Hiyah! I know its been a long time since i blogged! Had been busy haha those who knows me knows why. ANyway but life has been quite good, getting on well, just very tired coz of work on weekdays as have to wake up very early. Anyway i received this email from a friend, which i thought was very meaningful so i want to share it with you all! Enjoy! :)

What do women want..????

This is very interesting.......(to women)
Please take time to ponder........(to men)

Enjoy the story........

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch
of a neighbouring kingdom.
The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's
youth and ideals.
So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer
a very difficult question.

Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year,
he still had no answer,
he would be put to death. The question was: What do women really
want?

Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man.
And to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query.
But, since it was better than death, He accepted the monarch's
proposition to have an answer by year's end.  

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone; the princess,
the priests, the wise men and even the court jester.  He spoke with
everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.  

Many people advised him to consult the old witch, For only she
would have the answer. But the price
would be high as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for
the exorbitant fees she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to
talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would

 have to agree to her price first.  The old witch wanted to marry
Sir Lancelot, The most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and
Arthur's closest friend!  

Young Arthur was horrified..  She was hunch-backed and hideous,
had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc.  

He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.
He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible
burden.  But Lancelot, having learnt of the proposal, spoke to Arthur.
He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life
and the reservation of the Round Table.  Hence, a wedding was
proclaimed and the witch answered.  

Arthur's question thus: 'What a woman really wants?'

She said, '*Is to be in charge of her own life.*'

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered
a great truth.
And that Arthur's life would be spared.  And so it was.

The neighbouring monarch granted Arthur his freedom.  
And Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.  

The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for
a horrific experience, entered the bedroom.  But, what a sight
awaited him.
The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the
bed.  

The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened.  The beauty
replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared
as a witch, she would henceforth be her horrible and deformed

 self only half the time.  

And a beautiful maiden the other half.

'Which would you prefer? She asked him.. 'Beautiful during the
day .... or at night?'  

Lancelot pondered the predicament.  
During the day he could have a beautiful woman to show off to
his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch!
Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but
by night a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous, intimate
moments with?

NOW,

(If you are a *man* reading this...)   *What would YOUR choice be?*

(If you are a *woman* reading this)  *What would YOUR MAN'S choice be?*

What Lancelot chose, is given below:

BUT... make YOUR choice before you scroll down ... OKAY?

ê
ê
ê
ê
ê
ê
ê
ê
ê
ê

Noble Lancelot, knowing the answer the witch gave Arthur to his
question, said that he would allow *HER* to make the choice herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the
time.  

Because, he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her
own life.  


*Now.... what is the moral to this story?*
ê
ê
ê
ê
ê
ê
ê
ê

*The moral is...

1) *There is a witch in every woman no matter how beautiful she is!*

2) *If you don't let a woman have her own way, things are going to
     get ugly.*

So, always remember:

*IT'S EITHER 'HER WAY' OR IT'S 'NO WAY' !!!*  
TAKE THE HIGHWAY.......

Feelings...................................

  • Jun 10, 2008
  • Post a comment

For some, they may feel that heaven is not being fair to them. But to me? I feel that heaven is fair. For instance, heaven may give you looks, but you may not be talented for instance you may not have a nice voice to sing. For some, their voices are so good and so nice that they should be in some concert or be a singer! But yet, they may look average or lesser than that. Then there are those who are very fortunate to have both looks and both voice for instance, Daniel Chan. But i am sure that he may have some other flaws which we cannot see. Thats why i say heaven is fair. Some may have looks, figure, voice and almost everything but then maybe their life isnt so good or smooth sailing. Some may not be blessed with looks, but then have a good voice and have a wonderful character and their love life is ever smooth sailing.

Some may say that it is better to have love than lost than never. Well, i do agree to some point. I used to think that once you devote yourself fully to a relationship, there will surely be fruitful results. It works for results, for things that you strive hard but for love or relationships, it doesnt work that way. I believe it is fate. Sometimes even if you put in all your best, but the person just dont love you or maybe suddenly had a change of heart, or maybe just leave you for other reasons. It takes time to understand and accept this fact. But the most saddening news is not breaking up with your loved ones, it is one where you have to be apart from your loved ones in heaven and earth. That is the most saddening thing to hear. Breaking up is already hurting enough, but it is nothing compared to life and death separation and i am talking about love relationship. I can imagine how hurt the person must have felt and how noone can ever replace the place in his heart. But facts are facts, i do not like to admit it but we have to face the fact and accept the fact. We are only human being and we cant do anything for this type of things. We cant control what will happen or may not happen to us.

There is this saying that "It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to apprecitate them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them" It is true for me. I totally agree with this statement. I believe that noone can ever forget the memories whom they have had with a special someone. The feelings can be forgotten, but the memories will always be there. It may be buried and uncovered, but it will never be forgotten. And that is the reason why sometimes i thought that if i could get brain washed and forget everything, how good that will be. But sometimes i thought i will definetly not do that, because at least we had been together once even though we cant be together forever. Contradicting right? Ya but really arent you? Memories shared with that special person contains of not only happiness, but also painful memories. How good that will be if only the painful memories can be taken away. But no, it is not possible at all in this world. I have to agree that life is unpredictable and you will never know what will happen tomorrow or the next day, much less months or even years.

All those in a relationship before knows that it is not easy to forget a person. For some, it may take weeks, months or even years depending on how much feeling you have for the person. Sometimes, just when you thought you have forgotten, places that you both went to before, songs that you both sang before or even things that was a gift from the other party, or when you are alone at night, triggers your memories of that person and all the memories and feelings came flashing back again. But you wake up to reality and console yourself that the person is no longer with you and that you should not think of that person anymore. You may think, how hard can it be right?  But seriously, it is not easy especially when you have put in all your feelings. It is simply not easy at all..................

They say that human beings are forgetful people and you will forget things once you do not mention or hear of them again just like gossip magazines. But is it true? We can forget what happen to those actress and actors simply because it is totally none of our business, but when it comes to things that are related to yourself, can you forget? I doubt so, especially one that made you very memorable. You wouldnt forget, for me i wouldnt. SUch things will always be engraved in our mind. Just like the day i woke the Best progress award in secondary school. HOw long was that? I think about 10 years ago! But i can still remember the scene clearly in my mind! Thats how powerful our mind is! You will never forget, it just stays hidden and buried waiting for it to be uncovered. 

Does cutting off all contacts really helps in forgetting a person? I dont know about you all, but for me, it doesnt work this way. Cutting off all contacts just makes me wonder even more, it makes me wonder why is there a need for this, it makes me wonder the reason behind all this and the more i wonder, the harder it is for me to forget. Because i dont have an answer and perhaps i will never get an answer for this lifetime but it leaves a deep impression in my mind, which makes me even more harder to forget. Seriously, is there a need for this????  

This song below suits my feelings a lot.

 

陳小春 - 獨家記憶 MV

独家记亿

忘记分开后的第几天起,喜欢一个人,看下大雨,

没连络,孤单就像连锁反应,想要快乐都没力气。

雷雨世界像场灾难电影,让现在的我,可怜到底。

对不起,谁也没有时光机器,已经结束的,没有商量的余地。

 

Chorus

我希望你,是我独家的记忆,摆在心底,不管别人说得多么难听,

现在我拥有的事情是你,是给我一半的爱情。

我喜欢你,是我独家的记忆,谁也不行从我这个身体中拿走你,

在我感情的封锁区,有关于你,绝口不提,没问题。

 

雷雨世界像场灾难电影,让现在的我,可怜到底。

对不起,谁也没有时光机器,已经结束的,没有商量的余地。

 

Chorus

我希望你,是我独家的记忆,摆在心底,不管别人说得多么难听,

现在我拥有的事情是你,是给我一半的爱情。

我喜欢你,是我独家的记忆,谁也不行从我这个身体中拿走你,

在我感情的封锁区,有关于你,绝口不提,没关系。

我希望你,是我独家的记忆,摆在心底,不管别人说得多么难听,

现在我拥有的事情是你,是给我一半的爱情。

我喜欢你,是我独家的记忆,谁也不行从我这个身体中拿走你,

在我感情的封锁区,有关于你,绝口不提,没限期。

Met up with Monica to the temple to pray and then went to HSA at outram to donate our blood. As this is my first time donating, i feel a bit nervous. They actually drew out a packet of blood from me haha. But it was not painful at all, just a bit when they inject the antiseptic but after that no pain. The nurse there told me that i will get bruise black as my skin is quite thin. So she gave me iron tablets and a medication for my bruise black. After that they gave us a coupon each to exchange for refreshements. They bandaged us with a very nice and cute bandage. We had a cup of milo, cake and green bean soup to replenish our energy. And our iron tablets is to last for two weeks to replenish the loss of blood.

Met up with Keith, Leon and Adeline at orchard mrt station after that and we had our dinner at takashimaya food court. Went to cruise around after that and played a few games of pool Took photos in there as well haha as usual and as expected right?

I am who i am because of you!

Hi, recently i have been enjoying life! Feel very happy because firstly it is school holidays for me, secondly, i have a good gang of friends and family and lastly, i have finally let go of my past!

Thinking back.........

About a month ago, i faced the three biggest ordeal of my life. Had a brokeup with my boyfriend of 2 years, my family member was in icu and in critical condition and may go anytime, i also had lots of assignments and exams coming up. But i was lucky that i have a good gang of friends and lecturers who went the extra mile for me. I was running to hospital, home and school. These were the three places that i frequent for almost two months. My friends were so nice, they came almost everyday to coach me in my work and also to encourage me, console me and support me. My lecturers and tutors were very understanding as well to extend my deadline for me so that i can hand up the assignments. I really cant imagine surviving all these without them. THen through this ordeal, i also came to know the reality side of people and know who are my true friends and who really go all the way to help me and not just empty talk. Through this incident, i realized that i can be strong as well. All these while, i thought i was quite a weak person, but when things like this strike, my friends saw that i can be strong too, even i realized it myself only after this incident.

Last time i thought that the more friends i have the better, but then i realize that the amount of friends that i have doesnt matter, even if i have a few friends, but they are the best then it is better than having many friends but not a single one who really cares and go the extra way for you. I feel very blessed and fortunate to have all these friends whom i had got to konw not more than a year! But they go the extra mile for me when i was down! I feel so touched having them! And i am going to show their photos below! They are friends that i will never want to give up in my life! They are my bestest friends!

Gary, a very good friend whom i had known for a long time! A guy who is a good listener and helps out whenever he can!

These are all the priority friends that i have but of course there are others who are very nice and help me out with lots of things! I appreciate that too! I feel very fortunate and feel very happy everyday. Recently a lot of disasters happen. I feel happy that i can wake up everyday and breathe in the air, it is fortunate to be alive and secondly, i feel happy seeing my family members alive and kicking cause of the near death separation so waking up and seeing him makes me feel happy that he is still in our family and thats why makes it complete. Thirdly, i am happy because i have many good friends who treats me sincerely, helps me whenever i need help and goes all the way for me. And lastly, i have finally let go of my past relationship and it feels like a load off my weight. I feel so relieved now and i look forward to everyday! I have passed the most difficult hurdles in my life and i believe nothing ever will be harder than what i had just been through! So i look forward to the future! Of course, i believe that i will find the one who is destined to be with me and it will be an added bonus to my life! Fate will have a say in that haha, i am just leaving things to fate, which i am sure that it will bring him to me! Right now, i am going to relax and enjoy the happiest moment in my life! I am going to treasure each day like the last day as nothing is absolute and we know not what will happen tomorrow! So cherish and treasure the person close to you! :)
