Let love leads the way....

Many many months ago......

It was just a couple of weeks after I was being betrayed by a trusted doofus man of 12 years, Adrian messaged me via msn chat very late one stormy night. Our conversation usually starts with a simple "Hello" and "How was your day" but well, that particular night, he broke down with a tearful cry. He told me that he was betrayed by his wife-to-be and he was confused, hurt and torn apart. That very moment, I just couldn't control my tears. I could almost feel the deep cut in his heart as mine was not even healed back then. I remember chatting with him till wee hours in the morning, he was telling me how his dreams were badly shattered by the unfaithful someone.

I remembered we were encouraging each other to move on and never to look back. After all, we should be thankful our betraying partners revealed themselves to us now. These people do not deserve a place in our hearts. Soon after, we were so busy with our daily work and routine, we hardly talk to each other anymore. I continue hating man and throwing virtual axes at every man who even dare to sweet talk me muahahaha and Adrian was drowning himself with his work and all his oversea business trips!


Many Many Months later.........

Adrian messaged me again today and guess what? He found his "sunshine" wor! I tell you, I heard plenty of similar stories out there, people who were being betrayed like us. Some became 'virtual nuns and monks' [well, ask X-T, I almost became one myself!], some turned into cheap bi-tch and start seducing man at their workplace, some jump off buildings, some drink pesticides but we thank God we were strong enough to walk out of our past hurts and became stronger.

Today, Adrian is so happy that he'd found his special someone. Someone so different, someone so sweet and understanding, someone every man would like to bring her back to meet the parents. Aiyor, the way he described her... I think she sounds more like an angel to me...truly, she looks like one too!

We've learned to let go, move on, open up ourselves and begin to allow our hearts to lead the way, miracles do happen!


It's all about the timing. Nothing is coincidental. Things happen for a reason.

Oui Adrian, our partners were truly God sent and we found someone better didn't we? ;) hehehe

Adrian & Nickie


I wish both of you the very best in all your future plans together
&
May your days filled with love as sweet as candy! hehe


Cheers,
X-T & L'abeille

Epilogue to "Our Story"

X-T says.....
Mention "fishing" to her and the first thing that comes to her mind would be me using the Internet.

Why? Well, I got to know her through the Internet, and I was saying "Hi!" to so many gals out there that the term "fishing" seems very appropriate. That term is in our dictionary now. Whenever I wish to proclaim my innocence, I only have to say "I'm not going fishing anymore".

As told by L'abeille, our tale is full of wonderful coincidences. The things that happened and the odds of it happening still amazes me. Luckily, I'm not an expert in actuarial science as I suspect the things that happened and the odds of it happening would frighten many probability experts.

Our relationship passed the one year milestone. To me, the year passed by way too quickly. Truly, the motion of time hasten when a person is in a blissful state.

I consider myself blessed to have found her. She is so full of patience, love, wisdom, rationality and compassion that it spills over to me. She completes me.

Happy anniversary to you too, dear...

Our Story

L'abeille says.....

Only a handful of people know how X-T and I actually met. I’d promised to share our story today as we celebrate our first year together.

It was back in early May 2006, while I was recovering from a really bad heartbreak. My friends used to call me late in the evening to join them for late night drinks and to hang out with the single guys for supper. Since I’m quite a homely lady, I turn down most of their offer and would rather stay at home and just be alone. A close friend of mine even invited me to attend some match making sessions and I thought those are just pure nonsense. I told her, “Men!…they come in all shapes and sizes but deep inside them, they’re all the same....all filled with empty sweet promises.” So, at that point, I would rather be alone.

In actual fact, I am not a loner and I am quite chatty. I reactivate my ICQ chat program (I-seek-you) so that I can hang out with some online friends to pass my time away in the evenings. After 9 years of not logging into my ICQ account, most of my college year's ICQ buddies were no longer an active ICQ user now. Of course I met quite a few new chat buddies but I was a little skeptical that these people are real! I was even doubtful if the girls there a well....really girls! Ask Pinky's Enscribar!

I went out with groupies and sometimes dinner dates and movie sessions with a few single-no-girlfriend guys but well, as I mentioned earlier…the minute I sensed they’re trying to get closer to me, I ran and even stop picking up their calls! I don’t know what was wrong with me but I was just too scared to even think of having another man in my life. Soon, I stopped going out with anybody and only with the girls. Su, Ja and Jo was the three I hang out with soon after. I believe my mom must be worried sick I’m turning into a nun ;)

One evening, since I've no other plans…I log in to ICQ again just to chat with dear Pinky. Suddenly, X-T popped out from nowhere and said ‘Hi’. [Later, I was told by him that he was actually doing an ICQ search and he RANDOMLY found me!].

I can’t remember the exact sentences we exchange but somehow, I felt that there’s so much to share with this new stranger. Soon, we added each other in our buddy list.

We remain as Internet buddies until one day he called me out to watch a movie. I delayed his invitation for a week just to think over it and seek my parent’s consent ;p. I was wondering what if he’s a rapist? A drug pusher? Or maybe a serial killer? Who knows right?!

Surprisingly, my parents were supportive over my decision to meet up with X-T.

I took the courage to meet up with X-T. I went out with him just for a movie and coffee. X-T went out with me out of curiosity and I’m going out with him because of the Superman movie!. Now this is really silly. We even show each other our IDENTITY CARDS and DRIVING LICENSES just to be sure that we are who we claimed we are. I even asked for his business card just to be doubly sure!

We enjoyed our outings very much as X-T had so much to share but deep inside my heart, I can’t really trust him fully because after all, he’s just someone I got to know over the Internet.

One day, as Ja and I was on a girl’s night out at the mall. She asked me how’s life. I told her all about X-T, how we met and how caring he was to me. I remembered sharing to her how nice our outings were but still I can’t fully trust an Internet stranger. She patiently listens and by the way I described X-T, she thought of someone similar. She asked me about X-T’s family, their names and asked if his mother bakes the best pineapple cookies. She reconfirms the car X-T’s driving and his home address. Both of us we shocked to discover that X-T was actually her high school friend’s brother. In fact, I’ve heard about X-T way before we even met over the Internet through Ja and in the other hand, X-T knew about my existence and my past through his sister. Such a small… small world huh??

Being the playful me, I thought of keeping the secret from X-T for a few days but my friend Ja got a little too excited and spilled the beans. She told X-T’s sister and soon the family knows…including X-T! Well, lo and behold after that discovery, our level of trust has gained to another level. We actually knew each other way before we even met online. I felt comfortable hanging out and talking endlessly with him. I assumed we were just buddies, enjoying each other’s company. Dang, I was just too naive, he was actually courting me!

The night before I left for England for a short trip in September 2006, he drove to my house to say goodbye and somehow I felt that he acted weird that night. Thought it was just a short trip away from him, I was surprised to find out that I actually miss him a ‘little’. He stood at my door for quite a while, looking into my eyes as I stared at him. He gathered his courage and told me that he actually had feelings for me. I stood in front of him speechless with nothing much to say. I told him I need some time away just to check if I’m ready to be with him. I don’t want him to be my space filler just because I’m lonely.

Words cannot describe how I feel the moment I saw his face at the arrival hall the day I return from England. I guess it wasn't until he wasn't by my side, I realized that I was falling for him.

From that day onwards, X-T never failed to reassure, to love and to comfort me. It’s never easy to love me, a woman whom once betrayed so badly. I’ve learned to let go of my past. I believe all things works together for good because he has been such a blessing. If my past did not happen in such a way, I wouldn’t have found someone like him. A man who shows love by his actions rather than just talking nonsense. It was truly a blessing in disguise! *smiles*

It has been a year
You’ve been such a wonderful dear
Time flies and we now celebrate one loving year together

It was just like yesterday
You held my hands so tight..
As you’re about to leave my doorway
On a warm September night

You gathered your courage to say you love me
I told you I felt the same way too
But…I was unsure if we should really start
Because of what happened to me in the past

Initially, it was hard for me to trust, to share and love all over again
Due to the deep wound I had in my heart
You’ve never failed to comfort again and again…
For you, I believe it must have been tough!

Soon, I begin to love you more and more
Not because of your words but by your actions
Everything seems to fall into place
As how Higgins said “I’ve became accustomed to your face”

Our Life Journey has just begun
Now with joy we celebrate one year of so many more to come
You can be sure, I’ll be faithful to your prayers
You'll have me in your heart, as I have you.

Happy Anniversary, Dearie

What would you do for love?

If there is a reason for me to give up something or my time or doing something for my beloved would label as a sacrifice, then there's a good enough reason to justify it, otherwise I wouldn't be necessary--It wouldn't be an option.

Have you ever done things for the one you love that can even be considered completely unreasonable under normal circumstance?

Because love is about all about giving, about selflessness, ever forgiving and all about truly caring for another as if he or she were yourself. It's not sacrifice, it's just love. It is an act coming from the deepest self. True?

Someone wrote this.....

"Our love for one another is imperfect, because we by our nature are imperfect. That being said there are transcendental moments when people can obtain for the slightest moment a glimmer of what pure love is.
I say a glimmer because only God is perfect and able to sustain such love, all we can hope for is the opportunity to experience it in a manner that does not result in our death." - Thanks bro!

So, what would I do for someone I love? As much as I can....

Let's add one more candle to your cake...

X-trail's birthday is coming. Oh boy, I love celebrating birthdays...erm...I mean not my own because the numbers doesn't add on to my age hah!

1)Romantic or Boring?
BORING (ACCORDING TO SOME QUARTERS)
2)Lobster or Bird....?
LOBSTER (AS I'VE NOT HAD IT B4)
3)Pond or Land?
POND
4)Daytime or Night?

5)You love me more than yesterday or less than tomorrow?
LOVE YOU MORE THAN YESTERDAY (MOST DEFINITELY - MORE AND MORE EACH DAY)

******************************

So darling...here's some clues on what to expect on your special day:-

1) Boring- Nah...this question has got nothing to do with you :)) Anyway, your wish is my command.

2) Lobster - Err..dried shrimps are prawns too..and you love them deep fried right? right? No?!?

3) POND- Pond? WHY POND? Why not land?
*tears rolling down my cheek* wipe wipe *roll some more*

4) Night- Good! Now I've more time to sharpen my teeth and claws during the day..buahaha

5) "Doctor, can I postpone my sugar level checkup until next year? I'm on sugar high right now!"

Happy Mother's Day

Mum..
When I was a little girl,
You've set rules and I thought it was cruel,
I knew that I still need to obey
As I was afraid to hurt your heart ...

As a grown up lady myself today...
I can still recall the daily little conversation you had with me since a child....
Be modest in my daily actions, humble, respect, to love unconditionally and to be strong
...........your words of wisdom has lead me well in handling my life's hurdles which I never imagined I'll go through later in life

Mum...
I want you to know that you're appreciated
Not just today but EVERYDAY....

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

With love,
Sher
