Fireproof

Having watched Fireproof for 2 consecutive days, I must nudge everyone to watch this too. Be it in love, single or outta love, this show tunes us to the real meaning of love.

Must-watch if you haven’t catch that yet.

Here are the few quotes which I particularly LOVE from the movie:

• Woman is like a rose, if you treat her well, she will bloom. If you don’t, she will wilt.
• Rule #1: Show thoughtful actions even without rewards.
• Rule #2: Whatever you put your time, energy and money into, it’ll become more important to you.
• Rule #3: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry (James 1:19)
• Rule #4: Fireproof (a relationship) doesn’t mean fire will never come. But that when fire comes, you will be able to withstand it.
• When a man is trying to win the heart of a woman, he studies her. He learns her likes, dislikes, habits and hobbies. But when he wins her heart and marries her, he often stops learning about her. If the amount he studies about her before marriage was equal to a high school degree, he should continue to learn until he gains a college degree, a master’s degree and ultimately a doctorate degree. It’s a lifelong journey that draws his heart ever closer to hers.
• Rule #5: You can’t show love cos you can’t give what you don’t have. I can’t truly love someone until I understand what love really was.
• Rule #6: Don’t just follow your heart cos your heart could be deceived. But you gotta lead your heart.

The full splendor of this movie awaits those who have 2 hours to spare. Enjoy and be blessed!

↓ Really cute pictures I found! ♥

Awww… So sweet…

hmm… how can I do without…

the icing that makes everything perfect!

Last but not least, love yourself! ♥

All Roll Into One

It has taken a toll on my peanut memory trying to recall what happened over the past months that are worth recording. Thank God for photos! It aids greatly in the regurgitation process

Perth- June

Isn’t it amazing? Total distance driven: 1272km!!!

Such an awesome trip with the 2 boys, till now, I still reminisce the cool weather, awesome adventure and sights.

Shaw Tower-June

This is one kinda must-try ice cream when you are in Bugis area. It has lotsa funny flavours. I really mean outta the world flavours like black sesame, apple pie, sarsi, grapefruit and granny’s favourite which  I have no clue what kinda flavour that is!!! Anyhow, it’s cheap and yummy so a definite must-try when you’re at Shaw Tower!

Have you seen a more expensive box of grapes than these? A whooping $128 for a box of Japanese grapes. I recalled someone telling me something like it’s super sweet and the core has a tinge of red wine. Don’t know how true is that till I try..

The most special homecooked seafood dinner I have ever tasted. It came as a more-than-pleasant surprise after my Perth trip. *beams* √ one more point to the score board

Purple sweet potato

Oops taken only when the flower is about to wither. √ one point for surprising me with the flowers. √ another one  for making sure that your presence is felt while you are away for your business trip.

Raffles Place during lunch

Body Shop launched their new product, Deep Sleep Dreamy Pillow & Body Mist at Chervon House. The highlight of this launch is the POWER NAP CONTEST! Check out that uncle sleeping like a dead log on the elevated bed. I swear this is not an act. I am dead certain he has been sleeping for quite a while before I came. Too bad I wasn’t daring enough to give it a shot. But this is extremely amusing for me!

Yummilicious lunch along Circular Rd. Subsequent lunches were yummy as well but too hungry and tired to snap anymore pictures. LOL

Saddle Club- August

Hidden in the lush greenery with fabulous ambience and real horses in sight, it’s sure a delight for two.

√ one more point for bringing me here.

Bakerzin August Promo!

Panna cotta with strawberries!

Tutti fruitti

All these goodness are going for half price! Oops, it’s only in the month of August. Hope you had your fills already!

Last but not least,

eCR Status: The eCR SYSTEM is not accessible to you because you have graduated. CONGRATULATIONS! (GRD)

YAYNESS!!!!

I am finally a graduate! After so long, all the pains of going for lectures, feeling guilty when I miss class or tests and even prelims, the months of mugging like a nerdy slug and panic during and after exam, IT IS FINALLY OVERRRRRRR!!!

To add on to my exuberance, this year’s results is the BEST of my 3 yrs in SIM! Though prior to this, each time I walked out of the exam hall, I had the feeling I was gonna flunk it, the results say otherwise! Thank God for pulling me through those shady mugging period. When all joy is gone, His omnipresence is one good reason to stay afloat. Praise God! For
I alone could not have achieve all these. Surely, unmistakably, it must be His goodness and doings.

Thank God oh-so-much!!! With that, I shall empty my cupboard of any remnant-notes! Yayness~

3 cheers to weekends! I never knew how to appreciate it till workload always threaten to crush me during weekdays. Alright, it’s sleeping time. I will force myself to sleep till noon. Wooohooooooo!

Dream a Little Dream of Me

Good times are fondly reminisced. But they always seem so short.

In facing the upcoming week, I told myself I need another retreat soon. Am thoroughly looking forward to 30 August! Food date with PJ and family and the rest!

Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm.

Dream stone fairy! Gift from colleague L who brought it all the way back from London! I love the blury-looking fairy. There’s a slight resemblance, ain’t it? With this fairy sitting on my office desk, no wonder I’m dreaming in broad daylight.

Stars shining bright above you;
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you?
Birds singing in the sycamore tree.
Dream a little dream of me.

Say nighty-night and kiss me;
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me.
While I’m alone, blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me.

Stars fading but I linger on, dear—
Still craving your kiss.
I’m longing to linger till dawn, dear,
Just saying this…

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you—
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.

Stars fading but I linger on, dear—
Still craving your kiss.
I’m longing to linger till dawn, dear,
Just saying this…

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you—
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.

Note to self: After the great tiff, I made a promise to myself, never to let the same century-old issue affect us. It’s not worth it. Not of my time, attention and effort. Period.

With Open Window

Walking on Sunshine

 

So Strange

I shouldn’t be feeling this way about you. Wasn’t it long over? Now it’s making me feel weird and possessive?

So strange, I’ve done this a million times before. But today, I added way too much cinnamon powder into my coffee.

Why do things turn peculiar overnight?

The Four Loves

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one. Not even an animal. Wrap it carefully with hobbies and luxuries, avoid all entanglements and keep it safe in the casket of your selfishness. But in the casket – safe, dark, motionless, airless – it will change. It will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable".

C.S Lewis The Four Loves

The Prophet ~ Love by Khalil Gibran‏

Then said Almitra, “Speak to us of Love.”

And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said:

When love beckons to you follow him,

Though his ways are hard and steep.

And when his wings enfold you yield to him,

Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.

And when he speaks to you believe in him,

Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.

For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.

Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,

So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.

He threshes you to make you naked.

He sifts you to free you from your husks.

He grinds you to whiteness.

He kneads you until you are pliant;

And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast.

All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life’s heart.

But if in your fear you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure,

Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor,

Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.

Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;

For love is sufficient unto love.

When you love you should not say, “God is in my heart,” but rather, I am in the heart of God.”

And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.

But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:

To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.

To know the pain of too much tenderness.

To be wounded by your own understanding of love;

And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;

To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;

To return home at eventide with gratitude;

And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

That’s When I Love You.

When you have to look away

When you don’t have much to say

Thats when I love you

I love you, just that way

To hear you stumble when you speak

Or see you walk with two left feet

Thats when I love you

I love you, endlessly

And when you’re mad cos you lost a game

Forget I’m waiting in the rain

Baby i love you,

I love you anyway

Heres my promise made tonight

You can count me for life

Thats when i love you

When nothing you do can change my mind

The more I learn, The more I love

The more my heart cant get enough

Thats when I love you,

When I love you no matter what

So when you turn to hide your eyes

Cause the movie it made you cry

Thats when I love you

I love you a little more each time

And when you can’t quite match your clothes

Or when you laugh at your own jokes

Thats when I love you

I love you, more than you’ll know

And when you forget that we had a date

Or that look that you get when you show up late

Baby I love you, I love you anyway

Heres my promise made tonight

You can count me for life

Thats when i love you

When nothing you do can change my mind

The more I learn, The more I love

The more my heart cant get enough

Thats when I love you,

When I love you no matter what

Thats when I love you

When nothing baby

Nothing can make you change my mind

The more I learn, The more I love

The more my heart cant get enough

Thats when I love you,

When I love you no matter what

No matter what

Nothing Lasts Forever

Nothing expresses what I am feeling now better than the 3 songs below. So so apt!

It is so easy to see
Dysfunction between you and me
We must free up these tired souls
Before the sadness kills us both

I tried and tried to let you know
I love you, but I’m letting go
It may not last, but I don’t know
Just don’t know

If you don’t know,
Then you can’t care
And you show up
But you’re not there
But I’m waiting
And you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you

Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing lasts forever, but be honest, babe
It hurts, but it may be the only way

A bed that’s warm with memories
Can heal us temporarily
The misbehaving only makes
The ditch between us so damn deep

Built a wall around my heart
Never let it fall apart
Strangely I wish secretly
It would fall down while I’m asleep

If you don’t know,
Then you can’t care
And you show up,
But you’re not there
But I’m waiting
And you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you, babe

Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing lasts forever, but be honest, babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

Though we have not hit the ground
It doesn’t mean we’re not still falling,
Oh, I want so bad to pick you up
But you’re still too reluctant to accept my help
What a shame, I hope you find somewhere to place the blame
But until then the fact remains

Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes you so hard to stay
Nothing lasts forever, but be honest, babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing lasts forever, but be honest, babe
It hurts but it may be the only way
