Staycation with Love

image

Had staycation at Pan Pacific over the last weekend and I’m loving it so much! Although we checked in really late on Friday, but both of us still enjoyed ourselves. All thanks to Valerie and her help to book this room. 🙂 because we had a 3 days 2 nights staycation!

I bought some cupcakes for the staycation, and it is also my gesture to Valerie for her help to book the room. Without her help, I dont think we will have the room at affordable price. These cupcakes are from Plain Vanilla, somewhere not so near my workplace (but still walking distance). I am not a cupcake lover, but I just feel I need to buy something for the staycation! 😀

Valerie’s catch of the day. 🙂

And the next day, we woke up really early, just watch yoga on tv and trying so hard to do it is just so tough! Then we went for lunch. Headed to Suntec and saw Keisuke Ramen dining, and so we give it a try. Cola Green Tea! One of my favorite drink! And it’s only available at Keisuke Ramen.

But the ramen there is so disappointing. 😦

To make up for that, we went to Carlton Hotel’s Tuxedo for some waffles. The waffles are not too bad, and we totally enjoyed ourselves. After that we went for a movie at The Cathay. We took our time to stroll from Cityhall to Dhoby Ghaut. 😀

After movie, we went to meet my girlfriends and their partner for dinner. And surprise surprise! Rebecca made it for the meet up!

It happened that Jolene and family was having staycation at the exact location! So some photo with meimei.

And these are my girlfriends whom I knew since secondary school (excluding their partners). I miss Jesslin too since she moved on to work in Shanghai but I just wanna tell everyone that I love you girls so so much! Sometimes, I wondered what will I be without you people around! And I am totally in love again. I love you people! And lets grow old together!

H.A.P.P.I.N.E.S.S

It’s not easy to stay happy everyday, every moment of our lives.

There are ups and downs, happy and sad moments. Moments for celebration and moments to mourn.

Sometimes, we tend to dwell more into our sadness than happiness. I admitted that sometimes I have been dwelling so much on the negative side that I almost forgot that I have happiness by my side.

Sometimes, I can’t tell if I am optimistic person or a pessimistic person. Then this came into my thought:

No one can take your happiness away from you unless you allow them to.

How true it is. By dwelling into those sadness, I am taking away my own happiness. I have been allowing that person to take my happiness away from me.

Dwelling in unhappiness, not only makes you even more unhappy and pathetic. The worse thing could happen is it steals your chance to be happy. When I kept having those negative thoughts, I could feel the negative thought inside me are devouring me slowly. I feel like I am dying in my negative thoughts. That’s very bad. And I do sound pathetic.

Even though I was the one who made THE decision (and I don’t regret), it still keeps me pondering – WHY. Why things like that happened, why did we have to end up like this. Is it something wrong with me? Why this, why that. Such questions always linger around, never really leave me. Then I came to realize that not everything has an explanation or can be explained. But I am very scare, what if all these things will happen again in the next relationship? I know the best solution to this is: eliminate the negative thoughts!

To be honest, I feel sucky to even think about the woman moving in taking over my place and everything in the room (right) after I moved out. I have totally moved on away from this saga since it happened almost/more than half a year ago. I totally did. I probably still can’t believe that he did whatever he did to me. To think about it, I don’t think I have a place there (in that household/his heart). Ha! And I will totally remember what he said to me when I insisted on my decision, maybe not for the rest of my live because I have short term memory and I do not wanna bring such memories into my new life.

And I am so glad that I took that step, because if I didn’t, I will not have my happiness now. Some men treats women like dirt, but some men treats their women like treasure. I am sure mine will treat me like treasure. I am loving my life even better now; learning piano and what’s not. Doing things that I truly enjoy, going out with my favourite person in the world. It is very important to find a partner who can do things together, supports and encourage each other. It took me quite few years to be determined of the decision I made a few years ago. And because of this, I am happy because I think I have found that someone. And now, he matters most to me. 🙂

After finish writing this post, I feel the positive thoughts are rushing back to me. Writing about all these things does relieves me from the negative thoughts and gives me spiritual healing and I guess this is the only place I can rant out my negative thoughts. And when I read this back a few years later, I will probably laugh at this post. Hahaha!
