I finally found time to update! (No la, i'm just plain lazy to update my blog... hahah)

Back to reality... Back from my 7D trip in Taiwan. I didn't just go Taipei. I went around Taiwan... to some of their places of interests. And yes, with a tour group. In order to listen to some of the stories behind some of the places, and also because certain places are not so easily reached if you travelling free and easy.

A picture paints a thousand words.... so enjoy...

Me! With my dearie on SQ, early in the morning at 8.45 am. (Was telling him that we have conquered 'hai', 'lu', 'kong' aka sea, road and air together for this year. hahahah)



At the airport before immigration.



Our first stop, Taipei 101... But nothing to buy cos' they house mostly international brands such as LV, Dior etc. Sky's gloomy cos' of the forecast of a typhoon approaching... Luckily this typhoon bypass Taiwan (can't imagine the damage that will be done if it hits), thus the occassional gloomy skies and drizzles during the trip....



New York New York!



The Asia version of the "Statue of Liberty".



Been awhile since I ate pig's blood.... Woohoo....





The following day at 野柳風景區. This is the "Queen's head" - the landmark of Yehliu. But if you were to go there in the next few years, it may be different or may even disappear as these rock formations experience weathering and erosion....



They have stories on some of the rock formations... Mostly about the "Eight Immortals"









Doesn't this look as if I', so near to the sky?

Jiufen - the location for filming the show "Sad City" - but hor.... I don't know what's about this show but I know it won Tony Leung some awards.

Due to the pitch of the hillside, the buildings do not block the view of another. Interesting.



Brian's brother and I... Look at his face.. Machiam I force him for that photo.. hahha


We ate alot of mushrooms during this trip. This is good!!! You can have the mushrooms grilled or fried. And their mushrooms are super big!!! Delicious!



Taking one of their mode of transport in Taiwan - train.

A good 2 hour ride. Been sitting in coaches for long hours due to the distance between cities, towns. (We should feel glad here in SIN that from an end to another takes only 1 hour...)



This is Taroko Gorge in Hualien.







The water from this little waterfall is supposed to help blood circulation and many others. Compared to this, what is our little Sembawang hotspring water? Don't ask me about the after-effects cos I only dip my legs in for a while. Can't expects miracles, right?

When you go with tour groups, they definitely bring you to places where you can buy their so-called best products - in this case, stuff such as jade, royal jelly, pearls, lingzhi etc.

At one of their shops, as usual, playing a fool as nothing attracts my eyes except for the different carvings:







Being dragged to participate in the dance of 1 of Taiwan's aboriginal group at the 阿美族原住民山地舞表演. (By the way, Taiwan's diva, Ah Mei doesn't belong to this group.)



At Kaohsiung's Fou Kuan Shan Monastery.



The "Dragon Tiger Pagoda"


Ever seen a white bitter gourd?



Store selling titbits



At Sun Moon Lake in Taichung. This place is the biggest fresh water lake in Taiwan.

The "remains" of Lalu Island - part of it were submerged due to the major earthquake that happened years back.



At one of the stops, this is the best tea-bag eggs I think I have eaten!!!



We even took a photo with the Ah Ma!!! Heard that she has been selling this for the past 30 years. And guess what, it's only 3 for S$1.00! Cheap!



See what they are holding!!!



Kind of gross right? It's an ash tray actually. Think the aboriginal group residing at this area used to (do they still do now?) think of "this" as god. Can't remember the story about it already.

We bought a pack of "檳榔" so as to take a photo with the pretty and sexy gal. Always hear about the little clothings these gals wear in order to attract customers to buy those 檳榔. And they are really only in their lingerie.

Wana see the photo? Email me.



Actually, not all those selling 檳榔 will wear as such. Some wear normally.

At one of the night markets in Kaohsiung:

This is big right? Shiok! It's grilled cuttlefish.





Waiting for our bbq sticks...



Because of the protest against Ah Bian, we didn't manage to go CKS Memorial Hall and Ximenting. Sad. Watching the news everyday over as many as 99 channels, you can really see the clashes between the For and Against Ah Bian. For the first few days, the Against Ah Bian (all wearing Red) sits around the protest sites (which happens to be around CKS Memorial Hall / Ximenting). In the last few days when I was there, those wearing Green aka the For Ah Bian team started coming and that's when there were alot of clashes. Wearing either Red or Green at that time was pretty 'risky'.

While taking their cab in Taipei one night to go Shihlin Market, the cab driver so-called held Brian's collar and said, actually, I don't really like people wearing Red. But luckily, you are a foreigner. Phew....

This whole protest thing actually shows the level of freedom in speech and actions over there. Good? Maybe. Bad? Maybe. No right or wrong. A different view from each person's perspective.

But seriously, on a lighter note, to see what is being reported in the news about this happening makes me feel that I'm watching a drama.

Enough of political crap.

Back to Shihlin Market:

Me at Shihlin Night Market:



Guess what I'm eating? The famous chicken cutlet:



Their famous "Mian Mian Hua" aka "Chuan Bing"



Taking their "MRT".





Some of the stuff I ate during the trip...

This is interesting. It's actually fried bread with fillings. I suppose originally, the name wasn't supposed to be written in this way. It's supposed to have something to do with "Coffin". Thus the weird name. However, I think people prefer a more "prosperous" name.



This is not from the famous Ding Tai Feng. This is from Dian Shui Lou - heard that it's opened by a chef from Ding Tai Feng. Tastes the same to me. No difference to the ones we have in SIN.



Popiah with ice cream and peanut.



I may be back again, but, only to Taipei for the food and shopping. Sports stuff there are generally cheaper and of a bigger variety. If you like Japanese fashion, then that's the cheaper alternative to get similar fashion stuff. And I wana go Ximending!!!!

Alright folks, sorry for the late updates. Been pretty busy with work these days. Till then, please take care!!!

Cheers!

I'm not sleeping yet....

It's 1.39am on my lappy and I'm still 'eyes big big'... Gosh... I slept like 3am on Saturday morning...... My biological clock is going crazyyyy.....

Talking about crazy, I'm crazy about the song "Brown Eyes" by Destiny Child....
It's playing right now in the background....


Remember the first day when I saw your face
Remember the first day when you smiled at me
You stepped to me and you said to me
I was the woman you dreamed about
Remember the first day when you called my house
Remember the first day when you took me out
We had butterflies although we tried to hide
And we both had a beautiful night

The way we held each others hand
The way we talked the way we laughed
It felt so good to find true love
I knew right then and there you were the one

I think there is a Mandarin song that has a similar tune... but don't know what it's called. But I think the English version is sooooo nice........

Saturdays pass by so fast everytime. Maybe cos' of waking up late in the morning, Saturdays seem super short. I want longer Saturdays!!!!!!

Did you read the news lately?

Steve Irwin's dead. The Crocodile Man. The one who owned Australia zoo. To know more of him, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Irwin

I've only heard of him. Never been to the Australia zoo. And though I hate the animals, creatures that he deal with, I think he is someone amazing....

Though unexpected, but many guess that such happening will happen any time. Life's unpredictable these days. Traffic accidents, natural disaters happen every now and then. What's more to say, he is dealing and putting his life with at a greater risk than normal human beings.

Salute to him....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a happier note, I caught The Devil Wears Prada yesterday night. Woohoo.... Runway, here i come. As if. Very interesting show. For a good laugh, for some eye candies, for some envy.

Shoes, bags, clothes.... Prada, Calvin Klein, Fendi.....

I drool as I see how they dress up each day for work.... I guess it's every girl's dream to be in such a place to work. Seriously, do people in those places dress up every day to work in reality??? Hmmmm....... *Can my boss send me there to work????!!!!!!*

But it's not every girl's dream to work for that Devil. Haa.....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

What's been in the news lately...

The demotion of Pluto?
Rising in the number of young couples marriage?
Rising in the number of the young contracting sexually transmitted diseases?
New terror attacks and foils?

Definitely no good news.

When will I ever see news about the economy being good?
When will I ever see that there is finally world peace?
When will I ever see news that are just good??????????

I hope i will live long enough to just read the news and smile cos' every piece of news is a good one.... is it that hard? is it that impossible? who knows....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a better and happier note, my life's been pretty good....

Adapting well at work. Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll stay there for quite a while. Been learning alot. (And one of the skills is to have thicker skin... wahaha... oops!!)

Counting down again... this time to what? Make a guess........... :P

I'm a happy happy gal.....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

P/S: I can't help not writing this....
Why can't some people just move on???? If YOU are reading my blog, then i'm talking about YOU. You chose a new path, so, simply follow it and not turn back. Why pin point at people? Why criticise or comment or judge when you jolly know that you are not in the position to do so? By saying that you don't want to think back and to remember what happen and yet talks about it, don't you think you are so contradicting? By the way, being what or who you are yesterday, today or tomorrow, then or now, is all you own actions. Don't blame or even try to push the blame to others when you can't even control your own actions. Grow up, gal.....

tell u peeps something that i did which some of you might think i'm stupid. i went to squeeze with people at esplanade to watch fireworks!!! wahhaha.... it's definitely worth the wait and squeeze. reached there after work and dinner with brian at around 7 odd pm. and it was already crowded. luckily, we manged to find a pretty good spot, sit down, and watch Cars on my Zen..... Those super good spots and along the bridge from esplanade to one fullerton were already taken up when we reached. can you imagine? wonder what time those people went..... if i eng eng, maybe i'll also reach there super early to pinic.

super tired today cos i went for the realrun. 10km x-terrain.... didn't run the whole 10km. was telling brian that if i were 10 years younger, running or jogging 10km straight shouldn't be a problem. but not now!!!!!! it's been donkey years since i ran for such a long distance...... if it was walking, then it shouldn't be a problem... considering that i am a super shopaholic who can comb bangkok town.... :P (no la... i'm not that strong...) it was good finishing that 10km. though my timing isn't anyway fantastic, but it is the kind of satisfaction that i get from being able to finish it.... woohoo.... shall train up for the next challenge..... (as if!)

busy busy busy... guess that's i gonna be for this coming week.....

good nitez......

Just wondering....

How do I sing "Ba Ba Black Sheep"

Both Brian and I can only sing ...

Ba Ba Black Sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes Sir Yes Sir 3 bags full
1 for the master
1 for the ????
And 1 for the little boy ??????????

Hahaha.... Think apart from "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", most of us have forgotten how to sing such songs....

The Lake House

Feeling that it's time for a change in her life, Dr. Kate Forster (SANDRA BULLOCK) leaves the suburban Illinois locale where she completed her residency and takes a job at a busy Chicago hospital. One thing she is reluctant to leave behind is the uniquely beautiful house she's been renting - a spacious and artfully designed refuge with large windows that overlook a placid lake. It's a place in which she felt her true self.

It is a winter morning in 2006.

On her way to the city, Kate leaves a note in the mailbox for house's next tenant, asking him to forward her mail and noting that the inexplicable painted paw prints he might notice by the front door were there when she moved in.

But when the next tenant arrives, he sees a much different picture. Alex Wyler (KEANU REEVES), a talented but frustrated architect working at a nearby construction site, finds the lake house badly neglected: dusty, dirty and overgrown with weeds. And no sign of paw prints anywhere.

The house has special meaning for Alex. In a happier time it was built by his estranged father (CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER), a renowned architect who allowed his professional acclaim to grow at the expense of his family life. Alex feels a sense of peace here now and commits to restoring the property to its original beauty. He disregards Kate's note until, days later, while painting the weather-beaten jetty he sees a stray dog run across the fresh paint and then towards the entrance of the house, leaving paw prints exactly where she said they'd be.

Baffled, Alex writes back, saying that the house had no occupant before him and wondering how she could have known about the dog; while Kate, who just left it a week ago, imagines he is playing some kind of joke on her and fires back a reply.

Just for argument's sake, what day is it there?

April 14, 2004.

No, she says. It's April 14, 2006.

The same day, two years apart. Can this be happening?

As Kate and Alex continue to correspond through the lake house's mailbox they confirm that they are, incredibly, impossibly, living two years apart, and each at a time in their lives when they are struggling with past disappointments and trying to make a new start. Sharing this unusual bond, they reveal more of themselves to one another with each passing week - their secrets, their doubts and dreams, until they find themselves falling in love.

Determined to bridge the distance between them at last and unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary connection, they tempt fate by arranging to meet. But, by trying to join their two separate worlds, they could risk losing each other forever

Watched this movie with Brian on Wednesday night at Orchard Cineleisure. There were so many people, I think the cinema was almost full. Luckily we booked the tickets.

Back to the show.

Starring the cast from my favourite movie of the 90s, (just in case you do not know, they were co-stars in Speed, more than 10 years ago), it's about how 2 persons try to bridge that 'long distance' relationship. However, there were not apart cos they were in different countries. Instead, 1 was living in an era 2 years earlier than the other. And their means of communication is via writing and through the only mailbox which both of them are familiar with - the lake house mailbox.

Can't tell you the whole story as I too was confused with the ending. You got to watch it yourself. Maybe cos' I'm a poor story-teller.

But it's a nice love story. I wonder if this will ever exist in this world today.


There's many movies that I want to watch these days.

Click
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

Adding to Brian's wana watch list of Hard Candy, Hoodwinked.

BUT... I think, we will not be able to watch all... Hahaha...


Friday's here... Enjoy... Cheers...

Busy these days.... With what? Alot of stuff.....

I'm an auntie!!!!! Hahahah.....

Sister's little prince.....



Just sms-ed Sis to say that I want to go find her to see little boy...... think i'm addicted liao..... :P

I'm a "no-skill" auntie. My aunties were commenting that my carrying technique is incorrect.... hehehe.... practice makes perfect la.....



My mama, and her lovely grandson.......



Guess I'll be busy for the weekends.... Either par-tohing aka dating, or finding my little nephew.....

cheers....

Just wondering....

If i were to try selling some of my stuff online, do you think people will buy?

i got loads of stuff that i have not used, rarely used and i'm dying to sell them off. it's taking up too much space.

let me know if you will buy can???? i try to sell cheaply la.... :P

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

tired these days....

i even dozed off in the train on the way back home. if i'm sitting, it's no big deal. but, i'm standing!!! Gosh... can't happen that i actually was that tired. plus a headache actually. luckily, i didn't fall on the floor, else, can't imagine the looks on those commuters faces. and can't imagine where i am going to find a place to hide.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Took the feeder bus from the mrt station home just now.

Saw a familiar face - the bus driver. or do we call them the bus captain now?

I do not know him. I only know that he has been driving since i was primary 4. That was like 15 years ago.

It makes me wonder. Can people stay in a job for so long? 15 years... wow!!!! I do know of people who can stay for such long periods in a job.... but can i? maybe... maybe not.

Weekends always pass by so fast....

If only we work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Then we'll be off on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Why not off on Friday or Monday you will ask.... Well, a mid-week break is good, doesn't it? Whatever the case, it will not be happening.... Not now, not the near future.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I went Singapore Science Centre yesterday... Been a decade since I went? Can't remember... only remember that I used to go there for school excursions. Can't even really remember how it looks like then....

But now! It has changed so much, kind of like a maze now. Divided into various categories and all linked up....

Anyway, it's FOC, that's why I'm there. Hahaha... I'm a typical 'cheapo' human.



That's Brian at one of the interesting exhibits. Head on a platter.... wahahah..... why huh?? do you know how this is possible????

Now, it's me at one of the exhibit at the "aviation" corner... but it's a run-down helicopter. Think Science Centre should 'update' some of it's exhibits...



There was a demo on "Tesla Coil" and we had a look.... For those wondering what that it, here is a little portion describing.... Full details, please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_coil. (My favourite encyclopedia)

A Tesla coil is a category of disruptive discharge transformer coils, named after their inventor, Nikola Tesla. Tesla coils are composed of coupled resonant electric circuits. Nikola Tesla actually experimented with a large variety of coils and configurations, so it is difficult to describe a specific mode of construction that will meet the wants of those who ask about "Tesla" coils. "Early coils" and "later coils" vary in configuration and setup. Tesla coils in general are very popular devices among high-voltage enthusiasts.

A little "explosion" demo.....



Overall, quite an interesting little 'trip'. Seriously, I have forgotten almost everything about what was taught in school about science. Biology, chemistry, physics.... I can't imagine that I have actually studied those stuff in those days... they all seem so foreign to me now.

Something "sad" about this....



Can you spot the mistake?

OMG, I was complaining to Brian... embarassing spelling mistake? and it seems to have been there for some time... i wonder if anyone did complain. And i was thinking whether i should write to them about this.

I think i enjoyed this the most.... wahahhahaha....



do you see me? or do you don't????

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No Monday blues please.... no monday blues..... haha.... good night....

Home at this hour..... i should be working? ha.... ha.... took my driving test, and I failed. yea... sad to start the blog with a sad event, but well, first experience. not really bothered that i fail. if i fail because i didn't check my blind spot, if i fail because i did hit the kerb or strike down the poles, i'll be angry and disappointed with myself. but i fail cos' of external factors. haiz... yea, i know you are saying that i'm blaming every other person except myself for this failure. maybe i am. whatever the case, it's over. period. don't ask me why i fail, don't ask me how many demerit points i got. thank you.

On a happier note..... My new toys..... :)

these days, we are interested in board games....

see my new collection....



Scrabble!!!! Thanks Dearie for buying this.... Time to improve our vocabulary.



Next, Monopoly! Cute right? Brian got this too......

For those who have not seen me for some time.... I 'chopped' off my hair again..... Some say I look younger.... some say i look cute... some say i look weird....



Ohhh... and my newest toy....





Wanted a PINK colour set... but apparently, they say it's no longer available. And it's an export set..... No idea.

But i still love it!!!! happily ripping all my cds now..... and some shows.... and listening to zencasts/podcasts....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I miss playing mahjong.... kakis, when free huh????????????

If i announce that i went for the SIA flight stewardess interview yesterday at Swissotel, will u believe?

I'm serious. I went. It was a very very long queue. I wasn't eliminated on the spot. cos there wasn't any height measurement taken. But, i got eliminated at the group interview round.

Weirdly, I wasn't sad. I wasn't disappointed. I expected it actually. i knew myself. thus, i only went there to try as it was a dream of mine.

i knew if i were to get it, people will throw me alot of questions. especially those who feel that i am already in a good job with good prospects. some, who will also feel that i'm too old, by the time i'm done with flying, settling down will be at a very late stage. blah blah....

true true.... all of you aren't wrong.

knew a friend... nice meeting u..... Sherlyn (hope i got ur name right!) very friendly and bubbly girl.... wana try again? all the best to u if u r... and like i said previously, if u get in, i will ask u to help me buy things when u fly... hehehhee......

so, now, it's back to reality, things are picking up at work.... guess i'll be busy soon. good or bad? no idea... but i think i rather be busy... rather than constantly looking at the clock, thinking when it will ever reach 1730 and stressing how to look busy. hhahahahahah.......

a very busy packed week ahead.... hope you people have a pleasant week ahead.....

cheers...

love,
cynthia

Had dinner with my family today. Home-cooked food. Yummy.....

Mum cooked black chicken soup for sister.

I asked,"Where do black chickens come from?"

Dad replied something that made us laugh. But I'm not going to say..... What if i get sued for being rac**t?

Wahahahha....... funny.

I told Mama to ask the chicken seller the next time she buys it.

Questions:

Where do black chickens come from?
Are they different from the normal chickens we eat?
Are they black when they were alive?
What's the colour of the eggs of these chickens.
How do black chickens look like? Like those black swans?
Why are all those black chickens on sale so small. Don't they grow bigger? Or they aren't nutritious if they are bigger in size?

Then came some stupid questions... From me, of course. (Stupid and I'm still proud to say they were asked by me. Stupid me.)

If a black chicken and a normal chicken mates and an egg is formed, what colour is the egg?
And what colour will the chick be?
Will it be having black spots? Or will it be half-black, half-white?

Interesting... Can anyone answer my questions? Hahaha......

23 June.

Today, my best-est friend is no longer Single. Mdm Lee aka Mrs Neo. Congrats....

Today, is also a friend's birthday... Happy Birthday Evelyn!

Today, is also my new colleague's birthday.

How so coincident. Well, maybe, there are tonnes and loads of people having their birthdays today too. There may be also dozens of babies brought to this world.

Talking about marriage. Is one considered a couple after the ROM? In the legal eyes, yes. In our traditional grandparents, parents and who-so-ever, maybe no. They only believe in customary. That's for Chinese.

And if one never thought of holding a customary dinner? Are they considered married?

Yes? No?

And if they do not hold the Chinese customary dinner, are they considered defiant, jian bu de ren (literally transalated to can't let people see)?

Hmmm.... I never really liked holding a customary dinner. All I like is a quiet private affair. Maybe a solemnization lunch, holding the Chinese tea ceremony at the same time. And then off to my honeymoon.

What will the elders say? Is it really two person's business when it comes to marriage? Or is it something that more than 2 person has a say.

Oh man... why am I talking about marriage?

Cos' I'm envious that someone of my age is actually married? Hahha... Maybe. Maybe not.

I always tell people, if can, I rather not get married. It's only a legal binding contract. Maybe the marriage should come in when there is a baby involved - to give the baby a surname. Or rather, not let people laugh at when he/she is older.... (I watch too much dramas....)

Cohabitation... I feel nothing is wrong. Personal opinion. When 2 person are really in love, is there a need for that legal binding document? Is that a document to show that one loves the other?

As much as that piece of paper is un-important. It's also important for women, people would say. For? To get alimony when anything happens? To get assets when anything happens?? To buy security - I think so. Women are always sensitive, overly suspicious creatures.

Whatever your views are.... never treat a marriage lightly. No matter if it's legal concerns, moral concerns or 'face' concerns.

It's easy to just say breakups with your boyfriend/girlfriend.
It's never easy to say breakups with your husband/wife.

Sorry peeps for not updating... is there anyone reading anyway? Who cares anyway.... yea, the nonchalant attitude once again.... hahaha

I'm down with flu, and now with a sore throat. And I just started a new job. Wonder if it's cos of the air... and maybe the aircon ventilation? Whatever the case, I only know that the aircon is damn freaking cold!!!!

Today marks the 4th day of me working in town. Shenton Way to be exact. In terms of dressing, hey, people working in town generally dress nicer. Well, except for the minority. And i think i fall under the minority category. Ha... u think so? Maybe.... considering how a lazy person at times.... but yet considering how a vain person i am sometimes....

Oh yah... apparently, I'm no longer the youngest there.... sad. it reminds me of how old I am now. the youngest is actually born in year 1985. Wow.... not even 21.

21 years old.... getting the key. but seriously, when you're 21, do your parents give you your 'key'? the key to freedom? Yes and no i guess.... no matter the age, we will always be kids in our parents' eyes.

For now, that's it. I'm getting sicker.

TGIF tomorrow. Enjoy.... Don't forget to pray for me to get well soon. :D

I received a pair of diamond ear studs!!! Not 1 caret, but I still like it. Well, it's the thought that counts right? Another one, which is a bracelet. (Wanted to post pictures, but... I'm having problems with the pictures uploading.. sign...)

A farewell gift. Friday marked my last day. Working for 3 years 4 months odd, I left the familiar environment. Mixed feelings. Nevertheless, happy that I'm moving on. Hopefully, the grass is greener on the other side. Hahhaha....

Made a couple of close friends. Mahjong kakis, makan kakis, gossip kakis. If you are reading this, please update me with anything... please don't find another mahjong kaki and throw me aside..... please share any juicy news cos' i'll always be as kpo. Hahahah...

Excitement for the new job will probably set in on Sunday night. Will I be able to get to sleep? Hahah.. Sounds childish? Maybe...

But I know for sure that if I can't sleep, that's maybe millions of people who will be equally sleepless. They may be even more wide awake than me. Cos' the World Cup is here! (By the way, I told almost everybody that I resign in order to watch World Cup... hahahha)

Watched the opening match between Germany and Costa Rica yesterday. Interesting? I don't know how to gauge. Pretty ok? Fantastic?? But I know that I can never understand what is the meaning of 'offside', despite many people explaining that to me before. Too chim for me. Or is it because those people can't explain well? Maybe I'm just a dumb head when it comes to men's sports....

Who will win? We will know in a month's time. For those who have placed bets, good luck to you. (p.s. if you do win big, please share some winning with me.... pretty please....)

Whats your Hearts Greatest Desire?

Your Greatest Desire Is Love. You fear being alone and possibly losing the people you care about. Your probably lonely and searching for that one special someone to brighten your life forever. Some people may think of you as the hopless romantic but you have a great personality and your also a good friend. Your so compassionate and your constantly thinking about others feelings, sometimes even before your own. You dont like to pamper yourself, because you feel that when you treat yourself well your becoming the kind of person you hate. You dont like coming off as such a softy in front of people, but on the inside your not as hardcore. Your more and a lonely trapped butterfly, looking for the person to complete them.1 Wish- To meet your soul mateColors- Red Black PinkSong- Seasons of Love (Rent)Sooner or later youll meet the right person.
