men see in only 16 colours, like windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit. Not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. (Ok la... I admit my vocab not as strong. But she is just trying to add colours to our life.)
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing", we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it i just not worth the hassle. (Just tell us.)
1. If you ask a question, you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear. (Hmm... then why you ask huh?)
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really! (Just dress apropriately for the occasion.)
1. Don't ask us what we are thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss topics such as baseball, shotgun formation or golf. (No la... you can ask but may not have answer...)
1. You have enough clothes. (Even if you don't have, you don't have enough wardrobe and hangers.)
1. You have too many shoes. (Even if you don't have, you don't have enough storage place or you don't need so many. Seriously.)
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape. (Er... Staying healthy and fit is important.)
Thank you for reading this, especially HER.
Yes, I know. I will go kneel on durians NOW...

Piecing it up...
HE just left for home after discussion of our exciting plans ahead for the holidays. Hopefully it goes out well, really looking forward to it.Planning something together is no easy feat, the more people you have, the more considerations you have to take into account while putting everything together. But guess till now I'm still enjoying it - working together with HIM. Come to think of it, seldom I have the chance to work hand in hand with him even during the school days, though we known each other from like age of 12? (wow... and I'm like mid twenties now. Does that mean I've known him for almost half of my life now?)Just like our blog, its also something we start up from scratch together, from our theme, design, format etc. Sometimes we have our disputes, nevertheless, I guess such communications are good opportunities for understanding more of each other's view points. We learn from each other and grow from our mistakes. Even though our characters may really differ greatly (as said by our horoscopes), who says only couples with similar personality are compatible? I beg to differ. Instead, I think that even if they are poles apart. as long as they are able to complement each other and most importantly, accept each other for who they are, happy endings in fairy tales can still happen..."To piece a jigsaw puzzle is not difficult...To find the ONE missing piece which completes you, may leave you intrigued forver..."Labels: character, holiday, jigsaw, livin, personality, puzzle, together

The "Headache" Couple
It reflected to me that my friends around us seemed to see me and HIM as a "difficult to handle" couple. Not that we are have any attitude problem towards them but just that they have a real headache when they are with us.. there's really never a quiet moment *grinz*
1) The Exasperated - "Will you two please stop squabbling?"
2) The Confused "Are you two bickering like that all the time?"
3) The Avoider - "May I change seats and not sit in between you two?"
4) The Conveyor - "Why do i feel like a dove conveying messages from both of you when you are just next to each other?"
5) The Peace Maker - " You two have your point, so will you two please stop arguing?"
So to our caring friends out there, thank you for your concern and do not worry. This is just our unique way of exploring more things/topics to talk to each other.

No HINTS needed...
I was surprised when she commented that I wasn't a simple guy. In fact, I am as simple as I looked. But surely there is a limit to how simple I can be. SHE just overlooked that part...
1) The Queen
If there is one thing that SHE is, SHE is definitely the QUEEN. Obviously, the queen is right up there, looking down on all HER subjects. Basically, SHE instructs and I follow. Simple right? Now you know what a simple guy I am...
Hmm... the newspapers have commented that Singapore guys are:
- Kia-su (Scared to lose)
- Kia-see (Scared to die)
- Kia-bor (Scared of wife)
Shucks... don't tell me I am one of them... No... I am not grumbling. If SHE thinks I am, things won't be as simple as it is now...

Taking the Hint
I decided to write this post as HE made me so fed up in trying to hint HIM. I still remembered calling HIM "silly" during the good old school days. Hmm, come to think of it now, either HE has grown cleverer or that I have become dumber over the years. HE is really 不简单（not simple)!1) Think Smart Act BlurThis is what HE always do best. Always feign ignorance and made me do extra things which most of the times, ended up making me looked stupid... (thanks huh..)2) 半日仙 (psychic)Either HE has learnt the art of mind reading, if not HE definitely got a crystal ball with HIM. Else, how did HE manage to predict my next move? I must find a way to checkmate HIM. Otherwise, my life will continue to be "manipulated" by HIM. (Grrr..)HE is like a mastermind behind a murder, HE is the one who passed the knife and I, on the other hand, is the stupid one stabbing it. HE will lead me thinking I'm so clever able to guess what HE is trying to imply and then damping my mood by correcting me. (Bleah!)
Ok, done with my grumbling... back to snuggling beside HIM.Labels: him, hint, livin, love, post, relationship, together

"Stages" in OUR Relationship...
Like SHE said, the memories can definitely put a smile on OUR faces. But not forgetting the laughter or the "shock" one can get out of it. After running through some of OUR photos, I pretty much categorize the whole journey of OUR relationship into 3 stages...
1) " LOBO * / 萝卜(Sounds like LOBO, means carrot in chinese)" Period
(*LOBO - A singlish word that is uniquely Singapore. A term which originated, and is still used mostly in Army. It is used to describe someone as an idler or a job as easy to handle. It is believed to be an acronym for either "Left Out Battle Order" or "Lazy Old Bastard". "Look at him, slack all day, very lobo."*)
This summarizes the period when things are still going slow with both of us slightly on the plump side. With 萝卜腿 (carrot liked legs) and 萝卜手 (carrot liked arms).
2) "PEAK＂Period
This essentially refers to the PIG period where continuous outings leads to continuous stuffing of food at new restaurants. Weight hitting an all time high!
3) Deja Vu Period
This is the period when we have been there and done that. Anything that we do feels like everything we have done. Also, it's intensive slimming to go back to the figure of the past.

Stages in Relationship
Walking down the aisle is not as easy as it seemed to be. The whole journey of a relationship is arduous yet brings back a smile with those memories. After going pass a number of milestone, I pretty much categorize the whole journey of a relationship into 4 stages...1) RomanceWhat can one expect out of a relationship that is just beginning to sprout? Definitely is romance, romance and more romance! The guy who finally got the girl of his dreams, after months of hardwork and effort in the courtship, he will go all out in pleasing the girl. On the other hand, the girl, is also certainly so much in love with him, which is why she accepted him in the first place.At this stage, not much in depth discussions of their background and differences, they would also possibly have yet to discover them. Even if they have, the differences which they have are often overlooked and not discussed in details. All blinded by their hopes and plans they have of their possible future together.2) UncertaintyAfter knowing this person for months, they start to realise each other's flaws and weaknesses. They start to experience conflicts and differences which they have never realize all this while. Some reflections and internal conflicts will be going through the mind. Considerations of whether is it worthwhile to go on with the relationship, whether is this really the ONE and how not to let these obstacles get into the way of the progress of the relationship are done. It is a critical stage where often a times separation ends up, yet necessary for couples that are able to passed this stage to prove their commitment towards each other and their readiness to progress into the next stage of their relationship.3) StabilityAfter all the struggles and ironing out of the differences, this relationship definitely would have grown stronger and more stable. The couple now feel more secure in concentrating on each of their individual projects. Stable it might seem to be, there is still a danger in neglecting the other half. They may feel to have drifted apart, with less sparks and passion as before. They may also feel that they are no longer so much in love with each other anymore. Being "bored" in this relationship, they may be tempted to seek new love interest to fulfill their crave for excitement.4) CommitmentAfter all this stages, the couple should be more or less prepared to commit to each other. They have come to know the person inside out and yet they still choose to be with each other. The decision to stick with this person for good or for bad is not an easy one. It just marks the start of their lifelong commitment towards each other in forming their own family nucleus and of course, ultimately to see themselves as an entity out of this entire population in the world...Labels: livin, love, post, relationship, romance, stability, stages, together, uncertainty

Dream Analysis
People have sweet dreams and I do dream of HIM too. The other night I just had a dream of HIM, a nightmare to be precise. Haha.
I had dreamt of HIM cheating on me yet denying it. It made me cried all through my dream. When I awoke I can still feel the sadness inside. STRANGE. So this prompted me to go have my dream analyze at Dream Moods.
Made use of the dream dictionary to type descriptive keywords to my dream to have it analyzed. Here it goes:
Keyword 1: Cheating
"To dream that your mate, spouse, or significant other is cheating on you, indicates your fears of being abandoned. You may feel a lack of attention in the relationship. Alternatively, you may feel that you are not measuring up to the expectations of others. This notion may stem from issues of trust or self-esteem."
Keyword 2: Crying
"To dream that you are crying, signifies a release of negative emotions that is more likely caused by some waking situation rather than the events of the dream itself. Your dream is a way to regain some emotional balance and a way to safely let out your fears and frustrations. In our daily lives, we tend to ignore, deny, or repress our feelings. But in our dream state, our defense mechanisms are no longer on guard and thus allow for the release of such emotions."
Hmmm doesn't sound like a good dream to have. Only positive thing is that I am thinking of HIM even in my dreams.. Wonder if HE ever dreamt of me before...
PS. I even dreamt of HIM proposing to me before! Ha

爱。。。LOVE
Traditional Chinese Character of "LOVE"
Love, or "Ai" as it is called in chinese, has a story to tell on its own as they are derived from elements they are associated with. Just by looking at the traditional Chinese character of "LOVE" above, one can find the Chinese character "HEART" (心) embedded within. Definitely, the heart has got a part to play especially in LOVE, else, why would the Chinese even come out with this saying of "爱得用心去经营" or "LOVE has to be managed by HEART".In the game of love, many a times you will find that you cannot always make sense out of things by using your brain and thinking logically. Instead, most of the time, it is always the case of following what your heart tells you to. For example, "willing to do anything for your the other half" is like a knee-jerk response that does not need any thinking, it just comes straight from the heart.Besides the obvious "HEART" (心) that can be easily recognized from the traditional chinese character of "LOVE", it also comprises of "HAND", "HOUSE" and "RELATIONSHIP"1) Hand - the stroke and 3 dots on top signifies a claw (爪) or hand2) House - the "cover-like" strokes in the middle of the chinese character " represents shelter or house3) Heart- 心 found right below of 2)4) Relationship - 友 at the bottom most of the Chinese character represents friendship or rather, relationshipThe traditional Chinese character of "LOVE" was derived from these 4 elements in the olden days by the ancient Chinese's basic understanding of love. A simple explanation to the derivation of the Chinese character is that the pair of hands is used to build a house to shelter the friendship which later on will grow into a deeper relationship.Presently, "爱" is now used in placed of the traditional Chinese character shown above. The simplification of the Chinese character has resulted in the "HEART" (心) being omitted out. Some have argued that the omission of the "HEART" (心) had resulted in the dilution of the meaning of LOVE as LOVE cannot work without the HEART. While some others have else to say..."...重要的不是把心放在爱里，而是把爱放进心里..."
(...more importantly, its not about placing the "HEART" into "LOVE", but placing love in your heart...)
