Yes, on 1 September 2010, after years of egging on by Stuart, and wanting to follow certain news, I’ve decided to jump on the tree and be one of the twitters!
Follow me on Twitter now and get updates from me. Well, since they are only few liners, expect to get more tweets than posts. I love the stars (my symbol, you know? *wink*) on my profile design, and was trying to change the background colour to pink but somehow it didn’t work. So, have to settle for this then. At least I managed to change the colour of the links to pink. Haha!
Many times, couples quarrel over the most trivial matter. And when they look back at it, they chide themselves for allowing the situation to get out of hand. Stuart and I do have our heaty moments too, but we realise that more often than not, with some bits of humour and a change of perspective, things could be completely different.
When you look at this photo, what do you see? If you see the word FROWN first, then you’re like me! What does this say? I’m no psychologist, just that my mind tends to make some relations and so-called “insights” into things that I observe and take meaning from. In this case, I feel that if you’re like me who first notices the FROWN, could it be that we’re the group who see the cup as half-empty instead of half-full. In other words, are we more pessimistic than optimistic?
Stuart was eating some grapes last night when he asked: ‘How do you describe the sensation of eating grapes?’
‘It’s like spring – the sweetness of it in your mouth, and the crunchiness like the crisp air.’
He popped a few more grapes into his mouth.
‘A bursting of juice all over in your mouth.’ I closed my eyes and sucked my lips together, as if I were the one eating them now.
‘It’s like an explosion of happiness.’
‘Why?’
‘The sweetness of the juice is flowing everywhere in your mouth, and it tastes so good. So that’s happiness.’
I was dining at Sushi Tei the other day with my sister and a friend. The food was satisfying, as usual, and I was glad that the standards have remained. When it was time for dessert, we ordered a serving of salt ice-cream to share among us.
I do my sister a great service now, by likening Jeff Chang to an angel’s voice. Indeed, there can be no false claims about this, if you’ve been to any of his concerts and listened to his live singing.
Last Saturday counted as the third time that I’ve been to Jeff Chang’s concert, and never once was I disappointed. No glitz, no glamour, just pure two and a half hours of unadultered singing and good music.
Me: ‘Yesterday I saw A’s husband, and he commented that I have put on weight! So sad!!!!’
Stuart: ‘Is he still alive?’
Can a couple who has been married for thirty-five years forget how to hold hands? If you’re married, are you and your spouse still holding hands? Or have you also forgotten how to?
Newly married couples don’t need reminding to be physically close. They are like excited puppies that can’t keep their paws off each other. When kids come along, these couples put on their almighty parents suits all day long. This suit comes with all the functions to be the great mummy and daddy–waterproof, many pockets, thick and airy–but loses its appeal when it comes to being the loving spouse. Alas, when parents start donning it, they forget to take it off, even when they go to bed.
It’s more than half a year over, and slightly more than four months before 2010 is wrapping up. When I was in Iowa, I got an email alert from Google, and I was stunned for a little while. It was a link from years ago, when my blog was nominated by readers for the “Most Insightful Blog”, a blog award organised by this community Ping.sg. I don’t know why I am getting this link again in my email, after so many years, but it certainly gave me a jolt back to reality. And that’s why, I’m going to make a resolution here, now, with four and a half months left before finishing 2010. Hey, it’s better late than never, right?
