It was a simple time we have but sometimes simplicity is beauty and with my dear, it is always beauty. We strolled down to MBS where he showed me this amazing ice-less rink which operates on blades! And of course thanks to Doctor Felix who explained to my post on Facebook, it is Teflon! That certainly did save me lots of time goggling for it!
"Yes Teflon, everyone!"OHOHOH By the way believe it or not, there is a GC 贡茶there, with no price hike despite of its location at MBS! So who says everything in MBS is expensive hehheh
After that, we strolled slowly back to the MRT station, taking in the breath-taking view along the way:
"Melissa said I was smiling from my heart...is there a reason not to? :) "Dinner was super carbo-loaded! We had Rosti with Salmon and SUPER creamy Ravioli. The Rosti was great, the salmon better but the Ravioli was so "gelat"!Nice to be back in Marche after so long...last time was with my ex-fitness buddy Joscelyn whom I have sadly not heard from for a long time...sighs..memories..
"our sinful dinner!!"Then movie " The CHange-up" - simple typical movie about two guys who wished they had each other's lives..got it through arrangement of Fate and realised they had the lives they wanted aftetall..typical story plot, extremely predictable but hey, with Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman as main leads, two of my charming guys from Hollywood, and my dear as the movie company, the movie seemed just perfectly wondrous! :P
" yummmyummmm"THe movie made me think for a bit as I walked down orchard and I asked my dear if he has ever wished he had someone else's life. He said no, which is really good because that meant he has had a fulfilling life and is contented with what he had and has.
For myself, I remembered the period when Dad and my relationship went pretty sour and I came back from Turkey all hurt and wounded and I kept praying for God to give me a different life...to let me sleep and wake up as someone else...
Of course that never happened.
How about you? Do you have moments like this?
After these years of being jaded and dragged into this constant whirlpool within my family, I realised that Jan is not desiring to be someone else again. I have a beautiful great grandma whom I am lucky to have (still remember those days when I would go down to the police station to sweep the floor with her when I was very young); friends whom I still believe will be here for me when I need them; A selfless Mum whom I am angry with sometimes but I understand her pressure and difficulty; four fully functional limbs and five perfectly working senses; had lived a beautiful childhood which I missed terribly...especially the strong family ties then and sadly long lost; and of course recently, a sweet and endearing boyfriend (thank you God, for finally answering my prayers...at least till now, I think you are).
So for those of you out there thinking of the 'If Only's and 'What If's..trust me when I say that it is beautiful to dream but more beautiful to appreciate and accept. My life has had rough patches here and there and very 'dramatic', as described by some of my friends but at least now I am trying to and have found a reason to come to terms with it.
Have you? :)
