Am I overstressed?

Am I lacking sleep?

Am I troubled?

I don't know what is happening to me...

It seems like I'm transforming...

Just what is happening to me?

Caught the movie, Valkyrie over the weekend. I have always been a war movie fanatic ever since I was young. I don't know why, but it somehow got me really hyped up watching such shows. I can actually imagine me, myself in the scene!! Haha. Maybe I'm just daydreaming too much. =P

The controversial movie stars Tom Cruise as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg and is based around a plot to assassinate Hitler. I would say he really did a great job again to pull off another great movie, ever since the Last Samurai, which is another war movie he acted in and him, as the leading actor.

One particular scene which I could hardly forget in the show would be the part on how his lieutenant, who is also his "runner", sacrificing himself to die before Tom Cruise, when they were both caught after the plot had failed. Such a loyal soldier. Such a loyal servant. It makes me wonder if there would be one in this present world. Would a soldier really sacrifice himself for his commander? It was really a sad ending to the show, which left the girl shedding some tears too...
One who have studied history would have known how Hitler died in the end. Nevertheless, it did not strike me that it was such a sad ending to it...

Received this interesting email from a friend. What status are you then?

To My Friends Who Are...........SINGLE
Love is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you. But

if you just let it fly, it will come to you when you least expect it. Love can
make you happy but often it hurts, but love's only special when you give it

to someone who is really worth it. So take your time and choose the best.

To My Friends Who Are............NOT SO SINGLE
Love isn't about becoming somebody else's 'perfect person.' It's about
finding someone who helps you become the best person you can be.

To My Friends Who Are............PLAYBOY/GIRL TYPE
Never say 'I love you' if you don't care. Never talk about feelings if they

aren't there. Never touch a life if you mean to break a heart. Never look
in the eye when all you do is lie. The cruelest thing a guy can do to a girl is
to let her fall in love when he doesn't intend to catch her fall and it works
both ways...

To My Friends Who Are............MARRIED
Love is not about 'it's your fault', but 'I'm sorry.' Not 'where are you',
but 'I'm right here.' Not 'how could you', but 'I understand.' Not 'I
wish you were', but 'I'm thankful you are.'

To My Friends Who Are............ENGAGED
The true measure of compatibility is not the years spent together but how
good you are for each other.

To My Friends Who Are............HEARTBROKEN
Heartbreaks last as long as you want and cut as deep as you allow them to
go. The challenge is not how to survive heartbreaks but to learn from them.

To My Friends Who Are............NAIVE
How to be in love: Fall but don't stumble, be consistent but not too
persistent, share and never be unfair, understand and try not to demand,
and get hurt but never keep the pain.

To My Friends Who Are............POSSESSIVE
It breaks your heart to see the one you love happy with someone else but
it's more painful to know that the one you love is unhappy with you.

To My Friends Who Are............AFRAID TO CONFESS
Love hurts when you break up with someone. It hurts even more when
someone breaks up with you. But love hurts the most when the person you
love has no idea how you feel.

To My Friends Who Are............STILL HOLDING ON
A sad thing about life is when you meet someone and fall in love, only to
find out in the end that it was never meant to be and that you have wasted years on someone who wasn't worth it.


Love can never be forceful,
It should be mutual

Involuntary love can only result in pain and hardship

Love should only develop,
and not be stagnant

As times goes by, the degree of love for each other should grow

Love should be sweet,
and not be painful

Only happiness can result in lasting relations

So, what is considered TRUE Love?

This year's Valentine's Day saw me chilling out under the sun, with the girl at Bintan Resort. It's been quite some time since I last went to a beach with her. The sounds of the waves and the peacefulness around the resort was really relaxing. One could just choose to have a short weekend getaway to just relax and chill out, apart from our daily hectic work schedule.

We have always wanted to have a tan, so a beach getaway was the perfect gift for us over the weekend. =)

I'm a survivor!!

It was an impromptu and last minute decision for us to go down to the River Hongbao for a stroll. Somehow, it became a yearly affair for both of us to go down to the River Hongbao Festival. From friends to a couple, we went down for two years consecutively. =)

The location for the exhibits this year was different, as we made our way to the Marina Floating Platform. The girl was pretty excited as it was her first time stepping into the area of the platform. =)

Us, posing with our zodiac characters!

Another couple shot

Although it was a short walk, we did enjoyed snapping away... And we'll be back next year!! =D
