My friend just revamped his blog. He added a wish list, where he listed down the items he want. Out of curiousity, I asked him whether has he seriously thought of what he wants in life, besides material stuffs?

He answered:
There's no single goal, just wanna try to experience whatever life has to give as much as possible. Of cos you've to balance both time and money; what is needed for you to do and what you enjoy doing.

How true. It would be great if you've a clear vision of what you want to achieve in life. If you don't, it's also fine. Just like what my friend said, experience whatever life has to give as much as possible. I like that..

Another question for all:

What are your views about a younger man marrying an older woman?

Recently, I read an article on older women marrying younger men. It's common for younger women to marry older men but when a man loves a much older woman, he received adverse reactions from the society. As expected, society is still against such romance as such relationships are not within the norm, especially in the East. True love sees beyond differences in language, skin color or age. So long as the couple is truly in love, their relationship should be accepted. What do you think?

Just something to share, which I think is really sweet..

HUGS

There's something in a simple hug
That always warms the heart
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part.

A hug's a way to share the joy
And sad times we go through
Or just a way for friends to say
They like you 'cause you're you.

Hugs are meant for anyone
For whom we really care
From your grandma to your neighbour
Or a cuddly teddy bear.

A hug is an amazing thing
It's just the perfect way
To show the love we're feeling
But can't find the words to say.

It's funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good
In every place and language
It's always understood.

And hugs don't need new equipment
Special batteries or parts
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts.

A good friend.

Few days ago, someone asked me: "Do you think xxx is a good friend?"

"What's your definition of Good Friend?" I asked.

His answer: Different definition for different people.

Hmm, this is interesting. I thought everyone has A definition for everything. For me, a Good Friend is..

Someone whom you feel comfortable and secure to share everything with - your secrets, your emotions, anything under the sun.

Someone who doesn't take you for granted. Someone you enjoy spending time with.

I'm glad to have a few close friends who are just like that. They brought joy and laughter to my otherwise boring life.

Borrowing a quote from a friend:

Some special people make the world brighter just by being in it.

P.S: What's YOUR definition of a Good Friend?

Why do some people lament and complain about their lives when they are so much more fortunate compared to so many others? Greed. (one of the 7 deadly sins) That is why. Most people never seemed to be satisfied with what they have. They always desire more. Bigger apartments, bigger cars, even a more beautiful partner perhaps.

Do all these really make a person happier? After getting what they desire, they may yearn for other things. And the list goes on, dragging them into a vicious cycle.

These people are so blinded by greed that they do not realised being contented with what you have is where true happiness lies. 知足常乐，明白吗?

Here's a question for all:

What will you do when you found out that your ex married another girl because he got her pregnant?

1. Feel a little sad but get over it fast cos you broke off with him almost 3 years ago, or

2. Feel annoyed and wonder why he was two-timing you, or

3. Feel really bad and start to wonder if there is anything wrong with yourself?

Do leave me a comment on this. Thank you. = )

Wonder how I survived through the long painful days of mugging for exams?

The Study Table! Notes, textbook, post-its, highlighters and pens all over.. Messy!



My little fragrance burner.. The white musk or lavender fragrance keeps me calm n focused..



My samsooni pig! Basically I just vent my frustrations on her when I can't concentrate.. hiak!



Lastly, some delicious snacks n coffee! On today's menu..



Ok, enough of mugging! I'm heading down to union for some salsa! Buai buai..

Not been blogging much lately. Not in mood for anything. Pretty pissed with myself for not making good use of my time. Don't you sometimes feel that you should be doing something more constructive, e.g studying, but you're not? Sigh. I've been feeling like that since last week. I know I should be studying for the coming exams but I just can't seem to settle down n focus.

Feeling restless, not able to concentrate. Lazy. Yes, I'm getting lazy. I've been bitten by a huge lazy bug! Maybe because I've too much free time on hand, that's why I'm having the 'there-is-always-tomorrow' mentality. This is not good. Time to buck up n study hard! Ganbatte-ne!

During dinner with some friends, I suddenly popped the question "Do you think men can multi-tasked?" Most of my friends don't have an answer to my question, but personally I feel that most men CANNOT multi-tasked. No, I'm not biased against men. According to the book "Why men lie and women cry", a man's brain is compartmentalised and specialised. This gives him his 'one-thing-at-a-time' approach to everything he does in life. A woman's brain, on the other hand, is configured for a multi-tasking perfomance. That is why men can only seem to do one thing at a time.

Location: Pearl centre hawker
Target locked: Zhi char stall beside the one selling western food (think it's a yellow signboard)

Please people, don't buy from this stall. They really 'kill people, set fire' lor. A small plate of hotplate tofu cost $10 n a small plate of hor fun cost $8!! Mind you, the serving is small n taste only so-so. Ridiculous man! I think they are out to 'tok' people. So please, DON'T buy from the stall.

My dance journey..

Was watching So You Think You Can Dance 2 just now. It's amazing how some people cannot differentiate between dancing n moving their bodies. It's painful to watch some contestants do their moves without following the music at all. It's like they cannot sense the rhythm of the music. Some of the contestants claimed to be dance instructors for goodness sake, but they can't dance AT ALL! Dancing (to me..) means you need to listen n feel the music, be able to sense the rhythm n let your moves flow with it. Moving your body, on the other hand, simply means moving your body.

This reminds me when I just started learning salsa. Most of my friends were rather surprised. They don't see me, or rather I don't portrait myself as the dancing type, especially not sensual dance like salsa. Anyway, I guess I was pretty much inspired by the movie Dirty Dancing 2. I was attracted to the way they moved their bodies, sexy and with so much passion. I still remembered the first time I went to union. Being a newbie to salsa, I was conscious about my footwork, timing n everything. I just stay outside the dance floor, exciting yet afraid to take the first step. My very first dance was with my instructor. After that, all was magical. Once you started, you don't want to stop.

It's been 8 months since I started my salsa journey. I realised dancing not only makes you look good; it makes you understand n appreciate your body. Each n every move requires co-ordination. That's why u need to understand and appreciate your body in order to groove with style. Dancing also makes you open up to others.

When the man leads his lady on the dancefloor, he not only leads her. He gives her respect by leading her well. He brings her onto a journey, not merely steps.
When the lady follows her man well, she is not just following him. She accepts him and gives him trust for bringing her onto a journey, even if it's just 5 minutes. She respects herself by giving himself and herself that confidence to dance.

What I've also learnt is Don't think, Just dance. Just really enjoy the music. Feel the rhythm translate into your heartbeat. Feel it with your heart and you will enjoy dancing, even if your footwork is not as good. It's ok to make mistakes here and there. What's important is to really enjoy yourself.

There's still so much more to learn n explore. Let my journey continue...

Like to recommend a book I read recently. A hilarious novel by Claudine Cullimore - Small-town girl.

In a small town, everyone knows everything about you and what they don't know, they can easily find out. So when Rosie Flynn's husband Richie leaves her for a MUCH older woman, the inhabitants of Waterford are only too eager to share every moment of Rosie's shock and humiliation with her. Rosie thinks she'll never get over Richie, that her life will never be the same. But with the help of her family and friends she discovers, to her surprise, that she wouldn't want her old life back anyway.

Thoughts after reading..

Sometimes when you lose something or someone, it may not always be a bad thing. There are times when you've to lose something in order to gain something better. You can never predict the future. So, don't dwell too much over your loss and move on with life. You'll never know, something better may be coming your way.
