This is my dearest colleague.. & today my friends, we have been teaching the lil devilz for exactly 2 years! Congratulations to both of us! *giggles* I wonder, we're so happy we've worked in this line for 2 years.. but what about the other teachers who've worked in this line for years and years and years and still counting... Amazing.. their level of tolerance, patience and passion~! *salutez them*

Well, this girlfriend of mine here is going to further her studies in KL this coming July... So.... she'll be going away.. My dearest colleague, my partner in crime, my laughing girlfriend and my gossip gang.. gonna be away from me for 3 years.. *sobs sobs* I'm really gonna miss those wonderful times we had... From the time we consoled each other when we first joined the school... to the time now, when we have grown so fond of the school, the kidz, our colleagues... *sighz*

Anyway, all good things, sometimes have to come to an end... but hopefully not for this case. I do hope that she'll achieve and fulfill her dreams, may she be happy always, and strive to be who she wants to be. All the best to you my dearest friend... Do take care and remember the good times we had... May we have more great times in the future when you come back, aiytez? *smilez*

What the future holds...
I was surfing the Net and came across this:
"Love isn't love unless it is expressed; caring isn't caring unless the other person knows; sharing isn't sharing unless the other person is included; Loving, caring, and sharing can make for a very happy marriage. "

I guess loving, caring and sharing are the basic essence of, not only a marriage, but in any kind personal relationship. Although to have these sounds simple, but in actual fact, it isn't. For me, I know it isn't simple at all, 'coz all my life, there are just too many failed relationships that I've come across, be it personally, directly or indirectly through the people around me.

My dearest was sharing with me, that his ambition is to start a business, venturing out to other countries. I told him... No matter where you go, I'll be with you, right there by your side. That's the most important lesson I've learnt through my parents' divorce. You see, my mum and dad were always busy with their own business. My mum was always overseas and my dad worked from morning till night, and at night when he came back, he'd be too tired to be with us, his children. These situations probably led to their separation. And from them, I've learnt that it isn't just about trust and understanding between couples when they're apart.. Sometimes, we just need to be physically and emotionally there for each other.

I'm not an expert in marriage, I'm not a marriage counsellor.. Heck! I'm not even married.. But I do know that a happy marriage isn't just about loving, caring and sharing.. A whole lot more is needed. Many a times when I look at failed marriages and marital affairs around me, I question the meaning of love and relationship. At times, it can be disheartening to see these kind of things going on, but nonetheless, these are parts of life.

I tell myself not to be disheartened and shy away from love and marriage. I want to get married, have children and be happy with my own little family. They say Capricorns are ambitious, but Capricorns are down to earth too. I'll do what is needed to make myself a happy family. Even if I have to put all other things aside, I will put my own family first. I will not let my children go through what I went through with my parents' separation. The only tears that they'll be shedding will be tears of joy, I hope and pray.. That's what my future holds... with God's will. *smilez*

Dirty Dancing Havana Nights

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Wowweee.. isn't the picture hot? *giggles* I've just finished watching Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. The movie was cool. I simply love it 'coz of 1 reason... the hot dance moves! *laughs* The songs were great... with each one of them having a latin tune to it. Makes me kinda get into the mood for tonight, when I'll be spending time with my dearest.

I'm counting the hours right now... 7 more hours till I see him tonight. 1 week apart.. Time seems to move so slowly the past 1 week. Every night when we're on the phone, we would console each other... telling each other how many more days to go. But it's not as if we're in two different countries! *laughs* Kinda of cute, ain't it? *grinz*

Anyway, here's to a great weekend to all! Have fun, take care and may the weekend be filled with wonderful memories! *winkz*

Mother's Day

This is my niece, Rin, holding a drawing for Mother's Day. *smilez* Mother's Day, a day of celebration to Mums all over the world. For my family, my mum came at about 4pm to celebrate with us on that day. We just ordered KFC delivery and spent the whole day at home, relaxing, talking and playing with the kids. It was nothing so special, but nonetheless, I hope my mum enjoyed herself. *smilez*

I was never close with my mum. Ever since primary school, my mum had been busy with her business, often going overseas. Things got worse when my parents divorced. She would only visit us once every couple of months. Between my mum and myself, things got to a pretty bad point when she remarried. She had asked all my other siblings for their permission and had told them of her intention. She had asked all, except me. I did not know she was going to remarry. Even for her marriage ceremony, I was told it was only going to be a simple reception. The true reason behind the reception was hidden from me. I could never understand why that was so, and I had never asked. I guess, till now, each time I remember the incident, I still feel kind of bitter and disappointed. *frownz*

My distant relationship with my mum and my closeness with my dad was the reason I stood up for a friend's dad two days ago. She was telling me how her dad and herself was never close, and how her dad's presence made little difference in her life. I told her that sometimes, fathers work in their quiet ways. They become the observer and especially when their children have grown up, they prefer their children to make their own choices. My case is the opposite of hers, I'm closer with my dad instead of my mum. Thus, I am able to understand how dads, in general, thinks and behaves. *smilez*

I guess, to each his or her own opinions. Based on different experiences, people will have different views. Sometimes, I do wonder if things could have been better for me and my family in the past. But to live in the past is something we should not do. Everything that happened in your past was meant to bring you to the choices you have right now. All of us should live in the present. As what I have recently read in an email and which I totally agree to, "Reminisce the past, hope for the future, and cherish the present. Live your life, enjoy it and savour the precious moments in your life." *smilez*

3Days/2Nights Holiday Getaway?
I had so much fun during the last 3-4 days. It felt like I had been to a 3D/2N holiday getaway, but in actual fact I was still here, didn't go out to any other country. *winkz*

It all started on Thursday evening(11th May), a chill out session with my darlin galfren and some friends, followed by a night out of fun with my dearest, only the two of us. I can't believe it.. This is the 1st time, in 3 years, that I had a lot of fun, dancing the night away, in the arms of my dearest. Juz the two of us there in the club, enjoying the music, the ambience and enjoying each other's company. He feels the same way too, saying to me, that he will never forget that night... We went off at 6am, when the club closed and then we spent the rest of the day together, chilling out till afternoon, when his friend came to join us for late lunch at 5pm at Orchard.

Next, we joined my galfren for a BBQ at East Coast at about 7pm. We stayed till 10pm, then we went off to meet his friend at a club. By then, both of us were just too tired, so we stayed till 2am. We spent the night out chillin' together. We played 'I Spy' in Orchard Road in the wee hours of the morning, laughing so much at each other's silliness! We only went home at about 2pm on Saturday afternoon. No wonder it felt like as if we had gone for a 3D/2N holiday getaway!

After so much fun and spending quality time with each other, he called me up on Saturday night at 8pm, telling me he misses me so much already. Awww, very sweet of him. But I feel the same way too. *smilez*

I guess, that's what happens when love strikes you, there is no such thing as ever spending enough time with your loved ones. You just want to spend the rest of your time with him. Oh Yeah, one more thing, amidst our fun time together, we did talk about our future, what it holds for both of us. So, it's not just fun fun fun, but there was serious talk too. *giggles* So what did the both of us talked about? What will our future be? I'll tell ya'all when we're both more certain, aiytez? For now, take care... *winkz*

Melancholy sets in...
Tonight, we talked for more than an hour on the phone. Right from the beginning, I could sense his worry, his stressed tone and I could hear his silent sighs...

Done with our 5 minutes of usual talk(asking how each other's day was.. and so on), I finally asked the correct question: So did you manage to sleep well last night (after a night out with his friends)? And he replied.. "No, I couldnt sleep yesterday... So much to think about." That was when it all came out, his worry about me, about us, about his work especially.

He shared with me what had happened at work yesterday when he was told that probably after his contract ends in June, they might not be able to keep him as the company wasn't doing very well. He was worried and kept thinking of what his next actions will be. His options: If he gets a new job, he can stay on here. If he doesn't, he has to go back to his country... which means.. away from me...

That's where his thoughts about me and us come in. What will happen to us? And thats when melancholy started to set in on me... Sharing the same thoughts and worry as him. But, I tried to keep my cool and gave him my positive opinions and I told him, whatever he decides, I'll give him my support.

I don't want to lose him, I don't want to watch him go faraway from me... My heart aches juz thinkin' about him going back to his country... I really do wish and hope that everything will turn out well.. Like what I've said earlier.. If dreams can come true, I would only dream of being with him for as long as God's will... So, please God, please let this dream of mine come true.. please.. *cries in silent prayers*
