A case of robbery and logic

A recent snatch thief news reported in my residence caught the boyfriend's eager eyes.

I was heading home on my own after hanging out at Nick's today and insisted he sends me no further than the traffic junction so he can rest before burning Saturday working again. I requested, no, implored that he sleep first.

He uttered, "I will wait for you to get home first."

"Oh cos' of the robbery? If I'm really robbed there's nothing you can do about it.", I shrugged, conscious of the truth behind my statement.

He simply stated "I can call the police."

I had a good laugh at his cool joke.

What a silly boyfriend.

Here's to the man I adore!

Superficial loverman

At least he admits it.

A typical demand such as "Please don't put on weight" or "Dont cut too short" on the topic of hair, was quasi-drilled into my head.

Each time I'd call him superficial - believe me his skin is sickeningly thick - he would laugh and generously acknowledge said feedback like I'm heaping praises.

I wasn't getting used to it at first but he turned out to be quite funny sometimes. He makes me laugh even when there's nothing worthy to laugh about. He's the least egoistical guy I've ever been with, or known and he's not one who sugar coat his words. There were unsummarized times I struggled to make up my mind whether I truly love this side to him. I guess it's a yes for now.

I've been in a few relationships myself but none of them are as volatile as ours. I was used to being pampered like a princess, shy to say. I was constantly reminded I was perfect (not that I believed it anyway).

Nick pampers me in his own way. I don't often get my way, he makes sure of that, yet he's thorough in supplying his undivided attention when I needed it. Sometimes, at the expense of sleep sacrifices. He needs his sleep more than anyone I know.

I am not the easiest person to fall in love with. I'm known to be highly opinionated and fiercely gung-ho. Asian men seems to love docility. I happen to be opposite bearings.

The cryptic in me took a while to semi open up. Being on the defense for the longest time, it took momentum and timing to drop my guards. God bless this cute soul :)

Funny how a few wrong moves could make a right turn somehow.

I followed my brain and the heart chose. I feel empowered to take my time and heal before I'm ready to commit :) Best decision ever.

The mid week happenings

Yesterday was the last of my rest days before my new job resumes this very morning.

It was productive and well spent despite having to travel far to meet Aimee for gym, and settling our 'stocks' at Ponggol after.

I was very inspired to write this last night but exhaustion got the better of me.

I feel awesome every single day loving someone who absolutely deserves my effort, attention and affection. I guess it's sappy but I'm very happy to say it's a love that grows exponentially.

Dreamy sighs.

Painful weekend

Did some work from home over the weekend, with Nick beside me studying for his upcoming exam.

Finished my work earlier than expected, and me being me, had better things to do than waiting for action to happen.

So I designed my temporary workstation on his foot. Rather playful I know.

Sunday ended with me doubled over in (back)pain. I wanted to cry out in anguish but I managed a sharp wince. Nick massaged my back (thanks baby!) and the pain ceased only to haunt me later at night.

I'll never take my back for granted again. It actually really hurt.

Coming into Monday, I feel edgy.

Perk-me-ups

A weekend getaway ought to be given some due attention soon.

I am dying to put this horizon beyond me for a good X days.

Off to manicure and singing for a lil recharge!

Five amazing months old

With personalities as distinct as day and night, every moment spent together is a blessing, though persistence surely must have prevailed in ours.

I've never felt more secured and loved in my life, nor have I loved with such intensity.

I am holding on tightly to a love that's so pure, good things are meant to last a lifetime. Even as bittersweet memories find it's eternal resting spot in our minds.

For a guy that checks off my list, I am learning to enjoy the surreal reality, hopefully until the brown luscious hair turns gray.

As I glazed upon my lifetime, I grinned in retrospect at the three single besties who are merrily in love now :)

Missing Michelle II

I've tried to turn up at many places at the same time and played many different roles to my loved ones. Productive much?

I'm just settling into my new working environment. "God never make mistakes", I heard my baby quip. :)

This photolog is also dedicated to the BFF who complains of this outdated space.

The source

I was sifting through some stationeries in the drawer last night and stumbled upon the red box.

It was a forgotten piece. I remember it used to contain old passport photos and stamps. I lifted the lid and let out a small gasp.

I held some of the old photos in my hand and admired them.

It was so obsolete. I travelled through time.

A knowing smile escaped my lips.

The source of my past happiness and sadness, all in a little red parcel.

Life's little ironies seems to make life itself more beautiful.

Missing Michelle I

Much has been happening since I left Sky.

Too many updates, such little time.

It's been a well-spent month and many more could be said about me, my life and everything nice.

Work was a huge learning curve and kept me busy but sane.
