Love is an emotion that lies. More often than not, when you are engulfed in a feeling so intense and fervent, you actually start to believe you are in love. And usually after it is over, you realised that they are nothing more than just lust, crush or plain infatuation.
Understanding that now, I know I will be able to go into another relationship a more equable person. Not very romantic I know, but it allows me to be at the helm of who I am. And I do very much prefer it that way. Call me hard-headed but I don't like to be held in a situation which I do not have the control over, and that includes this thing called "Love".
Yes, there is nothing like "Love" to have your serotonin levels raised, heart set aflutter and make you feel oh-so-sexy and loved. But then, there is nothing like it either, to bring the demons out of you. Jealousy. Possessiveness. Suspicion. Emotions which I abhor. Feelings which I loathe. Fiery passions equipped with lots of tantrums, tears and screams are not exactly my cup of tea, so pardon me if I rather pursue a path that is a little less upheaval and traumatic.
So, a more pragmatic love anyone? Yes, please...

The Da Vinci Code...
No, no... I'm not going to wax lyrical about how exceptional the book is. It is a pretty good read which I finished in less than a day. The writer, Dan Brown provides some delightful clues to engross the readers to participate in the quest of the infamous 'Holy Grail'. The peek-a-boo clues allow the average readers like me to unravel most of the riddles with Robert Langdon (the character) without having to crack our heads too much.
Dan Brown has put together some fun challenges in his 'The Da Vinci Code' website for his readers to solve, which aren't hard at all if you have the book with you. I can shamelessly say I managed to complete it in one sitting without breaking into cold sweat, of which I must say to dear Mr Dan Brown, "You are way too kind to us readers..."

Oh, older me...
Ah yes, I ain't that much of a faithful lover when it comes to blogging. It has been a couple of months plus since I was last here.
Nothing much has changed of course. My work still drives me loco. Taking so much out of me, that every so often I wonder if there is anymore of me left for me? Thank goodness tomorrow is Good Friday and finally, some time for me to breathe.
I had my short hair snipped to an even shorter, boyish do. It helps to fend off some unwelcome suitors, especially at this nonce when I just want to be left alone. I am happy where I am now. Being single and thoroughly enjoying my own space. Well, I wished I have more though. More for me to do the things I love - reading, writing, travelling (or even sleeping)... I have come to appreciate this 'alone' stage by myself, something which I had never realised I would before. Somehow, being older allows me to have a more carefree outlook than ever before and the room for my confidence to grow.
In short, I love being older.
P.S. Minus all that lines and greys that is.

For my dear sister...
It's a brand new year. I'm not sure if I should start it off by saying something intelligent or just go ahead and list my New Year resolutions. However, resolutions don't work for me because I never came around to fulfil them, so I won't even bother.
The only thing I want to say, in this brand new year, is "Thank God so very much." My dear sister came home from Thailand just a few days before the tsunami tragedy struck. I'm so glad she didn't opt to spend a few more days at the beach, or that the tsunami hadn't afflicted earlier. You have no idea how grateful I am.
Watching the news about the tragedy on the television made me realised how close I came to losing my dear sister. I wrote her a card that very night and told her how thankful I am that she is back home safely to spend Christmas with us.
So once again, thank you for bringing my sister back home and most of all, safely. Happy New Year.
