I thought this was really beautifully written.. Take some time to read and you will know how true it is... Just something to share..
A Wonderful Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend
more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses
and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more
degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts,
yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too
little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired,
read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk
too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years
to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and
back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We
conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but
not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the
atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan
more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We
build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies
than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small
character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days
of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one
night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from
cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom
window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring
this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this
insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember: Spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not
going to be around forever.
Remember: Say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe,
because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember: To give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is
the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a
cent.
Remember: To say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones,
but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it
comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person
will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak!
Give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the
moments that take our breath away.

Today, my dear dear flew back from Abu Dhabi after 2 days stay… Dear dear says the weather in Abu Dhabi is terrible because it is a scorching 44deg C if you walked out of the hotel.. Immediately when you leave the air con place, it feels like you are in a heat wave.. terrible weather… My dear dear also didn’t eat well because he is probably not used to the food there.. He vomitted after taking a packet of nasi bryani, probably due to indigestion. He was supposed to fly at 10pm and that is Singapore time 2 am. Prior to that, he was unable to sleep.. and he took the sector to fly back so that is a total of 20 odd hours without sleep!!
Anyway, I met dear dear downstairs at his house and we went back home together.. me on half day leave today.. and we unpacked his luggage and had lunch. I drank my meal supplement with mango juice and dear dear ate chicken feet noodle… I never used to like chicken feet but after dear dear taught me how to eat, I started enjoying this delicacy!! Must be braised then it taste nice. Haha
We watched TV for awhile and dear dear went to take a short nap. We were supposed to go back my house to drink soup and then meet Gek kia and Ian. However, I see dear dear so tired and I couldn’t wake him up so we decided to give my mum’s soup a miss. We went to Funan DigiMall to fix dear dear’s lap top. He bought a new laptop at the COMEX show at Suntec City. However, the shop was not opened and we took a cab to Clarke Quay where we are supposed to meet the guys. We saw Gek kia at Liang Court and walked with him to Clarke Quay and Ian was waiting at King Satay. We ordered a lot of food. Sambal KangKong, Sambal Stingray, 36 Assorted Satays, Fried Rice and Fried Chicken. The chickens are really crispy and nice. I had 3 pieces in all!! I also had a lime juice to help me digest all the oily stuff.. haha we chatted for a long while and Ting fang (Gek’s gf) called us to check out if we gonna have coffee. So we called for the bill before moving on for coffee. The waiter passed us a bill and we were shocked by the price. For all the things we ordered, it was only $67.00. How could it be? Later we checked the bill and found that the bill was $120.00. We were indeed very honest to ask them to give us another bill. Haha.. Because Gek says what comes around goes around.. You gain something and you lose something.. haha
We walked around at Clarke Quay and decided to settle at The Coffee Connoisseur. We have a big table with red sofa seats indoor. While waiting, Tingfang and her 2 other friends, Elaine and Xue Na appeared so we had coffee together. Xue Na is getting married on 26th November 2007. Chris is somewhere there too, 24th November 2007. Ian and I went out for a smoke.. so he asked me a question, “why did you choose him?” the first answer that came to my mind was because he is the only guy who is true and sincere about mi.. he really cares for mi and I know he is true to me only.. 2ndly, becoz I love him and I want to be with him… I mean I look at the number of pilot friends… most of them are quite badly reputated for.. with so much temptations, my dear dear has uphold good track records since then… he is someone trustworthy and I should trust him… Ian replied and said, those girls are not worth it.. materialistic and stupid… his ex gf was a stewardess.. my cousin has a stewardess gf before too.. she left him because she found someone richer.. haiz.. not too sure if they are really so materialistic… We chatted happily and soon it was time to go home. I think Clarke Quay is a nice place to hang out so I will come with my friends the next time!!!

Today is the cleaning day!! I spent the morning washing up the laundry and later helped dear dear cleaned his room and packed his stuff.. Luckily, he is smart enough to come in to offer some help! We cleared the junk mails, packed up the wires and did some minor packing for our new house, vacuum the floor and yes, it was all done up by 2pm in the afternoon.
We then spend the day at home, watching TV and we cooked noodles for lunch cum tea break. Haha it was nice… I always loved my dear dear’s cooking. Yummy.. so we decided to go Tampines Mall to shop for mooncakes coz dear dear says he wanna buy some for my mummy before we go for dinner at my place. Sweet little boy.. We shopped around until we saw Bengawan Solo.. They have got quite a variety of mooncakes.. So we bought one Double Yolk Baked skin, Iced skin (Durian), Baked Skin (Durian Filling) and Iced Skin (mango).. Sounds yummy right.. My mum was happy with the mooncakes though she thought it was a bit early for it.. Nevertheless, it is the thoughts that count..
We had dinner and I also start to pack for my junk mails… Too many of them lying in my bedroom on the study table!! Cant stand it.. I took like 45mins to finish packing.. dear dear was so tired after waiting. Then we went back home to rest and relax.. What a Saturday!

Today is Sunday.. My sister ,Karen was saying last night that she might want to go Batam at 8am.. Ridiculous..she doesn’t wake up that early even if her class starts at 8am.. so we thought she is talking rubbish again this time. True enough, our handphones did not ring at 8am.. we slept till 10 plus and woke up. I kept and folded the clothes and keep them in the wardrobe. Dear dear says we can go Vivo City to walk walk. Before that, we went to Golden Landmark to do dear dear’s uniform but the shop was closed. So we decided to go to Bugis to eat Wan Tun Noodle for lunch. We ordered 2 small noodles and a bowl of fried wan tun. The food was delicious but the man had a terrible service attitude and he kept asking dear dear about the Euro Cup score. Disgusting man! After lunch, then we went to Funan Digimall again and it was CLOSED again!! Stupid shop. It is called Memory World.. I wonder how it can survive by closing most of the time. It will end up in Memory lane soon if they don’t buck up! So dear dear carried the heavy laptop and we took 145 to Harbor Front. Vivocity was there!! On the bus, I asked dear dear if he remembers what he says to me when he proposed. So he say, 1) I love you… 2) will you marry me.. and he cant remember the last one.. haha anyway he said I am always no. 1.. when he took out the ring, he says this one is abit small but he promised to get me a bigger one when he got more money… I asked him if he remembers and he say he does.. he will get mi one either before the photoshoot or before the wedding day.. hee.. I am so happy… sometimes, you just cant help but think that the proposal ring is actually very important to a girl because it represents how much sincerity the guy has.. I talked about this with dear dear before but he disagrees.. what is the point of a man giving you a big ring but is fooling around… then I say I am luckier becoz I got a man who dotes on me and yet don’t fool around… hee.. anyway, he promised that he will get mi a bigger one… hee
We walked around the 1st Floor and then went on to the next floor. Vivocity is really big.. There are so many foreign brands. Dear dear says this one looks like the mall they have overseas in big towns. Then we went up to the 3rd floor for a smoke. You can oversee Sentosa from that place. It is nice.. I wanna take a cable car ride to Mount Faber then eat dinner there but dear dear says no… so in the end, he asked if I want to eat Hogsbreath.. I thought it was a great idea.. anyway, I just wanted something nice and ‘ expensive’ to eat… like in a way to pamper myself.. not as though we everyday eat expensive stuff mar… ok … then we started arguing.. dear dear says I am getting materialistic because I want many things.. why do I need to eat expensive stuff and he doesn’t.. even when he goes abroad, he doesn’t eat expensive stuff either… but I am thinking.. since we are together , so why not go for places with nice ambience and nice food.. expensive but we don’t do it everyday mar… anyway, we decided to just close the topic.. if not, it will become tsunami level kind of issue…
We went to Candy Empire to buy some sweets and chocolates.. Dear dear very nice… he just let me buy whatever I want to buy… so sweet of him.. after that we decided to go back to East for dinner coz we have finished shopping but itz still too early for dinner there.. so we turned back to East… Dear dear asked if I wanna eat at 85 market… hmm.. there got many nice food.. so I said ok… then we were on our way there… hee dear dear ordered 3 BBQ chicken wings, Ngo Hiang (Prawn Fritters), 2 bowls of minced meat noodles and 2 cups of sugar cane.. haha… so nice.. so I suddenly thought that itz not the cost of the food…not the ambience of the place.. actually, it matters to me most who is eating with you…everything taste so nice when I am with dear dear.. sometimes he make me so fed up with him.. but most of the times, he make mi so in love with his character….yah.. so I think I should not grumble too much having a bf like him… hee
He dotes on mi a lot… he cares for mi a lot.. Ginny says I have almost everything… a caring husband, an ok career.. basically life is beautiful… is it dangerous when life gets too beautiful? To me, yes it is… somehow when things are too beautiful.. I am worried that they don’t last…….Am i thinking too much??

Everyone of us should live with Dreams..
Itz our Dreams that make us different from all Other Living Creatures..
