LOVE, Kloudiia

 

 

Do you realise that when you want to clean up a room, you will mess it up first? Before you can organise, you need to un-organise your things.

Bring all the things that need to be sorted out and lay them all in front of you, so that you can look at them and decide how to deal with each item – to store, to throw, or to give away.

You are messing up your place, and suddenly you begin to wonder if you should be doing this after all. Whatever that’s not broken, don’t fix it. But now as you sit there looking at the mess you’ve just created, a tinge of regret swept to your heart.

 

 

He gives his wife a massage each night, because he understands how tired she must be to carry a heavy stomach wherever she goes. 

He wakes up earlier than her to prepare breakfast, so that she can have more beauty sleep.

He lets her have the car while he takes public transport to work, just so that she doesn’t need to be squashed during peak hour.

He cooks for her, because she can’t even fry an egg.

Despite all these, she is in charge of the family finances, because he trust her with the money.

That’s right. My friends and clients have bumped me to do this. So, after some consideration, I’ve decided to just give this a go.

Check out this incredible offer that I’m giving now – but you need to be fast, as it is there for only a very limited time.

Who will benefit from this?

Singles or couples who have been wanting to do something in their love lives, who have had enough issues boggling them or who simply want to change but don’t know how and need a person to show and guide them.

Rules rules and more rules! But much to our dismay and reluctance to follow them, they are everywhere.

Since we can’t beat them, then it’s probably much wiser to follow them, especially for the unspoken ones and in territories where we may be unfamiliar to start with – like love, dating and relationships.

What do we have then? I’ve listed down some that I can think of, like:

1. Do listen. Don’t interrupt or distract.

2. Do dress up. Don’t be too “up-dressed”.

3. Do relax. Don’t be nonchalant.

4. Do be genuinely interested. Don’t act as if you do.

Picture these.

A pair of good friends have been there for each other. Each has their own partner and each is there to provide a listening ear. The friendship that lasted for more than a decade eventually had a turn as life events made it so. The pure platonic friendship suddenly blossomed into a comfortable romantic relationship as they each realised, to their surprise that the person whom they are looking for is just right beside them!

A wedding is planned shortly after they started dating. Afterall, who knows the other party best than himself/herself?

A glimpse at the bottom right-hand corner of my monitor shows 12:20 AM. This means it’s 9 August 2008. This means it’s Singapore’s 42nd birthday. This means it’s my friend’s birthday too!

I picked up my phone and sent her a birthday sms. Happy Birthday Singapore! Happy Birthday (my friend’s name).

One of my annual activities. I mean, those things that I’ll do on an annual basis.

This birthday girl and I used to be pretty close once when we were in our secondary school days. Slowly, as we went on to pursue our studies in different areas and institutions, our distance drifted apart. Still, it doesn’t stop me from remembering her birthday.

“Hi Kloudiia,

I used to have this crush to this particular guy. We met in school, quickly finding out that we have similar interests, and quickly building up a relationship.

It was really sparkling and all that. But then suddenly he became cold, like there was nothing between us. I cannot find what is wrong. We just got more and more apart.

Probably he is very busy. He took whole load of courses and still participating in many CCAs. But really, I thought he liked me.
