Fairy Tale Turned Bad

Posted on November 15, 2009. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Random Rarebits |

Once upon a time, in a far, far away kingdom lived The Princess, who was in love with Prince Charming.  The love story between The Princess and Prince Charming began so beautifully, just like any other fairy tale. The Princess being so naive was totally charmed by Prince Charming, with all the sweet talking he [...]

When the wrong one loves you right

Posted on July 18, 2009. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Random Thots, Thinking Aloud |

Often times, I am too focused on what I want and don’t want in a man — he has to be tall, handsome, intelligent, financially sound, romantic, funny, non-smoker, non-drinker, health-conscious  — and what have you, everything tangible, materialistic and physical about him. Oh, believe me, the list runs longer than The Great Wall of [...]

Nothing but a few not so good men

Posted on March 22, 2009. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Learning Curve |

Life is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think, as Horace Walpole puts it. Perhaps I’ve been feeling too much, rather than doing more thinking.
As much as I feel hurt and down and out, I must let this heartache go – once and for all. I think I’ve been [...]

Walau dunia tak seindah surga

Posted on March 17, 2009. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Soul Food, Thinking Aloud |

I’m feeling much better today and I’m humming this song by Nidji in my head…
Laskar Pelangi
Mimpi adalah kunci
Untuk kita menaklukkan dunia
Berlarilah tanpa lelah
Sampai engkau meraihnya
Laskar pelangi
Takkan terikat waktu
Bebaskan mimpimu di angkasa
Raih bintang di jiwa
Menarilah dan terus tertawa
Walau dunia tak seindah surga
Bersukurlah pada yang kuasa
Cinta kita di dunia
Selamanya…
Cinta kepada hidup
Memberikan senyuman abadi
Walau hidup kadang tak adil
Tapi [...]

A Mere Pebble That Got Stuck In My Shoes

Posted on March 16, 2009. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Learning Curve, Thinking Aloud |

Wow! I feel such relief similar to unloading a heavy rock off my chest after letting go of my anger towards Orang Bulan. I’m glad this is just a rebound thingy. He confused me big time with his anal retentiveness and “shifty” personality – now I’m wondering if he has a split personality disorder because [...]

It’s a dog eat dog world out there

Posted on March 15, 2009. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Learning Curve |

Things always happened for a good reason, there’s learning to be gained from every experience in our lives. Making mistakes, falling and getting up again are part of the essential growing pains in life and this is something that’s necessary for us.
I cannot question God, why me? God would simply answer, why not?
I [...]

Coming to My Senses

Posted on March 14, 2009. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Learning Curve, Random Thots, Soul Food, Thinking Aloud |

In all my messed up state of emotion, I forget there is such thing as “rebound”. Yup, what happened in my life for the last four weeks was a devastating result of this “I hate it but it’s true” thingy called “rebound”.
After analyzing the whole situation and turning it upside down, and looking at [...]

Babe in Total Control of Herself

Posted on March 13, 2009. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Thinking Aloud |

After a series of serious broken heart episodes, I just want to chill out from love and romance for now.
I opted out from playing this silly game because I’m not really good at it. Looking at past results, I think I played terribly. I always ended up becoming game to the players and I [...]

It Must Have Been Love

Posted on March 8, 2009. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Learning Curve, Random Rarebits, Soul Food |

I cried every night the whole of last three weeks. I cried because it’s over. Yeah, I guess it’s really over now. This love shines so brightly like fireworks. This love disappears so quickly like one too. This love cannot outshine Romeo and Juliet by any measure of the day. Yet, it really must have [...]

Puisi tentang hidupku…

Posted on February 26, 2009. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Thinking Aloud |

Those “I love you”, “I sayang you” and “I miss you” from Orang Bulan has suddenly became so distant. Today, he told me he missed me but he can’t see me for some reasons he can’t explain. He said I will understand later, in good time why he has to do this. He confused me…
 
Orang Bulan has [...]

It’s a small world afterall

Posted on December 7, 2008. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Random Thots |

I began to see how much common ground Orang Bulan and I have.
Even our birthdays are just one day apart.  Mine is on November 6, and his is on November 5.
We’re connected in a way, as his best friend is my sister in law’s best friend’s brother, and Orang Bulan’s family lives in the [...]

I’m not babysitting

Posted on November 30, 2008. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Random Thots |

 
God was playing tricks on me again.
I asked God for love, and God sent me Orang Bulan, who’s 12 years younger than me. I found out about his age today.
I was gnashing my teeth, angry at God. I want a mature man because I don’t want to be babysitting immature boys.
Besides, logically, what [...]

Love, unexpectedly

Posted on November 23, 2008. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Thinking Aloud |

I think I found love today.
And he doesn’t fit into the description of my ideal man….
Of all places, we met at a PETRONAS petrol station where he was doing a credit card road show with his colleague. 
When our eyes found each other for the first time that afternoon, it was really déjà vu for [...]

Deserts & Roses

Posted on November 9, 2008. Filed under: C'est La Vie! |

How does one grow a rose in a desert?  
Let’s think out of the box, and be a little outrageous and unreasonable to create this possibility.
It is possible to plant a rose and grow it, if one builds a greenhouse to shelter it, and use the right technology, methodology; fertilizers and lots of water [...]

Truth, like surgery, may hurt

Posted on September 5, 2008. Filed under: C'est La Vie!, Random Rarebits, Random Thots, Thinking Aloud |

 
As prominent writer on modern Chinese and Asian subjects, Han Suyin, who is author of the novels, “A Many-Splendoured Thing” (which was made into the 1955 movie “Love Is a Many Splendored Thing”), “Till Morning Comes”, “The Enchantress”, “Four Faces”, and “The Mountain is Young”, puts it, “Truth, like surgery, may hurt, but it cures.”
