    为什么

    为什么你爱的人不爱你, 而你不爱的人却那么死心踏地的爱你。。。
    爱一个不爱你的人总是辛苦的,
    为何不试着去爱那位深爱你的人呢?
     
    Please pardon my poor written Chinese....
     
     

    The farewell letter

     
    A very sad poetry....grips my heart...
     
     

    The farewell letter

    By Geoff Tims


    You said you loved me,
    I was the one,
    The one for you as you were for me,
    We had plans, dreams and a future,
    A future of children, memories and old age,
    I now have nothing.

    I saw you but you did not see me,
    Your heart, your soul was engaged with another,
    You smiled; you kissed like we did on our first date,
    I cried from a distance, as my heart died a horrible death,
    He had his hands all over your body,
    The body I had worshipped, honoured and nursed in your hour of need,
    A virus that cannot be healed
    Now contaminates your being.

    I gave you my home, my heart and my future,
    Two years of marriage,
    Four years of love melted by your infidelity,
    My bags are packed,
    You are my past,
    I now search for my future,
    A future of love, trust and commitment,
    Commitment that you, my love, could not spell,
    Honour or obey.

    #12 - When your partner has had a really long hard day, run a hot bath for her. Pour some fragrant bath oil into the tub and gently bathe her from head to toe. Carry her into the bedroom. Gently towel her dry and tuck her into a freshly made bed with a kiss on the forehead.

    Next, get a piece of paper and write

    Draw a big red cross below this and stick the paper to the top of the box. Tell your partner to open the box when things get really tough.

     

    Formula for do-it-yourself Thai Iced Tea

    From now on, my favourite drink will no longer be green tea & milo iced, but Thai Iced Tea & Green Tea Latte!

    Got to forget the past that brings back old memories! 

    Thai Iced Tea

    1. Brew a pot of strong black tea.
    2. Add two pieces of star anise (availabile in many grocery stores and most Asian markets) and a cinnamon stick to the pot. 
    3. Allow the tea to cool. 
    4. Pour over ice and add sweetened condensed milk to taste.

    Beijing! Here I come...

    Dear Diary,
     
    You are my only listener when I'm without an audience...
     
    The party tonight has been cancelled. The party animals are on-flight to Europe for their next week biz meetings. I'm alone for the weekend. Its okay to be alone. But its tragic to feel lonely. How true...
     
    And loneliness griped my heart and seared through my soul as it does so very often nowadays....
     
    I can't help but wonder if men are born to be contradictory....I should be happy at my decision to relocate to Beijing.... I've managed to negotiate a very good package against the norm..... I should be happy to leave behind the heartbreak affairs.... but why the feeling of sadness....why the sudden feeling of lost....a thinkle of sadness lingers deep down in my soul....I supposed I still have a soul left....don't laugh at me please, dear diary...
     
    I should move to Beijing...there is nothing left behind worth staying back for in this heartbreak island.
     
    My life story again, dear diary. You got to know me more....
     
    I was suppose to be back to Singapore enroute Zurich but the earlier connecting flight was cancelled. As such, I had to stay overnight in Zurich and catch the next day's flight. Somehow I had a strong feeling the turn of event in my life must be for a purpose. And we met. She came into my life on that flight back from Zurich.
     
    We had a great time chatting. I felt intriguing chemistry between us. She is unique, not the very good-looking or gorgeous kind but presentable and charming in her own way. Somehow what she does for me on that flight captivated my heart. The pamperedness I was lavished makes me want her to be by my side all my life....its a strange feeling that is beyond any word to describe. No doubt SQ treats its PPS club members really good but deep down in my heart I was yearning her attentiveness and constant eye contacts was for a reason....a liking perhaps....and that its more than just her job and her duty...
     
    Is this love at first sight? Is this destiny? Is this merely infatuation? Or is this wishful thinking?
     
    Before the flight landed, I asked if there is anyway we can continue the enjoyable conversation we've had in a different time, at a different place where she no longer has to address me by my last name. She asked for my namecard. My heart sank. A method they usually use inorder not to give out their contact number to guys they aren't interested in. Luckily my namecards aren't in my hand carry luggage and she wrote down her number for me. My heart was beating so fast. Its not my first time asking girls for numbers but this time round I don't know why it meant so much to me that I was so afraid to lose touch.... did someone once said it takes 3 mins to fall in love?...
     
    Anyway, she came into my life. She completely disrupted my plans. She sends ripples in the still water as they said.... its not her fault. Its mine. I stopped my routine life and my well planned-out days..... I stopped doing what I planned to achieve.... All I could do all days....is to think about her...When I comes to falling in love, I am like a high school boy...

    Finally I expressed my liking for her.....she rejected.... She says she's not ready for another relationship...
     
    Why must I be so 痴情? Why must I drowned mysef in sorrows for the last two months? Why must I feel so much for her when she feels nothing for me? When she merely treats me like a normal friend...

    I know, it only boils down to a single fact - that I'm not the one she is looking for.
    For if I am, she would ready herself for the relationship no matter what.
     
    Fresh air after the heavy downpour this afternoon fills the atmosphere...the smell give a feeling of a fresh start. Yes, I should move on with my life now...

     

    张靓颖 - 我们说好的

    Another sad sad song.....
     
    Lyric:
     
    好吗, 一句话就哽住了喉
    城市, 当背景的海市蜃楼
    我们, 像分隔成一整个宇宙
    再见, 都化作乌有

    我们说好决不放开相互牵的手
    可现实说过有爱还不够
    走到分岔的路口
    你向左我向右
    我们都倔强地不曾回头
    我们说好就算分开一样做朋友
    时间说我们从此不可能再问候
    人群中再次邂逅
    你变得那么瘦
    我还是沦陷在你的眼眸
     
    yiya yiya~~~

    我们说好一起老去看细水常流
    却将会成为别人的某某
    又到分岔的路口
    你向左我向右
    我们都强忍着不曾回头
    我们说好下个永恒里面再碰头
    爱情会活在当时光节节败退后
    下一次如果邂逅
    你别再那么瘦
    我想一直沦陷在你的眼眸
    这是无可救药爱情的荒谬
     
     

    阿杜 - 差一点

    You can download this song here:
     
    Lyrics....
     
    差一点你就是我的女人
    差一些手牵手的完整
    却在对的时间错过对的人
    抓不住幸福时分
     
    遇上了错的人渐渐的吻在她无心的嘴唇
    感觉像一个旅程走完了就分
    错过了对的人, 决定就只在那一秒那一分
    爱情的岔口, 你是我等不到的路人
    差一点你就是我的女人
    差一些就和你共度一生
    因为对的时间对的人
    就值得我为你奋不顾身
    差一点你就是我的女人
    差一些手牵手的完整
    却在对的时间错过对的人
    抓不住幸福时分

    错过了对的人
    决定就只在那一秒那一分
    如果没缘分
    我也会固执的为你一人
    差一点你就是我的女人
    差一些就和你共度一生
    因为对的时间对的人
    就值得我为你奋不顾身
    差一点你就是我的女人
    差一些手牵手的完整
    却在对的时间错过对的人
    抓不住幸福时分

    How to be romantic? Lessons #7 & #8

    It seems I haven't updated my blog with this entry for last two days so here you go, another two more ideas!
     
    #7 - Buy a stylish hand mirror and give it to your partner as a gift. Include a card in the box saying
    "In this mirror you will see the image of the most beautiful woman in the world."
     
    #8 - While walking with your partner on a weekend getaway, pick up a smooth stone and say that you're going to keep it as a special memento of your trip. Later, have a message such as
    "I Love Juirine!"

    engraved into the stone by a jeweler and give it to your partner.

     

     

    How to be romantic? Lessons #5 & #6

    Here's another two tips...
     
    #5 - Take a book that your partner is reading and using a pencil, underline letters in a section of the book she has yet to read to spell out a love letter. For example in the following exert from a novel, the underlined letters come together to spell out the secret message "I love you":

    The palace was a labyrinth, their passage through it tortuous and interminable. Initially they passed from building to building under the sodden sky. Steve's feet ached; he might have laughed at himself, the tireless traveler, grown too soft from his months in the city to walk any proper distance. Abruptly the guards halted.

    The underlined letters will make your partner curious and with a bit of luck she will write them down. Spend time to encode a proper message such as "Dear Juirine, I love you honey!"
     
     
    #6 - Drive into the country, find a grassy hill and lie with your partner and look up at the clouds. Play the kid’s game of looking for shapes in the cloud formations.
     
    If you live in a city like Singapore where there's no country-side nor grassy hill, go to the botanical garden! Lotsa grass to lie down over there!
     
    Stay tune for the next batch!
     
     

    Marriage jitters

    Maria just got married and being a traditional Italian, she was still a virgin. So, on her wedding night, staying at her mother's house, she was nervous! Her mother reassured her, "Don't worry, Maria, Tony's a good man, go upstairs and he'll take care of you!"
     
    So up the stairs she went. When she got upstairs, Tony took off his shirt and exposed his hairy chest. Maria ran downstairs to her mother, "Mama, mama, Tony's got a big hairy chest."
     
    "Don't worry, Maria," said her mother. "All good men have hairy chests. Go upstairs and Tony will take care of you!"
     
    So, up she went again! When she got there, Tony took off his pants exposing his hairy legs. Again, Maria ran downstairs to her mother. "Mama,mama, Tony took off his pants and he's got hairy legs!"
     
    Her mother replied,"Don't worry Maria, all good men have hairy legs. Tony's a good man, go upstairs and he will take good care of you."
     
    So, up she went again. When she got there, Tony took off his socks, and on his left foot he was missing three toes. When Maria saw this, she ran downstairs. "Mama, mama, Tony's got a foot and a half!"
     
    "Stay here and stir the sauce dear," says the mother. "This is a job for Mama!"

    Lyric, song, whatever you like can be found here:
     
    Enjoy!
     
    敦煌古墓的沙粒
    带着我们的际遇
    我从半路看回去
    这秦关漫漫好蜿踞
    梦想穿过了西域
    包含了多少的缠意
    爱情像一本游记
    我会找寻它的密语
    看..月牙湾下的泪光
    在丝路之上被遗忘
    是谁的心啊孤单的留下
    他还好吗我多想爱他
    那永恒的泪那一句话
    也许可能蒸发
    是谁的爱啊又为谁降下
    轻声呼唤就让我融化
    那一滴雨水演化成我翅膀
    向着我爱的人追吧
    梦想穿过了西域
    包含了多少的缠意
    爱情像一本游记
    我会找寻它的密语
    看..月牙湾下的泪光
    在丝路之上被遗忘
    是谁的心啊孤单的留下
    他还好吗我多想爱他
    那永恒的泪那一句话
    也许可能蒸发
    是谁的爱啊又为谁降下
    轻声呼唤就让我融化
    那一滴雨水演化成我翅膀
    向着我爱的人追吧
    是谁的心啊孤单的留下
    他还好吗我多想爱他
    那永恒的泪那一句话
    也许可能蒸发
    是谁的爱啊又为谁降下
    轻声呼唤就让我融化
    那一滴雨水演化成我翅膀
    向着我爱的人追吧

    How to be romantic? Lessons #3 & #4

     
    Becos' I'm so lazy to update my blog on a daily basis, so I'm gonna provide you with two tips each time I update it. Wink
    Its a good deal I know. So here goes...
     
    #3 - Buy a packet of glow in the dark stars and stick the stars on the roof above her bed to spell out a message such as "Juirine, I Love You". When the lights go down, your message will be revealed!
     
     
    #4 - Buy the domain name of your partner's name if it is available for example www.24thchromosome.com. Create a web page containing a romantic poem and a picture of a rose. When your partner is surfing the web, casually ask whether she has ever checked to see whether her domain name is taken. Let her type it in to discover her page.
     
     
    If you like these ideas, send me a message to let me know! Ciao!

    What does your birth date mean?

    Do you believe this sort of thing? Maybe I should change my car's color to Silver....but I still prefer black and orange.....Tongue out

     

    Your Birthdate: February 22

    You tend to be understated and under appreciated.

    You have a hidden force to do amazing things, doing them your own way. People may see you as strange and shy, but they know little.

    Your unconventional ways have more power than they (and even you) know.

    Your strength: Standing up for what you know is true

    Your weakness: You tend to be picky and rigid

    Your power color: Silver

    Your power symbol: Square

    Your power month: April

     

     

    How to be romantic? Lessons #1 & #2

     
    To all the guys out there, on a daily basis, I will share with you one way/idea to be romantic. Let's see if this online course takes us through into next year. For a start, and since today is a boring sunday, yours truly shall furnish you an extra bonus to make it two.
     
    #1 - If your partner is going away for a few days, tell her that you are worried about her so you have hired a bodyguard to look after her. Then give her a small teddy bear.
     
     
    #2 - On a special occasion, buy your partner eleven fresh, red roses and one artificial red rose. Place the artificial rose in the center of the bouquet. Attached a card that says:
     
    "I will love you until the last rose fades."
     
     
    That's all for today folks. Until next time, stay tune for your daily dose of romantic idea!

    My Lasik evaluation

    After weeks of anticipation, the day finally came for my lasik evaluation. The refractive surgeon was quite a well-known figure in this field. His clinic was packed. Appointment certainly doesn't help in anyway to short cut the queue...
     
    After an hour plus of waiting, I went through a series of tests where my pitiful eyes were put under the trauma of flashing bright lights and pupil dilating eyedrops. Vision was blurred for the next 2 hours. I was informed that my results qualified me as an ideal candidate for traditional lasik thanks to 4.5mm pupil, 580 microns Cornea thickness and low myopia/astig.
     
    Now comes my long-awaited chance for clarifying those complications written in mutitudes of articles against lasik. The counselor, when going through a dozen of "true" and "false" routine statements about lasik, pushes the ball to the doctor at my seemingly knowlegeable questioning. But its obvious he doesn't have the patience to even give them a thought.
     
    When its time for me to go through the results with the doctor, he too, did the same. It was disappointing to say the least. Request for complication rate record was met with a change of subject. Even with myopic eyes closed, I can smell the chase is after the money. So much for well-being of patient!
     
    Not sure if I can call this visit a blessing in disguise as "Retinal Tear" was diagnosed in one of the eyes. I was told...
    - Retinal tear occurs in 1 out of every 100 patients (true?)
    - mine was a minor tear but it can lead to "shadow effect" and utimately blindness if goes untreated (true?)
    I was asked to go through a simple, no-complication day surgery "Argon laser something something"....and I would be given a good discount if I do it that day.
     
    I was then hurried out the door for the next patient but I was determined to ask my last imposing question. Why was he still wearing spectacles when lasik was the key service offering of his clinic? Doesn't he believe in what he perform on his patient?
     
    He was stunt for a split second and out came these words...."the flap never heals...even ten years later if someone accidentally touch your eyeball, the flap may breakoff and serious complications may result." "If ever I were to do lasik, it'll be epi-lasik which is a different procedure and no cutting of flap."
     
    "But but but....doesn't Epi-lasik shave away the important bowman layer and Epithelium? Without bowman layer, structure of the eye would be compromise isn't that so?" "Well, bowman layer and Epithelium will grow back in 5 days. Now if you can excuse me its a busy day today. I can answer all your questions in your next appointment."
     
    I left the place with my pocket poorer by 100 bucks for lasik evaluation and another thousand plus for the Argon laser. Well, to console myself at least I've gotten what I came for i.e. that traditional lasik is completely out for me. If to improve one part of my body, I will be causing damage to other part, is certainly something I know I never will come to term with.
     
    And now, more research on Epi-lasik to verify the claim that bowman layer and Epithelium does grow back. Wish me luck, lotsa it. I'll like to believe the good news.
