I love this song.
I still remember that someone sang the Chinese version (by David Tao) to me before. It was very very long ago, on a night when we were chatting online. Suddenly he sang the song and I was surprised (well, a bit shocked too). The warm feeling touched my heart and at that time, I really like him.
So many years later.. now, i still love this song. And I love the English version, by Joanna Wang. The music is the same, the lyrics is still penned by David Tao and has the same meaning.
But the person in my heart is not the same person anymore. My feeling when I listen to this song is different, the face that comes to my mind when the song is played is also different. This time, the feeling is stronger, and its a mixture of happiness, sadness and bitterness. I really love him.
Anh a, this is for you:
王若琳- i love you
I love you
Say we're together baby
You and me
I can only give my life and show you all i am in the breath i breathe
I will promise you my heart and give you all you need if it takes some time
If you tell me you don't need me anymore
That our love won't last forever
I will ask you for a chance to try again
To make our love a little better
I love you
Say we're together, baby
Say we're together, woh~~
I need you
I need you forever baby
You and me
Say you hardly know exactly who i am so hard to understand
I knew right from the start
The way i felt inside
If you read my mind
If you tell you don't need me anymore
That our love won't last forever
I will ask you for a chance to try again
To make our love a little better
I love you
Say we're together, baby
Say we're together, woh~~
I need you
I need you forever baby
You and me
Remember when you used to hold me
Remember when you made me cry
You said you loved me
Oh~~
You did
Yes you do
I love you
Say we're together, baby
Say we're together, woh~~
I need you
I need you forever baby
You and me

Slee
Recently, I have sleeping problems. Just can't sleep!!
I will lie on my bed, counting sheep, listening to soft music, reading books etc...i try every means and ways, but i just CAN'T sleep!!! Argh~~~
Sometimes I will drift off to sleep but I will soon wake up again, and continue to stare at the ceiling, listening to any activity out of my room (which is nearly zero, cause its so late at night). My brain starts to wander again, and i will start thinking again...all the problems come back to me...and i can't sleep anymore... a vicious cycle :P
Now i have flu, and i m taking flu medicine, which makes me drowsy and able to sleep. Tried that last night, popped 1 pill before i shower and within 30 mins, i m knocked out. But as the medicine wore off, i woke up at 4am again.
Hours clocked on 26/5/08: 5 hrs
How can i sleep well??? Any recommendations?

Short homecoming, party, family...& a lot more!!
Last wkend, I flew back home to celebrate Mummy's and Edwin's birthdays. It was a big big surprise for Mama :) The look on her face when she saw me was INDESCRIABLE. Being a mother, the first thing she said was ,"OMG! Did something happen to you in HCM that makes you come home suddenly?" Heehee, it is just to surprise her and spend time with her :)
Agenda: To celebrate Mummy's and Brother's bdays
Duration: 830pm Friday till 12noon Sunday
I mmust attribute this to Bro's generous sponsorship :) Thanks!!
Edwin's 21st bday party was at Aquamarine @ Marina Mandarin. He invited the whole family plus his sch frens > a party of 20. As soon as everyone settled down, we began to 'attack' the food. When i say attack, i really mean it! Coz we were so hungry and could not resist the temptation of food...glorious glorious food~~
I was Edwin's PA, event organizer, planner, camera lady and even spokeswoman for the day. And i must say that my 'Client' is pleased with my A *** contribution :)

Picture is a bit blur...but its me and Mummy :)

Cutting the cake. Edwin specially ordered a strawberry shortcake for Mummy :)
I like this pic the most! See how Mummy holds my hand while she blew the candles.
Granny's 4 diamonds (as she calls us): Edwin, me, Jon, Geri
Edwin handing out "Thank You" gifts to everyone
Sharing a strawberry
It was a great party > sumptous food, wonderful ambience, fantastic company and attentive service from the restaurant (who took care of our whims and needs).
Family gatherings are really enjoyable and fun. Its a great way to gather together and chit-chat, filling in each other on the details and happenings, to savour tasty food together. And most of all, I am sure the older generation would love to see their children, grandchildren be together (as we are often busy with our own daily lives).
Kinship is the most important in the world!

Reminisence
It is weird how I reminisence some things and my heart still flutters...hehehe...last wkend, i had the chance to re-live a date which i would never forget... at a beach resort..
I still vividly remember the first time we went there, it was impromptu and by a cab. It took us more than 1 hr to reach there and we were exhausted (in addition of a long day's work). We spent the whole wkend (sat and sun) there. Strolling along the beach, eating fresh seafood with ice-cold Heineken, lying on the chairs and just listening to the waves and feel the sea breeze. And of coz, enjoy the cafes there (something not to be missed in VN). All these are even more perfect when you have a perfect companion :)
Last wkend, we went to the beach again. This time it was planned (well... by him, and i was kept in the dark till the last min) and we ride there instead of cab. According to him, it is to 'enjoy the scenery on the way, and also to stop for coffee and rest - a nice experience'. So off we went, and it took us 4 hrs to reach!
The weather was perfect, light drizzle accompanied by warm sunshine. Not too sweltering hot, not too wet and gloomy too. Just nice :) Coffee, seafood (lots of prawns, crabs and even baby lobsters), jokes, laughter...very very enjoyable... the best experience was on Sunday morn, when we went a bit further to buy seafood from a wholesaler, and it was cooked by them and packed into bags. We took the seafood, found a nice spot along the coastline and finished everything with bottles of Heineken.
There were many families there too, parents brought their kids out for family gathering. Adults were chatting and eating, while children enjoyed the sun, beach, sea and games. As a 'spectator', i also feel the happiness and contentment radiating from them. Happiness in life is really made up from simple pleasures :)
Lying on the reclining chairs, listening to the waves, enjoying the sea breeze, chatting with him, sharing feelings...I savour every minute and I guess, I will never tire of it.... :)

Favourite Quotes
Recently, I have the habit of reading and notting down quotes...heehee...another phase la...
I found these online:
"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
"You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving."
"You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly."

Happy Birthday, Piggy!
Mummy and Piggy
Daddy and Piggy
Mummy bought me a pink tulip...haha...my fave flower :)
Family dinner...I love this restaurant, they moved place and I managed to locate the new address!! Their dishes are delicious and healthy, using chinese herbs and ingredients..yum yum :P
That day, it was a big match day too - Chelsea VS Man Utd. There was a live screening of the match at Clarke Quay.
Being the ever-loyal MU fan, Dad wanted to watch and cheer for his team. But it was pig day so he could not catch the match on tv at home. In order not to disappoint him, I booked a table in front of the projector screen for him to watch the match after dinner. Accompained by Mummy, me, yummy chicken wings and drinks, Daddy was a happy man that night (a bit sad when MU lost la).
**********************************************************************************************
If you know me well enough...you will know that pig day is never celebrated in one day...haha...my celebrations and dinners will last before and after the actual pig day. Especially since I am rarely in town now, I cant wait to catch up with all my frens...heehee...
Dinner with my dears from NUS --
Back (from left): Wenjia, TingTing, Jingyuan
Jingyuan and I: she prefers my long curly locks...heehee :P
Tingting and I: Ah...a wonderful fren...heehee, we share a lot together *winkz*
Wenjia and I: Can't have any gathering without her...we are a group of 4!!My dears were so nice..they asked me to pick the dinner place and treated me to glorious glorious food...yummy...it has been ages since I ate Sichuan food and I had my fill that night. As Wenjia is from Sichuan, we had a good feast of all the famous Sichuan food...yummy :)

Love is a package
This came to my mind one day :)
When you love someone...
You enjoy the happiness,
Also share the sadness.
You love his strong points,
But must also accept his flaws.
Love is a package, we cannot only enjoy the sweetness and forget the bitterness.
**********************************************************************************************
A quote that I like:
"Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things."
~Paul (A.D. First Century) 1 Corinthians 13:4-7~
