Horrible Wednesday
I had a horrible day yesterday...I woke up about 9am, feeling super uncomfortable, having the urge to vomit... Then, I walked to the bathroom slowly, and in the next moment, I "shang tu xia xie" (vomit and diarrhoea)...So horrible feeling!!

After struggling for an hour or so, I gave up and my mum dragged me to see doctor. The doctor said I was down with food poisoning or stomach flu...Mmm, i ate what my mum cooked last night which meant my mum could have poisoned me!! (My mum gonna killed me for saying this, haha)

So Wednesday became my "lay-in-bed" day. However, my sick day was brightened by the visit of OP. Even though he was tired from work, he still made his way here. Really touched to see him come, although he stayed for only about half an hour, it still made me feel better..

Wednesday was my "detox" day cos the lunch and dinner I ate all came out....Felt super unwell, i hate being sick in this way!!!! :(

P.S. Now i'm feeling better le...hee...lucky it only lasted one day :P

What does it mean to be a lover?

You are a lover when you appreciate the gift that your partner is, and celebrate that gift everyday.

You are a lover when you remember that your partner does not belong to you- he or she is on loan from the universe.

You are a lover when you realise that nothing that happens between you will be insignificant, that everything you say in a relationship has the potential to cause your beloved joy or sorrow, and everything you do will either strengthen your connection or weaken it.

You are a lover when you understand all this, and thus, wake up each morning filled with gratitude that you have another day in which to love and enjoy your partner.

When you have a lover in your life, you are richly blessed. You have been given the gift of another person who has chosen to walk beside you. He or she will share your days and nights, and your burdens.

Your lover offers you an abundance of miracles everyday. He has the power to delight you with his smile. She has the power to banish your loneliness. He has the power to turn the ordinary into the sublime. She is your doorway to heaven here on earth.

P.S. I read this in one of the chapters in "Chicken Soup for the Couple's Soul". Find it to be very true. However, I don't really understand the number 2 sentence..keke..can anyone try to interpret it?

So have you find such lover/ been such a lover?

Oh No!!!
My mum and I were watching TV just now, and suddenly, my TV went blank and made funny noises...My mum thought that the TV program's film was spoilt but later, there was "chao da" (burnt) smell coming from the TV!!!

So scary, immediately, I went to switch off the main switch cos I was really afraid that my TV would explode and disfigure me...haha....It was a natural reaction k cos got burning smell!!!

Knowing me....
I like taking quizzes cos I think it's a fun way of getting to know myself better..Although I know it's not 100% accurate, it's pretty interesting...haha...take life easy!!! :) Here's a few quizzes about me...ho ho ho...

You Are 35% Normal

You sure do march to your own beat...But you're so weird, people wonder if it's a beat at all. You think on a totally different wavelength and it's often a chore to get people to understand you.

Mysteries of Men
Women are mysterious creatures but so are men. Sometimes, women are puzzled about men's certain actions and behaviors. Below are the answers written to some of the queries that we have of men. The answers here are written from a man's perspective and some of them are really funny..haha

Q: Why do men always say such stupid things?

A: We like to. It's actually a whole lot of fun to see our mate frustrated by a few simple (and well-chosen) words.

Q: Why can't men just share their feelings?

A: Do we look like women to you? Why is it so hard to understand that men and women are different? How are we supposed to share how we feel when we have no idea how we feel (and could care less)? Unless we're experiencing some extreme emotion like rage, hatred, or disgust, we have no idea how we feel.

Q: Why can't men just say "I love you?"

A: Men are taught from a tender young age to be self-sufficient. To say that we love you is equivalent to saying that we need you. Most men consider that to be a character fault. It's just not easy to admit to one's own character faults.

Q: What does it mean when men tell you that they prefer women who don't wear a lot of make up?

A: This is our subtle way to tell you that your makeup looks like it was applied by a team of chimpanzees with paint guns. How dare women accuse us men of having no tact?

Q: Why do men lie?

A: We actually prefer not to, but women make us lie. And I quote, "Honey, does this dress make me loof fat?" or "Do you really think that other woman is more attractive than me?" When we tell you the truth like "You need a diet."or that "We prefer going out drinking with our buddies.", you get mad at us. So we tell you what we think you want to hear. All we're simply trying to do is to please you.

Q: Why is it so hard to find a funny, intelligent, nice, sensitive, and single man?

A: The answer is actually quite simple. It all boils down to the law of supply and demand. If women truly wanted men who are funny, intelligent, nice, and sensitive, there would be a much greater supply. However, since women are actually more attracted to material wealth, muscular mass, or men who mistreat them, this explains the abundant supply of men who are workaholics, muscle heads, or total jerks.

Mysteries of Women
There have been many interesting findings between the differences of men and women. I had post about this topic before and just now, I saw a website that explained some mysteries of men and women...I will post the mysteries of women first in this section...Guys, you may find some actions of us, women strange, maybe you can find some of the answers below..hehe

Q: Why do women always go to the bathroom in pairs?

A: This bonding ritual allows us to compare notes about the guys we've been talking to. "Women hit the bathroom in pairs to chat about their dates and strategize the rest of the evening," says Donna Spangler, author of How to Get a Rich Man: The Princess Formula.

Q: Why do women expect you to pay the check even if they make more money than you?

A: Blame history, baby. "The traditional exchange between the sexes, for thousands of years, is that men offer money, protection and status to women, and in return women offer beauty, sex, and offspring," explains BJ Gallagher, author of Everything I Need to Know I Learned From Other Women.

Q: Why do women ask, "Do I look fat in this?"

A: No, it's not because we want an honest answer about how we should lay off the sweets a bit. More likely we're just fishing for a compliment. In other words, the only correct answer to this is some form of "No way, you look great!"

Q: Why do women always ask if you think other women are attractive?

A: If we inquire about the hot factor of some other chick, we're basically feeling one of two ways. Either very secure and just curious about what turns you on, or very insecure and in need of reassurance. Women are just as competitive as men. We're always assessing how we measure up, because we're concerned about keeping the man we have. The correct answer is always "not as attractive/beautiful/fit etc, my dear!" Better yet, "Why would I look at another woman when I'm here with you?"

So how about men?? Stay tune!! hee....

Weird things going on in 2006....
Year 2006 is coming to an end and I stumbled upon a website that summed up all the weird and crazy things that have happened for this year...Here's are some that I find truely amazing...Enjoy!! :)

• Ziggy Stardust, an indiscreet parrot in England, blew the cover on its mistress's love affair by repeating her amorous exchanges in front of her companion. The latter, named Chris, realised something was up when the bird started squawking "Gary, I love you."
  
  
• Police thought they were onto a terrible crime when a woman's skeleton turned up in the sea off western France with a gash in the skull. Carbon dating later revealed that it was in fact over 500 years old.
  
  
• A Frenchman who had braved lawsuits to deep freeze his dead parents' bodies gave up when his freezer system broke down. He had hoped to one day bring them back to life thanks to medical progress.
  
  
• Small fish rained down on a village in southern India. A scientist said they were probably picked up by a waterspout or mini-tornado out at sea.
  
  
• Drinkers had to be evacuated from a Welsh pub when somebody realised that a tubular object that the landlord's wife had long used as a rolling-pin was in fact a World War II bomb shell.
  
  

Family Day
Yesterday, my sister made a comment...

My sister: "My friend would go out with her family every Sunday. Why can't we have such a family day, just like in the past?"

My mum: "It's rather impossible. All of you have grown up and we are both working."

Still remembered when we were young and when my mum was a full-time housewife, we would go out together almost every Sunday to various places. My mum would always cook lunch at home and packed them in boxes, so that we would not have to eat the expensive food at the tourist attractions. So whenever we went to tourists attractions such as the zoo, we would always have a mini picnic.

Looking at the photo album, those photos with the whole family in were usually those of childhood times...Now, as we all grow up, we have our own friends and often wish to go out with our friends. Also, now both my parents are working, one only has Monday off each week while the other only has one thursday off each month.

Think this is a situation that is unavoidable...But I believe that even though there's no family day like in the past, our family still stays strong even though we do not show it in an obvious manner. Hopefully, when my siblings and I start working, my parents can retire and spend more time together :)

Finishing the race...
Today is the Marathon race for OP and I waited anxiously for his call...At about 10.40, he called me and told me he had about 10km left so I headed down to Padang to wait for him at the finishing line.... There was some drizzling and the sky looked gloomy...However, it helped to cool the runners down... (Photos looked a bit unclear due to the dark weather...)

Pre-run
A few hours later, OP will be marching down to Padang for his full Marathon. He has to reach there at 5.30am. Woo....so early! Last year, I didn't go down there to wait for him (pai seh pai seh) but tomorrow, I will be going down and wait for him at the finishing line with a bottle of iced Milo...

It's a challenge for him and also a big worry for me cos he isn't well-trained for the race due to the haze and I could still remember his painful experience last year.

Okie, bad thoughts aside!! All the best!! It will be over in a few hours time :) Run run run.......
