爱情需要经营

很多人都一致认同爱情是神圣的。爱情是几乎每个人的生活中都必经的一个过程。你认同吗？

小时候，我对爱情的误解就是，能够一起结婚到老，就是爱情。长大了，爱情则是两个相爱的男女幸福快乐的在一起，不离不弃的，包容对方的好与坏。换句话说，爱情是盲目的，情人眼中出西施就是爱情的魔力。

现在，提到“爱情” 这两个字，给我很多不同的想法，和一些复杂的心情。

其实，不管从小的爱情观念和长大以后有多大分别。生活当中就是离不开吵架这个事实。更逃不过悲哀或伤心的时候。

那么，都该如何去面对呢？想问问，有多少人，会在伤心的时候想一些开心的事呢？

许多人，最常犯的错误，就是伤心时，就爱注射给自己不好的想法，让自己越来越悲，越来越沮丧。而且，还狂想着另一半的错，期望他可以向自己道歉，认错，和讨自己开心。要是没有，就一直和对方冷战下去，直到对方投降为此。

但是，这样做，只会伤到这段感情。把小事搞得不可收拾的余地。值得吗？就算，等到其中一方投降认输了，这段感情也会留下隐形的疤痕。更不值得原谅的是，吵架当中，对对方说一些很伤感的话，而且是不真实的狠话。

“忍一时，风平浪静，退一步，海阔天空” 这句名言，很多人都会。可是，有多少人懂得去运用？如果，你们珍惜你们的爱情，不管是男方或女方不对也好，只要任何一方愿意退一步，一切都可以海阔天空。大事化小，小事化无。

所以，一对情侣吵架的时候，与其一直转牛角尖，倒不如回想一下他/她为你做过的好事，和一起开心的事，那不是更好的解药吗？

我没有说这是一件很容易的事情。当然，要是你懂得如何去经营你的爱情，那么幸福不就掌握在自己的手中了吗？

Normal Pictures

The other day, I was chatting as usual via MSN. Like everyone does, I displayed my favourite photo. ^_^

I have not get asked from any of my friends though about the displaying picture I showed until that very day.

A friend: " I wonder why girls love to display this kind of pictures but not the normal pictures?" (something like this)
Me : " ......... er.... what did you mean by normal pictures??"

The first thing that crossed my mind was passport pictures - "normal pictures" like this ...

Where you need to sit real straight, head straight, show your ears, clear look of your face, not wearing hat nor spectacles, almost "naked" and DULL and BORING... Hey! I look so ... so ..... =.=

Okay! This picture will definitely be REJECTED by the home office if you ever wear spectacles to take the picture. I think they don't like to see your Nerdy look... lol

Or perhaps this one! Sorry I just can't help but to edit a bit on the picture so that it won't look so DULL.

So, what I'm trying to say is, everyone's "normal pictures" point of view are different. As long as the person in the pictures is the owner himself/herself (whether he/she is looking at the camera or not.. hahahaha) as long as the pictures are not scandles, then that's the "normal pictures". ^_^

FYI, I was showing this Displaying Picture on my msn.. hahaha.. ERRmmm.. does it not look like a normal picture to you??? *wondering*

Happy Birthday Mum!!

It's weekend and it's my Birthday!!! ^_^ Well, Happy Birthday to me!!

Most of the people around the world will never forget their own birthday. For them, their birthday is important as it shows how long they have been living in this world. However, do you know that your birthday is just nothing compare to your mother who gave birth to you? How many of you would celebrate your birthday with your mother? OR turning your birthday party into your mother's "birthday" party? OR saying thank you to your mother during this day? I wouldn't say there's none cause I believe some of you would at least show your appreciation to your beloved mother during your birthday. At least, I would. =)

Isn't it a shame to ask for a birthday present from your parent when you should be grateful to them? Or hanging out late celebrating your birthday with your friends and coming home late(even never be home), making them worry about your safety? Or feeling mad because your parent forgot about your birthday?

Anyway, it is never too late to say thank you to your parent when they are still around. =)

Thank you mum!!! Happy birthday MUM!!!! I love you! =)

Happy Birthday Malaysia!

Been years since I last celebrate this special day. (I even forgot when is the last time I celebrate Malaysia's Independent Day)

Honestly, I have totally forgotten about "Merdeka". 31st of August seems to be a normal day on my calender as people in the UK never celebrate it. My apology, not to say that I am heartless or being a traitor or I am trying to be a British people.

Apparently, some of the festivals I do not really celebrate them apart from Christmas, Chinese New Year, birthdays and special occasions like Valentines' day. (Yes! I am just a simple person^-^)

Still, I do concern about how was the celebration going on there. I wonder, are the flags still the "hard sale" products now? Is everyone compulsory to put on the flag(s) in front of their car boots still? I bet, the Malays are still the one who decorate their cars with big flags and going round the town cheering and shouting out loud "Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!"

All I can recall are these vivid memories that I kept in my mind. I do miss the good old days.

Once again, Happy Birthday Malaysia. =)

Just in case you ask,

I have deleted all my old posts simply because I think that I should start everything from scratch again.

WHY?

ERmmm..

Don't ask as I am feeling regret now.

New Challenge, New Explore, New Experience gained!

It is the "Bank Holiday" today. Literally, I have been spending my precious holiday relaxing at home. As my muscles are still in deep sore after the dreadful mountain biking on the weekend.

To be honest, I am not a good cyclist. In fact, I hardly cycle in my entire life.

So, this exciting activity was planned beforehand by my beloved bf, JL. Since the summer is kissing goodbye to us and he thought we should not waste the precious opportunity that we have, instead he came up with this idea - Mountain Biking at Dalby Forest.

For your information there are four different types of routes which I have listed down as follows:

Trail Grading System

Green (easier): Suitable for relative beginner/ novice cyclists. Trails mostly surfaced, may be loose, uneven or muddy at times. Climbs and descents are mostly shallow

Blue (moderate): Suitable for intermediate mountain bikers. Trails are approximately 1 metre wide and may include small obstacles such as roots and rocks. Mostly moderate gradients but may include steep sections.

Red (difficult): Suitable for proficient mountain bikers. Trails are mostly singletrack and surfaces will vary and may be challenging. Contain steeper and tougher climbs and descents.

Black (severe): Suitable for expert mountain bikers. Will include any rideable or useable trail and may have large steps and drop offs. Includes prolonged steep loose/ rocky climbs and descents.

For more information, please visit Dalby Forest

Aparently, we agreed to go for the Green route simply because we are all beginners.

Unfortunately, nothing was ever easy. The steep slope at the starting point has given us the most difficult time no matter how hard we tried to cycle. At the end, a few of us had to get off from the bikes and pushed ourselves forward.

Then, off we went for the bumpy and muddy journey under inconsistent weather(5mins showers, 5mins sunshine, on and off.. NICE!)

Overall, the Green route(easiest) was not easy, climbs were not that shallow, muddy (most of the times due to the rains) Yet, we were able to get to the finish line. (I was the first =P among all)

And Yes! I felt quite happy for what I have achieved. I will definitely go for mountain biking again. All the sore I feel now is worth it, totally worth it. =)
