Around the world in 80 days

Working at a travel agency has definitely sparked my passion to travel. Even as a young child both my parents wanted thier kids to see the world, and discover all the many wonders it has to offer. Lucky for us, my dad's job brought him to many different countries, and we always got to visit during our school holidays. I am very grateful that i got to experience many and see thing's that some people might not even get in their lifetime!

There are still so many things i want to see though. I have divided my places of desire into 2 very obvious caterogories, Beach Destinations and Recreational Destinations.

Beach Destinations

Maldives (is also my ultimate honeymoon destination)

Koh Samui/Koh Phangan (four words : FULL MOON BEACH PARTY!!)

Krabi/Phuket (suberb beaches in Thailand)

Sipadan (one of the best diving site sin the world)

Recreational Destinations

HongKong Disneyland (ok not really shopping la.. but have always wanted to go)

Bangkok (sadly and even to my own dismay, have never been before)

Amsterdam (two words : SPACE CAKES)

And lastly, Germany (kept this as last coz hopely my plans to go there next year will happen. Oktoberfest!!!)

Of course there are so many other countries and places i want to visit, cept these are the ones at the top of my head at the moment. That and the fact that im getting lazy to search and drag photos onto the page. haha. Au Revoir!

A girl like you

I am so sick and tired of being talked about by people who have never met me before. All my life i have been judged by my appearance. One look at me and people think they know who i am, and what kind of person i must be.

I know girls like YOU very well. Everywhere i've been, every school, every workplace, every new clique of friend's i meet, there will always be someone like YOU.

You're the girl that look's down on others, and think's so highly of yourself. The girl who can say 1001 bad thing's about someone, not stopping to care whether what she is spreading is true or not. You will never help someone unless it benefits you. You cannot accept defeat, and especially hate it when you find someone who is actually better than you (not that you'll admit this). You're the girl that will go out of her way to make someone else's life miserable, just for your own sense of satisfaction, hurting others' is not on your priorities list.

Reality check honey. Firstly, get OVER yourself. There is more to life than you think. Sadly, you shall never see this as YOU my friend, will never go anywhere. People only put other's down because they feel inferior. Ever heard of the saying, if you can't do, teach? Well, i'm afraid that's you honey. You can say i'm young all you want. Hey i'll even admit to it! But no matter how young i might be, at least i'm going somewhere in life. I have dreams and aspirations, thing's i want to do and see, something your small peanut of a brain will never be able to grasp.

In 10 years time, i will be living my life to the fullest. I would have moved on and YOU most likely will never cross my mind again. You however, will be a fat housewife, running around after your kids, living your daily routine (this btw, is NOT talking a punch at housewives. i think you ladies are wonderful)

So my friend, before you go on further saying anything else about me to your pathetic little friend's, give yourself a good look in the mirror. OK, you work in a boutiqe. BIG DEAL. You have a fiance and you guys are going to get married soon. SO ARE MILLIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE. You think you're pretty and carry around branded goods. UNLESS YOU LOOK LIKE HEIDI KLUM, NO ONE GIVES A SHIT.

*please note that this post was typed with purpose aimed at a certain someone who really does exist. yes bitch, i'm talking to you. stop hiding behind that computer of yours, it's getting old.

I carry your heart with me

I carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)

i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)

i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing

is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the budand the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Ever thine,
ever mine,
ever ours.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

I always wondered whether men and women were really that different. Other than the obvious physical differences, are there really so many thing's that make men and women not get along?

I mean, let's look carefully. Point #1 - Men, in general, are insensitive. Ask almost any girl and she would reply that half of the time her bf/other half doesnt notice (or pretends not to, which is worse) that she is upset. Girls on the other hand, are very intune with other people's feelings (this of course, is also generally speaking). They can tell when their partners are upset, or angry about something.

Point #2 - Men always say straight up what they want. Women, on the other hand, beat around the bush and give hints, hoping to god that they're man will get what is it they actually want. And then if he doesnt get it, we get upset. I must admit, i dont understand this either, but i am definitely guilty of doing this. I dont know what it is about feeling a greater sense of satisfaction when he actually does something that i wanted him to do all along, but WITHOUT ASKING. Its called initiative boys, learn the word.

Point #3 - Men are more sexually active, and the woman always feels drained as she has to "give in". ok, i totally disagree with this one. Sexually active people depends on the person, not the gender. There are such things as women perverts and molesters too you know

Point #4 - Men always have to "save face", hence they dont engage in public displays of affection. ok, i think people making out in the train is super gross too, and that's def not what i meant. But holding hands and putting your arm around her shoulder wont hurt you know. In fact, personally, i like it even more when the man im with does it, coz it shows that he's proud to be walking with me, showing everyone that im "his".

Point #5 - When it comes to long term relationships, men have a way of ignoring you and treating you like you're not there. Seriously, it doesnt show much marriage potential. I mean, how are you to prove that you can commit to ONE person till death do you part, when you cant even manage to entertain your own gf when you gusy are still dating? Just one tip for guys out there, we girls LOVE attention from you. No matter what any girl might confess to you, about how she feel's a nuisance if you buy thing's for you, dont believe it! Trust me, every single girl wants to be showered with love and affection. Every. Single. Girl.

Maybe men are from Mars, and Women from Venus. But hey, we're on Earth, which means we are both at the mid way point!

Ramblings

Ok i so i watched New Moon last night with baby at GV Max and it got me thinking about this whole eternal love thing. Of course in the movie they make everything sound corny and untrue, but when you read the book, it comes off in a total different light. Yes i know what you might be thinking, how Edward and Bella are just fictional characters made up by someone. And though a vegetarian vampire may never love a human in our real world, the part about eternal love is intriguing. Do you believe that there is one person meant to be for all of us?

I am truly sceptical about all of this, seeing that i come from a divorced family and my dad has re-married. But deep down inside i want to believe that such a strong bond and loyalty to someone exists. Of course wanting to believe and actually believing is two totally different things.

I once read somewhere that in a relationship, there is a 100 percent chance of a man cheating - it's just a matter of time (this is not from a reliable source, mind you). Now that i think is bullshit. Come on, i know guys are created to be horny beings that think about sex almost all the time, but i would like to think that once they are with someone they love so much, it will change and they will still think of sex all the time, except now it'll be thoughts of their other half.

Maybe i'm being foolish and naive, but i pray to god that the man i will eventually marry will have the same beliefs and values as me. Like in the movie when Edward leaves Bella, (sorry to spoil it for those who have not watched!) it takes her months and months just to start talking again. And her pain is so gut wrenchingly painful that she doesnt think of anyone else. Well, very selfhishly i would like to think that i would want my future husband to feel the exact same way if i died or something. At least i would know that the love he had for me was all he had to give.

I'm not looking for Prince Charming, just maybe his long lost cousin? ;)
