I found Godma on Facebook and I almost clicked on add as friend when I realised that I’m Sesame and it wasn’t such a good idea to do that. 

Actually, Godma is one of the few who knows my online persona so I really should not be too concerned.  The problem is, I did not want people we might know in common within her friend list to spot me.  Or worst, someone looking out for me to find me through her list!  Of course there is a way to get around that and that is to remove all my pictures from Facebook.  But, what the heck for?  Anyway, my Facebook is mainly for online friends. 

I know I’m sounding paranoid and probably I am.  But being paranoid doesn’t quite stop me from wanting to put up pictures of myself though.  This is my Paris Hilton pimp.  Fun features from Photobucket. 

Do you see me?  No, you don’t.

I think my system has been devoid of beer for too long, it has forgotten how to process the beverage properly. 

Instead of letting it settle nicely downwards, it just let the alcoholic content shoot straight up causing my head to swirl.

And to think that it was only 1.3 litre plus it was light!  What a shame!  

The worst part was, being told I was blushing.  I don’t remember having ever been red in the face from drinking before.  So now I’m wondering: was it the drink or did I feel embarrassed?

The car battery has gone flat and I am so glad I wasn’t driving it when it happened.  Because I wouldn’t know what to do!  I guess my brain is just not wired for car maintenance and even a simple task like filling it with petrol can make me all uncomfortable.  In fact, whenever I have cold wars with my husband, the first thing that comes to my mind is, WHO’S GOING TO HELP ME FILL THE CAR WITH PETROL?

It’s ridiculous I know.  I have come to rely on him when it comes to matters concerning the car that I feel helpless on my own.  There’s an emotional barrier between me and the car.  And that emotional barrier is my husband!  I NEED him to maintain the car.  In fact, I’ve grown comfortable RELYING on him and when I know I can’t do it, it gets me all upset. 

I remember someone once compared her need for her husband to a glass of plain water.  She doesn’t feel excited about him like she used to, but like water, she needs him to be around.  It sounds a little sad, but at the same time, it strucked me that relationships thrive on NEEDS when the passion is gone.  And this is likely one of the reasons why some people hang on to their partners even when love is gone as well.

So if you’re in a relationship, you better darn well make sure you’re NEEDED in some ways, no matter how small.  But hopefully, the reason you’re needed or what you need is based mostly on the intangibles because we know how easily tangibles can be replaced.  And if you say you rather be independent, I say good for you.  Because you most probably don’t need a relationship then!

For me, I’m thankful we both still need each other, intangibles and tangibles!

The boy has been busy reading and talking about all sorts of natural calamities but what he didn’t realise was that his auntie’s family in Philippines was badly affected by typhoon Fengshen.  Luckily, her family members are all safe as they managed to evacuate in time.  One of her friends wasn’t so lucky cos her father was buried alive by the landslide.  So even though yesterday was meant to be a birthday celebration, they were all choked full with sadness. 

When he grows old enough to understand, I hope he’ll realise that he’s lucky in a way.  That even though he resides in a small little island, he is kept fairly safe from such disasters that are rocking the other parts of the world. 

The optician told me that I have two options to ”make it” for my long-sightedness.  One is getting a special type of contact lenses and the other is to prescribe a pair of long sighted glasses.  Both options didn’t sound very ideal to me since the first will incur more expenses in the long run and the second, a lot of inconvenience.  But it was really getting tougher to read those tiny prints despite squinting my eyes real hard.  So yesterday, I hit Popular Bookstore, thinking of getting a pair of magnifying glasses but instead found this!

It’s a magnifying sheet the size of a credit card which I can fit into my wallet and bring it along everywhere!  And it was only a dollar! 

(^O^)

Now I won’t have to worry about missing that dubious ingredient anymore…
