Loss of someone
Missing someone when the person is no longer in this world might be the worst feeling of them all. Because there is nothing you can do for the person. It just ends there. You can't show any care and concern, you can't see the person and you can't talk to the person anymore. I wouldn't want to get to know the feeling but I guess I have to inevitably. To those who have lossed, you are strong. Life goes on. Maybe you will learn to cherish more, maybe you will pay more attention to the life you are living. It's only the memories that keeps it alive. Being an emo person, I wonder if I can take this pain.

Marriage
I use to think life, is a fucking routine. You came to this world, you fucking grow up, get fucked up, find someone, get married, give birth, grow old and wait for death. It takes only 10 seconds to complete one's entire journey with that sentence. What I failed to see was the lines in between. I did fucking grow up and still is. I still get fucked up. I did find a few someones. I did not fucking get married. Because I am still fucked up. Marriage. Its fucking serious. You have to see it till the end. Eternity. Forever. Permanent. No matter how fucked up you are. Because its a fucking marriage. Because you have found someone you want to spend of your fucked up life with. That's the only thing that's not fucked up. The love that you have for each other, is not fucked up. The way you see each others life, no matter how fucked it is, your love covers all. Only love, is not fucked. The flip side of fucking up is a fucking divorce. It's not a fucking big deal and it's so fucking easy as 123. If there's a fucking phrase that says Live, like there's no tomorrow, then fucking get married like there's no divorce. This world is already fucked up enough. Maybe I should put it in a nicer term. Marriage is the most serious thing in my entire lifetime. It doesn't matter if I ever get married or not. Marriage is a celebration of the holiest and the purest love in communion. Some people searched for a lifetime to find the one. Count yourself lucky if you have found the one. Marriage is hard work. I've seen too many broken marriages. Stay blissfully married. Forever.

When everything else in the world doesn't matter.
Experience is yours and yours alone. No one can take it away from you.
I got pissed off recently. Speaking in good English doesn't make you an atas person. Speaking in broken English doesn't make her a dimwit. So, maybe I'm the one that's fucked up. Sorry, it should be who's and not that's.

Bellaluna vivocity
Bought a voucher from groupon on "$23 for 60 min Botanical Fusion Oil Full Body Massage with Back Scrub at Bella Luna (Worth $180)"
I was late. My apologies. The minute I stepped in, I felt that the place is quite quiet. The receptionist Iris attended to me. I am not a person who frequents massages but I do know how to differentiate a good massage parlor or a slipshod one. I had been to the Thai odyssey, massage hut and the latest one from Spa Elements at The Cathay.
She poured me a cup of warm (I expected green tea) water. She asked me to fill up the form, which is not as detailed as Spa Element. They did not ask whether which part of the back should they pay attention to or where my back is aching. When you go to the massage parlor, you are expected to be relaxed. I was asked about my tattoos. I felt that it's inappropriate. And she went on asking where's my workplace, how's the crowd, what are the favorite designs, why I chose this line, bla bla bla.. It's my off day and I'm talking abt work. That's a minus point.
Proceeding to the masseuse, she led me to the room to get ready my massage. I had the paper undies and shower cap on and on the bed getting ready. Then I heard the drilling works next door. Damned. As I came in, all the five rooms were empty except for one. Why was I on the very last room where it's closest to the renovation works? Another minus point.
The masseuse apologized on the renovation going on and went on starting massaging on my feet up. It was not too bad. When it came to my back, her sequence were off. It was suppose to be section by section. She rolled up my spine and started on the neck and shoulders. She went down to my lower back and then up my neck and shoulders again. I guessed she had used up all her mediocre skills and decided to use her hands to draw a big X on my back. This is the first time i encountered this stance. I also suspected she had corn on her finger as I felt it scratching on my back. Minus point.
So, it's time to turn to the front massage. Again she started on the feet which is good. Then she did the stomach. I always believe the massage should be one way, clockwise or anti clockwise. There should be a procedure to it. So she massaged my stomach, clockwise and then anti clockwise. ??? Another first. Then the chest. Nothing much.. Then came the head. As I was wearing the PLASTIC showercap, when she massage my head with the cap on, the rustling of the plastic was bloody annoying. She was at it for 10 mins. Maybe she was a shampoo girl previously. So I tot finally it was over, she went to my chest again, not kneading but putting pressure from her palms.
And off she went to take the scrub. So I tot it will be lying on my front again to get a good scrub, finally. Turns out I have to sit up. Again ??? She put the scrub on my back and began rubbing, for like 5 mins? I tot it's suppose to be 15mins? Fine. The masseuse then asked me to use the portable shower to clean myself up when she was done. So that's it. I cleaned myself and went out. Sorry, no tips for the masseuse because I dun think she did a good job, compared to Spa Elements. I did gave the masseuse a tip at Spa Elements.
So I was in the cubicle, waiting for Iris to tell me her packages, she asked me how was the massage, I said it was ok. No point telling her so much, the massage was over anyway. She then proceed to recommend me a promotion only for that day at $50 for an hour massage. I told her I wanted to try other parlors before deciding and she insisted me to get a five hour package first that would cost $250. Why would I want to get a $250 package when I dun even enjoy the massage and was hounded abt my job when I first step in? I will not even get it even if it's free. It's not how cheap it is cos I know even if I were to get a package, it will be with spa elements. Of cos, it will be way more expensive than Bellaluna. If the service is good, I enjoy my quiet time and a good massage, why not?
I told her no, I wouldn't want to commit myself at this time. She finally let it go and as we went out of the cubicle, she told me not to buy the voucher again as it is for one time trial only. How rude can she be? She thinks I can't read the terms and conditions? Or just because I did not buy the package from her? But then again, there won't be a next time for sure.
The massage experience from hell.
Verdict: 0.5 / 5
0.5 for the cup of ginger tea after the massage.

Being Gay = Being Happy!
I actually wanted to wait for a year later to write a post to commemorate the day but I guess I wouldn't bear to leave my blog in the cold. Facebook has been a big part of my life although I dun write much there, basically it's just time for gossiping and poking noses of what my so called friends are doing. I could be pretty anal abt some posts or even comments. Overall, life has been treating me quite well. I still didn't get the miu miu bag but I do feel happier abt my life. For one, I still love my job although there is no benefits whatsoever. I found a good traveling partner amidst of all other traveling partners I've been with. I'm also happier because I am lucky to have a way to channel my emotions out thru writing. I am quite amazed abt the things I wrote sometimes. All of the above has no monetary purposes involved being happy. As age is catching up, and I am not in denial, I believe in aging gracefully. Being happy should be one of the cures. It's simple and it's free.

Cravings
I do have a craving for durians. You gave me a bunch of grapes instead. Should I be beaming with happiness and be grateful or go get my own indulgence of my durian satisfaction? Expectaions can become disappointments when one can only try to get one for you. You waited when you know you can get it on you own. So when you decided to get it on your own, it defeats the whole purpose of anticipating a gift on the way. I am impatient, but I am not spoilt. I got it on my own because there's no point waiting, no point reminding and no point asking for it.

1cent worth
-humans should stop thinking how great they are. It's sickening-
Everyone wants to, not just think how great they are. Students wanting to get the highest grades, ah tiongs coming to Sgp, maybe not just ah tiongs, many other different countrymen come to Sgp, the filipinos, banglasdeshi, vietnamese, malaysians, thinking how great the country is. Singaporeans thinks they are greater by chasing and complaining abt how the foreigners polluting the country soil. So who is the greatest? The one whom I thought is the greatest is dead. The one who had nothing is the greatest. The one who sees everyone as equal is the greatest. She, who cared for the sick and wanted a life for everyone, not a lifestyle that everyone wants to live. Who, is able to do that? Who, would want to stop for a while and think why we humans are behaving like that? Why are we different and yet ostracize one another? Because they want to be greater than the other. They buy better cars, better houses, earn more money because they want to be greater than others. I myself, am in love with a miu miu bag now. Maybe when I get that, I will be greater than you because I have it. And I am just human, like everyone else. It's sickening. Those who want to be great and trying very hard to be one is more sickening.
That's my comment. If you see this, its too long to post on fb.
