New Look.

I spent a lot of time with B's family for the past 2 weeks helping out on his elder brother's wedding preparations. Unlike the English's & Korean's tradition, I think Malay's preps can be a bit too intriguing; too many things to handle all at once, too many hearts to be taken care of, too many thoughts to stomach. But the good thing about it was, everyone totally bonded, for the better or worse :)

Abang Danny has now started a new chapter in his life; one with a beautiful woman in it, one with complete mysteries and unwritten realities. Couldn't be there for him on his big day but I extend my warm wishes to him and his bride, may the journey ahead loosens up and be easy for them.

To the rest, Merry Christmas!

Steal?

One thing about my boy is, he never steals. By that, I mean he doesn't steal anything copyrighted even! Like, he doesn't download songs or tv shows illegally so he has a lot of CDs at home. He'd buy the whole album even though he only likes one song and then transfer the song to his iPod. All my life, I never knew someone like him. So when he justifies to anyone that one shouldn't steal, do listen. :p

Today, I jokingly asked him if he treasures his extensive CD collection more or me.


Him : Why, B? Suddenly wanna make me choose?
Me : If you can only keep one, between your CD collection and me, which do you keep?
Him : Maybe I'll save my CDs first.
Me : What?!
Him : You've to understand. The CDs and I have come a long way. Some have been there since I was 10! We've got a longer, deeper relationship. I'm sure you'll understand.


None other like him.

MH1 to Kuala Lumpur!

All packed for home? ;)

I can't wait to spend quality time with my paternal grandparents this weekend and fly to Seoul the next weekend. Missing both sides crazily. 

The rest, have a great weekend!

"B, good night. Go and sleep now."
"But it's only 1am"
"You've got enough bags. You don't need eye-bags tomorrow morning"


Where did he learn that?

Chloe Marcie Phyton.

I have been too coped up with uni and all sorts of things to keep myself updated with the latest handbags. Thanks to Lyx, I fell in love with this shoulder bag from Chloe - the latest Marcie bag in Phyton leather. She was among the first persons who managed to get her hands on this piece... ahh.. her luck!

Lyx is my beau's little sister whose handbags collections are extensive and mostly consist of exotic skins. I'd love to have her wardrobe anytime! :) 


I love the Bohemian feel in this piece. Apparently, even Ms. Alba loved it! 

What do you think?

Of Boyfriend, Passion & Work Prospects.

Two or three weeks back, I took the train to Amsterdam on a Saturday morning. An impromptu trip, it was. I think my beau's job is amazing. I loved being surrounded by loads of yachts and everything in similar and just sink in between all those pretty toys! Hehe. 

 
Ahh, temptations. I wonder how he resists from falling in love with every single item he sells & trades everyday. I witnessed how deeply in love he is with his job. Non-stop phone calls, endless running errands on behalf of his subordinates (yeap, it was vice versa), piles of files all over the places, payment slips... and his girl at one corner stressing him to wrap up at work. :p

I mean, I wouldn't have the heart to sell any of those toys (he always refers them as his toys) I saw. For girls, it's synonymous to asking us to sell handbags in designer items. Ahh.. the pain when every piece has to go off. ;)


"Can I have one, B?"
"What do you want?"
"A jet ski will do."
"I'll pass you over to the sales team. :p"
"I'm not asking for big things like yachts or ships you see."
"Oh well. Even one cent is business... for me. Sorry, B. Sit there and wait for me"


Mission failed. Business over love - anytime for him.

I wonder how I'll be like as I start working. Up till now, none of the two companies that I went up for interview contacted me back and I hope that isn't a bad omen. I'd love to start working next year, widen my experience and use up the knowledge that I've gained throughout my years in universities. Even more important than that, I look forward to feel how it's like to love my job!

Hoping everyone's still in one piece, have gotten over the Monday blues and live through this week with maximum productivity. 

God bless,
Freida.

Formspring.

Hello!

I disabled anonymity on my Formspring just yesterday but I hope that won't close the door that interconnect our lives. :) The main reason is to stop destructive comments that flowed in and it isn't because I cannot take it but more to stop some (or one) individuals wasting their time and try to bring down the people they don't even know.


There's something that I've been quite curious about; people of what group of age actually pay visits to my public blog? Sometimes, the questions/statements that came in were pretty childish for teens.

I've great understandings that Formspring is a place where questions come in and where a lot of people feed their curiosities but that doesn't/shouldn't include unnecessary statements and mean accusations.

There are more to life than being stuck in high school dramas. In case anyone's not well aware of, I'm graduating from university next July. Some things are meant to be left behind, no?

2010 is coming to an end sooner than we all expected it to be. Those many months just flashed by us and the next thing we know, December's going to knock our doors soon. I hope everyone shall be able to spend the rest of the year with loads of love, blessings and prosperity.

We don't need others to feel down for us to be happy.


God bless,
Freida.

The Essential Key.

In my sub-conscious mind, food actually makes me happy! It is only women when we worry about weight-gains but I think as long as we exercise to make up for the food we consumed, everything is all right. Lately, I found myself seeking for food at all times which is so not me! My beau too realized that everytime he calls, I'm always either cooking, finding for a place to eat or is eating. Hehe.

Some of the food & desserts I cooked/baked/bought this week.

I hope everyone else is in your best shape, eat healthy food, love and be loved. 

God bless,
Freida.

The Best Thing About Me is You.

It it amazing, what love can do to one self. It isn't even vivid, to begin with. We all can express love but no one ever know what really lies underneath. 


I find it easy to express love verbally to the people who matter but I am truly blessed for being able to be loved all day long, to be remembered, to be cherished, to be appreciated. We all, if tired of waiting for the one to come, should hunt for a partner. 


From my point of view, there is no such thing as waiting for the right one to find his/her way to you. We should make our first step, the initial move for us to feel what it's like to sink under the sea of affection and passion, total love and care. I see no harm in making the first step. 


My boy is a magical creature who can change me in a blink of an eye. I thought we all should be ourselves and not change for whoever but I've come to realize that if changes can make both parties happy... why not? It shouldn't matter what made us change or who enforced the changes. What matters the most is the after results - mutual happiness and understandings. 


Knowing him, I understand the value of money better, I appreciate the bonds between families deeper and I escalated my tolerance level for the ones I truly care for. 


And, you can know how in love you are with your partner when you want the whole world to open their hearts and fall in love together. :)


God bless,
Freida.

Haiti.

Hello!

I have been trying to cram everything to get things done appropriately within a certain time these days. Through my beau, I learnt what being disciplined really mean. He gets things done without procrastinating, within the shortest time yet can still manage to show the best in his results. I must be so in love that I look up to him every single time. :)

From the bottom of my heart, I am delighted for being able to spend my youth this way. I do not want to put aside the entertainments but I too, don't wish to forget about the world just to keep myself entertained.

I don't usually do travel entries because it's something that I keep opened only to my closed ones but, I reckon a post on Haiti can be an eye-opener to everyone out there. I managed to fly to Haiti sometime in Summer to witness the damages that occurred to them besides doing my part to help fellow beings.

I'm sure everyone knows what hit Haiti early this year but after half-a-year, the damages to Haiti were still so vivid due to lack of monetary help for them to build back their town. I was disheartened to witness first hand how everyone was still struggling to keep on living and just... survive. However, I was glad to see many smiling faces - not happy, but they knew nothing could be done and life must go on.

I wish them speedy recovery spiritually, stronger mental endurance and keep bonding through love.

Us, on the other hand, should always feel grateful for what's been bestowed to us by God, for being able to lead a safe life and being able to live in a more comfortable environment. It is saddening to see a lot of fellow beings who are lack thankfulness, question the mighty of God's actions and cannot foresee how God loves us too much to put us among the rest who learnt it through the hard ways.

Meanwhile, do play your part as good samaritans in various ways possible if it's within your abilities. I am blessed for successfully made their days, helped in monetary donations to build their new homes and provide clean clothes and continuous supply of food. 

Visit your local independent NGOs to keep on contributing. More or less, your love to them is felt.

God bless,

Freida.

Hearts & Souls.

I'm definitely a cheesy person at heart and I always choose to care more about love than hate. It disheartens me whenever I see and read about people whose lives are full with hatred, anger and disgrace. Why?

I finished my Isya' prayers with my boyfriend - already like someone who leads my life the right way. And in my prayers, I included him; for his safety, for his success, for his entire well-being. Whenever I lay my eyes onto him, it invites an unexplainable sort of serenity and calmness in my heart. I am contented.

This life we all live in is not long enough for us to fill it up with lust and impatience. These past few months, I have come to realize that we are not everything without our significant other. The one who is able to play one of the greatest roles in our lives.

He lives on in my prayers. Wherever he is, whenever, this love for him shall be here, perfectly nailed in my heart and soul. 

Even when we're often continents apart, one busy with work and another with studies, I wish for the longevity in this relationship we both have. Though, yes, we cannot predict what may happen in the future, all that we both have in our minds is to pray for the best but be ready for the worst.

Here's to lots of love in this world.

I pray for everyone to be able to find and be with their other halves. Divide all the sorrows, double up all our happiness.

God bless,

Freida.
