We are proud to present two furry new members of Uno Haven...

Chipy & Daley!!!

This is our FIRST pet together and we are really nervous cos both of us are very suaku in handling hamsters.
Every now and then we will check in to make sure our hamsters are still happy and sleeping well. We are kinda like parents now...hahaha! :P

So far so good... and even though we have yet to play with them, we have grown very fond of them during these past 2 days. :) So cute and furry... hee hee...

Enjoy the pictures!

Have a great week! :)

We are the CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!

2008-05-12T03:38:00.002+08:00

One word to describe Man Utd winning the EPL Title again... AWESOMENESS.

And for my favorite player of all time - RYAN GIGGS to score a stunning goal and to lift up the huge and gorgeous trophy... SIMPLY AWESOME...!!!

What a night... glorious glorious Manchester United... =)
(Chelsea drew their last game at the last minute with Bolton)

I watched the match together with Melvin, Desmond, Ron and Jennifer at Ron's place. While they are a bit sian, saying that Man Utd will surely win the title, I was a little afraid and nervous. But I yelped with joy when Man Utd was given a penalty quite early in the game.

Of cos I do not want my beloved team to win a game with penalty and so to prove that they are indeed champions, Giggs scored the 2nd goal in the 2nd half... 0-2!! :)

Next, we'll meet Chelsea for the FINAL SHOWDOWN - CHAMPIONS' LEAGUE FINAL!
It will be at David's house along with the same soccer gang. Join us if you want to see the magnificant glory of Man Utd (ok i am bragging now... i have no confidence...and i am nervous...lol)

Glory Glory Man Utd!!!!

A Special Entry dedicated to W300: Part I

2007-12-25T02:57:00.000+08:00

Hello everyone!!! Wondering by now who else is still reading michelle-ism.... haha... it is growing spiderwebs all around along with all the nonsense spam in my tagboard.

Sorry for being sooooooooo lazy in updating. I am more of a writer than a blogger in a sense I dun blog about my daily events in my life.

SO, if I can wait like 1 year + for Harry Potter, you can wait a few months for more of my "wisdom".

Well, it is time for a new entry!! (and hopefully more new ones in the near future??)

And what better to update than to update on Christmas Day itself?!?

However this time, this entry is specially dedicated to my dear members in W300, who also are the most faithful readers even when I am not blogging...hee hee.

So if you are not from my CG, probably this entry will not be applicable to you... so stay tuned to my next post on "New Mind, New Man".

***********************

My Members (discussed not in any form of order)

1) Elaine

She is a very capable person who makes things happen.

Many times people may think she is a kanchiong spider, but what I personally feel is that she takes things seriously and aspire to give her very best in whatever she does.

AND I believe this is the reason many laid back people (sometimes myself included) will feel threatened by her enthusiasm.

Personally, I feel that she will be a great leader in future and I pray that I'll be the one to help her achieve this dream :)

2) Jiasheng

Man of all Men - Jiasheng aka the "Most Wanted"

He is one of the most underrated person I ever known. Hidden behind this kind and "gentle" looking individual is a sweet, funny (lame) and passionate young man who knows exactly how he feels and what he wants..... esp when he first responded to the altar call.

I knew from then that this young man will give all out for Jesus Christ.

But it had been a quiet (except for one minor hiccup) 2 years for Jiasheng until second half of 2007.

God has spoken to me about getting Jiasheng to do more important things in the CG and I was very excited when I made that phone call to have a chat with him.

He had a great attitude and somehow I felt this time, Jiasheng will make it because he has matured along the years.

From joining the Usher Ministry to helping the CG as an active helper, Jiasheng has always avail himself and volunteer to help in many areas (big or small). Not forgetting that he will always buy drinks for me for almost every cell group meetings and even outings.

Looking forward to see him grow even more in 2008!

3) Yvonne aka Orca Woo PEIWEN

She is still the lamest (or most random in her words) person I ever known. And she got this weird fetish for my chinese name which until now I do not understand why. (Stop influencing the members to write only my chinese name in the tithing envelope!!! >___<)

Well, we knew each other for quite a long time now, and had many ups and downs. Definitely many things changed along the way but I am glad she is still part of my life and a great blessing to me as well. :D

Of cos there are many things in her life I still frown upon but I have learnt to accept her for who she is by now. I know that God has a plan for her, and in due time she will begin to accept her calling and purpose, and by then she will have no choice but to change for the better!!

4) Huiyun aka Japfone or KELLY..hahahhahhhahaha

She is the one who is there for me when I needed help with the CG especially in 2006. I greatly appreciate it as I will have an even tougher time if not for her.

She is a great friend to have once you get to really know her. I enjoyed our photo trips together and all the times when we just hang out and laugh at nonsense things.

I greatly miss those times man... :(

I hope to see major breakthroughs in her life in 2008. :) Jia you!!!

5) Joachim (or self-proclaimed Wolverine...erm..I think Mickey Mouse more suitable la..hahaha)

He is a very lovable boy right from the start I met him. And his laughter is very contagious.

He is very talented in many ways but sometimes failed to see that (or sometimes too bhb.haha)

Overall he is quite well behaved (infront of me) but I do feel that he is not maximising his potential.

Recently I was pleasantly surprised he still remember one of the visions that he used to share with me quite a long time ago. I thought that is well buried underground (by himself) but apparently it is not!! In fact I always believe when God gives you a vision, He won't take it back.

I hope in 2008 he will prove to no one else but God that he is really serious about the calling that God has placed in his hands. Don't let 2008 just pass you by Jo! :)

What is Beauty?

2007-06-07T01:59:00.000+08:00

Caution: Long Read and Few Pictures. Only for the intellectuals. HA HA HA!
-----

WHAT IS BEAUTY?

Dictionary.com defines beauty as this:
"the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest)."

Let us take a look at some of the responses I got from various ones. Not all are good definitions but nevertheless, it gives me the idea how people viewed beauty in general.

One person feel that:
"beauty=Charisma= confidence=knowing who u r= LOVE YA SELF"

A few stated the obvious:
"beauty = good personality + good looks"
"beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder"

One dude was really honest:
"beauty=dark, thin, small and curvy" LOL

One bitter man said this:
"beauty... it used to be someone but now it's not? it used to be mine but someone stole it?"
...............................O______O
He even went further and said this:
"it used to be fine but it turned into some slime?"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! *coughs*
Ok larh, I shouldn't laugh at other people's misery but I applaud my friend's creativity and honesty. *CLAPS*

A good and detailed answer I got is this:
"beauty.... it could be a breathtaking sunrise...a beautiful picture, a beautiful girl, not necessary visual. I consider real love itself beautiful. And also music or a well choreographed dance...
To me, beauty is whatever that tugs at my heart, or triggers an emotion of yearning or longing and a sense of admiration and awe."

Well said.

SO WHAT IS BEAUTY TO MICHELLE-ISM THEN?

I believe everyone is really beautiful inside.

The problem is that nowdays no one bothers to bring out the inner beauty that is within them, and no one bothers to know and see the inner beauty of others.

What everybody knows and sees, is the obvious physical beauty/appearance.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problems with people wanting to be beautiful on the outside.
In fact, if possible I will like to be more GORGEOUS on the outside by 1000 times more. (even though i am super gorgeous now, but you know that michelle-ism is never satisfied. hahahhaha!)

What I am afraid is that people are forgetting that beauty is not just on the outside, but inside as well. And they forget that inner beauty is always more beautiful and glorious than physical beauty, and chose to ignore the former.

What is inner beauty then?

A simple definition to me is that it is the story behind every single person.

You don't have to be a Mother Theresa to consider being beautiful on the inside.

Nor do you need to force yourself to do charity work or donate lots of money to various organizations to prove that you are beautiful inside (though it is still good to give)

Being beautiful on the inside is simply just being the person God wants you to be.

No pretense, not trying to be someone else, not trying to gain the approval from other people.

Everyone has a story. And in every story, there are many ups and downs.
It won't be interesting to read if everything is good and smooth sailing yar?

This is what makes a story beautiful... failures, tribulations, and eventual triumph over evil, overcoming all odds...

AND every story book desires to be read, desires to have great reviews and responses from the readers. But many times, people just ignore the content and just focus on the cover.

Not many will admit to it, but most people (myself included) will first be drawn to books that have a more colorful and beautiful cover. Likewise towards human beings.
Even the Bible says that men look at the outward appearance.

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

But what is the purpose of a book?
It is to be read right? *duh*
What's the point of being a book if people do not read you or appreciate the content?

Sure you may be popular, and many people will want to buy you because you look really good.
But your purpose is never fulfilled if no one actually bother to read what's inside you.

Similarly, as human beings, we all have a story to tell.
And I believe we have a desire to share... a desire to let others know the real person inside the outer shell... the good, the bad, the happy, the sad... everything...

More importantly we desire that there will be someone who will not only read the story of our lives, but will appreciate and enjoy the content of the story and say "wow, this is a great book!"

Isn't that great?

But the frustrating thing is that it's hard to find someone who will even take the time and effort to read the story of your life.
Sometimes, that includes even the ones that are the closest to you.

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

Actually all these years of my life, there is not one who truly understands and takes the time to know who I really am inside.
There are those who attempted a little, choosing to read only certain chapters and not getting the full story...
And there are those who just like to look at the cover, or at the most, the content page.
Many are contented just to have a nice book to put on the bookshelf but unwilling to sit down and take the time to read it.

I am not trying to say I am very good looking on the outside, but well i can safely say I am considered quite attractive to many guys *whistles* and while that is flattering and great, its annoying and sad when no one is bothered to know the story that I desire to share.

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

Why am I sharing all these things?
I am sharing because I feel that we are losing the ability to enjoy another person.
In fact, I feel many of us are losing the ability to even enjoy your own self!

AND ITS SAD, SO SAD... ITS A SAD SAD SITUATION... and ITS GETTING MORE AND MORE ABSURD... *winks*

Take for example, you see a beautiful sunset

For most people, the first response will be like "WOW!! It's so beautiful!!!"

But to me, sometimes it feels that it is something more than just a beautiful sight... you'll feel that it is almost speaking to you!
I am not sure how many of you who are reading this can understand what I am talking about, but for me, I do not just like to look at beautiful sceneries, I like to "feel" and relate to them.

Call me crazy... or melancholic... wadever... its a surreal and indescribable feeling...

One of my favorites is watching rain (not the korean singer larh!)... to stand and observe how it started, how it became bigger and bigger... and finally how it ended.

Wahh..michelle, why are you so gloomy?? NO.... I AM NOT!!!
In fact, its really a warm feeling inside... you gotta experience yourself to understand what the heck I am talking about.. haha.. =)

In case you think I am a sadistic fool, another favourite of mine is standing in the midst of a beautiful, colorful garden of bright flowers.
I love flowers, I love colors and I love the sun! Combine these 3 and you'll get a beautiful garden! (I am sure I will enjoy the Garden of Eden =))

Ask yourself this: if someone were to read your story, will it be an interesting read?
Or will it be dull and boring?
Do YOU yourself enjoy reading your own story??
Is your story original and unique (as what God has intended to be) or is your story just a copycat of another?

Another food for thought: Whose story have you read and understood?
For those who are attached or married, have you read your other half's story?
You have never loved a person, unless you love him/her as a whole.
(How about God's story aka the Bible? Have you really take time to read and appreciate the manifold wisdom of God? It's amazing I tell you!)

One day, I believe someone will read my story, to appreciate, to cherish and to love and finally to be co-writers of the sequels of my very exciting and wonderful journeys of life.
AWWWWWWWWWWWW *grins* (i am soooooo romantic man! hahhahaha!)

And I believe those of you who have patiently read until here... your story will be read and appreciated by others too!
So start living out your story now!
Don't just be focus on building the cover cos it is NOT that interesting in the end! (I mean .....how interesting can a cover be right???)

Last but not least..........................................
............................
.........

Grab a "book" today! :)

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
WARNING: Many many pictures in this entry. Take your time to load and read! :)

It's my year once again. The Year of the PIGS!!!

muahaha... can you feel the excitement of oinkers like me?

the next time i am going to celebrate my year again will be the time I am going to be 36 years old.

can you imagine it? 36 freaking years old!!! I must be married with 2 kids by then man!!!
Hence, that will be my resolution for the next 12 years.

Anyway since it is my year once again (and turning 24 years this year), I must totally try out some new stuff as much as I can while I am still young.
And also I NEED to resurrect my old past funky style... i am getting more and more boring and dull as the years go by.... I BIND THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Sings Justin Timberlake Sexyback.. but changed to Crazyback.

So I decided to get out of my comfort zone (that is... my lovely home) and to go to a so called happening clubbing place. I suggested St James Powerstation at first as there are live bands there which I am more keen rather than dancing.
But sadly I was 'cheated' to go to Zouk instead and it was a traumatic experience for me MAN!

My final conclusion:
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY YOUNGSTERS OR HUMAN BEINGS ENJOY GOING CLUBBING.

A few reasons why I HATE the experience

1. SUPER CROWDED
- Basically i cant even stand till. Every second I will be bumped by people walking here and there. You dun even have much room to stand. What more dance???
The mysteries of the human mind...hmmm... sorry I like to have SPACE.

2. SUPER SUFFOCATING
- I hate the smell of smoke. I spent 99% of the time complaining to my very apologetic friend about the smell all around... that sticks to my clothes too :(

3. LOUD BASSY MUSIC
- The sound system was surprising lousy in my opinion. Though the music may be fine, the quality is not.

4. LOUSY DANCING
- Oh man, its pain sore to my eyes man... quite funny if you are into that sort.

In the end, dainty me managed to persuade my friends to leave the place in less than 2 hours.
I considered 2 hours (plus $20) of my life wasted. -________-
At the same time I looked at all these young people at the club and in my heart I feel a lot.... smoking away, behaving lewdly, trying to be someone they are not ... living an utterly meaningless life.

They need God and I pray that God can use me to be a better leader to the young people, to influence them to make the right decisions in life.
In fact I know of many Christians that chose to leave church for this kind of life and I really cannot figure that out. Why will anyone do that if they have tasted the goodness of God?
Why will they exchange their purpose and destiny to live a lowly meaningless life?

Dun get me wrong. I am not against music or dancing. In fact, I enjoy and appreciate music and dance a lot!
Its the worldliness and self-centredness that plagued these young people that troubled me.
That's why Pastor Kong's msg on Cultural Mandate is so important.
We really need to bring Christ into Culture and to be a louder voice than the corrupted world.

I know one thing for sure, you can't pay me to go back there again. Not even for birthdays or special occasions.
I will only go if you have booked the entire place, make sure is 100% no smoking, and i get to choose the songs. lol.
I simply hate crowded places. I simply hate smoke. Combine these 2 and you get the ultimate man!

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

BRINGING CRAZY BACK INTO MICHELLE'S LIFE

Anyway back to being crazy...
Here are some funny and wacky pictures of myself and my friends to commerate me resurrecting my fun loving personality.
And also you may find your crazy pictures here as well (if i feel is wacky enough) but if you do not like it to be shown here, do email me :)
Totally RANDOM PICTURES>... absolutely no link to one another... fond memories of mine :)

-> This seems harmless enough a shot, but get that I took this in the midst of giving tuition! My kid was amazed by my weirdness. (2004)

-> I barged into the Men's Toilet and took this picture. It was kinda fun and thankfully not very smelly even though my head is very near the area where pees and other smelly stuff resides... (2003)

-> I like to pose in toilets in the past. Dun ask me why. I dunno why too. (2003)

-> One of the best CG shots ever taken. It was good old times. Hope that can be built in my current very very young group. We can do it people! Bring Crazy Back! (2005)

-> You know you are a bit sick in the mind when you are very sick physically and you purposely dress up like an alien and asked your friend who was taking care of you to take pictures of you in such a state. (2003)

-> Me and my good friend using the limited make up we had to make ourselves look like ghosts. She is now married with a kid, cannot do such things with me anymore... sad... but she is the best crazy kaki I ever had! (2002)

-> I know... this is grosteque. But just remember I am gorgeous now. (2002)

-> We like to pose crazy in MRT too... the more people in the cabin, the merrier!!! (2002)

-> Posing as a retard is our FORTE man!!! Do you agree? I somehow lost the ability to now. Is it a blessing or a curse??? (2002)

-> Putting on SKII mask (first and last time la.. not rich) but ended up looking like Hannibal Lecter. COOL! (2004)

-> She might kill me for posting this up, but know that she only did this (wearing a shower cap while driving) because she was held at gunpoint by me. (2004)

-> Instead of dressing up like a princess, I chose this... which is so much more FUN! I could totally go out wearing this man. Start a NEW TREND... which I think is more stylo than Joachim's Vest Wearing... HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA (2003)

-> Me and my beloved China Friend Tu Gan Liang (he took loads of care of me while I was there) And oh, we were at the Great Wall of China. Great fun climbing!!! Come on, I am not that lazy OK?
He always claimed that he cannot stand me (my wacky ways) but I know he secretly love them! (2003)

-> My good friend Melvin who visited me in China. He is more crazy than me which means I am super MILD and DULL now.... Oh Lord... BRING ME TO LIFE MAN!!! (2003)

-> My Happening Class 4H in Secondary School.. Boy did we ROCK TKSS dudes!! (1999)
Many of my friends (of my generation) will agree with me that secondary school days are the most happening and fun time.
You kids betta live it up to the fullest!!! Study smart and play hard!

-> This is photoshopped... obviously....
Scared the socks out of me one night even though its me who edited. LOL... I am THAT urm... (2002)

- This is supposed to be a shot where we are both selling pirated VCDs. Clarence looks like a PRO man... ironically he is a policeman now, totally dun suit his 'TALENTS'... hahaha
Boy did we look like crap 4 years ago...hahaha.

-> We tried to look angry in these shots. Obviously not very good...especially me.
We NG for many many many many times. I cant stop laughing.
Cannot be helped.. we are too jovial liao.. :) (2002)

-> I still dun understand why Orca looks like that in the past and still dare to tell me she got style from young??!?! (or in her own words... CARRY OFF)

--> I like to take fake sad shots with my friends.
And 100000% of the time it just looks weird and funny. My hands are there to block of any signs of internal laughing.

--> This is Joachim. He likes to TWIST his lips when taking pictures. He feels that it is very sexy to do so. Dun ask me why. hahahahahhahaha

-> Dun ask me how I did it..... letting out toxic substances from my body without taking off my pants... It's a talent... not something you can learn in a million years.
You can tell from my expression that I am concentrating very hard to 'transport' them to the toilet bowl.
Amazing right? (2002)

-> This is a very powerful woman. She is BOTH Superwoman AND Trinity from Matrix.
I told you michelle-ism only associates itself with great and amazing characters. (2004)

- I was a very mean and sadistic leader who celebrated members' birthdays by torturing them.
I have since repented. Oh Father..... :) (2005)

--> Some of my SOT Graduation Photos.
Joachim looked much thinner then (hahahahhahaa.... ) and Felix and Bernard were very sweet to cheer me on with banners on my special day. Thanks man!!!

--> Benedict and his siblings. He has a great family. One of the best I have seen.

-> Orca and her wacky poses. She is still the WEIRDEST (and LAMEST) person I have ever known. Whhhhhhhyyy is she in my CG>>??????? I am sooooooo not her match man!

-> Awh... nice sweet kids from my dear friend's class. He actually exploited his kids to do this for me when I was feeling real down. Good friends like this are hard to come by man :)

-> Introducing young and handsome Edwin. New additional to the WYZ leadership! Welcome man!!! Keep those wacky poses! =)

-> Taken and arranged by Orca. This is supposed to be a sexy shot promoting green tea.
Ok lar, I am not sexy and maybe I will never be on the outside but I am super sexy on the inside. Yeah.. more than Justin Timberlake for sure.

-> Yes I know. I look like a teacher. HIGHLY intellectual. I know I know. Dun need to keep telling me.

-> We like to go TOYS R RUS and try out their toys and accessories.
I really like to wear costumes and take ridiculous pictures. Any sponsors? I gladly be a model for such stuff.. ;)

-> This was my newly multiplied W300 shot.
ORCA's hair was............................................................. ^F&^RVYVK

-> Yes Orca, your MOOSE has been with us since 1910.

-> This is Albert... Ultra talented Dude... can sing, dance and transform his face into >$%^(.

-> To punish one dude from my CG for sleeping on the bed that belongs to the ladies, we put on make up on him and then force him to pretend that he is dead (maybe not force, he seemed to be very willing to do so)

Me and clarence then proceed to pretend to mourn and cry.

I cant stop laughing, therefore I chose the easy way out by posing like that. So LOUSY man... I must improve in this area and be like Clarence, who acted so well (see 2nd pic)

This is SHEER TALENT i tell ya!!!

BUT being so generous and great in my spirit, as Love Guru, I shall give TIPS here for those happy couples and wannabes how you can have a memorable and great Valentine Day.

-->Can you see PASSION in my eyes??

Yes, I know you are tearing with gratitude.
Yes, I know you are DESPERATE to get a DATE this V-Day

Anyway this entry will definitely will help you make V-Day 2007 the most memorable yet!

So stop the anti-Valentine Day crap! Any excuse to celebrate LOVE is a great thing.
And even if you are not into dating, there are fun things you can do if you are GAME dudes!!!!

Let's start with those who are already dating and have absolutely no idea what to do.
Dun fret. LOVE GURU is here. Just remember to kowtow to me when you see me.

FOR THE DATING COUPLES

The Bible says "Money is Everything" and it is true. However that doesn't mean you must spend a lot of money in order to make your significant other happy.

I am going to give you a general backbone of what to do. (not everything you goon!)
Please use your creativity and luuuurrve to customize and make it as sweet and touching as possible for your dearie.
I am speaking on my point of view and opinion and not everybody feels the same so dun argue.
If you feel that it wun work, then dun do it lor. ;P

#1 Agree on a time to meet.
For me, to 'bluff' to your gf that you are busy on V-day and then suddenly 'pop' up to surprise her is one of the lamest and lousiest surprises anyone could get.
You make her feel great 1 day but feel like a loser many days before the day.

Also if you have not formally ask her yet, pls repent and do so ASAP. Taking for granted that as your gf = automatically go out with you on V-day are only for lazy loser boyfriends.

Of course dun be stupid and tell her what you are about to do. But say things like "I am going to make you the happiest girl this V-day" to keep her excited and antipicated.
Dun worry about disappointing her. Be confident and give your 100%. And follow my instructions.

#2 Choose the Places to Go
Have more than 1 venue as it creates something mysterious and fresh. Not more than 3 as too many is tiring. So the golden number is TWO.
Due to the lack of time, I am going to give some rough ideas only for those who are working/schooling and is unable to meet in the morning/afternoon.
In other words, after 5 activities.

a) Dinner Place
Unless you and your special one dun eat for various reasons, the logical first stop will be the place where you will have your dinner...duh.

Usually most restaurants will be kinda noisy and almost impossible to be cosy and grand unless you have money to go to more private and exclusive places which will cost you a bomb during V-day. (if you got the money, go for it man!)

Dun worry, I have an alternative plan for those couples who like to have quality conversation as they eat and dun have so much to book luxury places. BUT lots of work and you need to have a car or book a cab for the day etc.

Alternative Place #1: Beach
For those couples who are not particular about good food (trust me, it will taste like crap no matter how hard you prepare or da bao)

Find a good spot (as ulu as possible so only possible for those who drives)
I believe the beach will be quite populated during V-day so definitely wun be super private but it is still good to have quality conversation.

Pitch a tent
-Bring those battery-operated torchlights or lamps. Candles are kinda out as the winds will be too strong and impossible to place properly in the tent (depending the size)
- Bring a CD-Player (hp music still cannot make it la)
- Bring your guitar if you know how to play well.
- Bring things that both of you will enjoy doing together (board games, laptop games, dvd)
Just make sure your lights are powerful enough and you have enough battery if you are using your laptop.

Alternative Place #2: Condominium Function Room/KTV Room (GURU RECOMMENDED!!)
Must book early la, cos surely got people also think of such ingenious plan.
But if really cannot book, then your bedroom is a choice but you gotta really decorate it really nicely cos the moment she knows that you all are going to your house, she confirm sian 1/2.

- Get great and free friends to help decorate the place. (rose petals, balloons, banners etc)
- Get Big Big Pillows + Comforters + Sofa cushions and create a corner where both of you can snuggle and enjoy your champange after the sumptous dinner.
- Music is a must
- If your gf is those types who likes to have friends around, you can hire friends to be your waitress or waiter (pls pay them)
- Food wise can just da bao but presentation wise must be top notch lar. Arrange in terms of course will be best. (starters, main, deserts)
- Increase fun by creating a fun menu (orders include hugs and kisses or dance and other performances by you)

b) Second Destination

Depending on what the both of you like to do... it varies.
The second destination should be the opp of what you did in the first destination.

For e.g if you went to the beach (soothing), perhaps you will like to end by going to town to watch movie or St James Powerstation to dance and drink (more happening)

Or if you went to the expensive restaurant or have a fun exciting time at the function room, you may want to end it at the beach saying sweet nothings to each other :)

Thats all for you guys. I am so envious of all the happy couples around the world so do treasure what you have and have loads of fun. Scroll down further for tips on v-day gifts and flowers if you are not interested in the tips I am about to give to singles. hee hee.
--------------------------------------------------------

FOR THOSE WHO SUCCEEDED IN ASKING THE GIRL OUT FOR VDAY

Dudes, if you have not ask by now.... you are soooooooooooooo late already.

Not much tips on how to ask though. You gotta simply just ask.
Try not to ask via sms or msn. (super not sincere :(...)
Calling or in person is much more personal. Must respect the girl you like.

Congrats to those who asked and got the "yes" reply. Now to make sure your date will not be a disaster.
The above suggestions for couples will be too extreme for first dates.
However if you are on the verge of getting together, the above suggestions will be more appropriate than the below.

First date (or first few): What can you do then?
- Go to nice normal restaurant. It is quite noisy but good for first dates cos you may get too awkward and silence will just make it even worse.
- Pay for the meal guys. Dun be stingy.
- Have quality conversation. Be interested in the person.
- Take note of certain things she shared (will be useful for your future use)
- Go for a drink at some nice music bar or catch a movie depending on her personality.
- Send her back.
- Call her shortly to thank her for the wonderful time and to wish her good night.

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

ALL ABOUT THE GIFTS/FLOWERS/BEARS

What is V-day without gifts, flowers etc????

--> the best bouquet i ever received!

SOME DOs and DONTs.

Flowers/Chocs/Bears are liken to WRAPPERS. They are not the main gift and shouldnt be.
- Do not buy one stalk or 3 stalks. Get at least a bouquet of 12!
Why? Because almost every girl on the street will carry a nice big bouquet. Dun embarrass her with a tiny stalk. Come on, she deserved the best!!! :)
- You CANNOT date a woman out on V-day without flowers. Even if she is not particular about flowers. It is about FACE. And making her feel proud and great.
Unless she hates flowers to the core or is allergy to them. But RARE la... who doesnt like pretty things?
- Bears are optional - only if she really likes attention and soft toys
- Plastic transparent wrapping for flowers is a NO NO... So ugly... Pls go to a nice florist shop.
- Depending on your budget, get her a nice gift. Wrapped nicely.
- Write her a nice long meaningful letter - hand written, add in some sketches if you can. (GURU RECOMMENDED)
- Make her a card if you have the time.
- Compose a song
- Please compliment her appearance the first thing you do.
.....

there are sooooo many things you can do for each other this V-day.

enjoy celebrating love!!

if you still remember me... juz send me nice flowers to console me.

thats all for today. ta ta!

UPDATES!!!! Dear Ber reminded me that girls should do something for their guys.
Besides buying ridicuously expensive gifts for our men, the best thing you can ever do is to constantly compliment him and appreciate him for every little thing he did for you.

Show off the things he did to your friends, his friends, your family etc. Let him know you appreciate him alot alot. :)

Have a lovely and fun Valentine's Day! Be sure to share with me what fun things you did!!!

A Must Read!!! Choosing the Right Toy *****

2007-01-11T14:47:00.000+08:00

Thank you for all the wonderful feedback regarding michelle-ism.
I am very happy to be able to IMPART wiiiissssssdoom to you. *grins*

"Yeah, I am so great"

Ok lar, I dun update very often but do check back once in awhile to absorb the goodness of michelle-ism.
Comments are very well appreciated, and if you like to be "involved" in my -ISM, you can always email or msg me any interesting topics that you will like me to blog.

Hahaha.. this is not professional journalism, as you can tell from my broken engrrrish and grandma.
But I know YOU LOVE IT when I am EGOistic... I believe my BHB-ness has made many of you HIGH and confident too. :) So I am very happy to be able to boost your self-esteem through this blog.

--> Examples of people getting more macho after reading my blog.
----------------------------

Now BACK to TOPIC:

You lucky people are soOooOoOOOOOO gonna be blessed by this entry of mine (that is if you apply all the principles given to you)

Everybody knows that I am most pro and expert in choosing the right toy (by everybody i meant me and woofy)

Maybe some of you are rolling your eyes O___O at the thought of having soft toys in your life again... my friends you need to be delivered from this terrible terrible mindset.
Yes, I am talking about YOU!

Today I want to set the people free.
No more DULL AND UGLINESS.

No more STIFFNESS AND LEGALISM.

No more CUTE THINGS ARE FOR KIDS ONLY.

Once again michelle-ism is going to help MILLIONS of people... not only find the Right Person, but also the Right Toy.

Let's take a moment to clap and applause for this amazing blog entry.
If you want, you may also lift up your hands and drool at my wondrous nature.

Alright alright... enough drooling and admiring... let's get on with the REAL STUFF.

---------------
WHY SHOULD WE HAVE SPECIAL SOFT TOYS?

First of all, I am not asking all of you to buy lots and lots of soft toys and stack them in your room (or boxes!!!)
I am not into wasting space and attracting dust.

But I want to educate you on the importance of having special soft toys in your life.
Toys that connect to you in a deep and special way.
Toys that represent someone important to you.

In fact, all of us should have ONE toy that represents our alter ego (meaning our other self)

Living in this fast pace hectic world, many of us find it hard to express our feelings and intentions.
Some of us live like robots whereas some of us try too hard to express our thoughts, resulting in lack of the ability to listen to others.
But whatever it is, the truth is almost all of us have at least 2 different sides to our personality.

So without further ado, let me introduce to you my alter ego, WOOFY!!!!

She has been with me for 14 years going on to 15 years this year! (since I was 9 years old)
And she has been a big part of my life.

So what is Woofy like?
- Very cute
- A great listener
- A fun dancer
- Squeeky singer
- Super loving
- Super lovable
- Never angry
- Self Sacrificial (always please others at the sake of self)

-> Isnt she sooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute?? (not me larh!)

Basically she is everything I wanted to be deep down inside.
For me, being perfect is simply being like woofy. (maybe except for the squeeky singing part..lol)
By perfect of course I dun mean like God, but in human terms, being totally the person you are deep down inside, living out the best in you.
And woofy represents the best in me (yar, except that she hasnt bath in awhile...hee hee)

That's why I like to express myself through her... always carefree, happy, joyful, jumping and dancing around... the total opposite of how I am like in the real world.

-> Dare to be CRAZY!

As you grow older, more and more responsibities, stress and obstacles you have to face in your daily life, and such conditions often "mould" us to be uptight, overly serious and lose our sense of humor. :(
Definitely I am not asking you to throw aside all responsibilities and start to play toys only (urm riiiiggght), I am just sharing that life is not easy and the hectic lifestyle in singapore oftens quench the creative spirit in us.

AND THAT IS WHY YOU NEED A CHANNEL TO UNLEASH YOUR CREATIVE JUICES!!!

I am not saying it MUST be a soft toy, but let me give you a few reasons why using soft toy as a channel for your creative juices to flow is a good idea.
Also with each reason I will help give TIPS on how you can choose your soft toy.

NO 1: THEY LOOK LIKE YOU (with face, body, hands and legs)
[you may argue that some toys are totally deformed and do not look anywhere near a human being. My friends, that is why this blog entry is for... to teach you how to choose la, you goondoo!! :) ]

TIP: Get one with good facial expressions.

NO 2: THEY ARE AT YOUR MERCY (You control them!)
They are your servants, and they will never oppose you in whatever you do.
You're the BOSS... but do be a nice one okay?
I do not wish to see different soft toy parts all around your room.

TIP: Do not get human-kind of soft toy. Preferably animals as we won't subconsciously think that they are equal to us.

NO 3: THEY CHEER US UP
Sometimes when you are down, surround yourself with these adorable furry things somehow make you feel that they understand what you are going through, and that you are not alone.

Also your furry friends are able to cheer your friends up especially if you have just make your friends angry.

TIP: Get one with big eyes and one with flexible arms. Able to flow with whatever moods you are in.

HIGH FIVES!!!!

SAD :(

MELACHONIC

NO 4: THEY ALLOW YOU TO BE FREE AND FUNNY (CREATIVE)
Once you are comfortable with your special soft toy, there are sooooooo many things you could do with it when you are totally at ease with your mind.
Of course you may wish to do it in your privacy in case you will stumble people around you.

TIP: Be free and flow along with what your inner child want to do. You'll be surprised how much you enjoy playing and 'experimenting' with the toys.

--> Dress them up, get them to read the Bible, Pile on top of each other, Play with one another, Pray with you (have a mini prayer meeting), Play games etc... Just be free =)

STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE TO CHOOSING A RIGHT TOY

#1 Scan the shop a few times, there may be a toy or 2 that you feel like taking a few glances to.
If there is none, move on to the next shop.

#2 Approaching the toy, be focus and stare right into the eyes of the soft toy. (do not buy any toys without eyes, they are practically useless)

#3 Ask yourself truthfully: Do you feel a warm feeling inside your heart? Something like an "Awwwwwhh" kinda feeling? If you do, go on to next step...

#4 Squeeze the soft toy thoroughly. Can it have many expressions? Or does it only have one expression throughout? Go on to next step if it is flexible.

#5 Put down the toy and walk a few steps away from it , do you feel a hinge of sadness from the soft toy? Do you yourself felt that if you dun buy it you will regret it even though there is no rationality in buying it? If yes, go on to next step...

#6 GO TO THE CASHIER AND BUY IT.

Me, the expert has regretted a few times for not buying certain toys that have some sort of connection with me.
Simply because I have LOADS of toys in my house.

Do not make the same mistake as me!!

I hope this entry benefits you in choosing the right toy either for yourself or your loved ones.
Let's make this world a better place to live in with cuteness and warmthness prevailing over ugliness and boringness Amen? :)

Before I end, let me show you a TRUE LIFE testimonial of how having a SOFT TOY will change you for the BETTER....
Presenting..... YVONNE WOO ORCA VON PEIWEN

--> BEFORE : ERMMMMM

--> AFTER: CUTE AND COOL

Ciao!~
Comments are very well appreciated!!

All About Love Part III: The Guru's Definition

2006-12-20T22:35:00.000+08:00

FINALLY!!! LONG AWAITED LAST ENTRY to ALL ABOUT LOVE!!!!
WARNING: Pls take your time to read and absorb the goodness of michelle-ism

I know I know...

You are amazed by my manifold wisdom in love.

And yes, I am very established in MICHELLE-ISM, which is like the highest order of -ISM in this entire world.

LOOK!

MANY were amazed and marvelled by michelle-ism. Practically drooling at every word I say.

Today, I will hence end my 3 part series on LOVE with Part III: The Guru's Definition.
It may not be the same as what you feel love is, and you may disagree with all your heart. Whatever it is, hope it will allow you to know michelle-ism a little better :)

In the Beginning

I can't remember exactly when I start falling in love, or infatuations, but it is definitely primary school days.

Man, I definitely look like rubbish in those times, and very often people will mistaken me as 16 years old or older when I was only primary 5 or 6!! (Ironically now when I am 23 years old, some people thought I look 17... oh well)

Back to topic, I started having crushes when I was young. Maybe I was lonely or maybe I read too many disney princess stories, I often fantasize meeting a prince charming that will somehow rescue me from my current pathetic state into a life full of love and adventure.

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite disney classic of all times and I believe it kinda "mould' my foundation in love.

Unlike other silly disney love stories, this love took time to nurture and it goes beyond the superficial.
Like Belle, I often felt trapped in a world that is so routine and boring that I often daydream and fantasize about breaking free from all these mediocrity.

Many times I wondered why we must do this and why we must do that. Why love must be like this, and why it has to be like that?
In my mind, I craved for something special, someone out of the ordinary.
Someone who will love me in a way that will assure me that I am the one and only in his universe.

So romantic hor? And I was like in Primary School. o___o

Teenage Years

But during my secondary years, I kinda backslided from my belief system, because I can't find anyone like that.

Quite a few guys went after me (even though I look like crap) so since I was quite attractive in a sense, I am usually quite open to having relationships or steads we called in those days (oh man) O___O
My quest to have a boyfriend thus begun in Secondary One.

So during the first semester in Sec 1, I got my first ever boyfriend... (i told you I was skillful)
AND we were together for a grand total of ONE DAY.

Er... How come only for a day? Why don't you try to get know him better? You are Guru lei...

Firstly, I was 13 years old then (with no brains or experience), and Secondly,
the person was too faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar away from my ideal prince charming (more like a toad) and I got to my senses the moment he attempt to touch my delicate hand.
My reaction was like this (as illustrated)

Scary hor? Yea~ the Love Guru was a crazy, angry witch before she found michelle-ism.

So it is no surprise I broke up with him soon after that grotesque experience..........................
......... with a letter, passed to him by my unfortunate friends (so very the childish and duh right? Yeah i know -___-)

Anyway, despite such ridicuous first experience, my quest to have a boyfriend didn't stop. I believe there is one word to describe this....

DESPERATE

Yes, your beautiful great one here was actually ddddeesssperraatteee (though I die also wun admit in those times)

When I watch movies or read those romance novels, I would be fantasizing when my prince charming will come. My conversations with my equally "desperate" girlfriends will be all about boys and our crushes.
We can indeed also have a TV series about us: Desperate Schoolgirls

Yet though I am desperate THEN (pls DO NOT say I am desperate now, I am sooooo NOT desperate..*wink), I do not want to have any Tom, Dick, Harry...
I had many choices.....

all kinds of shapes...

and sizes...

FIRST LOVE

I wish I can tell you that my first love was as dramatic as Romeo and Juliet but it was actually very very very normal.

However, the events preceding us getting together was funny like crazy (to me).

It is also super nonsensical and I wondered till now why I could have the courage and boldness to perform such a stunt, being such a beautiful and well sought after lady (yaaa riiiggghhtt)

--> Are you dazzled by my pretty face yet?

I was Secondary 3 and was studying in one of the worst class in my school. My class combi were the arts (me) and technical students with combined physics and chemistry.
As my class 50% were malay students, we would joined other classes for our respective mother tongue language classes.

That is when I meet GFL* (Guru's first love) in the class that I joined for my chinese lesson.

He was in a better class, taking History and Pure Physics and Chemistry for his combination.
He was also a nerd, looking every bit a nerd would and as for me, a noisy and naughty student, I didnt take notice of him at all for the first 6 months in the chinese class.

Things changed when my school shifted building and we have new sitting arrangement.
Being the last one from my class to reach the chinese class (as usual fashionably late), i have no choice but to take the last seat that is available... that is next to GFL!!!

Haha... you all may be thinking "Love at First Sight" but actually I was pretty pissed for being left out by my good friends (they sat together... hmmph!) but being a chamelon, i began to start to get to know the new people sitting around me.

He was rather quiet and kept to his own most of the time. So unless we were laughing at the chinese teacher for being dumb or cheating on our "ting xie", there wasnt much interaction.

I think I started to develop some liking for him is when he started to sing a song that I like (Boyzone - No matter What)... ya lar, i know it's lame but i was 15!!
Being drawn to the song and his voice, I asked if I could draw a portrait of him.
(dun be alarmed, i draw portraits and other stuff often in class)

As I was drawing, I realized that he got very nice and big eyes (he wears glasses, but becos of my limited drawing skills, I requested that he takes them down for the portrait)
Therefore I begin to develop feelings for GFL. O______O

-->BIG EYES

My friends werent very supportive though, they felt that he was ugly and nerdy but I couldnt care less. The more I see him in school, the more I liked him, so I tried my best to look pretty and cool during chinese class. But that doesnt seem to work as he simply did not seem interested in me.

Sad and desperate am I... I became crazy and hopelessly in love that I resort to asking him for a tissue to keep everytime I see him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH man... I WAS SUCH A LOSER MAN... LOSER WITH A BIG L!!!
Seriously if you ask me now, I also dunno what I do that for... I even wrote down the dates after taking the tissue from him. (super roll eyes o_____O)

My friends asked me how come I didnt tell him that I like him and ask him out, because they were so sure I could get him.
But my convictions were that a girl should never ever go after a guy (a conviction that still stands now)
So I sadly collect all the tissues and placed them nicely in an envelope.

Then came the bad news............. we wont be in the same chinese class anymore after Sec 3. (somehow I believe because the teachers thought that out class people were a bad influence to the class)
I was so so sad, but there is nothing I can do, and the school term is coming to an end. We werent be seeing each other anymore after sec 3. *SOBS*

--> depressed...

My good friends, seeing me so sad and depressed, offered to help me take his number and to ask him out. BUT, being so stubborn and prideful, I told them I will rather die than get his number and let him know that I like him.

The last day of the semester arrived. I was beyond consolation.
Then one of my good friends had an idea.

It was the most retarded idea of all eternity but being equally retarded AND desperate, I agreed to let her do it.

The Plan is this: She will go to him and ask him to lend her his LIBRARY card (she knows him as well) because her library card is full and she really needs to use the card.
The lame part comes: She will then pass the card to me during the holidays and I will meet him to return his card during the holidays.
Therefore she will need to get his number so that I can call him to arrange a meeting.

**yG8IGBGHEDI&* b*&t( shOGH/HGgigKG87UG9g*ig9GIGIg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man.... this is such a ridiculous request that any stupid person will know that it is a cover up for something.
What makes it even more embarrassing that she forgot to bring along a pen to write down his number (that era only the minority carries hp) and then pull me from somewhere to write the number down.
I think i muttered something like "er.. she is always like that" and tried to act irritated. His face was so amused I could die right there. -______-

This is how I ended my Sec 3, with the number of GFL and his library card.
Well at least is better than tissue papers.. hahahahahhahahaha.

But being such a timid and SHY person, I do not dare to call him... so I did another STUPID thing. I asked another good friend of mine (whom GFL dun even know) to call him and say if you want your library card back, call Michelle. So my friend gave him my number. (machiam like threatening people)

That was one of the most idiotic move... i ended spending most of my holidays waiting for the phone call that didnt come. I slowly concluded that he is totally not interested in me, otherwise he would have jumped at the chance to call me and ask me out. I also concluded that he was a stupid fool to reject me... hahahahhahahahaahhaa... yeah i was THAT retarded in the past.

THE TURNING POINT

However, its also during that time I went to church and got saved!!

WOOOOHOOOOO *CLAPS* CHEERS*

Very quickly I was distracted by the new environment around me... friends, excitement of knowing the Lord etc.
I also saw many of his NCC friends in church and but he wasnt there (to my disappointment). Therefore I just pass the library card to one of his friends as a symbol of giving up on him. That was supposingly the end of my few months crush on GFL.

The new year came, and as promised we had our own respective chinese classes and so didnt really get to see each other much. In fact if I remember correctly, I don't even see him at all. Sad as I was, but I have gotten over him and was behaving much normal (thank God for sound mind...haha)

As I was rather free at the beginning of the school term, I often stayed back in school to read and do my homework (yes I have repented) and wait for time to pass before I can go for my other activities.

As usual one day as I was waiting for time to pass before I can go for my cell group meeting, he came and talk to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Yes it is always good to go for CELL GROUP MEETING, pls join one today!)

It was a huge shock, as I was quite deep in reading something.
My heart pounded very fast but being very well trained in acting cool, I asked about his library card (again..duh..super roll eyes) and what he is doing in school at that time.

Sensing that he is about to go home, my fast mind quickly devised a plan for us to spend more time together. I asked him how to get to paya lebar mrt from school (because I know he will take a bus that will pass through the mrt)
He tried to describe, but me being such a direction idiot, he offered to show me by taking the bus together with me.
LOL... indeed one will become smarter once they know God. hahaha...

We chatted quite alot about school while on the way and he was really helpful to point out the obvious MRT station to me and I smiled all the way to cell group meeting that night. In fact I believe I literally hopped my way to the house.

ONE OF MICH's HAPPIEST MOMENT OF HER LIFE... was on a SATURDAY late morning... as I was waiting to go Service after my Art Class. (ONCE AGAIN GOING SERVICE IS A GOOD THING)
Like the other time he came to talk to me, I was stunned by his sudden appearance right in front of me (but in the past like never lei...hmmm)

We talked for awhile before he popped the question about the latest movie (Meet Joe Black), and whether if I have seen it.
Being trained in church (for 1 month plus... I even won the most win-some award that time!), I asked him if he wants to see with me even before he asked me!
I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL LOR!

And so, our first date is fixed!
I made the so called first move to ask him out. (Though until now he argued that he was the one who asked me out.... SURE BO?~!??!)

The date was great and was very natural. We chatted very easily and enjoyed ourselves very much that evening. He didnt do very much for me but I was contented as this day was what I have been waiting for since Sec 3.

THE START OF MY FIRST RELATIONSHIP

And also ever since that date, he will come and look for me EVERY recess to eat with me and asked me out many times in the week (library or go makan)... and eventually he will fetch me to school everyday (even though he stayed about an hour away from me) and we became a couple! wooohoo!!

But he never asked me to be his gf formally and nothing spectacular happened to headstart this relationship.
But it was a wonderful and beautiful experience for the both of us and sometimes we will talk about it to laugh (esp at my foolish-ness)

Though we are no longer together, we still remain good friends (until now!) and he is also serving actively in church now :)

GURU's definition

Once again, let's marvelled at the Great Guru...

What is love to me?

Well, it is very simple really

Love is...

... to know that there is someone there for me
... to have the extra boost of confidence because i know there's always someone supporting me
... to dare to fail knowing that there's someone who is still proud of me
... to be outrageously proud because there's someone who thinks that i am the greatest thing ever known to mankind
... to be as ridiculous and crazy but still considered cute and adorable

... when time flies when i am with him
... when angels flies when i am with him
... the first thing i see when i am awake
... the last thing i see before i go to sleep

To me, what I have described above is the most wonderful thing that anyone can experience.
And the good news is all of us can and should feel as good no matter who we are.

To end this entry... will like to close with a question to all:

Are you in love with God?

If your answer is:"How would i know?", you may look at the above definitions for some clues.

If you answer is:"Why should I?", all I can say is you will never really lived until you have.

"If it is destined that i will not find my other half in my lifetime, i will not regret, knowing that i have already truly love and be loved by the One Who is love."

All About Love Part II: Your Definition of Love

2006-11-22T23:44:00.000+08:00

Just call me Love Guru...

After browsing a few websites, I came across some interesting definitions of love.
Some are good, some bad, some ridicuous.

And because I am a certified love guru (see picture below), I shall gave some comments on each and every one of them .... for free!!!!

You may say "Almighty Love Guru, that is insane!!! For every advice of love you gave, you could earn like thousands of dollars... and you are actually blogging down for everyone to see for FREE????"

Yes, because I believe in filling the world with love.
Yes, I am THAT great.

-----

Definitions of Love from the world (not from Love Guru... wait for Part III: Love Guru's Definition of Love)

The Bad

"Love is never having to say you're sorry"
LG: On the contrary, saying sorry is part of the love package. To naively think that in true love there is never a need to say sorry (because its perfect) is foolishness.

"Love is a dangerous drug: You cant get enough of it"
LG: This seems true but it is not really in a sense. Because drugs only make you feel high but you are actually weakened while love only strengthens and make you stronger.

"Love is being a slave" (as illustrated)

LG: Love sets you free, nuff said.

The Ridiculous

"Love is a lousy tennis score"
LG: That is almost like saying love is love. Like super duh. -__-

"Love is a hot ass in a tight pair of jeans"
LG: I'm like rolled my eyes to the fullest. How superficial can one gets? Yet this definition stands true to many.

"Love is sold annually on February 14th"
LG: You can't sell love. Though I agreed that many shops (esp flowerists) took advantage of this day to earn lots of money, nevertheless any excuse to celebrate love in a big way rocks!
Love is never about scrimping you scrooge!!

The Typicals

"Love is the happy side of needing"
LG: To be able to need someone and not be living independently on yourself is a beautiful thing. But sad to say that many people have swinged to both sides of the extreme - either to become too needy (no vision for own life) or too independent (I live for myself only)

"Love is staring into each other eyes, oblivious to the surroundings"
(as illustrated)

LG: A fantastic experience, to be able to stare into the eyes of the one you love. You will see a lot, more than the reflection of yourself.

The Good

"Love is the difference between you and me and us"
LG: In a relationship, you know it is love when we start to think as "us", "we", "our" rather than "me" and "I" all the time.
When you learn how to live 2 separate lives as one, that is love.

"Love is being vulernable to the one you love"
LG: In other words, to be fragile and easily broken. To love even when it hurts.

"Love is the inability to be content without the contentment of another."
LG: Rather than being happy first, wanting others to be happy first is love.

TO SUMMARISE... Love is a sacrifice, putting others before yourself.

------

I agree even as a professional love guru, it is difficult to achieve such a selfless love.
All of us grew up learning that love is for personal gain and to reverse that thinking needs much effort and self-crucifying.

But as we gave up a bit of our "flesh" and our so called "identity" and to love sacrifically, you will realized you actually gain more than you lose.
It is difficult, but it can be done... bit by bit... step by step.

Maybe right now you feel that you are a lousy lover but the good news is no one is born an expert in loving (yes, me the love guru included)

So don't compare yourself with people like Mother Teresa, your mother or me.
Change yourself to be a better person one step at a time.
Don't wait for the right person, be the right person yourself!!

------

To end of this Part II, Let me give you some tips on how to love

GURU'S STEP BY STEP TO LOVING PERFECTLY

1) Sit down in a quiet environment
2) Think and write down a list of how you will like to be loved
(e.g. To receive words of affirmation)
For this step, be as specific as possible.
3) Do what you have written in your list to others

After you have willingly love others from your list, you have officially learnt how to love the way you like to be loved. This is the most basic kind of love.

4) Think and write down a list of how your partner will like to be loved
(e.g To receive flowers)
Be as specific and write as many you can.
You also need to do your research from observation, his/her friends, his/her blogs and of course from the person (but usually they wun say in details)
5) Separate the things that you have no problems with (e.g. simple things like buy a small gift) and the things that you find very hard to do (e.g. Using the money you have saved up (for yourself) to do something that will benefit him/her as well)
6) Do the list which you have no problems with

Once step 6 is mastered, you have learnt how to love the way your partner desired to be love, but that is not all...

7) Do the things on the list of sacrifices

This is the final step, and the purest form of love. Agape love that is.

If you have reached this final step, I can assure you that you have actually lived your life, and not merely existing.

Live To Love!!

P.S All About Love Part III: The Guru's Definition will consists of interesting past and current definitions from the Guru herself plus weird/funny real life testimonies and examples.
Stay tuned!

From Previous Blog: Being Simple Is Complete

2006-11-22T22:00:00.000+08:00

HeLlo.mY nAmE iS mIcHeLle. i Am sIxTeEn YeArS oLd pLuSz SeVeNz YeArSz.

----------------
Do you know people who type like that? This leads me to the conclusion that humans are complex creatures.

Simple sentences like this will cause them to lose their ability to type and hence changing the CAPS now and then gives them the confidence and feeling of typing.

Man, I didn't know even typing has dynamics! This is huge. O___O

But aside from typing, you see 'complexity' in the lives of human beings everywhere you go.
It is like a trend? Or juz another way to attract attention?

Take for example the Da Vinci Code, it is so popular because it complicates a simple matter to something very controversial and complicating.I mean imagining that Jesus was married to Mary (not His mother duh!) is quite an ultimate. *salute man!

But people still buy the story. Why? Because there is something more than meets the eye... or so they were made to believe.

The same reason why "made believe" supernatural stuff attracts people. Cults, black magic etc intrigues people because we just like to know the unknown.

When I was young, like most kids, I like to pretend to be someone I am not. Most of the time, I like to fantasize having magical powers (mainly mind reading & ability to teleport) I even tried to focus my 'energies' to teleport but failed. At extreme times, I will think that I am actually God here on earth for a mission (serious!)

But when comes to reality, many of us are disappointed. Sometimes too disappointed to recognize the precious simplicity that God has intended for us.

In music, we always say less is more.
In life, i will say Being Simple is Complete.

When God creates the world, it was in order and simple.
By simple i do not mean lousy or no standard. By simple I meant nothin is in lack.

When there is nothing lacking, there is no asking for more. And since what God creates is perfect, there is no lack, everything was simple.

It's when we try to complicate things then things start to go wrong. (Eve thinking there's more by eating that fruit!!!)

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwhhyyy then do we complicate things?
You ask me? I can only say becos we live in a broken down world. I am also guilty of complicating things when they are simple. You can say I am a complicated person (wait a min, didnt you say that about yourself too?!?!)

Deep down of deepest, I still love things when they are simple. Pure, complete & whole.
What about you?

All About Love Part I: Introduction

2006-11-22T12:04:00.000+08:00

L-O-V-E, the most complex yet simple word in the entire world.

Many has fallen because of this word, but yet many will still die for this word.

What is it about LOVE that everyone is so crazeee about?

What does it do to us that keeps us wanting for more???

----

Well first of all, let's us ponder on the definition of love.

The Bible's description in 1 Cor 13 (NIV) is as follows:
Love is patient,
Love is kind.
It does not envy
It does not boast,
It is not rude
It is not self-seeking
It is not easily angered
It keeps no record of wrongs
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Later on in the chapter it goes on to say Faith, Hope and Love will remain when everything ceases, but LOVE is the greatest among all.
This is the definition of what agape love, or the love of God means, and it is the greatest thing of the whole Universe.

Some people, when they read the verses, their hearts begin to fail, as they are so far from what love really is. Some, or rather MOST, brushes away that definition aside thinking that only God can love in such a way.

Well just like the 10 commandments, those verses serve as a guide to remind us how far away we are and thus to seek after God to help us even to love.
Yes God can give you the grace to love. And I want to be free to love in God's way!

Before sin entered the world, Adam and Eve knew how to love.
Maybe you argued saying well they are perfect... my friends, they are not perfect, they are just pure (without sin)
So even before God puts His salvation plan into action, love has already existed in mankind. He allowed us to have our own definition of love (as long it is pure)

And that will be my topic for Part II: Your definition of love.
I am going to share some weird definitions and some really touching and inspiring ones~ if you have any, do write in too!

welcome to my world... or rather home...

2006-11-21T01:15:00.000+08:00

its 1:17am ... arghh... and I am not asleep yet...

my mind is very active now... michelle-ism juices are flowing through my ears, eyes and mouth...

I daydream alot... alot is an understatement in fact... but i couldn't help it... my excellent mind is too active... its almost like a curse...o____O
As a result, my attention span is short and actually I thought of doing at least 3 other things because I was bored already typing a few sentences in this blog...

BUT I am going to persevere!!! michelle-ism will impact the whole world in the future...!!! I must preserve the memories of the most complex and exciting mind of all times...!!!

(of cos i am joking... i am one of the most boring people in the world)

anyway back to daydream... one thing i never fail to dream about... is my future home. in fact, i started to dream of my future home since i have the ability to think for myself.

in fact, i think i have rather high taste since young (of coz, what do you expect from michelle-ism???)... as i often frown at my parents' choice of furniture and layout of the house (i still do)
therefore i dream of my perfect home like ALL the time... because i really really really really don't like the place I am living now (in terms of looks... i love my family!!!)

Do you play the game SIMS? that is like my favorite PC game since Minesweeper (alright lar, i m not a gamer)
And no... i don't adore the game because I am a sadist who likes to control lives.
I love the game because I can build houses and buy all sorts of furniture, wallpaper, gadgets, decorations etc for my house.

With the help of SIMS 2 (and online search), I came up with the rough sketch of how I hope/wish my future home will be like...

Let's start with the first room we'll see once we entered the house...
THE LIVING ROOM

It will be simple yet artistic... i like the color combination of red,white and black for the living room (plus a touch of greenish from the plants)
I believe my future living room will look almost like the picture, except for the weird looking flowery pillows (will put silky red and black pillows), and the TV will be at eye level, instead of looking down.

Next, we'll have the DINING ROOM

As you can see, the color combination is almost identical to the living room. This is because these 2 rooms are closely connected to each (possibly without any walls in between) and therefore to choose another theme is ridiculous (to me)

However the walls will be covered with rough grey wallpaper to indicate a softer approach. Afterall, the dining room should not overshadow the living room.
My actual dining room will not be that big (as in the picture)

Unfortunately I could not find any nice kitchen layout from the web (maybe kitchen is too unimportant) so what I can say is the theme will be totally different from the living room and dining room.
It will be very domestic yet elegant, practical yet aesthetical... a totally different feel from the living/dining room.

Nevermind, let's move on to the QUIET TIME/READING ROOM

Alright, this layout is totally irrelervant

But the theme is perfectly ideal... its like once you enter into this room, warmth will filled this entire place.
Because of the irrelervacy of the items in this picture, let me describe to you what my future study/quiet time room will have.

- Big Book Shelf (dark brown)
- Piano
- Drum set
- Instead of sofas, big soft cushions will be laid in one corner (most likely for comfort during quiet time)
- Hi-fi with great speakers

Alright, let's move on... BATHROOM

I know I know... this is too extravegant. The marble walls are too much.

But apart from the marble walls (which any smooth wall surface will do), this bathroom layout is quite ideal.

Just need to add a shower (same place as the bathtub), a full length mirror and decrease the size of the room by 30%.

Bathrooms are extremely important to me. The most important room to me... after bedroom of course. Of course for this layout, we are talking about the master bedroom's bathroom.

The other toilets will just have a similar theme without the bathtub (just the shower) and a much smaller space.

FINALLY, we have come to the final and most important room...

THE BEDROOM

Okay, ignore the teapot and the books on the floor. Let's focus on the beauty of this room.

The theme is excellent. It flows with the living room and the quiet time room. It is kinda in the middle of the warmth theme and elegant theme. Fantastic!

The chair however, is off flow and too low class. A softer/warmer looking chair will replace that green chair and the chair is actually facing an unique looking huge mirror (for me to do my hair and make up daily)

The fish tank is a bit too off in a sense $$$ wise, and it is weird to sleep with other living things looking at you... so in place of that will most likely be a great painting or interesting decorations.

--------

Well that is all for my dream home!! It's very simple... no many storeys, no swimming pools, no weird stuff... just simple and basic with a touch of elegance and warmth.

Just thinking of it makes me feel so happy... :)
It shall come to pass one day!

Lalalalalallalalalalalalalala........ZZzzZzzzzz
