| I was browsing through and happen to read this blog entry a girl wrote about how head-over-heels in love she is currently. It got me thinking...
It is so easy to confuse love with infatuation.
Love is when two imperfect individuals believe that they are perfect in every way for each other. Love is when you can laugh and tease each other silly and know it is just that, teasing. It is when two individuals understand and trusts each other and not get paranoid over rumours. It is about the support they give to their partners and get in return. It is about doing something out of your way for your partner, and not expecting anything back in return. It is about knowing when to repay your partner for going out of the way for you. It is about going to work, and not have to lose concentration in what you're doing because you're thinking of him all the time. Because you know, at the end of the day, you'd have lotsa time to think of him. It is about acknowledging the smaller things in the relationship, not only the big sacrifices.
It is most importantly about respect and loyalty.
I used to be in a relationship I thought was love. Until of coz, all the signs point to the other direction: Infatuation.
I was needy. I was clingy. And I was damn well insecure. I get paranoid over the smallest things and I get especially upset if I don't get to see him every day.
It gets us nowhere, trust me on this. I took a 'breather' from relationships for about a year. All the time to myself, going out with whoever I want and of coz, the best part would be meeting new people. And that was what I did, I met so many new friends that I cherish so much today. If I were still chasing around for something I knew was never mine at all, I'd never have met these people. And I never would have known what love truly means.
Today, I can go to a party with my boyfriend, hang out with different groups of people and still have lots of fun. We'd 'bump' into each other and we'd sneak a quick kiss or hug or even an 'I Love You' and go separate ways to continue what we were doing before. And by the end of the day, we'd go home and exchange stories about our nights. The fact that we were at the same place doesn't necessarily mean that we have to do everything together. That little kiss/hug/iloveyou can do wonders to your night, more than you'll ever know.
It's amazing what letting go (even if it's just a little bit) can do to your state of mind. Believe me, it'll make you a much happier person. | | |
| At last! Assignments and exams are finally over... feel like I can sleep for the next 3 days, since I didn't for the last 2 days.
Anyway, on Friday (last day of the exam) my classmates, lecturers and myself went out for a little after-exam party at Luna Bar.

| Just the other day, I almost ran over a cat. The cat was of the same color with the tar road. I knew there was something on the road, but didn't think much of it. Until my brother screamed, "Caaaaaaaaaatt!!!!"
The thing was, someone put the cat's head in the styrofoam box which restaurants use to bungkus our food, and then tied it in a red plastic bag. I thought it was just a plastic bag rolling on the road. Luckily I didn't hit it, I wouldn't have lived with myself if I did.
Some people can be so cruel. What did these animals ever do to them?
Batman Begins was good. Well, better than I thought it would be, anyway.
Finals have officially started. Can't wait for it to be over so I can rest and relax and make papier mache masks with my brother. | | |
| Everything's been moving so fast, I no longer know what's real and what's not. You'd think that after all that's happened this year, my 'numbness' would disappear. It's still there. It has become a part of me. A part I can't seem to rid of.
I turn to my studies everytime this feeling get the most of me. I do this out of habit ever since I found out it can take my mind off things. It works, try it.
He's perfect and I love him. Last night, as we were about to leave a party, a round of beautiful fireworks went off. We were on this open field and we were right under the fireworks. Nothing blocked our view. It was beautiful. It was perfect. He's perfect. And I love him. A lot.
I feel lost. Need directions. | | |
| I'm BACK!!! Bangkok was fun spelt with a capital F. This trip really is worth the money, I tell you. I highly recommend it to shopoholics... I went with a half full luggage and back with one which exceeds the baggage limit.
The first 4 days were spent shopping at different markets and complexes such as the Patpong Night Market, MBK Shopping Complex, World Trade Center, Suan Lum Night Bazaar and so on. Come Sunday, we woke up early and head to Chatuchak Weekend Market, which was highly recommended by friends who've been there.
I spent less than RM1k throughout this whole trip. Got myself 2 gorgeous pairs of shoes for the price of less than one average-priced Vincci shoe. And I bought so many pearl necklaces, one was just RM5! Though transportation and food was a tad bit expensive, but at least our shopping wasn't.
We went for a cruise dinner on the Chaopraya River. The cruise was beautiful, looks so royal that we felt we were somebody important just being in it. We could see all the beautiful hotels and the Grand Palace and everything, all lighted up. I'm not being corny, but it was a very romantic moment, even Ali couldn't help himself and be all lovey.
On the 5th day, we went to Safari Park. Believe it or not, but I've never been to one before. I got to feed and play with cub tigers, they were a very hungry and grumpy bunch I tell you. But sooooo cute, they were just irresistable!
The weather there was hot and humid. Very still air. I nearly died of suffocation in the markets (Oh, speaking of which, they actually sell animals in the market!). But overall, it was good. We didn't get to go to the Bed Supper Club (which has beds instead of chairs/couches in the club, like the one the SATC girls went to in one of the episodes) though, but it's alright, this trip was meant to be purely shopping and sight-seeing. I really don't mind going again!
Here are few of my favourite photos from the trip, more than Jakarta's coz we stayed longer here...
