First Love

I was watching Oprah the other night and it featured 'Twilight' for the fanatics.

Apparently, there was a group of mothers who are Twilight fanatics. The co-host interviewed the mums and what made them so crazy about the show.

The mothers said, 'it reminded us, the feeling of first love'.


First love/teen love is certainly different.

It is full of infatuation. We tend to go great measure for first love. It felt as though that was the only love that we felt was meant for us. Without it, we would just die. Haha.

Truth is, we were just young. We were idealistic. We were driven by our emotions.

As we grow older, we tend to look at things in a broader perspective. We would go for something more practical. A great company would just be sufficient.

And sometimes, that high-school crush/college-fling/first-love is not the person who we really would want to end up with.

Grant Me The Strength

Dear God,

I wish you would grant me the strength to go through all your tests.

To get through the day with wisdom and positivity.

Going On 26

Swam in the pool, watched some movies, scrumptious dinner, delicious cake, overloaded breakfast, hot bath in the tub and of course, great company.

It was blissful.

It doesn't feel so different since it wasn't a big number or there isn't any significant event or turning point happening in my life at the moment.

I'm grateful to be where I am today, still breathing and having great people in my life and all that I am blessed with. Alhamdulillah. :)

Gastric

Ever since I was young, I've always had gastric problem.

Over the recent years, I've been getting severe gastric attacks every now so often.

The frequency would be between two or three months once.

The strange thing is, I've always thought gastric occurs when you skip a meal or have your meal late. So, I tried to monitor my eating pattern. Through my observation, I eat more frequently than I ever did! Previously, I usually skip breakfast. But now, I will never miss breakfast, lunch and dinner with occasional snacks in between.

But still the problem occurs! The worst part is, I get really embarrassed when my stomach keeps grouching even though I've just had a sinful meal.

This morning, I was made aware of gastric attack coming my way.

Hence, I googled up on gastric, how best to treat it, etc.

Then, I just figured out something!

Gastric can be caused by STRESS!

P/S : If anyone who happens to read this, and would know on how best to treat it or make my stomach stop grouching, kindly let me know how!

Lets Date!

This article seems to draw a lot of interest among my friends in FB.

My take?

It's hard to meet single men these days.

And it's even harder to find a man who complements you.

Of Pretty Women

Ever since I re-watched 'Pretty Women', I've been wondering, is there such life as how it was pictured in the movie?

You meet a calm charming man and he spoils you with all that he can offer.

And you get to shop as long as you want.

My colleague answered my inquisitivity, "Well, the movie only showed until the part that he proposed to her. It didn't show what happens after that".

Haha. True~!!!

Moment Full of Regrets

I wish I had put more effort. And attention was not what mattered.

I wish I had made the right choice. And it was of my own.

I wish I had stayed a while longer. To see how things would have turned out to be.

Arrrggghhhhhh!!!!

Do I have to endure all these pain for all those things I wish could be undone?

Till when?

I am NO FUN!

Maybe I'm feeling overly sensitive.

But somehow, I feel that CERTAIN people don't want to hang out with me or prefer to have other companies along, because I AM NO FUN.

Or CERTAIN people prefer to comment on other people's status/activities rather than mine, because I AM NO FUN.

On another note, one of my mentors invited to one of her events to share my experience. But I'm contemplating whether to participate. The last time I been to such event, I was known as melancholic.

Hmmm...? Guess, I better not? Or else I would bore people out of their wits?

Brand New Year

New Year was a blast!

Had lotsa fun!

Went north for a vacay!

Went south for a wedding and a visit.

Came back home and met few old friends.

A lot has changed although it wasn't long since we parted.

Overall, it was a great ending and a wonderful beginning.

Looking forward to what 2010 has to offer.

Happy New Year!

And The Next Mission Begins NOW!

This space has been awfully silent for quite a bit.

But I guess, it doesn't matter anyway, since I don't think anyone ever visit this blog or stumble upon it or would be interested to know about me or my life for that matter. Which gives me a freedom to express myself! Yee-haaa~! Hehe. :)

Anyhow, was busy with exams. Hope I'll pass this time around, can't bear going through another one anymore. I've just had enough of exams!

Now that it is over, the next mission shall commence. It's time to go rigorous.

Social Updates

Technology has done wonders.

These days, it's a tool of updates.

Blake Lively is like one of your BFFs, wherever she hangs out, that's the place you would want to be. Only that, you never get the chance to bump into her. :P

And Lady Gaga's outfit is just something you should get your hands on. Except that it would look totally off when you're not as famous as her.

Even if a person's not a celebrity, an occurrence in some normal person's life could steal the headlines of 'E News'. For a moment there, people seem to be more interested about your life than Alba's.

But, sometimes, it brings a shocker! That can turn you utterly speechless.

Beware, of the hole you're digging in, if you're not ready for what's gonna come out of it. :P

Internet Dating vs Arranged Marriage

Strange, how some people find it's okay to go for internet dating

BUT

arranged marriage is a TOTAL DOOM?

If it's somebody of your parents choice, don't you think they've done some research? Fair enough, people might say you can't based a judgement just solely from a person's family background and how that person is brought up. But if that's the case, what makes you so sure that some stranger on the other side of the screen is even real?

I'm not against either of them. I just find it funny when people try so hard to justify themselves just because they're in that situation. :)

Why People Decide To.....

Reached 3 conclusions!

1) Stability & Comfortable

2) Cost Reduction

3) Culture & Restriction

Hehe. :)

Learning

We learn new things every day.

From circumstances, from people, from ourselves.

I'm still learning and will continue learning.

One Can Only Dream

At times, we can't help but dream.

We aspire to be part of something that we believe is extraordinary or will be, one day.

We get so fired up.

Day after day, the ambition becomes more prominent to us.

We become more alert on any tiniest details of it.

Psychologically, the recurrence begins to toy with our head that it is probably a sign. Or secretly, we hope so.

But after long silence, we start to think that maybe it's merely a dream.

One can only dream. It's fate who decides.

Lucky Number 3

3 brings a lot of significance.

:)

Importance of Striving

Here's something worth reading. Hope I'll be able to share this with my kids one day.

I wish I had done better but as the wise man would say :

'Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures. These people succeeded because they understand that you can't let your failures define you — you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.'

'And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you — don't ever give up on yourself.'

'Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up. No one's written your destiny for you.'

Take Time To Think

Don't just take on whatever that is offered out of escapism.

Weigh out all the options.

Match it out with personal aim.

If they are in line with one another, then, take on the offer.

Otherwise, just wait for better opportunities.

The wait could take a while, but hopefully, something good will come out of it. :)

That's How Life Goes

We cross paths with many people in our lives.

Many of which, develop into friendships.

And soon, blossom into sharing cherishable moments together. They may be silly, mundane, meaningless at that time.

As time goes by, some friendships (or sometimes most) fall apart.

Distance, circumstances separate us.

Then, we realise we miss those sweet memories we had. Those silly, mundane, meaningless things turned out to be fun, enjoyable and so meaningful few years down the road!

Those moments don't seem to recur anymore. Even the friendships we have with those we had those cherishable moments seem void. There's nothing in common anymore to share. And the gap gets bigger.

And we want things to be the same again. We try to patch things up.

But, we realise nothing could be fixed anymore. Those moments were just then. Life has revolved. Things could never be the same.

That's how life goes.

P/S : The least we could do, is to appreciate we had that opportunity to experience those enjoyable moments we had with those people. And be glad we crossed path with such person! :)

Calling or Psychological?

It's strange how sometimes when we tend to take notice of something when our mind is actually wandering around with the idea.

For instance, a scenario that happened this morning :

(NOTE : I've always liked things to do with water. Be it swimming, watersports, rowing, etc).

Last night, I was just thinking about how would I like my ideal life to be.

(Hehehe. A girl just can't stop wandering her mind off or day-dreaming once in a while).

So, as I was reading the newspaper today, there was an article about Pulau Sipadan.

And as I flipped the pages, there was another article about cruising around Ireland.

Hmmm..and I wonder to myself, maybe it's a calling or a sign?

When it could actually be plain psychological.

Hehe. Things we put in our head sometimes. :P

Nevertheless, I do want to go to Sipadan someday. :)
