About me

Went for Ba Zi reading the other time, as I felt I am at the cross junction (opps sound so auntie).

Feels therapeutic cos the “fortune teller” listens to your problems and offer “rational and realistic” solutions.

It is when he says I am “complicated and challenging”.

I guess guys come and go because they think I am “challenging”, yet I do give away my heart “easily” to a certain extend. Hahahaha, opps!

* * *

My characters that I should follow:
-  Honest, Trustworthy
-  Tactful and selfless to gain more merits
-  Need to be positive and avoid pessimism
-  Faithful in r/s, which is important to keep r/s intact.
-  Have mercy towards the surroundings
-  Helpful and honest
-  Should withstand your strict and demanding self by opening up your thoughts and avoid suspicion which will cause doubt and create negativity.

The Course of True Love

I forgot if I mentioned this before…

When I was 19 years old, one of my friend’s friend who knew palm reading read our palms.

He said I always have difficulty getting together with the person I really like, and I will have 3 boyfriends.

Because I have always been afraid to fall in love, I always tell myself, never mind, 2 have passed (I consider break & patch to be 2x lol) so I won’t be too negative.

True enough, now number 2 has also ended. I am trying to stay positive that the next one will be true and lasting.

: )

It just feels warm to know that your right one is somewhere out there, and the Almighty one is helping you to plan for that encounter to spark everything.

: )

Has anyone read about Oprah’s Love List? Might just do that later! Hehehe….

I am Jane in Pride & Prejudice

I bought this book, Jane Austen’s Guide to Dating, some years ago.

Nope, I am not some obsessed-with-self-help-books freak (lol). Just thought it was interesting.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” –Jane Austen, Pride and PrejudiceThere was never a more astute chronicler of the hits and near-misses of love than Jane Austen. Now, she helps readers discover their inner heroines and get the guy in this witty book of romance and dating strategies.

Utilizing wisdom inspired by Jane Austen’s novels, from Sense and Sensibility to Pride and Prejudice and beyond, author Lauren Henderson creates an indispensable guide for navigating the all-too-mystifying dating scene. Harnessing the triumphs and pitfalls of Austen’s classic characters, Henderson shows how qualities like honesty, self-awareness, and forthrightness always win the right man — and still let you respect yourself in the morning.

A completely new and amusing approach to dating, Jane Austen’s Guide to Dating includes insightful personality quizzes that reveal which Jane Austen character you — and your mate — most resemble. Armed with this knowledge, you can learn what to do if you’re a Lizzie, but the object of your affection is a Bingley. You can even find out how to gain the clearheadedness and confidence that Anne Elliot had and almost lost in Persuasion.

Full of wit and truly useful advice that has stood the test of time, Jane Austen’s Guide to Dating will help readers overcome the nonsense and find the sense (and sensibility) to succeed in a lasting relationship. Fans of Jane Austen and newcomers alike will delight in this fun, fresh, and audacious guide.

It even has this little test at the back of the book to see which character are you.

I am Jane:

Sweet and straightforward; you see the best in everyone. You need someone as happy, open and easy-going as you are. Be careful – someone who plays games will really mess with your head, as you tend to be very trusting about what people tell you. Your best matches are Henry Tilney, Mr Bingley, Colonel Brandon.

Jane is a character is Pride and Prejudice:

There are 5 daughters in the Bennet family all looking for love: Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia. Jane falls for Mr Bingley, a rich, eligible, sweet natured young man, but nearly loses him because Mr Darcy, his snobbish, haughty friend, thinks that her family is too vulgar and that she herself isn’t really in love with Bingley, because Jane is too reserved about showing her feelings.

She is considered the most beautiful young lady in the neighbourhood. Her character is contrasted with Elizabeth’s as sweeter, shyer and equally sensible, but not as clever. Her most notable trait is a desire to see only the good in others. She, in the end, marries Mr Bingley.

Stereotyping

Was having a mini talk with a guy friend about girls and guys and cars.

Hahah..

He asked “if there were a BMW and Kia for u to choose, which one will you choose?“.

He said usually by first impressions – if the girl doesn’t know the guys – 9 out of 10 will choose the guy driving a BMW.

Of course I retorted, simply cos I am not such a person (and I don’t believe I am that 1 out of 10). And I believe neither my friends are!

Sometimes, I really do wonder, being simple and seeking simplicity in life – is it really realistic at all?

Will I ever find my better half who shares the same view as me?

*shrugs

P.S.: My friend mentioned “if there were BMW and Audi for me to choose, I will choose Audi”. Then I flashed-back and wonder if this scenario had really happened for me before.

* * *

Oh ya.. And first impressions and appearances…..

I worry a little too much about over-the-top, so I always choose comfort, safe colors and be low key.

But sometimes I wonder if guys really place so much on appearances.

Make me feel stressed out. Like my past r/s, made me try to keep up so much that I felt inferior.

I think I should go after Ah Tay cos he understands me best and had seen me worse.

LOL. Okayyyy, I’m just joking eh!

Decided

I am just amazed by myself.

Like you know how sometimes we all can, at times, fall into the emotional trap. And start to feel emotionally crappy all of a sudden?

I knew all along I have phobia towards trusting guys/relationships. How about when you get hurt deeply, and after a few years, a new guy come along. He made you believed you are special, and you believed he is THE ONE. You shared so much memories together. You waited.

But in the end you get hurt all over again.

Will you choose to trust in love, or trust in yourself?

I chose the latter.
