I was on my way to POE’s coach training last evening. While walking towards the MRT station, I felt that something was just not right.
Well, I was feeling slightly hungry that’s true, but it’s not the usual kind of hunger pangs you see.
Yeah, it’s my dear gastric having an impending riot inside my body! Oh no!
How? It’ll be another 30 minutes before I get to buy something and eat! It was at this instance that I thought of what my mom used to say to me “Take care of your health. If you destroy your body, no matter how rich you are, you won’t be happy cos you can’t get to enjoy it”
“Hi Kloudiia,
I have fallen in love with a ex-colleague in my previous job. I was her direct supervisor then. I left my previous job both for a better career move and to court her after my departure from the same company.
We have lunched and watched movies together. She claimed that she only take me as a friend and hope to continue that way. She does not have any boyfriend at the moment. I have not been seeing her for more than 3 mths even though we are still keeping in contact via email and sms.

This afternoon I suddenly thought of this question and I found myself dumb-founded.
“What have I been doing last week? What did I accomplish?”
I can’t answer it! My mind went complete blank. Like this

I had to go back to my calendar. Ok, I had some appointments.
Then, what?
Ok, I was doing what I had to do daily – blog, preparing my book for launch, doing some research.
Then, what?

“Kloudiia Wonder if anyone who can help me on this…What’s your opinion on religion and relationship? My girlfriend is a Christian and I am not. She is under lots of pressure as her parents want a Christian family. I know myself well enough that I will never be a christian. Is there any way to develop further?” - AN
Dear AN
Hmm, being in an inter-faith relationship sure has its own set of challenges and issues to tackle.
So, you are still feeling grumpy even after a long post on being dateless on Valentine’s Day?
Or, you do have someone in mind whom you like to date on Valentine’s Day, but really are clueless on how to start the process? Well, hope this part in this Valentine’s Day Specials series can do you some help.
Let’s start!
10 Tips & Tricks To Ace That Date!

1. Start now.
You see, you need to let the girl have a good experience of going out with you first before making that big decision to spend this special evening with you.
“Hey Kloudiia,
I’m 24 going 25 and there’s this colleague whom I have since fallen for and she is 5 years my senior. Started to think it may just a phase, but then I cant seem to let her out of my mind. I took everything about her meticulously, like I’m all prepared to be there if she ever needs my help or stuff like that.
But then again, I have been wooing her for 6 months now, and my colleagues and friend who were supportive intially has now gone on to tell me to give it up as she is unreceptive.
So you don’t have a date, yet? Well, fret not for there are still two weeks away to the V Day. Â
But what if V Day is finally here and you’re still dateless? How can you handle that?Â
I have a way…
The first question that you should not beasking yourself is am I so unattractive? But rather this:
What’s the big deal?
Stay at home, watch TV, read a good book, listen to the radio, chat with friends on the forum, communicate with listen to your parents’ stories (I’m sure they have lots to tell you but never had the chance to) etc.
Mad cat or lovely cat?
You tell me your decision at the end of this post.Â
Have you heard of people saying don’t bring your anger to bed? Do you agree? Â
I agree. But I wasn’t the one who said that, though I’m one of the avid perpetuators.

Brenda had a “fuming” nickname in her msn tonight. “Hmm, something’s gone wrong. Must be” I thought.
So I started to chat with her, and this was what went on (the words may differ slightly as I’m writing it out from memory)
K: “Wha, so angry? Cool down girl”
Real giving is when we give to our spouses what’s important to them,
whether we understand it, like it, agree with it, or not.
Just when I wrote about the importance of loving your partner the way he/she wants to be loved in the post – For Him It’s Hugging. For Me…
This quote nicely ends that post in a subtle yet beautiful tone.
“Kloudiia I’ve been with my boyfriend for nearly 5 years. We had plans to ROM (edit: ROM means to be legally register your marriage) soon. he is an intelligent, witty and humorous guy. Throughout our 5 years together, I’ve experienced the best things in life. He took me on overseas trips, at least once a year, open up my horizons and enrich my life. But I wasn’t sure if he is really the one for me.
