18th Month Anniversary!

YEAH! It's our 18th Month Anniversary! 18 months = 1yr 6 mths = 1.5yrs! Maintaining a relationship was never easy. It takes 2 hands to clap and communication can never be a one way traffic. Most couples got into a relationship and started to change. It could be they were trying to be someone they were not but someone they know would attract the person thy love. Or not being able to adapt to the changes that comes into their lives when their status change from single to attached cause their personalities/characters to change. Don't most of us often hear the guy/girl telling that to the gf/bf, "You have changed!", "You don't used to be like that!" and there's so much more. For those of you who have try fixing jigsaw puzzles(I mean those with @ least 500 small pieces types; not the big pieces kids play.) before, you might noticed that at times, piece A may seem to fit well with piece B. However, shortly after, you picked up piece C and you realized, ...

I chanced upon a blog today. Some deep thoughts came to me when I was reading the blog... Alot of times, most people present an incident in such a way that it seems that they are correct. No one likes to be wrong, it's just how we deal with the mistakes we made. I bet most of you heard of the Chinese saying, 当局者迷. (The onlooker sees better than the chess player himself.) From this, I advise every1 of us to take a step back and see the whole scenario as an outsider. Maybe by doing this, light would shed on the matter making it easier to see. Though everyone has different level of self-confidence, we have a mentality thinking that we are right. Yet, this mentality has another different level altogether. For me, I do not deny that this level of mentality for me is SUPERBY DUPER HIGH! Everything I do and everything that happened, the first thought that came to my mind was, "I am right in doing it this way. The other party is the person who's at fault." But how true can th...

Ratatouille!

Image
Finally, I went to watch Ratatouille after waiting for so long since the trailer first shown in cinemas. Well, I would say overall, the show was good. However, it was a wee bit draggy and it would have been better had the publicity not make this shows seem like one you would go "WOW" after you have finished watching it. As most of us knows, the higher your expectations, the greater disappointment you would get. So my advice to those who is going to catch this show. Just go without expecting anything, things happened at the most unexpected times of life. Don't you agree? The great thing abt this show is I believe after fin watching it, most of us would walk away with 1 of the biggest lessons you learnt. Different ppl would learn/realized different things. As for me, I've learnt that it doesn't matter who you are, but what you do. As long as you believe you can do it, you CAN even if it's against the norms. Who was the perfect idiot to set the norms in this worl...
