My Personality - True or Not?




Your positive traits:

A good work ethic. You'll do whatever it takes (within reason) to make your relationship work.

Your negative traits:
Sometimes you are so focused on your goals that you let your relationships suffer.
You tend to be a perfectionist - and expect perfection from your mate as well.

Your ideal partner:
Values success in life as much as you do.
Fits a checklist of qualities you've been looking for since childhood.
Like you, is more practical and realistic than romantic

A bit obsessed with cleanliness, you may want to shower first with your love.

Tips for the future:

Marriage Woes?

Had a nice heart-to-heart chat with my cousin "Pretty Mummy" the other night. We used to very close as we used to work together, and we are like sister to each other, as both of us has only 2 younger brothers each. But since she got married, and now with 2 young children, time together is quite impossible for her. We only caught up with each other again last year during the time when our grandma was sick and during her wake. Since then, we will occasionally meet or msn each other.

I know she is having problems with her hubby all along, but it is getting worse now. Her situation is worse than mine, but the good thing is he still cares for the children. For me, my girls are big enough for me to have the courage to walk out, but for her, the children are still young, 5 and 7, so it makes her impossible to walk out of the marriage. The only thing she can do now is to hope that everything will turns out well eventually, and I wish the best for her.

We were also talking about one of our other cousin, which we seldom meet, who has just divorced from her second husband, who is an abusive man. She was forced to walk out with her 2 toddlers. I think it must be a tough decision for her.

Well, I think everyone has their own limit of endurance, even how much we hope that the marriage will turn out well, but to a certain limit, if you cannot take it anymore, you just have to pick up the courage and walk out. Not every marriage is "happily ever after", but I know I have put in every effort to make the marriage works, but sadly, maybe my efforts are not enough. But as Jie says, when there are 4 of us, we are the "Unhappy Four", but now we are the "Happy Three". So I need to tell myself not to dwell on the past, but to look towards the future, and hope everything turns out well, and hopefully, we can have our own home and life soon.

All the best to Us...

My Dream House!

Recently we have been trying to look for a place where the girls and I can call "home". Well, it is not easy, as prices are shooting up like rockets. It seems that everytime I decided to do something, the circumstances are always against me.. . Consider myself unlucky or timing is not right, well, it can't be always not right, right? Wrong.. It is always not right!!

Anyway since young, I have always wanted a small cosy house with a little garden and lots of greenery around. Here's my little dream house.....

When will we be able to move into our little "home".... Pray hard!!!

The Beauties


Had a relaxing dinner with my "Sisters" last night. It is getting more and more difficult for us to meet, even for a simple dinner, especially after San-jie became a TowkayNeo.

During dinner, we are chatting and counting how long we have know each other. We first met on San-jie's 20th birthday, and that was March 1983, at Little Red House Seafood Centre, Upper East Coast Road. So to today we should have know each other for 24 years!!! Wow, cannot imaging we have been sticking around each other for that long. We have seen each other thru our dating days, attended each other's weddings, carrying our babies, bringing the kids for outings, talking about our children, and now thru divorces.

We are not "Sisters" by birth, but we are sisters by blood and love, 结拜姐妹, and we call ourselves "The Beauties", and we have a "JieMei Day" which is 1 Sept, and every year we will all buy each of us one same gift, so you must know how many items have now.

So when we started to msn, Da-jie's email address is BeautyChoo, Er-jie's is Snoopysecond, San-jie's is Beautygrace, so as the youngest, I am xiao-mei, and so this is how xiaomeiren came about. We used to have a Si-Jie, but she has gone MIA for many years... Sad...

We used to meet very frequently, sometimes twice a week, but recently, everyone is busy, and meeting is getting more and more difficult. But no matter wat, there is always time for our sisters bonding... Three Cheers to The Beauties!!!

I Don't Like To Sleep Alone......

No, I don't like to sleep alone
It's sad to think some folks do
No I don't like to sleep alone
No one does
Do you?
I don know about you, but I never like to sleep alone. But for the next 2 nights, I will be sleeping alone in my bed, I think the first time for the last 20 over years.

My Dear Girls left this morning for HK. This is their first time traveling "alone", and they are very excited about it. Although I will be joining them on Thursday, but the feelings of spending time alone now is not something I enjoyed. Well, frankly, I never like to do anything alone, whether it is shopping, or even simple thing like eating alone, I rather choose not to eat.. Not very wise, right?

Well, I think I need to "train" myself to try to do things alone, as one day, my Dear Girls will find their "I do ", and will have a life on their own, and I will have to sleep alone..... But until then, I am glad I still have them to keep my bed warm for me....

Goodnight, Girls.... Miss You!!

Palmistry Reading!!

What will you do if you feel at a lost, don know wat is ahead, wat you did was correct or not, (other than chanting to God to help me!), I went for a palm reading.

Well it happens that this Master Khor was at a booth next to Mei's, so everyday I was tempted to sit on the chair, but do not have the courage to do so. So last Sat, I pick up my courage, and Blonk.. I sat on the chair opposite him, and said "I need a reading!!"

Well, some of the things he said is not that accurate, but some are quite true, and I take consolations on the good things he had said, and will turn a deaf ear over the not-so-good news. The first thing he told me is "You think too much, worry too much, should learn to destress, take yoga or mediation". Hey, I better discuss with jie and see when we going to start our long-arranged yoga class?

Then he went on and told me I just went thru a major breakup recently... so I asked him is there any chance of conciliation, he peered thru his magnifying glass, and shaking his head.."Very difficult la.. 很难, there is a 3rd party". OK, tat few words made me sealed my heart. Whether is true or not, I want to believe him for this instance..hehe..

He said by age 45, 3 things will happen, either one or all three (well, of course, I hope for all the 3, greedy me!)
1. I will find my new man (OK, for the next 2 years, I can close my eyes)
2. I will meet my 贵人
3. I will migrate
Let's keep our fingers crossed!!

Of course, I will not brag the bad things he said, cos I choose to forget... Well, just hope the good ones will happen, and the not-so-good ones will pass...

But the best part of all his readings is.. my 2 girls are very good, and they will be filial to me... that is the best part of the readings.. and it made my money worth...

Girls.. I love both of you dearly..
