When You Really Love Someone...
I've been listening to this song the whole day, after I just happen to play it once in the morning. The song 'When you really love someone' by Alicia keys, was introduced to me by my friend Derrick. I've to thank him for that 'coz this song really has deep meanings in it. It carries a lot of truths that are often forgotten when we talk about love. So here's the lyrics to the song that hopefully, will serve as a reminder to us all, be it the ladies or the guyz. *smilez*

Yummy yummy Rice Table!
OMG... I'm still feeling very full even though it's been 3 hours since my dinner at Rice Table. And I must say... the food was fabulous... fantastic... magnificent.. simply yummyyyyyy! Needless to say.. I was so enjoying my dinner that I forgot to take snapshots of the delicious food! *gigglez*

It was a-la-carte-buffet style.. an all-you-can-eat dinner.. but the thing is.. they serve all 20 dishes in their menu to us, all at one go! And throughout, the food was kept warm 'coz they put it on a steel warmer on the table, which was definitely helpful as we took our own sweet time with the sumptious spread. Even when one of my colleague came half an hour later, they served her portion of all 20 dishes! And you can even ask for a top up of any dish you have finished eating! Oh gosh... we ate and we ate and we ate... for 1 hour plus till we gave up and just let the food to sink in before we munch to finish off the leftovers. *grinz*

It was a great dinner and I have to thank my dear dear colleague for the wonderful time.. food and laughter.. a winning combination! Thanks a lot ladies and a gent! *smilez*

Oh yeah, I did manage to salvage something from the dinner.... the wet tissue! *laffs*

So there! A nice sumptious yummy dinner for my March holidays! Hopefully, I'll get to enjoy the rest of the 3 days left as much too! *winkz*

---An Endless Story---

A year...
Suddenly, I just feel like blogging an entry tonight.. and as I'm doing so, I'm listening to Perfect 10, and they're playing My Immortal by Evanescence. It's been a really long time since I listened to the radio. And today, it's been a day of doing things which I have long forgotten about. *smilez*

The reason I didn't blog is mainly because there's not much significant things going on, no pressing issues or really frustrating emotions or thoughts caught up in my mind. So, I didn't feel the need to blog an entry.. but somehow tonight, I got thinking about some things....

It's going to be a year since my dearest and I have been together. Not long if you compare it to some of the long-term relationships of my other friends, but it's considered an achievement to me, since it's really been a while since my last love relationship. A year... 12 months... 365 days.. that's how long we've been together.. and it wasn't just a sweet ride all the way. There were indeed some rough times we went through, dealing with issues like insecurity, jealousy and the usual couple bickerings. Like they say, in every relationship, there has to be some sugar and spice. *smilez*

But as I think our relationship through, it doesn't just revolves around the both of us. I have to admit our relationship has affected my friendships and family ties. Truthfully, I hang out less with my friends now, and on weekends, I usually spend time away from home. Is this normal when you're in a relationship? Or is this a start to a whole problematic issue? *frownz*

Lately, I've been feeling guilty about spending less time with friends and family. But what can I do? It's not that my dearest forced me to go out with him every of my free time and that he forbids me to go out with my friends... it's just that the timing's just off most of the times. We only have time to meet up on weekends because of work on weekdays. And gosh, weekends just consist of 2 days, Saturday and Sunday. And Sundays are usually my rest and family day at home, so actually, I have only 1 day to spend with him... And this really puts me in a dilemma at times.

Sometimes, I just wish people would be more understanding.. it's not that I purposely shun away from people and refuse to go out with them.. but it's just that, time and opportunity doesn't permit.

I love my friends and family... a lot. They're the ones who've become part of my life, and till one year ago, another person has entered my life. I've spent 25 years of my life with my friends and family, no matter how long or short a duration is, being there for them, showing how much I care... and now I just need them to understand that I need to give my time to this special someone who has only make his entrance a year ago.

I'll always remember my dearest friends and family, and I do miss the times we spent together. I just need you to give us more time to build our relationship and make it a strong one. What we need most is your support and encouragement. Let there be criticisms if necessary, but let it be out of concern and not out of spite. The last thing I would wish for is a broken friendship or family ties....
