I got this off a blog. During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, "How do I know if I married the right person?" I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is that your husband?" In all seriousness, she answered, "How do you know?" Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind. EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated his call, wanted his touch and liked his idiosyncrasies. Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love. People in love sometimes say, "I was swept off my feet." Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there, doing nothing. Then something came along and happened to you. Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens) and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts. The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage. At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages break down. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfilment. Extra-marital fulfilment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, church, a hobby, friendship, excessive TV or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY, you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this): The Key To Succeeding In Marriage Is Not Finding The Right Person; It's Learning To Love The Person You Found . SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression "the labour of love" … because it takes time, effort and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work. Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage. Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... you can "make" love. Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... Not just a feeling. what do you think?

 we had been to aston's a number of times and we still crave having their western dishes. and being resonably-priced also attracts diners! i must say this lady i'm dating is remarkable! she is always full of surprises.. the more i find out about her the more i'm attracted to her! i was brought to the attention to this traditional question, where on a date should the man pay? should the couple go dutch? or should whoever initiated the date pay? from what i've come to understand, most guys do not mind paying for their ladies but are turned off if he feel that they are 'expected' to pay. there are some that jus feels that there is no reason for them to be paying as they should just go dutch.. "not like the girl cant pay for herself" or "i havent started earning any income so why should i? ". then again there are guys who go all chivalrous and will always insist on paying for everything and anything. girls on the other hand. they are a much more complicated species that i wont dare analyse. i guess there are those that relish having guys pay for their everthing. and independent ones insisting that they are quite capable to foot their bills. some rather just take turns paying off the bill - that way they dont feel like they owe the guy anything and also there'll be no issues regarding money should the relationship turn complicated. in a relationship many other aspects also count in. personally i've always felt the guy should be the one footing the bill as it is only polite and it is the proper dating etiquette for a romantic date out with the one you love. and alot more other factors but anyway, as you get to know each other more, all these money matters wont matter as i guess what's yours is hers and what's hers is hers! love this girll of mine! =p James | 11:19 PM Friday, May 25, 2007

firstly.. as my dear friend had used my laptop to watch porn videos, thus when i wanted to use it at nite and 'on-ed' my laptop, it showed me there was only 5%=5mins of batterylife left. but after only about 3mins and it went dead! juz when i sososo wanted to use it! and.. worse is to come.. when i tried to on the ignition at 415am this morning, the engine won't ignite! instead i heard 'tatata' cranking sounds. the battery has been fully discharged.. aka dead! dame. was kinda flustered at first but lucky had the towing company number on the windscreen decal.called them and they said they'll send a tow-truck down. left them my hp number so that the driver could contact and find me when he arrived. and this was when my third strikeout occurred. when i hung up, my hp went 'beep'.. NO BATT! dame again. had to borrow my fren's hp to call them again and leave them tt number instead.got so unlucky meh. 3 impt batteries all dead juz when i needed to use 'em. all late in the nite somemore. and to add to that.. our dear towtruck took 90mins to arrive! poor me sat alone by the roadside..watching taxi's pass and being so tempted to ask them if they had a jumpstart cable and help me jumpstart my car. can help me save 40bucks too! oh..thou i managed to bargain off 5bucks. tt guy juz came..took out a cable..connect it to my battery..ask me turn on the ignition and wala.. everything back to normal. dame.. good money eh! ohya.. instead of a towtruck.. a van came. he told me their towtruck had no power so it couldnt come. i cant imagine wat if the car needed towing.. i'll end up waiting the whole morning!!! well.. it had been a fun experience! but like my fren said.. if ever my mum were to call tt tow company.. i jux hope they wont reveal tt 'oh i hav ur particulars already as u hav called us before.' !!!

husband: i will take you to an African safari. wife: wow, you are so sweet....how about on our 50th Wedding Anniversary? husband: i will come back and take you home. time flies. i love that tag line. ohyeah.. time really flies. why is a wedding anniversary, or the third anniversary of the day you met, or the seventh week anniversary of the first time you saw a movie together, so incredibly important to women? why don't women just appreciate your ongoing relationship, why do they need these constant reminders of past events? And why do they get so crushed if you don't view anniversaries the way they do. there are a couple of possible explanations for this. first, for a lot of women, a successful relationship has taken the place of a rewarding career - it is something they pined for, worked at achieving, worried over, spent considerable time, effort and money to maintain and something that, in the end, they're not at all confident will be around forever. i feel that women see landing a man, and luring him into an exclusive, committed relationship, the way Lance Armstrong views the Tour de France - a long, gruelling competition with worthy adversaries, bad luck lurking around every corner, and a huge champagne-fueled celebration at the end of it. these women feel victorious when they finally walk down the aisle, or when they experience those first few indications that this relationship may become serious, and that's why they have to keep reminding themselves of these little triumphs every so often when the "routine" of a relationship isn't rewarding enough anymore. please do correct me if i'm wrong.. =p and of course sometimes it might even be visa-versa. it's a sad fact - many women are not really interested in the "relationship" the way men are. women want to be wanted, women want acknowledgement that they've "won" over other women, or that they've "won out" over a man's so-called natural aversion to monogamy. women seem to need the thrill of victory over and over again, and aren't content with the day-to-day comforts of monogamous bliss. that's why so many women get bored with a man once he falls deeply in love with them - they don't want a lifelong, constant source of mutual love and respect, they want the next conquest, they want to bring down the next man, they want to feel the eyes of another man lust for them and pursue them and give in to them. once they have him, they get bored and move on again, and on it goes. but while they're in these seriel monogamous relationships, the signposts of their success, the Anniversaries, are all-important and not to be trifled with. this was the day I got you to admit you loved me, this was the day you deleted your ex-girlfriend's phone number or msn contact, and this was the day I made you overcome your fear of commitment and ask me to move in with you - i'm always going to remember these days, and so will you. these are our anniversaries, and don't you ever forget it. often women are unsure of themselves and of the relationship. they are so unsure of their man's love (especially if he is not interested at marriage), they are so terrified by the rampant adultery that seems to plague committed relationships, and so focused on their appearance that they think gaining ten kilos will mean the end of their love that they cling to "proof" of the success of their relationship, or happier times. if she isn't feeling romance in her everyday life, if she feels threatened by thinner, prettier women, if she senses her man is lukewarm on committment and is drifting towards other women, she takes comfort in the outward signs of approval that she experienced at the beginning of the relationship, and wants to relive them as a way of making herself feel better and encouraging her man to rekindle his romantic behaviour towards her. if she can remind him of the breathless, giddy, love-drunk way he felt that first night they had their first kiss, made love or the first time he talked about wanting to marry her or even having a baby with her, then maybe he'll feel that way again now. sometimes too, committed men make the mistake of thinking that marrying a woman was all he ever needed to do to show his love for her, and that from that day onward romantic gestures, candlelight dinners, flowers, jewelry or old-fashioned dates are not necessary, that she should just "know" he loves her and not fuss about things like candy hearts flowers valentines blahblahblah. while it's true that men show their love mostly by fidelity and support, devotion, protection, by providing for the family and being a steady friend and faithful lover- and not by stuffed animals - it's important to understand that some women need a few more overt gestures from time to time, and may be making a big deal out of anniversaries as a way of telling you so. that's why it's doubly painful if you forget, or if you make it clear that this day means nothing to you at all - you've forgotten a special day and you've proven that you're not attuned to what she needs and wants anymore. no wonder it makes some women so sad sometimes the desire to acknowledge anniversaries is fairly benign. for some women, lonely throughout life and longing for a stable, happy relationship, the anniversary of some special event means that the event was so meaningful to her, so important in psychological way, that she feels a special delight in reliving the event. some people view anniversaries the way they celebrate their child's birthday every year, as a special reminder that something wonderful happened on this day. n sometimes people like to celebrate "milestone" numbers, like five, ten, twenty-five etc as some sort of testament to their success at being married. both men and women like to celebrate these kinds of anniversaries, and doing so is just a charming, romantic thing to do. anniveraries should be special, they should be relatively rare and meaningful in themselves without artificial "romance" being infused into them. they should never be about conquest or victory in a relationship, or a way to bolster self esteem. celebrating the day you got married, once a year, is a nice, romantic thing to do but you will only dilute the meaning of "special days" if you insist on celebrating "monthaversaries" or the anniversary of the first time he let you leave a toothbrush at his place. realize that a gentle touch is always better than a forced hand, and that relationship has to be about more than days circled on a calendar or memories of times past. remember too that there's often more going on when she insists on celebrating special days than you might initially think. what does being 'officially' together actually imply? is it even nessesary or will it jus be understood? and then again, if she insists that anniveraries are not nessasary..does she really mean what she say? you never know. what do i say? a guy should just give her a real anniversary to celebrate every year.

amazingly, as rick grew up, they found that he had a fully functional brain. hence his father raised maney to have a computer built just so his son could communicate with the world. and it was when rick was 15 that he wanted to participate in a charity run. as he wanted to raise funds for those who are disabled like him. his dad, dick, to enable his son to lead as normal a life as possible, made his wish come true. and from then on, they have ran, cycled and swam thousands of miles across america. the dad was 59years old mind you. the love of this father for his son is boundless. As they say, the dad is the 'body' and his son is the 'heart' the video was just... inspirational, amazing, incredible, touching... ya those kind of things u feel when watching these kind of videos. and it puts everything in perspective. maybe it was due to everyone around me. but as i watched it, i just wished the video would end. for once i was tearing uncontrollably. someone's lousy makeup was oso smudged wor. lol. and as rick can type via a special computer, and when asked what he would like to give his dad, rick said "The thing I'd most like is that my dad would sit in the chair and I would push him once." Treasure what we have now i guess. and here's only part of the video i could find... James | 6:56 PM Wednesday, August 23, 2006
everyday going to school at 830. attend lectures and tutorials that the professors just talk to themselves and go at such a pcae that u can just listen and try to catch up and yet cant even think things out in your mind. and they cover the equivilent of 3 subjects in 1hour. then its home to catch up with many tutorials and trying to mug for subjects like physics, maths, material science, life sciences, econs and astronomy. 6 major modules as compared to our 5 subjects in jc. and every fucking thing is related to maths and physics. and then, there are some topics that i've never even taken and those idiots teach on the assumption that everyone knows his/her stuffs already. and to add to that... with a almost 3 years hiatus... all the guys i know and got to know in uni are having a hard time getting into the mugger mode. oh but at least my class has a few babes. what the fuck is going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it only occeured to me what i had said when i heard it out of my own mouth. but honestly, wouldn't a bed of daisies, or orchids or anything without pricks be so much nicer to sleep on? does anyone know what love is. its probably at its best when unrequited, salvaging it from the messy reins of reality. maybe thats why its the noblest emotion of all, tho i daren't say i speak from experience. it must hurt knowing that its so perfect because it could or might exist, like a spectre in the corner of one's eye. but if you try to look at it, it'll disappear. so why love. i say cause we treate it like a game. you just keep opposing and questioning because you don't want to win as much as you don't want it to end. it is the joy of going against hatred. and you feel love most intensely the moment it is taken away from you. constantly having but not wanting and wanting but not having. you buy your ticket into love and when you get back into again, you suddenly find it hard to write the next line. time to go town for some entertainments James | 12:27 PM Sunday, March 26, 2006
went to to the newly revamped cathay ciniplex. the hall was really spacious and everything was cool. too bad no shops were open yet so only the 5th and 6th floors had people as the cinemas were there. excellent hilarious movie. a must-watch with your other half. don't waste it watching wif frens! is there a tripp in everyone of us spoilt brat? sarah jessica parker's grey eyes were fabulous... den went to tis corner coffeehouse along selegie rd. don't go there man, thou it's always crowded but tthe drinks are dame diluted and service is bad.

-v for vendetta- seems more fashionable than radical. the idea of a terrorist-as-hero is bound to stir controversy and debate. as we have learned... one man’s terrorist is another's freedom fighter. at least it wasn't juz another mainstream boring hollywood show James | 5:40 PM
-underworld:evolution- typical show of vampires vs werewolves. but the vampires are portrayed as so dame useless. kate beckinsale is dame hot though! James | 5:40 PM

-king kong- a adaptation but the best kong i've seen "And lo, the beast looked upon the face of beauty. And it stayed its hand from killing. And from that day, it was as one dead." James | 5:39 PM

again the point was proven that clubbing with ahbengs/lians, baeys and indians altogether is not a wise choice drank alcohol like water and soon that singh was juz sprouting nonsense and wooing every gal on the floor. indian was juz buying bottles of beers in the buckets and chain smoking like the addict he really is. and cheenamen were bringing the house down on the podium. learnt a few moves from all 'em drunks on high. made a fool of ourselves playing some dumb river fish hook game thereafter. gotto rush to office now to settle overdue admin work. pm off on fri so shopping anyone den club? fucking last min shopping like last year again. why must be new clothes on cny?

 tried to go shopping on a sunday but it was so dame crowded. anyway didnt see anything that caught my attention. gonna hav to shop another day! caught a movie which was literally fucking funny. plot ok la, very american-piesh. den went up to the balcony at heerens where it was truth & truth & truth played till past midnite James | 1:16 PM Thursday, January 19, 2006
after 3 days 2 nights... suming up, i'd say we have only had 4hrs of sleep it's been really hectic moving from the hotels to the area of work and racing around singapore at 100km/hr even in small rds. anyway at least we had a successful ending if not it'll have had been all for nought! tdy went queensway and i must hav nvr been there for so long. there were shops that i had nvr seen before. wanted to get a pair of jeans there but nothing juz suited me. but in the end still got a pair... if not cant be i go there get nothing rite. still missing tops and shoes abt 10pm decided to join friends at momo. i had already gotten in and got another fren to help sign my fren in but that fucking doorbitch juz refused entry due to the month of birth being underage?! so fussy. really wtf. we had a table ready, opened 4 bottles shared among 8 gals 6 guys? all freeloaders as only one guy footed the bill. nothing to say abt him... frequent clubber, once in a club he'll always swipe his card like mad. guess no matter how much we tell him not to a siao clubber will nvr change his spots ba. everyone got so high at one point that when we saw 3 sibei chio trans dancing in front of our table. really chio. not joking. a few of us got them to join us and everything just went downhill from then on. ok enough of crapping. finally my ristorante mozzarella pizza is cooked! the only frozen pizza i'd ever eat. heng awarded offs till next week James | 4:47 AM
ok, i'd say go read the book rather then watch this movie! unfortunately, the movie is not even satisfying as a fairy tale set in an enticing, unattainable world as compared to the book.starting is pretty slow though zhang ziyi, gong li and michelle yeoh were all really convincing actresses. couldn't help but feel it would have been more appriopriate if they had cast a japanese as one of the female leads. should be more enticing for guys to catch the show too yeah. and zhang ziyi looked so dame young in the movie! fact: the word "geisha" does not mean "prostitute," as a lot of us ignorantly assume. it actually means "artisan" or "artist" James | 4:29 AM Thursday, January 12, 2006
they're always so pathatic but i have no choice pls let it all be over when i ord don't let whatever happened or happens affect my life givin up on yourself is as good as death looks like i'm almost dead James | 11:35 PM Tuesday, January 10, 2006
caught this epic moviie finally! midnite show lasting about 150mins? world of narnia through a magical wardrobe... the spectacular, climactic battle was yeah... pretty spectacular. then it was down to brecko's at hollandv for breck-fast. chitchatting with old-frens till almost like 5am?! isn't it so much better than clubbing hur gals and guys! juz woke up to a pouring afternoon again! weather nowadays is so good for sleeping in.

january-may - military policeman june-july - slacker august-dec - undergraduate started the new year as a drunk. wth. dame. long island tea rules man! previous record of 9 shots of chivas and freeflow of booze couldnt even beat that drink. ask jess for the content of that drink man! or maybe its juz the way zouk mixes it hur. couldnt believe it! headed down to zouk for the countdown, waited almost two hours for the drinks to be ready (they ran out of jugs?!)... and i believe not even 30mins was up that i was down. first time in my life i tried to stand but couldn't even stand! i can onli recall vaguely wat happened that night. oh but i remember being forced to go home with another drunk in a cab. blabbering non-stop. they didnt allow us to go sup! may all your aspirations turn to reality this new year!

reached raffles hotel and it was a totally different world. people were partying away in a ballroom waltzing away in their suits and gowns. joined the adults at long bar. the bar where the infamous singapore sling was first concocted. so of course we all ordered a glass each. pretty good... with a strong alcoholic content. authentic with the pineapples and cherries. missing those little paper umbrellas though! they also served peanets as snacks there... and the floor was all stewed with a layer of shells as they encourged everyone to throw their shells on the floor! live band was really excellent with seriously good songs and vocals, and the crowd, mostly westerners though, was really spontanous. happening man! cozy excellent place to chill at!!! isnt it funny when asians speak to westeners they suddenly have this slang? yeah it's because i found that if we didnt speak to my canadian and american relatives in a slang, it seems they did not even understood what we were saying. and they're pure westerners being their first time in an asian city so even our language was slightly changed. they didnt know what a handphone was. it became called a cellphone. or even when i wanted to say what the hell... they would be going oh bummer, or asking me why asians were acting like their blacks back in the states... braiding their hair as we saw quite a few at zouk and listening to nowadays mindless rap music (i didnt know what to answer)... etcetcetc. really wth... ps: now that i'm using firefox too, found out that my site wordings are all really unreadable! yeah u ppl knew that right... so i guess this site is best viewed on an IE and 1068 by 1028 pixels! anyone knows how to change the wordings to that it's readable via firefox? drop me a mail yeah? thnx in advance!

since good old merry christmas's in three days time. season of giving is near with the family now packing the goodies and food-preparation for that pre-christmas celebration tmr evening with my dad's extended side and their friends... why not let me list 10 oxymoronic resolutions? 1) i am going to quit clubbing/socialising or even anything remotely connected with that. no more 2pm to 6am. basically: wake up 9am sleep 10pm. with a swim, game of tennis and stint in the gym somewhere in between. 2) i am going to quit all vices. whatever i view as vices. can't believe i have good friends title-ling me a vice-king. whatever 3) i wont touch anything alcoholic (jolly shandy or those 7-11 bottles of liquids included). 4) i am not going to step anywhere near jiak kim street/geylang rd/arab street, except to eat the bar chor mee of course. 5) i will stop listening to all these sleazy rnb songs/techno/dance which teach me all the wrong values in life, i'll start to download opera, broadway, jazz and all. 6i) i'll never be late for school ever again. starting 07 august 2006... 6ii) i'll never ever pon school again. 7) i shall have no evil thoughts anymore when hot chicks walk past me, i'll steer clear of all temptation and make myself as saintly as i can. 8) i do not wish to use the word "fuck" anymore, neither do i wish to use its variation in hokkien. or any vulgar sounding words. fine print: i'm not vulgar though... =) 9) i shall look at football as a totally innocent game of sport and not wish to make a killing out of the match results anymore. stop jioing me idiots! 10) i will only spend $300/month on basic expenses. my mum will think of me as the perfect son if i even manage to keep to half of what i listed above, but hey, life is full of excitement when you keep your parents in the dark over some of your habitual but socially-wrong shenanigans. whoever that reads this, just dont waste time doing new year resolutions. i'm sneezing non-stop now. either the room's too cold or someone's making noise about me now in the kitchen... better go help stuff the groceries into the fridge...

miracles are closer than you think. and so christmas has began early this year for me. a beautiful film showing us the miracle of christmas healing the human soul. a really inspiring show... portraying hope, forgiveness, love and redemption. not to mention the star-studded cast. highly recommended! it was all the way east to fisherman's village. had always loved this place, with the pubs, seafood restaurant, music, sea breeze, not many people.... ok, the atmospher is what makes it so attractive. oh, and i always thought crabs are served either buttered, chilli or black-peppered but try it steamed in xo. oh my goodness, it just brings out the natural sweetness of the crabmeat. excellence.

 i'm living aimlessly now. time is all i have. yet i live in fear. really wtf right. Anyway, i have a issue of Butter vs. Magarine with my family always. if i don't go to the supermarket with them, den yeah... no butter for me. i LOVE Butter yet they feel Magarine is much more healthy. less fattaning/tastier/cheaper u know... why am i saying all these? cause i juz got into an argument over Butter issues juz over supper... yeah..... heard me right man. Now Listen Up! The difference between margarine and butter? Both have the same amount of calories. Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams. Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study. Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods. Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added! Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods. Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years. James | 8:22 PM
 And now, for Margarine... Very high in trans fatty acids... Triple risk of coronary heart disease.. Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) Lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) .... Increases the risk of cancers by up to five fold... Lowers quality of breast milk ... Decreases immune response... Decreases insulin response. And here is the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING! Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance). YOU can try this yourself: purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things: no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something) ... it does not rot or smell differently...because it has no nutritional value, nothing will grow on it...even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast? James | 8:21 PM Sunday, November 06, 2005
