Overwhelming or is it just love?

Mei | Love & Family Stories | Monday, October 31st, 2005

Note: The following are some of the personals experiences and observations that I’ve made of many couples (and former couples). They do not, in any way, represent a single person or a group of people.

When is it love? When is it overwhelming? When do our actions, words, demands and emotions become too much for our partners to bear? When and where do we draw the line between being lovingly affectionate and just darn ole’ suffocating? When is it being trusting and when is it being taken for a ride? When is it being demanding and when is it being a doormat?

Travel plans…

Mei | Travelogue | Thursday, October 27th, 2005

I missed out on the trip to Zhangjiejie this November. Nil’s going without me but with a collegue, who happens to be a friend of ours. (He was the one who got us together.) Time just didn’t permit for me to take another two days of unpaid leave just to go to China. Besides, I just started work la.

However, with my team leader’s approval, Nil and I went ahead with our plans for Christmas and got ourselves pretty nifty bargains on the recent Matta fair.

I AM GOING TO PARIS and LYON, guys!

And it’s a big thing for me too. Because for the first time in my entire life, I’m going to Europe on my own expenses! No more parents forking out cash for the tour and etc. We’ll be flying with Emirates Airline and landing in Paris on 22 December. From there, we’ll head on to Lyon - his home - and spend most of our ‘vacation’ there. I’ll be back on 2 January 2006 and work starts the very next day. It is a short trip but honestly, who cares????

Oh yeah, I’ll be spending Christmas and New Year with his family and friends. It’s so nerve-wrecking yet exciting. Because…and I just found out yesterday…

We’ll be making a stop at Geneva too.

So make that Paris, Lyon AND Geneva.

*squeeellsss*

Haven’t announced to my parents yet but I’m so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

\:D/


WTF.

Mei | Life | Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

Can someone tell me how the hell did this happen? How people ended up disgracing themselves over a BLOG post? How people ended up in a perfect example of “pot calling the kettle black”?

This was NOT my idea of educating people.

Shameless. Just shameless.

Not to mention embarassing too.


Palm PDA anyone?

Mei | Life | Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

ME ME ME! Voila!

I like to think of this as my belated birthday present although I suspect Nil is going to throw a fit when he hears about it…or maybe not. The Bejewelled in it could be used to bribe him into not getting upset. *kekekeke*

Is honesty really the best policy?

Mei | Love & Family Stories | Monday, October 24th, 2005

Over Light & Easy this morning, a man related his story of how he told his wife before they were married everything under the sun about his previous relationships. He wanted to start with a clean, fresh slate. The Mrs was alright with it but the man begin to notice some things. For example, after a night ‘date’ with his buddies, he gets interogated with all sorts of questions and so forth. The man feels that he made a huge mistake in revealing all to his wife, therefore turning his past into a weapon to incite guilt and etc.

The question asked was should people tell everything to their partners when it comes to talking about past relationships. Is honesty really the best policy?

Pride.

Mei | Thoughts | Friday, October 21st, 2005

There is nothing wrong with being confident. There is nothing wrong with feeling good about yourself and what you do. After all, people do need pride, according to Maslow, that is. Pride in ourselves is the one thing that helps us gain self-esteem and achieve many things out there which others may think to be impossible. It is what drives dreams and ambitions. Too little of it and people suffer from insecurity and self-esteem problems which could lead to a whole lot of other things like depression, inability to communicate with people and etc.

One angry animal lover…

Mei | Thoughts | Thursday, October 20th, 2005

I nearly chocked on my chee cheong fun and fishball when I saw the headlines in today’s Star newspaper.

Butchered tiger: Man fined RM7,000

At first, I thought that maybe it was just the light playing with my eyes. I read on and boy, oh, boy, I swear my cup was going to break into a million pieces from the way I was holding it.

I GOT PISSED.

Hell, more than pissed.

You’d think that after reading the most stupidest of reports about how an engineer got away with murder by paying RM100 (that seriously took the cake la) and having to put up with a public that is angry over the ill-treatment of animals, people…judges and legislators in particular…would do something about it. I have never ever felt this upset and angry over a newspaper article.
