I have let go of flyboy………

She

Towards the end she couldn’t talk. On the last day she couldn’t move.

My grandma passed away at 1153am today, Changi Hospital.

We’ve been blessed with a strong willed woman for 89 years. And we rejoice that her life has been largely smooth.

I held her hand, and she squeezed my hand hard twice. No words were exchanged, but the simple blessing from a granny to her grand child was felt.

The wake is at Blk 560, Ang Mo Kio Ave 10 til Sat March 14th.

What should shoezgal do :(

I like him, he likes me.

but he’s unsure about what he wants. or he wants my company but not the responsibility of having a gf

I think he’s a good guy in the long run…..but in the meantime, it’s just soooooo tough

Thought of F it and walk away…..but it’s so tough too……….

God, where is my Adam?

Moving on, moving out

On Friday noon, I get my keys to my new residence of the next 1 year…of course you guys are welcome.

The Montana on River Valley….I’m living my dream of living on my own.

Most of all, I’m doing this all by myself. I went from a HDB girl/neighbourhood school girl, to VJC, to NUS, to Stanford, to being an investment banker….to getting my own convertible, my own condo…and now moving out to my own place. At age 27.

Of course, instead of being happily married, I’m still single and taking care of myself…by myself. It’s give and take I guess

It’s over

Me and flyboy

Dun ask me why.

We are still friends (he wants to), but I am disappointed in him.

The worst thing a guy can do to a girl, is to let her fall…without any intention of catching the fall.

But God will bring peace.

Busy Busy

had been so busy at work, I’m exhausted. Else i’m playing poker with various groups of pple, including the Hong Leong family (I won!!)

Also won this from UOB….the one on the right, but in chocolate brown. Supposedly worth $1380 but looks like a cheap turtle shell to me. hehe

So what did you do on v-day? G and I had lunch at botanical gardens before I took a nap @ Island Creamery. This is followed by poker, then foot massage with AHO + some singles party where I bid for my own BF at an auction.

It’s quite taxing on both physical and mental self when u’re in these crap markets everyday. Sigh.

Bonus came and went. Nothing much to say about that except I have to work in this corp for another 2 years to get all my bonus.

Sux.

G is going way in sep….pretty soon huh

Some quotes I love….

“I’m looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love.”

“Some people are settling down, some people are settling
and some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies”

:)

cheongsher is now an Assistant Vice President

Tired

Did so much wayang, came up with so many trade ideas and trade views today…I’m tired. I also brokered a trade between 2 of the biggest hedge funds out there, and did a couple of ok trades along the way.

I’m tired. I need to get paid.

Coastarina which I’ve been eyeing was taken up, damn it. Pple still have $ to rent meh?

Posted something just now, I think it’s very true. It’s a bit cliche, and mushy to some….But I really think work needs to be put into relationships. I shall trust in the Lord.

Had dinner with D, M and J ydy before doing some pool where I managed to win (really, I’m super bad but tyco la). Was quite fun, we should hang out more

Meeting bel later today for a quick coffee and G tmr

I like this

I am guilty of some of that myself, but I still see the good in G. And I think Christ will provide – as per the last point

1. Show each other how much you care about each other, and make it obvious: Guys cannot take a hint, but guys have to be direct with girls so that there are no misunderstandings.
2. Communication (this one is vital): This is vital for healthy relationships. If there is a misunderstanding or miscommunication, handle the situation with care because it can easily turn into a huge fight.
3. Let your yes be yes: When you say you’re going to do something together stick to it (unless there is a terrible situation that is occurring). Do not make plans and then disappoint your significant other, it’s a recipe for fights.
4. Give each other space: If the significant other wants to be alone let them, if you try to approach they may actually try to pull away (unless it is obvious that they need to talk to someone).
5. Treat each other with respect- this means that guys appreciate the girl for who she is and not what she looks like, and girls don’t gossip about every little thing the guy does wrong. This also means that you should not try to embarrass your significant other in front of other people.
6. Be affectionate: I do not mean go all out. I mean give hugs and simple means of affection. Emotional support is a huge help, and it help with communication as well. Give compliments often.
7. Help each other: For example, if your significant other had a long day at work and you had plenty of free time you could cook them dinner.
8. Be there for each other (mainly talking to men): This sort of runs hand-in-hand with “let your yes be yes,” but this time I mean that if your significant other has numerous events they are in (like a piano recitals or fashion shows) it means a lot to them if you come to the event, but it mean even more if you come to all the events (if there are multiple ones).
9. As time goes on, gifts build up: When you first start dating it is nice to give a little gift now and then. Give a little something for Christmas and their birthday. But the more time you are together the nicer the gifts become. Both of you may have to establish when to give gifts (which helps with communication). The male should give the nicer gift, once again, to show how much he appreciates the female.
10. Grow together: This is by far the biggest point. Each couple should grow together spiritually. What keeps a marriage intact is when two people grow in Christ together, this is because they learn to forgive each other and they don’t keep track of the wrong doings of the other.
