Your Ideal Relationship is Serious Dating

You're not ready to go walking down the aisle. But you may be ready in a couple of years. You prefer to date one on one, with a commitment. And while chemistry is important, so is compatibility.

Weather's good. I like it that it's cold enough to layer but not enough to freeze.

The self-drive to Swan Valley with my window wounded down to feel the breeze in my face was satisfying, coupled with an incredibily beautiful and romantic lunch at one of the vineyards.

Laying on the soft velvety grass of King's Park, doing nothing but watch the sun set over Swan River.

Palm and tarot card readings in Freemantle as well as the spooky night tour at Freemantle Prison.

Almost watched Superman Returns in Subiaco but backed out due to an adverse reaction to too much Shiraz and MSG.

But as I am sitting here in Dome's cafe at the Perth airport waiting for my flight to Melbourne, I can hardly wait for my next adventure to commence.

I have this feeling i will love Melbourne more!

Well I guess I should be happy about the promotion. Afterall, being an Associate Account Director at the age of 28 IS something to be proud of.

When I was a child, I dreamt of being a teacher, a lawyer or even a policeman. As I turned older I toyed with the idea of having my own business. Never in my dreams did I imagine myself to be where I am today. Sometimes it suprises me how the journey of my career has moved so far.

Boss sat me down after it was announced and spoke with regards to heavier responsibilities and my positioning in the department and organisation. Seriously I don't hate what I do but I do feel trapped sometimes. The challenges that I once faced has become obsolete with time and I feel the need to break free and embark on something new and radical to keep my mind active with my constant desire need to learn. I am not even sure if the impending merger will be able to satisfy my current state of restlessness.

But damm I need the money.

Oh the battle between the reality of life and the dreams that we have..

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

I just had two black pepper chicken sandwiches and a 500 ml carton of soya bean milk from 7-Eleven.

And so for my gym workout tomorrow (actually it's today considering the time now) which I have planned, my body will be burning the carbs from this undesirable late night supper instead of the copious amount that have been stuck in it.

That is if I can actually drag my fat ass to the gym.

I feel real bloated now.

What an unexpected suprise
And a pleasant one too
A chance encounter on MSN
A rekindled connection from the past
I don't really remember the taste of the infamous hor fun and soya bean from Geylang
Or the little late night adventure to an old playground
It's amazing to see how much we have changed in the past 8 years
New jobs, new directions, new relationships and new perspectives
But there are some fundamentals that remain
Thanks for the lovely Saturday evening

I carry your heart with me
I carry it in my heart
I am never without it
Anywhere I go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done
By only me is your doing, my darling
I fear no fate
For you are my fate, my sweet
I want no world
For beautiful you are my world, my true
and it`s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide
and this is the wonder that`s keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart
I carry it in my heart

I've more or less fathom what my working style is after 3 years. And that is my energy level comes in spurts which allows me perform better under pressure or tight deadlines.

Like the way I get a certain high out of the busy schedules that demanded all my attention for the past 7 weeks as well as enjoying the lazy streak in me now that things have begun to slow down.

Okay, this feels really himbotic but I am kinda bored in the office now.

This is what it means to be held

And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was when everything fell
We would be held

The scenario couldn't have been more ordinary.

The son picking up his parents from the Singapore Indoor Stadium after a concert and then heading to supper at Geylang.

Except his parents have been divorced for the past 12 years. And his Dad had remarried.

Probably no one realised that they weren't heading back to the same home and the son had to make a special detour to drop his Dad off at his new home.

Sometimes things aren't the way it seems.

And in Sociology it would probably have qualified as a case study for alternative families.

It got off to a lousy start.

First I was late in leaving the office. Then I missed the turn at Kallang that resulted in a longer route via the congested streets of Geylang. Upon reaching the drive-thru Mac & KFC, it was so crowded that we could not sit down for a proper meal. And as we made our way towards the Indoor Stadium, I realised I had ran out of carpark coupons and had to make a detour to the nearest petrol kiosk to purchase some.

But you know what?

When the performance commenced, it was totally worth it. That powerful voice that resonated throughout the stadium, the slick and smooth showmanship he displayed, the witty humour that accompanied his jokes and that hilarious impersonation of Maroon 5 and Michael Jackson that had the crowd in stitches.

Michael Buble you are truly an amazing entertainer.

And the evening turned out just the way I wanted it.

One year. It's actually been a year already.

Someone asked me today over brunch if I am happy.

All I can say is that I hope that 27 onwards will be better years.

And that I've become a better person as well.

10 random things about myself:

1) I am secretly obsesed about getting things in order all the time.
2) I am a shoe whore. I have more than 15 pairs of shoes in total.
3) Daydreaming is one of my favourite activity. It's my escapist tendency at work.
4) I used to be the champion in my school's annual storytelling competition.
5) When I come across irritating drivers that stop along the road causing inconvenience to others, I get the uncontrollable desire to just ram my car into them.
6) My favourite movie USED to be Pretty Woman. I watched it so many times till I grew sick of it. Plus I outgrew the "Happily Ever After" fantasy.
7) I dislocated my right arm when I was 9. I tried to jumped from my bed to the table.
8) I enjoy being alone by myself sometimes. Instead of having lunch with colleagues or friends, I would disappear and spend the 2 hours alone at Borders/Kino/HMV.
9) I am not as gracious a person as I would like to be. I find it difficult to forgive sometimes.
10) On weekends I only brush my teeth after I had brunch. I figure it makes more sense to clean everything just once.

There are days where you feel like you are roaring to go, ready to take on all that the world has to offer.

And there are days where you just want to run and hide in someplace safe and sound where no one can reach you.

I am unsure of what's to be done next. And I am not sure if I am liking what I have discovered about myself.

I feel like crap now.
