A priceless moment
Tonight I gave thought to something pretty futuristic and incredulous. Let’s say in a couple of years down the marital road, I am blessed with a child of my very own and like any other good parent, I would read him/her a bed time story. As far as I can remember, my mom used to read fairytales to me, so it is of no wonder that I would follow in her footsteps (and not read out loud, articles from Reader’s Digest, which I would forlornly want to guiltily do so, in wanting to raise a prodigy..hehe).
Perhaps then on one particular night, my child would curiously ask : “Mommy, what’s love like?” and how would I craftily answer him/her?
Mom’s answer :
“I have found almost everything written about love to be true…
Shakespeare said, ‘journey’s end in lovers’ meetings’. Ooh… what an extraordinary thought, personally I have not experienced in remote close to that but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I supposed I am constantly amazed by love’s sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was also Shakespeare who says that ‘love is blind’, now that is something I know to be true.
For some…quite inexplicably. Love fades. For others, love is simply lost. But for others, love could also be found if it’s just for the night. And then there’s another kind of love, the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victim. It’s called unrequited love.
Most stories are about those who fall in love with each other, but what about the rest? What about their stories? Those who fall in love alone. They are the victims of the one-sided affair. They are the cursed of the loved ones. They are the unloved ones. The walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a parking space. An individual, who have loved that very man for three miserable years or more. The miserable years of her life, the worst Christmas, the worst birthdays, new year’s eve, brought in by tears and valium. To be in love would have been the darkest days of her life, because she’s been cursed for having loved a man who does not and will not love her back. Just the sight of him, heart-pounding, throat thickening, absolutely can’t swallow.. all the usual symptoms.
But you my child, will find true love like I have. True love is not how you forgive, but how you forget. Not what you see, but what you feel. Not how you listen, but how you understand. And not how you let go, but how you hold on…”

Shai's 22nd Burfday :)
It was really funny how Dee, Talib and I manipulated Shai just in time to surprise him with a birthday cake. It was so totally random, Talib and I abruptly told the two (of couse Dee was already made known to the whole plan) that we had to go off early. After which,we hurriedly (after scamming the whole of Wisma for a cake shop) made our way to Bakerzin (those reading must try their macchiatos too! Awesome!) and ordered a $41 birthday cake. In the midst of waiting for the baker to craft those choclatey words on the cake, I received an SMS from Dee saying that Shai had to go off to work! - poor Dee had to come up with an excuse that her Bro favoured a rat designed pair of boxers, just to get Shai to tag along with her to Zara, while we make our final preparations for the surprise..hee
So in a jiffy, I and Talib made our way to Gloria Jean's Cafe to set the candles and stuff after replying to Dee to start dragging Shai there - of couse she had to make a million other excuses, one of which was truly hilarious..
Oh well Shai..we just hope that you had a fabulously awesome time!
We love YOU! Happy Birthday Bestie...
The most yummilicious, luscious and delectable mouth-watering, strawbering-raspberry cheeze cake from Bakerzin - Wisma Atria Branch...
the cake upclose and personal
elated! + ecstatic! = OVERJOYED SHAI!! 
Watch people! I'm gonna do something stupid!!
...oOohHhh... and we all gasp!
OUcH!...He burnt his tongue...tsk..tsk.. it pays to try to be extra cool ;) [kritikan membina]
The people who made it possible : from bottom left - ME! Talib, Dee n S***
the friendship that is meant to last for an entire lifetime

~compliments of wani :)
#1 If your lover betrayed you, what would your reaction be ?
I’d be FUNIMG MAD! WALK AWAY and NEVER TURN BACK! And .. I’d CURSE THE DAY HE WAS BORN!
#2 If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?
truth is.. right now, I’d love to migrate and live in a cottage in Surrey, England. Have a cup of coffee by the fireplace in a wintry English weather, reading Sophie Kinsella’s Shopaholic trilogy.
#3 What will your dream wedding be like?
#4 Are you confused as to what lies ahead of you?
erm..not exactly..maybe the salary I’d get.
#5 What’s your ideal lover like?
one with THE perfect chemistry! A person who is able to communicate with you, like the whole time (I MEAN IT!), able to share good food, watch stupid movies, love the theatre.. and ultimately.. just makes me feel good about ‘US’ always.
#6 Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
None! To be truly blessed, your significant other must be able to love you as much as you love him. The two of you would not have to compromise on the many sacrifices you make for each other, and you would want to give so much without expecting any returns.
#7 How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love?
Hmm…for as long as it takes.. but at the same time, I’d drop a million hints to his face to shorten the length of time I’d have to wait .. hehe
#8 If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do? Wait for him/her to break up?
Yea.. I would.. especially if I know that he is already in a bad relationship.
#9 Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
not at all! *by the way, the credit goes to BF…
#10 What do you want most in life?
I want to be able to be satisfied in what I have accomplished thus far. Do something more fulfilling. Be a more grateful individual and have peace of mind and emotions always.
#11 Is being tagged fun?
Quite! However wani, I am so sorry for having to do this so late!
#12 How do you see yourself in 10 years' time?
I want to be able to have traveled half of Europe! Open a book café with BF and get a PhD.
#13 Who is currently the most important person to you?
The BF.
#14 What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
a great one! Who thinks of me in her memories and as important enough to be tagged
#15 Would you rather be single & rich or married but poor?
Definitely single and rich!! Let’s be realistic, not many would want to be categorized as a faint, hopeless romantic.
#16 What's the first thing you do every morning?
get my teeth brush and gurgle a capful of Listerine.
#17 Would you give all in a relationship?
yea! If I’m happy and satisfied.. it all boils down to him as a person.
#18 If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
the significant other I can totally be myself with, no secrets and no pent up feelings whatsoever.
#19 What type of friends do you like?
ones who are honest and blatant with you. And definitely those whom you can count on for life.
#20 If you played a prank on someone, & he/she fell for the trick, what would you do?
I’d laugh!
-no obligations .. but if you're reading this piece, do take part for the fun of it. It might help you come to a better understanding of a part of yourself, which you have chosen to ignore ~ for as long as you can remember :)
