Faith is...

the difference between optimism and pessimism..

the difference between happiness and depression..

the difference between perseverance and quitting..

the difference between joy and hurt..

the difference between hope and despair..


I feel happy recently. Cos I've been practising thinking positive thoughts and having faith. When I feel all the negative emotions, I allow myself to soak in it for a minute and then I work on having FAITH that everything will work out for the better in time. I have faith in myself. I believe I deserve the kind of love that I want and am willing to give, love that goes beyond appearance and physical. Love that you feel DEEP down in your heart, even when miles apart. Love that causes you to give without calculating.. Instead of despairing when I see loving couples holding hands, I tell myself - I will love those whom I have, I will be happy and I will live fully .. I will be thankful for what I already have... Cos I believe if you look for love, it can never be found, but if you stop looking for it, it will find you.

The Rose

Heard this on radio today and remembered it was one of my favourite songs sung by amanda macbroom. Really beautiful song, never get tired of listening to it. To me, Love is so many things. Sometimes its like a razor that leaves your soul to bleed, other times its like a flower that blooms...whatever it is, love is so wonderful esp when you really feel it. I thought I knew what love is until i ran out of it. My heart was empty till this special person came along and filled my heart..

Retail Therapy

Woke up after a really good sleep.. Yesterday's swim was FANTASTIC. It's really great to work out with a buddy. I don't know why I'm born with two conflicting sides to me - one is so athletic, competitive and sporty while my other side is feminine and gentle. I can't resist soft flowy dresses and looking utterly feminine in a dresses and high heels. But my other side loves wearing jeans, tees, shorts and rugged clothes Lara Croft style. So my wardrobe is split into two - Rugged & Sporty Clothes vs Feminine Wear.
Today I'm in a feminine mood definitely. So I put on a dress, choker and heels to town. First stop was Far East Plaza. There's a boutique there that I frequently visit - Chaos. The designer seems to share the same taste as me. There's a new collection at the shop and I ended up buying 3 dresses, 2 skirts and 2 blouses, along with lacey leggings and tube tops. Then I went to a perfume shop to get this fragrance, Miracle by Lancome. It's quite a sweet floral scent but not too sweet. I like it after it develops further. I had planned to go Taka but after buying so much at Chaos, I'm satisfied and wanting to go home..

This is what you call RETAIL THERAPY. Since a picture speaks a thousand words, here are two pics speaking 2000 words about 2 of my new dresses.




Going to cook minced beef with basil, a Thai recipe, for dinner. Then head for my Inline Skating lesson. Looking forward to meet my skating buddies and trainers. They're really a sporty bunch of ppl!
