The amazing women.

when I was growing up, my mother told me that when I grow up, I can pretty much be whatever I want to be, she taught me the facts of life. She taught me a little bit about men and how to deal with them. However, today as I turn 24 years old. I think my mother forgot to teach me one thing.
The different roles of a woman. I was never taught that I need to be a good girlfriend, a fillial daughter, a role-model employee, a dependable friend, a reliable sister, a dutiful mother, a tender-loving wife and being myself, all at the same time! No wonder men find it amazing how women can multi-task so successfully.

Take a working mother for example.
At 6am, the dutiful mother wakes her children up for school while preparing the most important meal of the day. Then the employee rushes into the shower, applies the make up that is demanded by the working society, put on the uninteresting working clothes. The dutiful mother re-possess the body, whiz the children into the car and drives them to school. As she drives, she revise the spelling test while the subconcious employee goes through the appointments for the day.
7.15am, the children are in school, the loving wife calls her husband to wake him up for work,
several times. Caught in the jam at CTE, the employee, touch up on her lipstick and checks her appearance in the mirror, doing all this while being on the phone for the last time, screaming at the man to wake up!
9.00am, just made it in time, the day shall now start.
10am, the fillial daughter must now answer to her mother why she hasn't gone home for the past few weeks for dinner while the employee types the long overdue report.
12nn Lunch time. The woman slips into the gym for some 'me' time and hurry through a fat free yoghurt and a veggie sandwich at the remaining 15mins at lunch time. Mustn't put on anymore weight, the husband's company annual dinner is round the corner. Must be trophy wife.
1pm After the wife sms an erotic message to her husband. The employee excuses herself from the meeting because the mother needs to check to see if the children are home.
6pm The employee goes home, immediately, the mother takes over and miraclously whip up a 4 course dinner in 30mins with just some meat, eggs, some veggie and mushrooms.
9pm The dutiful mother finish up clearing homework with her children. She tucks the children into bed and she hops into the bath for some 'me' time.
10pm The wife now slips into the sexy lingere she just bought. Going commando, the wife bends to right in front of the TV, allow her husband full view of EVERYTHING. Her husband closes his mouth, follows his wife into the bedroom
12mn A final gasp of moan from the sensual woman as she comes, she still feels her husband throbbing hardness in her. The wife knew her husband was a happy man.
1230mn Cuddling time over. The mother reach over to the bedside table and sets the alarm for tomorrow.

The multiple roles starts again at 6am.

THE BREAK UP

Easily, my favorite movie this year!

The Break Up dealt with issues that is so real. Issues that I can certainly relate to and am sure Blacks understand as well! As we were watching Jennifer Anniston fight with Vince Vaugh aboutt the lemons and the flowers and the dishes, I couldn't help but lean over to Blacks and whisper "Oh my god, we fight about that too!" The movie made me laugh, cry, heartbroken, touched and everything else a person feels throughout the course of any relationship. Sure! don't think anyone would go through the lengths of this 2 people when they break up just to spite one another but the emotions are so close to heart.

People, go watch this movie , and mebbe we will learn how to better appreciate the one we truly love.

Our first holiday together

We have finally taken a trip together. The timing was perfect as it was straight after the proposal and it felt like a honeymoon for the both of us. 4 days 3 nights staying at Century Park Hotel, Pratunam. We were greeted with a nice surprise when we reach out room with a nicely folded towel elephant perched on the toilet sink area.

And off we went, shopping, eating, shopping, eating. Blacks took me by surprise for the being the one more enthusiastic about shopping than I am. On the very first day we arrive, we have already conquered the entire Siam Square area and touched based at Suan Lam night bazaar! I was even 'told off' for not spending and buying enough stuff! It was hilarious. Blacks was such a gentlemen for carrying all our shopping. But the monster surfaced when he saw the roadside stalls selling satays and sausages. After the first bite into the 'ripper' (a sausaged deep fried), he was hooked, he was looking for it everywhere and everytime he found a stall, it was like finding gold. When we got lost, we asked around for directions but relied heavily on a map that was torn and tattered by our last day.

The best thing was going to Bangkok and ended up in Paris and Mexico!

But it was nonetheless 4 magical days we had. So thats the end of our short holiday and the beginning of our lifes together as 1

A career will only last you 40-50 years. True love will last you a life time.

And with that I choose love for material wealth will only keep me satisfied superficially. I need a deeper meaning to life.

I just want to be his wife

As most people know by now, I have gotten the proposal of a life time. One I couldnt have imagine and one that took my breath away.

Thank you Captain Tay for making it all possible.

What has the whole wedding/proposal changed? It has certainly changed my entire perspective on life. My sisters who know me well, knows that I am one who is not good with emotional chat. I don't say that I will always be there for them because I think they will know it and I don't tell them everything will be ok when they are facing a rut in their lifes because I know I will do all in my power to make things right for them. So no, Im not one who is good with emotional words. Yet, today, I find myself full of emotions. Full of emotionals words which I want to say. Full of emotions that are bursting out of me.

When I was younger, I didn't dream about the grand wedding. I didn't envision myself in the white gown walking down the aisle into the arms of my knight in shining armour. I've always wanted to be identified for my success (in a little way I still do). My vision was to climb the corporate ladder and be identified to be the best in the business. To have that big office with the view. To wear that power suit and have a team of people working under me. To drive that luxury car and dine in fine restaurants. To be RICH & FAMOUS.

But since I met him, my entire life has changed. Xiaohei became my life. I am happy just to be with him. I don't mind if we eat simple food everyday as long as we eat together. We have just spent the most wonderful 4 days in Bangkok and it felt so good to just be in a world where theres just me and him. I can't imagine how much I can love someone but I love him so much. As we were walking along the streets of Bangkok at night, I was not only scared that we might get mugged but I had this deep innate fear that the mugger will kill him and I will lose Xiaohei forever. Just that thought cause a sharp pain through my heart. I now really understand what does it mean by not being able to live without a person. I can't live without him.

I just want to be his wife.

"Eversince we are together, you have added colour to my life

There was never a dull moment with you by my side

I would like to have the honour to spend the rest of my life with you.

Baby..... will you marry me?" - xiaohei
