From my March 2007 copy of FEMALE magazine.
One of the things I have started to do is to AVOID TOXIC FRIENDS. I’ve got too many of those who have the tendency to put me down all the time, without an inch of moral support. Stupidly, I kept the friendship going just because we’ve been friends for so long, so, what the heck. However, for the past few years some of these friends haven’t been nice and supportive, so I might as well let them go. Don’t need friends like them who constantly put me down and wanting to compete with me even over the slightest things!
Another is to LET GO OF EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE. ;D Tacky as it sounds, if you’ve read some of the posts I ranted about my mad ex-boyfriend, I guess it is time for me to chuck me out of my life – he as bad karma. I honestly don’t want him in my life at all, not because of being bitter, but he serves no purpose. I guess I should stop hating him, too, and feel pity instead and move on.
Yup, it’s time to spring clean the list of friends, nasty as it sounds!
And that leaves me with ……………………..
…. just 3 friends.
Just kidding!
Have you been spring cleaning, too?

I don’t know if this is true, but I received it in my mailbox and w00t, I don’t know which one I wish I am!

Remember when I asked you if I should ask my Crush out for Valentine’s Day? *giggles uncontrollably*
Well, GUESS WHAT?
Apparently he was eyeing me for a while, and didn’t have the nerve to ask me out! Can you guess how he told me? He sent a bouquet of roses the first thing in the morning, with a card that said, “Happy Valentine’s Day. From your secret admirer.”
The second bouquet of roses came just before lunch hour and with a card that said,”I’ve been meaning to ask you out, but the distance between us makes it difficult. From XYZ. P/S: The first bouquet was from me. I hope you liked it. :)”
GOSH. I almost fainted on the spot! My Crush ….. was he playing a prank on me? But I sent him a text message, and thanked him for the bouquets. I said it was a VERY huge surprise for me!
He didn’t reply.
I wanted to call him, but decided to wait until it was after office hours.
Just before the day ended at around 5pm, a third bouquet came with a card that said, “Will you go out with me? From XYZ.”
I REALLY WANTED TO FAINT!
Too good to be true, you’d have said, if you had been there!!
And my phone rang. It was XYZ, my Crush! ;D
I smiled from ear to ear the entire day, til the weekend came, because he only came up to KL and we had lunch, just before I left to return to my hometown for the Chinese New Year break!
The second date has already happened. ;D

Got this in the mail today, and couldn’t find the answers, except for Blur.
There are 74 artistes in the picture – groups/singers/bands.
Can you find them?

Some time ago, my friends and I were discussing this topic. I was of the view that should a guy plan to propose to his girlfriend, he should actually discuss it with the girl’s parents first as a sign of respect, before proposing to his girlfriend. Some of my friends were of a different view, saying that an engagement and marriage is an affair between only the two of them.
I argued that it would be embarrassing if you proposed to your girlfriend and then come across objections from her parents. Surely you need to get their permission first and to see whether they are prepared to marry their daughter off?
Don’t forget that once you’re married, it brings two families together as well, so it is not entirely an affair for just the couple.
What do you think? Propose to the girlfriend first and then the both of you see her parents and surprise them, or you speak to her parents first before popping the question with the girlfriend?

Leftover pork knuckles.
It’s back to work for most of us, and the workload piled up before the Chinese New Year break, didn’t it?
My trip back to my hometown was short but it was pretty good. I managed to catch up with my immediate family as well as my extended ones. I don’t know about you, but during the Chinese New Year, it is the best time to meet up with your uncles and aunts and cousins, and a time to gamble!
The angpow (red packet) collection this year is equally as dismal as last year’s. I thought I could up my collection by playing black jack with my cousins but the opposite took effect instead. Shit. Is the Year of the Pig a bad one for me, or what??
The aftermath of a good holiday is always the excessive load of work and more work.
Oh, and putting on 10kg of fats on my body. Kinda gross. So don’t imagine. ;D The picture of the leftover pork knuckles serves as a reminder of just how much I ate!
I hope you’re not suffering the same fate as I am. ;D
So, did you miss me? ;P

Happy Chinese New Year! 😉 Gong Xi Fatt Choy to all!

Happy Valentine’s Day to all, that’s yesterday’s greeting! ;P
I came across some very old valentine cards I received when I was younger. It was pretty funny, looking at the boyish scrawls and reading declarations of love and forever – all that written about 10 years ago!
There was a card from a boy who wrote a long poem about liking my hair, my eyes, my smile, my laugh, my walk, my bum ….. gosh, all that at the age of 14?! It was pretty funny. 😉
What happened next was, he called me in the afternoon, and if i can recall the part of the conversation went like this:

boy: You liked my card?
me: (acted cool) It’s ok.
boy: Did you receive others?
me: Yes. A few more. Flowers, too.
boy: Oh. Ok. I just wanted to tell you ………. (paused a while) …….
me: What?
boy: I don’t know how to say it, but maybe I can spell it out for you.
me: (exaggerated sigh) Ok. What is it?
boy: W-U-D …….. Y-E-W ………
me: (scribbled down the letters on a piece of paper, thinking, “Aiyo.”)
boy: (continued) …. B-E-E ….. M-A-I …. have you got it so far?
me: I guess so.
boy: ……. G-U-R-L ….. ok. Tell me your answer later, I will call you back. (Hung up the phone.)

;D
Back in the school days, Valentine’s Day gave boys the courage to ask the girls they like to be their girlfriends. Haha! Thinking back, those were the innocent days. As working adults now, sometimes it can be as indirect as this:

guy: So … (nudges girl sitting beside him)
girl: Yes? What?
guy: Are we going out ah? Since you agreed to have dinner with me tonight?
girl: Eh, can you ask properly or not?
guy: Don’t want la. So old fashioned meh …. Have to ask properly!
girl: -__-

;D

I used to tell myself that I would never date a guy who’s always surrounded by his good friends who are girls. I don’t know, the thought of it makes me uncomfortable – bordering jealousy, perhaps.
Ironically, I have a lot of good friends who are guys and ….. I’m sure their girlfriends don’t like the fact that the group of us hang out frequently!
In the past, their ex-girlfriends have had issues with me being their good friend that when they broke up, I was accused of being the “other” woman. Geez, I used to hate that, because it was never true.
One of the solutions to this problem, is to have everyone hang out together occasionally, so that the girlfriend can see for herself that the friendship is a harmless one, merely based on a long-term friendship and common interests. For example, If the girlfriend is not interested in watching football but the boyfriend is, as well as his good friends, who are girls, there is no harm letting them hang out together, is there?
Wait, let me think.
Hmmm.
No, I think it should be a mixed group. *jealousy brewing*
;D
That’s just my opinion, anyway.
Are there any other solutions?

Chinese New Year is the only time I see most of my relatives and my grandmother. It also makes me think of my grandmother a lot. Last year, she had a stroke which put everyone in a state of panic. Since then, she seems rather frail and weak.
She used to be so lively and energetic, she ate well whenever she stayed with my family and I. But since the stroke, she hasn’t been herself and lately, I have been thinking whether my relatives have been ill-treating her. She stays with my relatives.
She claims that she doesn’t eat much anymore and has lost interest in her favourite food, saying that she’s too lazy to even peel an apple! We’ve asked her if she eats her favourite food or fruits regularly, but she says that it’s difficult to get them cheap and my relatives can’t seem to buy them for her.
But when she visits my family, we notice she eats well and walks around without help. Should any of my aunt or uncle be around, she suddenly needs help while walking even across the room!
Sigh.
Faking weakness.
We think that my aunt and uncle who she stays with don’t bother making sure that my grandmother is eating well. They seem more concerned about buying 4-D numbers and making money. They even grumble when they have to bring my grandmother for her medical check-ups!
As the years grow older, I realise I tend to be more emotional. I tear up when I see my grandma who used to have such glowing health reflected on a face, now haggard and old.
Also, I wish I could tell my aunt and uncle to feed my grandmother! But you have to respect your elders, don’t you?
So I keep quiet and try to feed my grandmother with her favourite food when I visit.
p.s. I also suspect that my aunt and uncle are not willing to spend money on food for my grandmother! It’s not about shark’s fin soup or abalone and scallops!
