I'll make you feel my love.
12:37 PMSunday, March 29, 2009
When the rain Is blowing in your face And the whole world Is on your case I could offer you A warm embrace To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows And the stars appear And there is no one there To dry your tears I could hold you For a million years To make you feel my love
I know you Haven't made Your mind up yet But I would never Do you wrong I've known it From the moment That we met No doubt in my mind Where you belong
I'd go hungry I'd go black and blue I'd go crawling Down the avenue No, there's nothing That I wouldn't do To make you feel my love
The storms are raging On the rolling sea And on the highway of regret Though winds of change Are throwing wild and free You ain't seen nothing Like me yet
I could make you happy Make your dreams come true Nothing that I wouldn't do Go to the ends Of the Earth for you To make you feel my love
Even though the decision you made pains my heart and brought me to tears, I'll still be there for you. No matter how distant you are, as long as i'm remembered and not forgotten, I'll be thankful.
I do hope you will have a fruitful and long relationship, now you've made your mind up to be with him. Be nice to him alright. :D
However, this is not goodbye. This is the start of a new friendship, a new beginning for us. *stretches hand out*
Anyway, I'm closing this blog. I will no longer blog here. I'm moving on with my life. A new life, soon I'll be enlistted and stuff. I'll update my new blog space once i'm ready. :)

A New Year
9:33 PMThursday, January 01, 2009
Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot, and old times since?
A new year and a new post. My 265th post actually ever since I started blogging at a ripe old age of 16.
So how was 2008 for me?
2008 was a pretty good and a blessed year. 1) First is that I found you, and I have been happy ever since. 2) I'm still quite alive and healthy, for now. And I have the strength to carry on living for quite a while. 3) I had a great 19th birthday. I also planned for my 2 best friends birthday and managed to spend time with my best friends on their birthdays. 4) My cats are still alive. 5) SHINee and DBSK released their albums :) 6) I have a place to call home and I have a family, even though our bonds are not strong, I'm just happy to have them. 7) I'm safe and sheltered even though the world is facing financial turmoil. 8) I'm contented with how and what I am right now.
My plans, hopes and resolutions for 2009
1) I hope my relationship with you will stay strong through this year. 2) I want to quickly get my diploma in Applied Food Science and Nutrition. Only one term left and I want to see myself graduating with my friends and to see my parents on graduation day. 3) I hope, after graduating, my ties with my friends will not be severed and hopefully to still be in contact. 4) I don't want to die in NS. It's too pathetic to die as a recruit. 5) I know I won't be able to pass my NAPFA, so I can't really be bothered about it. 6) I have to start saving money for future because I wish to have a small apartment by 22. 5) I should probably take my driving lessons since mom has been nagging about it.
Now, let us exhale the past and inhale the future. Let's dump the frozen turkeys since Christmas and buy Yusheng for Chinese New Year.
I wish this year will be a good and blessed one as 2008. May god forgive all my sins. Amen.
ELF DANCIN'
11:08 PMMonday, December 29, 2008
Outside, its raining. The skies are still grey and not a sliver of sunlight seen.
My eyes, half opened, looking through my emails and facebooked for a while.
Today's a lazy day. It's Christmas eve and we have to get our asses to school to get some formulating work done.
Truthfully, I'm tired of schoolwork.
Is there a possibility of extending the school holidays by another week?
S.O.S
Graduation Night gives me headache
8:41 PMMonday, December 22, 2008
Why is everyone talking about Graduation Night?
I'm not prepared. I'm not prepared.
As in... getting all dressy for Graduation Night.
I'm not ready.
And I'm definitely cashless.
Just ONE more freakin' term till graduation.
TEN more days to end of our Major Project Benchwork.
THREE more days to Christmas
ELEVEN more days to a new year
And I'm not freaking gonna count the days to when I'm getting enlisted.
If I can have another wish for Christmas is for Santa to bring me these suits for Graduation Night.
Absolutely adore the fushia pink pants. It's fabulous. Look at this one! It's adorable! And the white socks, makes him look even dorky!
Dear Santa, please drop these suits at my doorstep at 0000 hrs on Christmas. :D
My first wish was already granted.
And that was you.
I'm planning another photoshoot soon, but it might not materialise due to my really tight schedule.
Anyway, I've added new people on my blogroll; Dougie, Faez, Zach, Ian and Jeffrey.
Kitchen
6:54 PMSunday, December 21, 2008
I can't believe, the first week of my holidays are already over. This term break, which is much needed is ending soon. Projects and all got in the way as well.
I haven't been doing anything much during my break. Just a little project work here and there but somehow I find it really tiring. Our FSM team decided to do another trial cooking session, and it turned out just as fabulous as before. I also took the opportunity to make some dishes for myself as well, since all the equipment and ingredients are out.
I'll share with you some of the stuff that we did.
Our dessert, layered trifles topped with strawberries. Our very own home-made granola with oats, sunflower seeds and some other grains layered with whipped cream.
The entree; Delicious juicy beef meatballs topped with home-made tomato sauce.
Carbohydrate: Aglio Olio fusilli
Vegetables: Stir fried french beans with mushrooms and yellow capsicum.
Our appetizer: Parsley pesto and baked cherry tomato on crackers as a canape.
This set will be exclusively sold at BistroWalk on the 29th of December 2008.
Do dine in with us as we only have 20 sets.
___________________________________________
As I mentioned earlier, I also put together a dish of my own with the ingredients/prepared dishes at hand just so I can play around with the designing and photography of food.
Chucky Tomato and Basil Soup.
Simple dish made. Have some great red tomatoes, blanch for a minute to remove skin and quater tomatoes. In a bowl mix the tomato quaters with salt, pepper and chopped basil. Oil baking pan and bake tomatoes for 10-15 mins at 200 C. Once done, throw in the tomatoes, chicken or beef stock, capsicum or chillies into a food processor and blend to your liking, whether chunky or thin. Garnish with basil leaves with its flowers.
Penne aglio olio and Juicy meatballs topped with tomato and mushroom sauce accompying; buttered baked asparagus and stir fried frech beans.
With the dishes we prepared during the session, I assembled 3 different looks.
Don't start pickin' on me because I am not a culinary student. I just enjoy doing this. I'm a food science student. right. I know, i know.
Though, I'd love to be in the culinary course too.
The asparagus were simply delicious. Wash them, cut the harder parts of the stalks, pat dry and lay them on a baking tray. Spread butter and season with pepper. Bake for 8-10 mins at 200C and you get these really gorgeous asparagus.
The picture above is another of my whimsical creations. I guess I have a different palette compared to others.
Parsley infused warm strawberry topped with whipped cream.
Slice the strawberry but not to the end, slip in a parsely leaves in between the slices and sugar the top. Bake for 15 mins at 175 until red syrup is seen. Topped with whipped cream.
I didn't find the parsley flavour too interesting on this one so I re-did it again, this time with more parsely I cut up a huge slice and just put in a bunch or parsley in it and baked. This time the flavour was great but not too overpowering, somehow giving it a slight herby taste to the strawberry.
The canape on the crackers is just like the one we did on the trial session. But the different piece here is the cherry tomatoes.
Cherry tomatoes with parsley pesto
Wash and half the cherry tomatoes. Dump parsely, garlic, olive oil and parmesan into the processor and blend until its chunky and not pasty. Top the cherry tomatoes with the pesto and then dribble parmesan on top of it and pierce a sliced almond piece into it. Bake for 10 mins at 175C. Garnish with coarse black pepper and serve.
Parmesan crackers with slivered almonds.
Scoop parmesan with a teaspoon and spread it on a greased baking tray. Spread on it some chopped garlic and dried parsley on top of it. Place a slivered almond on top. Bake at 200C for 3 mins. Meanwhile, wash and cut italian parsley and garnish it when the parmesan crackers is out.
A simple appetizer if you have guest coming over at the last minute.

Other than cooking, I've been going out a lot too. Tried to take photos of the Christmas stuff in town but I hate doing night photogrophy because everything is so blurry. I've been hanging out in the west area a lot too. You should head down to Jurong point, its really nice down there with the new extension and all.
I'll post up more photos in the next post.
Facebook-ed
11:38 AMSaturday, December 13, 2008
Face it. I'm a Facebook addict.
I log in daily and at times, for hours.
I love the thrill of getting new messages, or when someone writes on my wall.
I open multiple tabs, one for my Profile, another is the Facebook Homepage and the third one for Pet Society.
I visit my friends on Pet Society just to get 20 coins from each of them; I have about 50 over friends. Also, visiting friends also earns you 5 Paw Points. I hate doing hurdling because its too time consuming for a mere 30 coins.
I spent countless hours re-arranging my furnitures, creating my bedroom, garden and living room on Pet Society.
At the end of the day, I find these activities useless and that there is no point playing it because it's just plain dumb and kills your brain cells. There's absolutely no thinking required, no motor skills involved. There's nothing.
And yet, the very next morning, I'll find myself on the same page from where I have left off.
Yes, I'm a facebook addict.
I'm the cute pink rabbit like critter.
And I only kiss one friend's pet.
xoxo
I have grumble, fumble and meddle.
6:51 PMSunday, December 07, 2008
My thinking works on a logical technicality.
Sometimes I find it difficult to comprehend illogical ideas or humour.
I have no emotional attachement to things; pets, humans, objects.
But I cry when I watch Korean dramas.
On a totally different note,
Why did the turkey crossed the road?
Because the chicken was on MC.
LOL, no?
My NS Medical Check Up
7:12 PMMonday, December 01, 2008
1st December. Finally, a day I haven't been looking forward to because it's simply my NS Medical Check up. I had no idea what to expect and it was my first time to Central Manpower Base. I got up at 0745 hours and proceed with the morning routine and made my way to CMPB. My appointment was at 1030 hours but I got there half an hour early and good thing was that I didn't have to actually wait all the way to 1030 hours.
As soon as I step into the building, a sincere smile greeted me and the administrator checked my documents before proceeding with the check up itself. First up was Image Capturing. Changed into a greyish green uniform top (with only a velcro strap on the first button, I wondered where the rest of the button went) and the photographer assistant did my hair and wiped my face. Frankly, I look like a retard when I saw myself on the photo.
Then I proceeded with the medical check up itself. Started with the urine test. I was told to pee on the urine strip and the officer had a quick look at it before disposing. The strip had 4 colours, each to test for a specific chemical. This one tests for glucose(diabetes), protein(kidney function in deaminating proteins) and pH (acidity of urine).
With that done, I got myself queued up behind a snaking line for the blood withdrawal. When it was finally my turn, the guy who attended to me gave me a smile (even though he was wearing a face mask, I could see his smile from the look of his eyes) and commented that I look like Tobey Maguire. "Where's you spidey suit?" he asked but I just looked at him dazzled. My blood was drawn in less than 15 seconds and I was good to go for the next test - audio test.
The audio test was simple. Very low volumed sounds were played through the headphones and you just have to raise your hands according to where the sound is coming from (Left or Right, duh? wherelse?) When that was done I headed for visual testing.
We first had to make a triangle shaped hole with out hands stretched out and look at the doctor , I'm not sure what he's looking for but I think its the allignment of our iris/pupils. The then usual eye check where you have to read the letters in the given rows with either eye closed. Once done, I was told to go for the dental check up.
Here, the dentist took note of well being of our teeth. He noted down some stuff and use coded speech that I didn't understand. "19, missing, 48 missing ..." If I'm not wrong the numbers are the parts of our teeth, each tooth will have a different number and on each tooth, different parts will have different number. In the event where I'll die during service and if I couldn't be recognize (if I was burnt, face mangled/smashed. etc) then the dental assessement/records will help to identify me in that kind of events. Just the same for tattoo bearers, it will help to identify them in an event when they're beheaded or something that made them irrecognizable.
After that, I went on for the X-Rays. Shirtless, held my breathe and that machine scanned me. X-rays are done to check for deformities in lungs, heart or bones. With that I have 2 stations left, Station 6 and 9.
In station 6 we were told to strip down to our shorts/pants and kept everything else in a locker provided. The first part was to get an ECG (Electrocardiogram), this is used in the diagnosis of heart disease, congenital heart diseases in infacts, myocardium infarction and myocarditis. The machine they are using is slightly old, where by suction cups and electrodes are used. You can simple google 'ECG' for pictures of it or wiki ECG on how it works.
I took the test thrice because my heart beat rate was high and maybe because of this I was lowered from PES A to a PES B. High heart beat rate simply equals to weak heart. It takes alot more beats to pump blood throughout the body. A strong heart will require to pump at a lower number of times to circulate blood throughout the body.
After ECG, I went to have my weight (49.5kg) and height (1.65m and all these while I thought I'm 1.68m) taken. The machine also measures body fat percentage by bioelectrical impendence analysis method and I found out that my body fat percentage was 13.3%, almost in the healthy range. Then, I had my heart pressure taken after the my height and weight was taken. When that was done I proceeded with the doctor consultation. I was told to strip, he just had a quick look and my dingdangles and we chat for a while, regarding my health status and family background. When everything was fine, I was done in Stattion 6 and headed to my last station - vocational test.
In my last station, which I had to wait for like 45 minutes before my turn, we have to go through several vocational test and thinking abilities (it takes 1.5 - 2 hours to get this done). We we tested on simple arithmetic, physics, cognitive ability, memory and so on. There were SO MANY questions, it tires your brain out. Some of the test are a bit more complex but the rest should be easy.
And finally at 1500hrs I was done. I was in the facility for 5 whole hours and it was a fairly good experience. For those going for their Medical Checkup, there is nothing to fear. Every one of the staff there are trained on customer service, they are very helpful and polite (which makes it much easier for us who are going through the check up for the first time). I commend on their excellent service and environment.
Event at the Esplanade
9:57 PMSunday, November 30, 2008
I went to the Esplanade 'Theater by The Bay' (Is that what you called that place, the open air stage with the sails like structure) to watch some bands doing their stuff. Just there to support local music and groove to sweet melody.
At 845, this instrumental band performed. I didn't catch their name. Although vocal-less, you can still feel emotions being potrayed by music. It was pleasing, at least to my ears. The bassist powerette! I don't know, maybe he's the lead guitar?
Him on the drums! And rockin' on.
The next performers at 10 was more familiar, The Sallys!
We all loved the whole performance. It was great!
People were dancing, some quirky moves, it was silly but real fun.
Things only went ugly when people didn't abide by rules. But less of that because I don't wanna get my ass kicked. The brass and guitarist.
Bassist! LOL. Os definitely wanted to get his number. The whole band minus the keyboardist and another guy. But you can see the people down there having fun!
Sunsets, random photos and what nots
9:35 PM
An absolutely random post on photos I took. Nothing fabulous.
Definitely my favourite mug. The colour of rainbows up in the sky! A potrait shot. A landscape shot. I thought of going up to the 15th floor to snap better photos but laziness got in the way. In Bus service 51. Warm tones. Sunset on the 15th floor. A different day. Purposely underexposed to make the sunset looked like a ball of fire which is about to hit Earth. Just very slight underexposure. I think Haz took this snapshot. Thats a rattan ball. or something.
Where was I again?
4:44 PM
All these while, I thought my parents were going to Australia for a short holiday. I was 45% correct. They bought luggage bags, winter wear, mittens and boots. I was SO SURE they were going Australia. Only until today I got to know that they weren't heading for Australia.
Guess where they're heading...
Of all places in the world.
Beijing and Inner Mongolia.
Mouth Wide Open.
Speechless.
PENTAS 2008
12:11 PMSaturday, November 29, 2008
I attended the PENTAS 2008 last Friday on the 21st of November. It was my first time (in a tertiary institute) to watch this kind of stage show. The last time I remembered was during my uniform clad days, yes the primary and secondary school days where we watch the inter racial arts program up on stage.
The main reason why I went to watch was because Os was performing and that it'll be my last year here in TP, and I haven't really watched any arts performances by cultural groups before, so I thought, it'll be good exposure for me.
What I loved about this show is that the characters were strong to invoke emotions in the audience, there's one particular character I really liked because she had this huge presence even though she's small built. There were funny moments and there were really sombre ones. The writer also included recent real life events like the China Melamine scandal, even though I thought it was going a bit off story line. Some parts that I didn't really fancy was the 'Sadako' part, whereby this grizzly hairy creature emerges from the curtains and it turned out to be someone asking for directions. Other elements of the play that I loved was that they were authentic in terms of costume and props. From Baju Kurung, to Kebaya, and also Batik outfit.
All in all I think it's a good play.
Billions of photos were taken during the play but I'll only post up some of the good ones. It's really hard to snap photos of the characters up on stage due to the poor lighting and if I were to increase the ISO, my pictures will definitely be noisy/grainy. So here are the photos, not arranged in sequence of events because I'm too lazy to arrange them.
Just let the photos tell the story.
The grandmother! The male dikir barat group
I love the Kampung-esque outfit. Clap, clap clap. We all love her smile don't we. The silat performing.
Below: By far my favourite photo because it's really clear, from where I'm sitting, its really hard to get good photos, but this one is good. Injecting current issues like the Melamine scandal into the play.
Everyone who performed and helped out with the event. Mala, Me, Os (Female Dikir Barat performer) and Haz.
p/s: DO try to click on the photos. It's pretty HUGE.
For more photos that I didn't upload it here, visit: Os's Multiply
Why I stayed single for 2 years.
4:57 PMTuesday, November 25, 2008
Laying my head on my girlfriend's lap, she playfully feeds me with her home grown cherry tomatoes. We'd secretly trade little pecks, and pinching each other's cheeks. We laid down, holding hands and watch the clouds floating by, we share little secrets and laugh at our past.
With the whole panoramic sunset in the background, we looked into each other's eyes and had a long deep kiss.
and then the ever classic 'THE END' followed by the end credits appeared.
At least, that's how I thought love was like. Sweet, innocent and pure fun. But in this world, really. Is there such thing? Is there love like how they portrayed it in the big screen?
You and your girlfriend placed somewhere deserted with lush greeneries and a magical basket of luxurious bite size fruits to feed each other.
Probably not. Being in a relatively distant world from film making, for us unfortunately, we don't see all that lovey dovey stuff in real life.
The real truth about me being single for 2 years is most probably my selfishness. Ever since young, the only thing I cared about was myself. Me, myself and no one else. It was until I was 14 when my hormones rages and I wanted to be in love, but of course, failed. Nevertheless, I learnt something from it. But what I learnt is not the point on today's topic.
I'm simply not the person who does sweet talking, I don't carry your handbag. Wait, I don't even offer to help you to carry your bag, whether it's light or a ton heavy, I don't care. It's YOUR handbag anyway. I don't send you home because you have legs, and I have legs. Whether you live a million miles away or a few blocks away I won't walk you home. I'm not the person who'd pick you up after work. I don't like waiting for people. I don't settle your bills. You pay for what you eat. I don't do treats, if you want something you earn it. I don't do morning call to wake you up or send sweet morning messages or heart melting messages. I never stayed up late just to talk or accompany someone through the night just because she feels lonely. It doesn't make any sense why I must lose sleep so that the other can stay awake. I'd rather watch Grey's Anatomy than hearing your previous failed relationship and how bad you regret it. I don't do that. I just don't all those kind of thing.
Others may see it as 'normal'. Like picking up your girlfriend, offering to carry her handbag, pulling the chair out for her and stuff like that but I personally don't find it 'normal'. In fact its abnormal. Why would you wanna carry someone else's bag? She have her own pairs of hand. She can pull the chair out herself and etc. Gentlemen? HAH. It seems like you're on your knees for someone. I'm not a person like that.
Other than selfishness, some other reasons why I stay single were the fact that I didn't want to be tied down. I'm not a dog or a pet to be leashed. I like my freedom of actions and expressions. I don't like it when people ask me where I am every 5 minutes. I don't like it when people try to pry me open, digging for stories about my past. Adding onto that, the fact is that I'm still a student. I'm not earning a 4 figure salary and I'm busy with school work. Which translates to, I can't spend much. I don't have much time for you, I don't have freedom.
I am independent on myself. I don't need a shoulder to cry on. I don't need an umbrella on me during rainy days. I can live alone and happily, provided I have enough cash to survive.
And of late, I've been liking someone, so much so that I'm not being myself anymore. Sometimes I wondered if love is actually more of a burden than happiness. Love is something more complicated than happiness. Those 4 letters means more than just happiness. It means hardship, it means not being selfish, caring and etc. On my point of view, I've changed a lot from who I used to be.
And I can't change anymore. I can't. It's hard for me to change. I'm doing things that I won't normally do, not even with my family or friends but I'm doing things for you. You can't expect more from it. This is where my limit lies. If I can't make you happy, if I can't even put a smile on your face, if you think I really didn't care for you, then please, those 3 words, say it to someone who'd be better off than me. It doesn't make sense to love someone when you're getting emotionally upset about the relationship you're in. I'd rather see you happy with someone that you cherish and will love willingly without getting hurt.
I'm sorry if I can't live up to your expectation. I love you, I sincerely do.

DBSK performing Mirotic Remix
11:06 PMThursday, November 20, 2008
DBSK performing Mirotic Mix at Blue Dragon Film Awards. Wrong choice of song to cater to the audience. Most of the audience attended the event were mature actors and actresses. Most of them were seen disgruntled, some slightly bobbing their head following the beat, but no one cheered or were singing along, it seemed like no one was enjoying the performance. Well, at least there was a round of applause at the end.
If I were one of them (DBSK) I'd be nerve wrecked. It's weird to perform in front of a quiet audience.
Junsu/Yunho tripped/slipped at 2:29 i think. It's due to the floppy carpet/sticker as seen on 0:19. It's not stuck down properly! Less wonder why they tripped.
And I'd pick a better song than Mirotic, say 넌나의 노래. Something not as upbeat as Mirotic. But anyway, good job on the new Mirotic Remix.
Can't get out of my head

DBSK Phone Sex Service.
After laughing hysterically at the DSBK Wrong Number Parody, I had to find out the meaning of the song.
DBSK Wrong Number Translation Credits to: qinaaax3
You call me at least twelve times a day to check, If by chance, I’m on the line with somebody, you leave a suspicious message
Who would I be talking with at this time? It gets so hard for me, when you make up a girl who doesn’t even exist, yeah
You trap me in the words of love, the annoying scoldings pile up, turning into attachement, I want to forget you; I’ll make sure you don’t appear on my phone again, I said
You got the wrong number You got the wrong number I’m sorry. You got the wrong number So don’t call me no more
As if you’re my mother, you know my whole day, You’re always worried about who I am with, as if it’s for me
You try to make an excuse by saying you were curious, But the extreme restrictions just make love more painful, What would be the good of hanging onto a hung up call? The words I hear are clear, what to say
You got the wrong number You got the wrong number I’m sorry. You got the wrong number So don’t call me no more
You got the wrong number You got the wrong number I’m sorry. You got the wrong number So don’t call me no more
I’ll erase it all; I’ll change it all; the password which reminds me of the times of you and me, I’ll erase your ringtone which rang everything my name appeared on your phone, reset, reset
Wow, I think I’ll go crazy, I’ll appreciete it if you shut up, I’m like a stupid fish in your net, can’t it be enough like this? Cash Your words of love scrape my skin, it becomes dim, My head starts to hurt again, I’m starting to hear auditory hallucinations, As if you’re interested, as if it’s for me; i’m just your item, You don’t have to be nervous by the word No, just let me go, say, Help me so I can escape, say, we’re already too far to start again
You got the wrong number You got the wrong number I’m sorry. You got the wrong number So don’t call me no more
I want to escape from you now, don’t call me again, Don’t hold onto a person that has left, just let me go, just let me go http://makikawaii.wordpress.com/2008/09/26/dbsk-mirotic-4th-album-lyrics-translation/
Jaejoong's actions mirrors the dilemma he's in. XD
Since I have a fair bit of time to myself, I'd like to blog about some stuff. I'm not a believer of horoscopes and astrological jargons but once in a while I do read horoscopes because in some ways, it'll help me understand someone better.
Born on 26th September, I carry the scales horoscope - Libra. Being what I am, I take decisions seriously - weighing the advantages and disadvantages of certain elements and if one outweighs the other by a huge amount, I make decisions easily but if its marginal, I get indecisive. And that is how I am in real life, I like to confirm my plans days or even weeks ahead, I plan my route to wherever I'm going and I always must have an objective before going out.
I dislike being in an argument and fights, so long as I live, I'd like to see some peace and harmony. Though, a side note I like doing something i call 'the exchange of ideas'. Other call it competitive verbal/written(chat/email) arguments. I'll only engage myself in competitive arguments IF they won't emotionally hurt me. I mean you can rebuke my sentences, or twist my sentences on me but never, never spear me in my heart or provoke my emotions.
One of the things being what I am (and also stated in most horoscope) is that I'm easily influenced and that I'm gullible. Well, used to but I've learnt how to shield myself from the tyranny sweet talking. I HATE how my heart sways so easily (when I was younger, say before 18?) to sweet talking and assertive suggestion which usually lead to somewhat regretful feeling.
The other thing that I dislike about myself, but can't seem to move away from it is self-indulgence. Which is also known as selfishness. In everything I do, I put myself first before anyone else. For example, the very common one is that when I buy something, say a packet of Hello Panda or chocolates, I tend to open it and pop a few into my mouth first before sharing it with others, or I won't even share unless they asked for a few. I can share but I don't offer it first, I work on the basis of 'ask and you shall receive'.
It's true I seldom get angry or show temper, because I find it utterly useless to get all emotionally (angry). It's better to transform all the into positive energy, cleanse your soul from all the hatred and anger. Take a deep breathe and fill your lungs with a fresh breath of air. WOAH! so ZEN. But seriously, getting angry and frustrated will get you no where.
I'm not as flirtatious as some horoscope reads. I'm marginally sociable and I don't fancy in meeting new people. I like what I have now, and comfortable with the people around me.
One of the other thing I find useful with horoscopes is that it helps me to understand someone to a certain extent. It helps me how to interact with different kinds of people by reading their characteristics and attributes.
As for the moment, I'm dating a Scorpio and at certain times, I find it hard to understand why they'd act or behave in a certain way. And by reading, and hopefully understanding the person better, I can slowly be tolerant, if not, accept their way of living. I'm still learning and understanding that person, give me time and it will blossom.
I've also read up on Libra-Scorpio Compatibility, here's an excerpt:
These two have been called the 'relationship signs' for their capacity for coupling. Libra loves to be swept up in a breathless affair, and Scorpio has the urge to merge. The intensity of Scorpio's gaze is like a tonic to Libra, who comes alive as the object of desire. The attraction may be the promise of something substantial, which both crave. They'll be sizing each other up on dates, and enjoy the game of subtle innuendo. Scorpio looks for emotional resonance, and a kind of bonding that involves the soul. Relationships are no less important for Libra, but more happens for them at the airy plane of thought. This is where they clash, and may find problems relating.
Libra favors relationship lite, at least in the beginning, while Scorpio's passions are all or nothing. It's hard for Scorpio to pursue Libra in a long drawn-out courtship. There's a chance that Scorpio will feel like Libra just doesn't get them on a deep level. Scorpio has to decide Libra is worth the wait, and that this elusive lover has the emotional density they need. Even when Libra settles into a commitment, there's a need for a personal space cushion. Scorpio's enveloping nature, and tendency to be controlling could set off alarms for Libra. Above all, Libra likes to keep it clean and dignified, to the point of avoiding the dark corners of the relationship. Scorpio loves to probe and intermingle, and go to the bottom together, and rise up again. A persnickety Libra might find all that a bit dark and sordid, and not nice.
They're neighbors on the Zodiac, and may even meet at harmonious degrees. Other planets are a big factor in whether this match is a love connection. A Scorpio that can be objective about their obsessive nature reassures Libra that they're not diving off the deep end. Libra needs room to move, and a partner that has a flexible, open mind. A Libra with some sensuality and a strong libido gives the sexual Scorpio something to latch onto. Scorpio needs to take that intimate journey to the center of the heart with their partner. When there's enough of what the other wants and needs, this is a match with potential. from: http://astrology.about.com/od/libralovematches/qt/ScorpioLibra.htm
Of course, reading this doesn't mean that my life is drawn, each of us can change our lifestyle and we change so as to better ourselves. There are the positive and negatives attributes of people, we all just have to learn to take a little and give a little, be more tolerant and enjoy understanding each other. Whether my life or my love life, I have the power to change myself, so can you.
Again, I'll reinstate that I'm not a believer of horoscopes, they're just tools for me to understand how people are.
Quite a lengthy post. Azferocia Iannydus.
