Relationship-related
1. The proposal
Mr Chua brought me to Boracay as a surprise birthday trip on 16th March 2011, and one day after my birthday, he proposed to me on 18th March 2011. He bought me 108 red roses and a diamond ring for the proposal. It was really a memorable moment for both of us and from then on, we are engaged!!!:)
2. 10 days cold war
4-5 months after our engagement, we gotten into a big quarrel, which resulted in 10 days worth of cold war! haha.. As for what we have quarreled, I could not remember well as well, but i think it's something to do with tasks, insecurity, etc. Haha, it's not the first time we quarreled also, but this 10 days were very long and excruciating, however from this, we have also learned from this hard way the importance of each other in lives:)
3. Marriage preparation
We have gotten our marriage date, booked our wedding boutique, wedding venue and our actual day photographer:) And also met our geomancer, who then advise dear to remove his mole. And he did!

| now dear is undergoing his removal of mole. It must be freaking scary. I could hear the laser beam sound. Dear decided to remove his mole after we have consulted the geomancer for our wedding (previous post). Geomancer said that the mole is not good for health. That's the problem to going to geomancer. Poor boy he's must be very scared now, hope everything will be ok. Love u dear. | | |
| It's always hard to forgive someone... to free yourself from the grudge, hope the following helps...
Does gracious heart really makes you feel bettter?
Just feel that it is very hard especially when something is really against your principle.
Will the person you forgive really know it takes a great deal and hard job forgiving? Or is that something that you should not be expecting when you decided to forgive....
...FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO FORGIVE...
Doc Childre and Howard Martin, TheHeartMath Solution
In the long run, it's not a question of whether they deserve to be forgiven.You're not forgiving them for their sake. You're doing it for yourself. For yourown health and well-being, forgiveness is simply the most energy-efficient option.It frees you from the incredibly toxic, debilitating drain of holding a grudge.Don't let these people live rent free in your head. If they hurt you before,why let them keep doing it year after year in your mind? It's not worth it butit takes heart effort to stop it. You can muster that heart power to forgivethem as a way of looking out for yourself. It's one thing you can be totallyselfish about.
Mahatma Gandhi
If we practice and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, soon the whole worldwill be blind and toothless.
Doc Childre and Howard Martin, TheHeartMath Solution
Forgiving releases you from the punishment of a self-made prison whereyou are both the inmate and the jailer.
David McArthur & Bruce McArthur, The Intelligent Heart
Many people are afraid to forgive because they feel they must remember the wrongor they will not learn from it. The opposite is true. Through forgiveness, thewrong is released from its emotional stranglehold on us so that we can learnfrom it. Through the power and intelligence of the heart, the release of forgivenessbrings expanded intelligence to work with the situation more effectively.
Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were.
...FOR THOSE WHO ARE FORTUNATE TO BE FORGIVEN...
Forgive many things in others; nothing in yourself.
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.
