Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore

Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore
Bon Jovi (Feat. Leanne Rimes)

It might be hard to be lovers
But it's harder to be friends
Baby, pull down the covers
It's time you let me in
Maybe light a couple candles
I'll just go ahead and lock the door
If you just talk to me baby
Till we ain't strangers anymore

Lay your head on my pillow
I sit beside you on the bed
Don't you think its time we say
Some things we haven't said
It ain't too late to get back to that place
Back to where, we thought it was before
Why don't you look at me
Till we ain't strangers anymore

Sometimes it's hard to love me
Sometimes it's hard to love you too
I know it's hard believing
That love can pull us through
It would be so easy
To live your life

With one foot out the door
Just hold me baby
Till we ain't strangers anymore

[Solo]

It's hard to find forgiveness
When we just turn out the light
It's hard to say you're sorry
When you can't tell wrong from right
It would be so easy
To spend your whole damn life
Just keeping score
So let's get down to it baby
There ain't no need to lie

Tell me who you think you see
When you look into my eyes
Lets put our two hearts back together
And we'll leave the broken pieces on the floor
Make love with me baby
Till we ain't strangers anymore

We're not strangers anymore
We're not strangers
We're not strangers anymore

How Ready Are You To Fall In Love Again?

Was reading a post from Elizabeth Marie and I came across this:

Falling in love can be one of the most beautiful experiences we will ever have. But things don’t always work out according to plan. As the glow of your love fades into a distant memory, you might find yourself wondering how you could have been so wrong about love, and how sure are you that you’ve found it again. Letting go isn’t easy, but it may be worth after the pain. Who knows? A better person may appear & bring sparkles to your life once more. 

Below are some ways for those who are healing from a break-up & it tells you that how you've moved on with your past relationship and are ready to fall in love again. 


1. You aren’t constantly asking yourself “What if…” It’s normal to look back on past relationships and briefly wonder what could have been different, but if you find yourself permanently rooted in coulda, woulda, shoulda land, it might be a sign that you aren’t ready to move on. There are always going to be things you wish you could change, but it’s impossible to go back in time. Coming to peace with where you are in life and in love isn’t easy, but it’s worth it to be free from the past.

2. You are totally content on your own. When a relationship ends, a knee jerk reaction is to jump head first into the dating game. Sometimes though, it’s best to hold back. Instead of worrying about how to act on a first date and all the stress that comes with dating, take some time to focus on yourself and regroup. This way, when you do meet someone special, you’ll know you want them simply because they’re awesome, not as a distraction to your broken heart.

3. You are being honest with yourself. You know what one of the worst feelings ever is? Dating a guy who is great/amazing/wonderful…only to know deep down in your heart that you just aren’t over your ex yet. Timing really is everything in this situation-no matter how badly you wish you were further along in the healing process, it can’t be rushed.

4. You are open with friends and family. Sure, you don’t have to tell your inner circle everything, but generally speaking if you feel good about something, you want to share it. Introducing a new love to those who are most important to you solidifies to them that you have moved on-and want them to move forward as well.

5. You aren’t hoping for a reconciliation. Some breakups, specifically divorces, are particularly painful and take a toll on every aspect of your life. Even if the relationship was clearly wrong for you, in the back of your mind you might find yourself wishing you and your ex would get back together because it would just be easier.But if you are truly ready to fall in love again, you won’t give up until you’re free from the past and have broken through to the other side.

**Does it trigger your thoughts after reading? How ready are you now? :) 
"When you meet someone special, you'll know. Because, your heart will beat more rapidly and you'll start to smile for no reason." 

Cheers!

坚强



在人生之中总会有失败的时刻。把失败当做是学习的过程。把心看得开。累了就休息一下。跌倒了再爬起来。振作起来,展现出全新的自己。献出更坚强的我。

Girlfriends

Finally, I had a whole day out with my girls. Ever since we've graduated from our diploma, our schedules have been hectic. Meeting out has lessen, barely a whole day out like this. Most of the time, it's just a dinner date.

Happy! Happy! 
It was a day well spent! :D

Here's my #ootd for the day.


Haven't been wearing out my black skirt for a long time. Therefore, I decided to wear it today before it collects more dust. Haha! 

Met my ladies at 2plus in the afternoon & had Tim Ho Wan for lunch. 
It's our first time trying their dim sum. Queue wasn't long. 
And I would like to say, "THE FOOOD IS YUMMMY!" 


Baked Char Siew Paus, Glutinous Rice & Ma Lai Gao (Malay Steam Cake) are the MUST TRY items! However, if you are tempted to get the yam sago as dessert, please don't! It was a disappointment. :( Other than that, it was good & I'm bound to return for their dim sum! 

** Rating: 8.5/10 

Had a slow stroll around Town to digest our heavy tummy & then off to Brunetti at Tanglin Mall for some sweet treats! ❤ 



This is one of my fav place for macarons! 
Recommended this place to them here since they like macarons too! 

A pity, Nutella flavor wasn't available & I didn't get to eat salted caramel too. Boohoo :'( BUT! It's alright! Because I get to tried other flavors too! ((: 
Passion Fruit, Mango, Chocolate, Espresso, Rasberry. 
YUMS! Total satisfaction! 满足感 deep deep! :P 

And here's their ice-cream corner. Many varieties for you to choose. 
A pity that the 3 of us were too full for it. Gotta skip it. :(


Till next time! (: 

The 3 of us spent weee hours in Brunetti. Had our girl talks as usual & I came to realize, how much have we grown since primary school till now. Friends for a decade & even more. Topics have begin to mature, where we began to start having conversations about life, future, career, etc. It changed. Well, it's just signs that we are all getting older. Haha! 

Done with the sweet treats, next stop, recommended California Pizza to them at Forum Shopping Mall. 




Mouth-watering eh? Hehe! 
Mushroom Soup, Caesar Salad & Peking Duck Pizza. 
Nomz Nomz Nomz all the way!! 
This is one of my favorite place for pizza dine-in. The other location will be at Peperoni Pizzeria (Les Amis). 

To rate this, this gotta be 9/10

After the heavy indulgence for the entire day, walking is a MUST to reduce our sins! HAHAHA!
Last destination for the night: Esplanade. 
Just in time, we manage to catch the laser show as well. 
Strong breeze, good seats, beautiful scenery, great company, ends the perfect evening! 


Got home & see whats on my table!

Hooooray! 
My hellokitty screen protector which I've ordered from Ebay has arrived! It was quicker than I thought! The delivery came 1 week earlier than I expected. Awesome! 

LOVES ❤
A Happy Wednesday indeed! (:

There's A Place For Us - Carrie Underwood




"There's A Place For Us" 
Carrie Underwood 

There's a place out there for us
More than just a prayer or anything you've ever dreamed of.
So when you feel like giving up
Cause you don't fit in down here
Fear is crashing in, close your eyes and take my hand yeah.

We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.
It's written in the stars that shine above
A world where you and I belong
Where faith and love will keep us strong
Exactly who we are is just enough
There's a place for us, there's a place for us.

When the water meets the sky
Where your heart is free and hope comes back to life
When these broken hands are whole again
We'll find what we've been waiting for
We were made for so much more

We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.
It's written in the stars that shine above
A world where you and I belong
Where faith and love will keep us strong
Exactly who we are is just enough
There's a place for us, there's a place for us

So hold on, hold on
There's a place for us

We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.
It's written in the stars that shine above
A world where you and I belong
Where faith and love will keep us strong
Exactly who we are is just enough
Exactly who we are is just enough
There's a place for us

Bring Me The Night - Sam Tsui & Kina Grannis



"Bring Me The Night"
Sam Tsui (feat. Kina Grannis)
Measuring days in the spaces between our goodbyes
Learning to wait through the endless parade
Of our same old see-you-next-time's
But when I close my eyes, the miles melt away
Like you're here in my arms at the end of the day

So bring me the night, send out the stars
Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky, and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
That brings me to you
You

Swear I don't know if the days are as slow as they seem
Wondering when you'll be with me again and this
Finally can be more than just a dream
But when I close my eyes, I want only to stay
Where the farthest you are is a heartbeat away

So bring me the night, send out the stars
Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky, and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
That brings me to you

And it's enough, knowing you are calling to me
While we're dreaming beneath the same moon
All it takes is imagining you so that I can get through
One more long and lonely day

So bring the night, tell me it's near
Give me the chance to to pretend to you're here
Darken the sky and light up the moon,
Please bring it soon

So bring me the night, send out the stars
Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky, and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night,
Bring me the night,
Bring me the night,
Bring me the night
That brings me to you

Exam

Wake up. Eat. Study. Sleep.
Here's my daily routine now for this entire week. Grounding myself at home, mugging hard for my exam.

I'm a practical person, never a person who does well for theory.
Therefore, I never like exams, never LOOOOVE it.
That stress & tension that occurs inside you, whooosh! Can simply drive you nuts!

To lighten my mood a little, I pop some petit plus cheese flavor snack to ease my hungry growling stomach. This is my all time favorite snack! Once you put that ONE biscuit in your mouth, you never wanna stop. Hehehe! Love it! ❤



Go try if you have not!
Trust me, you will fall in love with this snack! Especially for those who are cheese lovers!
Alright, back to mugging for now till Sat!
All the best to me for my paper! (:


CHAOS!

Bonding with Lovelle

Gonna miss this naughty babe when her mummy returns from her vacation tomorrow. During this 10 days with her as a role of an aunt has become a routine for me & I've grown so attached to her. Checking her from morning to night, carrying her & patting her to sleep, making sure that she sleeps well. Changing shifts with Grandma, taking turns to look after this naughty babe. The moment I woke up from my sleep, the first thing I would do is to walk out of my room and look for her. This little princess of ours has indeed liven up our house with her excited & happy screams during play time, cranky cries, hungry cries, attention craving cries to be carried, adorable big smiles that melt our hearts during chat time, and her superb acting skill when she pretends to be sleepy so that she gets to be carried & rocked to sleep but end up with big big eyes looking innocently at us. Will definitely be missing her noise till the end of the month. (:

Looking after her has made me realize it's indeed not an easy task to look after a baby (feeding her every 3 hours, change diapers, bathe her, attend to her needs, etc.). But watching her growing healthily, being happy is what all parents would wish for for their child. All the exhaustion that you had will naturally go away. And during this journey with your child, you will graudally learn & begin to appreciate your parents more for all the efforts they have done looking after you.

So, start showing your appreciation to your parents, show them your love to them & spend as much time as you can if you have not. Don't regret when it's too late.

Words from her aunt (姑姑) ❤

Finger linking good!

Change in Hairstyle

For 5 years, I've been having straight hair with bangs like this...


Because of my thick hair, I perspire & get sticky easily which made me very uncomfortable most of the time. As a result, the 'hair-conscious-me' had to tie my hair up no matter what. I'm very picky when it comes to my hair and I get very annoyed easily when my hair is in a mess. 
Yes! yes! yes!, I'm a hair neat freak! Hahahaha! Usually, I would tie my hair like this most of the time. 


Most of you should know as I always take photos in this hairstyle. I guess, you guys are tired of seeing this hairstyle too right?

Well, well..... 
You know what? Gerry is finally going for a change!
#Likefinally (-_-)
 But she is still deciding. 

I was playing around with my hair after I got home from dinner. 




After messing and changing sides of my parting, then I went O.O! Not bad! Then I start researching what kind of change should I go for. 

Perms? 
Waves? 
How about these? 



Aren't they pretty? I probably should start saving money to have those waves. Oh $$$$. 
Should I? 


And then I saw this pretty hairstyle! ❤______❤
Thinking.... thinking.... thinking.....

Unsolved Riddles



Just when you thought everything have just fall into place....
Everything seems perfect in your eyes.
The uncertainties been raised & you thought it's been cleared.
BUT! when it happens, it collapsed.
And, it's just this "ONE THING" that hurts & its exhausting you out so much.
It replays all over again.
So, it was never solved. Never been solved.

Maybe I'll just have to give up ONE to put this to an end.

P.S: I wish, this could be over soon.
*** As the rain starts to pour, so are my tears.

A Mother's Love


"A fetus’s home, like a cocoon,
For nine months is in a womb.
And soon it travels in the outer world,
A cranky and tender little baby girl.
Hearing her baby’s cry,
The mother falls at ease and sighs.
She cuddles her child gently,
And the child falls asleep gradually.
Being overwhelmed she begins to weep,
As she watches her little angel sleep,
She is astound by natures grace,
How her flesh and blood she can embrace."
- Zainab Attari


I feel your worries and your concerns. But your daughter is a grown up now.
Let me fall and pick myself up on my own mistakes.
I apologize if I may have said things that are hurtful. 
But those words, weren't meant by heart.
I appreciate all the advises you gave, and how much you've supported me during my difficult times.
But mummy, forgive me. Your daughter is not an expressive person. 

Please put your trust and faith in me.
I'm a grown up now. Let me make my own decisions even if you think I may be wrong at times.
I do know & understand how painful it is to see your own daughter getting hurt.
But if you were to keep protecting with your shields, this daughter of yours will be never able to learn how to stand on her own feet. 
Let her be independent.
Let her grow.

One day, you'll be proud of her.
I love you.

Future


You'll never see a rainbow after a stormy rain if you keep holding on to your defences too tightly. 
It's time to release & learn how to let it go.
Open up. 
Don't let the past haunt you down. 
The future, can be beautiful too.

Time

现在的我,终于找回了自己。
谢谢,让我认识了你。

I believe, time will take my fears away.
To the day when I'm able take a step forward,
Make my jump to leap of faith to where we want it to be.

Time will tell...

Additional 3 more months

Results are released. Checked!
Stared at the screen, stone for a few mins, not knowing what to do or how should I react to it.
No, I did not do well. Not making it for one module is just too depressing especially when this trimester is suppose to be my last. I looked forward to grad, so much! No one knows.

So for now, instead of graduating in Aug, its been extended to Dec (additional of 3 more months). I will work doubly hard for it. No more failing! I've fallen & I won't allow myself to fall again.

JIAYOU GERRY! (:

Letting Go.

And so yes, once in a blue moon. I'm pen-ing down my thoughts in here again.
New school term has started. It's not going be easy.
Started my new part-time job in Laudrees for about 2 weeks.
On adhoc basis, yes, I'm still doing facilitating for ABC Water trail.

Busy?
Yeah. But I'm still handling it okay. Just that, I get exhausted very easily now.

As I'm typing this, I came to realize the date has turned to 16.
But what's the point of remembering it anw?
It was a painful yesterday as I finally took the courage to erase the photos we had in the past. My laptop was running out of memory. Transferred them to harddisk, deleted the photos I had in my folders. Not just you, but everyone else.

I love viewing photos. Before deleting them, I would tend to look through them.
Memories; happy? sad? mixed feelings?
I would say, all in one.
However, for yours. It was just way too painful. Looking at your face, I broke down in tears. All I felt were pains in my heart. I miss you but its time to let go.

Probably you didn't realize that I've been waiting for you all along. Unfortunately, it's not working it out. This will be final tears that I would be tearing of you. I'm moving on.

So, Goodbye memories.
Thank you for making me stronger.
I've learnt to be on my own, without you.

Cease Fire


Christina Aguilera
Cease Fire

[2x]
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah (oh oh)

Inglorious soldier I stand 'til the end
A golden revolver I hold in my hand
The trigger that I never squeeze
The war that brings me to my knees

I'm tired of fighting for peace
When I am alone on the front line
I need you to stand next to me

Baby, cease fire, fire, fire
Throw down your weapons, your weapons, your weapons
I'm on your side, on your side, on your side
So please cease fire, fire, fire
Cease fire, make it stop

Drop down your defences, I'm raising my flag
This fighting is hopeless, we need this to end
It's going too far, don't know where it began
We're hurting each other and I can't pretend

I'm trying to help you to see
The casualties that we both leave
It's all so unnecessary
Can't you hear me scream?

Baby, cease fire, fire, fire
Throw down your weapons, your weapons, your weapons
I'm on your side, on your side, on your side
So please cease fire, fire, fire
Cease fire make it stop

[2x]
Uh uh uh ooh
Uh uh uh ooh
Uh uh ooh
Uh uh oh

Rolling out
White flag
I surrender
Hear me now
Make it stop
We can do better
Pain and hurt
Living in fear
Wasted energy
In the end
What is it worth?
What is our legacy?

Rolling out
White flag
I surrender
Hear me now
Make it stop
We can do better

Pain and hurt
Living in fear
Wasted energy
In the end
What is it worth?
What is our legacy?

Follow me now
I'm calling out
Somebody help me

I need you now
Why can't you see?
Gotta believe me

Fighting for peace
Need a release
Won't you come with me?

I'm on your side
Swallow your pride
You can confide in me

Army of one
Rise of the sun
Shining for all to see

Enemy's none
Victory's won
No negativity

We can be free,
We have the key
To own our destiny

Baby, cease fire, fire, fire
Throw down your weapons, your weapons, your weapons
I'm on your side, on your side, on your side
So please cease fire, fire, fire
Cease fire make it stop
