"Happines often sneaks in a door you did not think was open"

Pleasant Monday since I am still on my leave, such pleasure to be sitting at home just resting my soul.

The weekends passed by so fast and the sister wedding marks a good official end to it.

Thankful to everyone who had given their blessings and well wishes to the sister & sis-in-law, im sure they deeply appreciate all of it. 

I would like to express my thanks and love to all who has shown me endless encouragement, love and support during this 1month when I was tasked to work on #projectHZ. Without the constant drops of love coming from my family and friends, it wouldnt have been a huge success. So the success doesn't come only from my own hard work but everyone else :D I am thankful and blessed to have all my friends and family ard.

I was in need of a retreat for my poor soul who had battled together with me less than 10hrs of sleep for 2days.

So on Sunday, which was yesterday, Mister Lim brought me out on a well-deserved retreat which I was entitled to. 

Earlier in the noon I had to drive my sister & sis-in-law over to the bridal shop to return bck the gowns and some biscuit shopping over at Casaurina Road. I was greeted by Mister Lim's text halfway through my errands. 

I told him, "are we going for a war?!" My first though that came to my mind.

He always puts in lil acts of service of love. The first time we met, he got me Lauduree Macaroons and he placed them inside the car compartment of the passenger seat and asked me to open and grab him the coupons. The second was a box of M&Ms choco & homebaked cookies and knowing red is my fav color, he got them in a red M&M box for me. 

This time round, he change his magical box to the arm rest, he opened it and passed me a bag of mini fried dougnuts coated with sugar. Food is always food, i couldn't resist and so nom-ed one down immediately as unglam as it sounds! Effort put in, he handmade this for me :)

So I was picked up in his little white car. Greeted by a familiar sight the moment I walked to the car, he actually tied the blue ribbon  which I bought onto the car door handle. Anw more on the blue ribbon story some other time. So off we went and I hadn't any clue to where we were going or what we were doing. 

However, as we travelled near ECP, I realized and started to make guesses and in the end, got it right; ROLLING BLADING! 

I hadn't roller blade for years or maybe not even a proper blading session before! So I was quite skeptical towards it but nonetheless took up the challenge. I was pretty much new to roller blade and hence trying to wear my blades on when he actually squat down and checked upon me. Ended up doing all the job for me :/

 

My chio legs and Mister Lim. HAHA!

 So we started off to blade for a good few hrs, i was struggling 3/4 of the time and only managed to do a 30secs hands free from him. Now I know why he wanna roller blade, guy's intentions aint always as simple. HAHAHA.

After roller blading, we changed and then off to the second place for our hungry tummies. He brought me to try one of the best Murtabak for dinner: Zam Zam at Haji Lane. Indeed, a very decent meal of murtabak served with generous portions of meat inside, worth the kachings! It was something rather diff and interesting than a normal usual romantic dinner for 2 in a posh dining place. What's more, it's just a first date which I reciprocate that things shouldn't be exactly of the best and perfect. Happiness is all simple things in life :)

After dinner program was exaclty what I had guessed,  Fast & Furious 6 at Cineleisure :) We caught the 9.45pm show and had popcorns for desserts. Indeed a good movie but I would have enjoyed it much much more if I wasn't feeling a little down by then. But looking forward to Hangover 3!

Time flies, it had been exactly close to a year since the very bad period of life. I know I shouldn't be speaking about it but it indeed caused me some kind of "phobia" towards r/s and meeting people. Idk why. I reckon I learnt alot from falling down last year. I opened up my insights and better und how to love myself more and my family and friends before a r/s. It is also when I started to place myself and my own interests before anyone else. I guess to love someone you should start to learn to love and appreciate yourself. I know how strong mentally i had changed to become over this 1yr, how much patience I had learnt to inculcate in my daily life, how much efforts I put in when I am working on my sideline and how different I was from who I used to be. And I felt this was the best change ever, cause I felt happier ever since I changed to becoming someone who's more positive. I guess thats how I started to learn to love myself even more.

Meeting and catching bck with Mister Lim wasn't part of what I had expected to meet in this later half of the year. Maybe cause I was the one who gave in more to a r/s last time round, I was taken back when I observed how Fiq aka Mister Lim is like. The first few times when he brought me surprises, I was really very taken back. Subsequently, the way he always ensures i am all fine, little acts of being a gentleman, wearing my blades and such jus made me feel so diff frm how i was treated last time. I felt different but i was also holding back myself as I felt this simply doesn't mean too much either. I believe how a r/s works, is by building it up slowly and how we both recirprocate the same towards a r/s, our perspective of acts of love, how much space and privacy we give each other and all other things comes in together to make a r/s work out. I no longer believe in quantity but quality of love. Somehow as we gets older, our thinking changes for the better along with us. 

I guess I am learning how to love and be a lover again. Everyone falls and picks themselves up at diff points of their life and learn to be better, I am glad I am now learning all over again :)

Thanks for all the good karma, i believe in that now :D

Love,
