Safely arrived
2007-07-25 19:50:00 Hey everyone, I´ve finally arrived in Barcelona early yesterday morning, after a really rough 12.5 hour flight. With all the connecting flights, the entire journey totalled more than 20 hours. So, I´ve been recuperating; but, extremely over the moon to finally be back in my baby´s arm, again. The weather here is very sunny, with the sun surrendering at around 9 pm. So, I´m still trying to get used to this big time difference. I´m just absolutely happy to finally be back where I belong, in his arms. It doesn´t even feel like I´ve been away for more than 3 months. Things still look the same. I miss the bed and the now dead roses he bought me before! Well, he bought me a new, fresh bunch of gorgeous red roses yesterday. It was so sweet! Anyway, my long flight was quite rough. The turbulence was almost unbearable. I was actually very scared and sought solace in prayer. Thank god, I managed to get some much needed sleep in the plane. The foo...
I'm off yet again
2007-07-23 03:55:00 Well, in just under an hour, I'll be off to the airport to check-in and catch my plane to Singapore, where I will catch yet another plane to Amsterdam, and then finally to Barcelona! Woo! I can't wait to be cuddling in his arms again. I checked in online, but I can't print the boarding passes. So, what's the point? It says that I can print the confirmation, but my stupid printer won't bloody let me!Anyways, yesterday I had a killer migraine. It felt like my head was about to erupt and my eyes were going to burst out of my eye sockets. I could barely feel my neck. It was horrible. I vomited every bit of food I ate yesterday. That's how bad my migraine was. So, I've been taking aspirin that can be dissolved in liquid, only because it's the only type of pain relief available in our fridge. I'd much prefer to take tablets! I hope I'll be OK for my 20+ hour flight.So, I'll see you guys on the other side of the world, which is 8.5 hours behind my time here =S I still have inter...
As I jump off the building
2007-07-19 01:08:00 To this point of my life, the journey hasn't been overwhelmingly difficult. I am blessed with the most beautiful family, fiance and friends. They are the core of my happiness, and I am full of gratitude to them. I have also learnt to trust that I am being cared for by a universal support system, and have gained tremendous faith in knowing that my needs continue to be met in life.Although I have starred in my own soap opera, I consider myself lucky, after hearing of other people's life situations. My heart goes out to my cousin and her two children, especially. I am angry towards my estranged cousin-in-law for the cruel deception and denial. I cannot acclimate to this sort of thing, at this time. I have nothing against homosexuals and will not go as low as describing them 'evil.' I believe that I am too educated. However, I just find it difficult to morally understand homosexuality. Only a handful of people in the family know about it for the protection of the children; but, they...

A revelation
2007-07-14 09:22:00 I think that I've mastered the skill of purposely pushing people away, and then expect them to chase me, afterwards. I don't know why; but, somewhere deep within me, I believe that my fiance deserves better than me; and so, in retaliation, I intentionally do things to brush him off. I am not totally sure as to why I hold this absurd belief, after all that he has selflessly, sincerely and faithfully demonstrated to me- I guess, subconsciously, I am still healing from the hurt and anger that I had experienced in a past relationship. I hate to admit that, at this point in my life, I am still caught somewhere in the process of understanding myself.Despite of all the glorious things with what life has blessed me in the past 2.5 years, I still don't think that I deserve to be the luckiest girl in the universe to have his love; I believe that there is a more worthy woman who is more capable of loving him and who can satisfy his needs, emotionally, physically, sexually or spiritually.

This purpose
2007-07-09 00:50:00 When I first started writing this blog, I really did not intend to reach out to a specific audience, nor did I expect anyone to even read the incoherent ramblings that my mind had planted in this intricate world of cyberspace. I created this blog merely as a way for me to liberate my mind and release stress and tension, without fearing judgment from those who were personally known to me since they did not, and still do not, know about it.I remember, upon the birth of this blog almost two years ago, that I had experienced depression. I succumbed to believing that my life was very routine and unproductive, and felt lost in a blurred existence. I sought solace in poetry, which, subsequently, became my only entries. After that psychological relapse, I managed to regain my inner strength steadily through motivational quotes, and, regrettably, abandoned this blog. You may have vaguely noticed that I like to insert a few quotes here and there. This is because I feel good about sharing them... More About: Purpose , Pose
The things we do for love
2007-07-07 22:03:00 Hey, everybody! I just realised that today is the 07/07/07, and 7 is my favourite number. Anyways, you might have already noticed my brand new ticker above. Yep! I'm off to see him again in 17 days! Yeehah! *does an awkward cowboy kick* All is confirmed. This also means that I'll be studying externally again (as in overseas!) this semester for 3 weeks; but, I know that I can do it, because I did the same thing last semester and achieved exceptional grades.There had been considerable thought lately on whether or not I should travel, with the financial aspects being seriously considered. But, the longing is too great. We are going crazy; I've been a bit depressed and he's extremely fed up with all the drama at work. We just need each other, after almost 3 months apart. We both realise that we can not have a love affair with our mobile phones and computers. We just have to save harder afterwards, and trust firmly that everything will work out.I guess, this post is reflective of my ... More About: Love , Things , Thing
Chapter 5: Taking a risk
2007-07-06 02:30:00 They say that love is invaluable. Indeed. You cannot pay someone to genuinely fall in love with you, nor can you just wish upon a falling star for your knight in shining armour to come and whisk you away into the glorious sunset on his emaculate white horse. Shakespeare had once simply, yet, eloquently articulated that, "the course of true love never did run smooth." Surely, it involves great personal struggle; however, in the end, it is absolutely worth it. Love, like money, is something that is fought and earned; but, unlike money, its impact is felt by the soul.In life, we must learn to rely upon ourselves for fulfillment, attention, interest and consideration. In working towards wholeness and happiness, we must expand our expectations, embrace commitment and be willing to sacrifice in order to cross our emotional boundaries. We are responsible for our decisions, and take only what we can handle, based upon that which we value. I have been involved in a very serious long-distance...

My passion for poetry
2007-07-03 02:09:00 I have always had a passion for poetry. I love reading and writing poems about love, philosophy, despair, hope and nature. I've written many poems over the years, and hope to publish a collection, someday. Come to think of it, I should have studied literature. Oh well =(One of my all-time favourite poet is Lord Alfred Tennyson. I'm an ardent admirer of his work; and can only dream of emulating his talent. Here is one of my favourite piece from his collection, entitled, Cradle Song. It actually makes me sleepy. =)Cradle SongLord Alfred Tennyson(1809 - 1892)What does little baby say,In her bed at peep of day?Baby says, like little birdie,Let me rise and fly away.Baby, sleep a little longer,Till your little limbs are stronger.If she sleeps a little longer,Baby, too, shall fly away.And since I'm such a fan, I'll share an extract from another one of his poem, entitled, The Princess. This piece is actually very, very long with such a beautiful flow to it. An extract from The Princess,... More About: Poetry , Passion , Poet , Passi
Bridging the distance
2007-07-02 01:33:00 Hi again, everyone.In this special post, I will share with you some helpful and comforting advice on beating the blues while in a long-distance relationship (LDR). I, myself, have been involved in a LDR for almost 3 years, and am all too familiar with the agony, bitter frustration, and lonely nights which, I know, can lead to depression. Hopefully, my LDR will soon come to an end, with the grant of our fiance visa. *fingers and toes crossed* It can certainly feel like a daunting and endless journey; but, it's stimulating and exciting to focus on that priceless reward in the end. 1. CommunicationTo the best of your ability, try to maintain daily contact. Be it via telephone, letters, email or instant messaging, I cannot stress further that solid communication is the most fundamental element in any successful and enduring relationship. However, since words are our only source of strength, hope and inspiration, communication must be honest, open and more consistent. Communication and ... More About: The D
On a personal note: I just wanted to share
2007-06-30 02:40:00 I just wanted to share my excitement with everyone! I logged in the university website last night, and was thrilled to learn that my semester average is a distinction! Woo! So, now you know why I'm feeling 'intelligent.' heheI can't believe it! I mean, considering that I'm an external student this semester, since I spent 1 month in Spain earlier this year to be with my fiance. I was touring and studying at the same time. It was ambitious; but, I managed quite well in the end. It was also crazy, because my placement commenced the morning after I got back, which was after an 18 hour flight from Barcelona - Amsterdam - Singapore - Australia. Needless to say, I was a zombie when I rocked up on the first day of placement!Anyway, I have been missing him like crazy. If you look at the ticker above, it has been 2 and a half months since that brief goodbye at the airport. I managed to remain composed, until he messaged me when I was waiting lonesomely in the departure lounge. It has cer... More About: Personal , Note , Share , Wanted , Persona
Chapter 4: In pursuit of happiness
2007-06-27 22:13:00 On this journey of life, we are all in an endless pursuit of success. Be it in love, financial wealth or having material things, we are always striving for comfort and lasting happiness. I see life as simple. I prefer to be comforted by calmness and serenity, instead of all the extravagance that life can bring. Material comforts are convenient, but are temporary and superficial. A nice, big house for sale by the beach can not guarantee a happy home. I have always dreamt of a love as depicted in Walt Disney movies. I want my own Aladdin who would whisk me away on a thrilling magic carpet ride. One might think that I'm a hopeless romantic living in Dreamland. I wouldn't consider myself as such, but I do like to dream. I like being mentally, emotionally and spiritually stimulated in an intimate partnership that reflects my feelings back to me. In my short life, I have only felt loved twice. The first time, I convinced myself that I was in love; but, in retrospect, it was just the fea... More About: Happiness , Chapter , Suit

On a personal note
2007-06-25 03:30:00 Beautiful family, Beautiful friends, Working, Enjoying university life. But the composure won't last. One can only stand for so long. A daily struggle.Just missing himAnd everything about him,Even the morning rays That danced elegantly on his soft cheeks.The frustration and loneliness Hidden beneath a calm exterior. Longing to hold him once again.---There was the vague idea of travelling to see him during my uni break; but, I thought that it would be wiser to keep waiting and save money. Anyway, the other day, I watched Dying Young for the very first time as a featured film on TV. I know it's 16 years old, but it is a romantic classic. This movie illustrates that the healing power of love can unite hearts and, literally, move mountains.Kenny G made me cry with the theme song. It made me even more depressed, actually. That guy in the movie has a strange resemblance to Prison Break's Wentworth Miller. Or, it could be just my eyes being watery. More About: Personal , Note , Persona , Sona

I mean, there is no doubt that, it is the most discussed topic and most explored theme in literature, film, music and art. But why? Well, just as the human brain is the most intelligent computer, love is, arguably, the strongest force. Stronger than gravitational force? Umm, I would say so...What makes love so intriguing is the indomitable power it can have over us. Once we've fallen, that's it. Soon, it will begin to notoriously dictate the daily operation of our lives.There is no denying that, love makes us do the things that we would otherwise not entertain for a second, if we were sane. Nonetheless, I believe that this insightful experience promotes personal, mental, emotional and spiritual growth.The most grand thing I've ever done for love is, jumping on that squashy plane to Thailand from Australia to meet a guy, whom I had been conversing with online, for the first time.

Gunman In Melbourne - 1 dead, 2 critical.
2007-06-18 04:36:00 Eyewitness accounts state that: Photo thanks to news.com.auA man pulled a woman from a taxi on the corner of Williams Street and Flinders Lane, Melbourne early this morning. (He may have been in it, he may not have, I think he was)He pulled her by the hair from the car and an argument continued.Two male passerby's came to the woman's defense.The attacker pulled a semi-automatic handgun from his jacket and shot the woman and the 2 men. Then fled.Police are currently searching Melbourne for a 6' man, black jeans, denim jacket and short brown hair. I believe the rumor that he was seen running down St Kilda Road.Other rumors state that a gun and jacket have been found on a construction site nearby, so he probably is not armed.Another woman was punched in the face after leaving a nightclub just moments before. Was this related? I am sure we will find out in the near future.My two cents: The guy will get caught, he was believed to be known to the woman, if he had been out for the night...

Chapter 2: Lost in imaginings

It's a way that I can liberate my mind and lose all inhibitions. It's quite weird for me to admit that, I live in a world of fantasy. Many people would tell me to get a 'reality check.' A reality check? Hmm. Ironically and strangely enough, a lot of the things that I've fantasised about, became real. I used to listen to Kenny G in the stillness of the night (you know that famous sax player?), close my eyes, and then picture myself on a cruise ship, cruising along a calm river, backdropped by city buildings and neon lights, under a blanket of stars, in the comfort of my lover's arms.Two years ago, I wasn't, at all, convinced that I'd even meet this guy.
