First Love…never let it go

I was requested to write a testimonial about the lady that I worked with; the online company. Now with the new management, I am no longer needed in the company. I am so sad and stress out due to that.

Anyway, she wants my testimonial for 2 reasons; one is to be put up on their bulletin board and another for her to use to apply for a new job. She is not Dan Neumeister who has a long list of achievements so I need to write a very impressive testimonial for her. That gave me some pressure and I sit on it for a few days; thinking and dreaming on what to write!

Finally I sat down and started writing. This is what I wrote:

I praised God that He has given me the opportunity to know and work with this beautiful lady by the name of Kristen R. Never have I come across a person that is so dedicated to her work and very hardworking. If a Japanese employee were to do what Kristen did, that is comprehendable but for an American, this is a Wow! to me. Not only that, she is very efficient too. She is also very down to earth, friendly and you can’t help not to like her. I really regretted that I am not able to work with her anymore but never regret knowing her.

So what do you think? Is that good enough?

We had lunch with Aunty Grace at Hot & Spicy Restaurant just now. Last week, we were supposed to bring Uncle George and Aunty Grace for lunch but Aunty Grace couldn’t make it because she had knee pain. So we went out with Uncle George only and made another appointment for lunch with both of them today. Unfortunately, Uncle George is not on top of his health today and we ended up going out with Aunty Grace alone. She is the one who gave us the crib bedding after I got my first child.

We had a good time of fellowship with Aunty Grace. We are planning for another lunch or dinner appointment with both of them one day. Love chatting with them.

In my life to date, I do not have many friends. Partly because I do not like to join cliques because I was rejected from a clique when I was only in Primary Two because I am not pretty and tall enough. Furthermore, cliques are too girly for a tomboy me. I made good friends with 2 shorty boys who are very much taller than me now. What happened to the tall and pretty girl cliques? They are still prettier than me and I am way taller than them now. hehe. I am a late bloomer.

This goes on until now. I only make few good friends throughout my schooling life. Unfortunately, I did not keep the contact of those good friends that I’ve made. That is my only regret. The only way is hoping that they would join community like 3gb. I hope to stumble upon them one day. That means that I need to join every community there is in the internet because I wouldn’t know which community they will be in. Hard work man!

If not, I would just enjoy the mp3 music that if available in that community or I could even make good friends along the way. I could even promote my blog and bring more traffic to this blog of mine.

I forgot to mention that when we went to visit Uncle George and Aunty Grace, we only bring a small container of Kaya and before we left, Aunty Grace gave us a bottle of Ribena, a can each of Curry Lamb and Curry Chicken. It was so embarrassing. They are pensioner and we are working people, make us look so stingy eh.

Actually visiting them was a last minute discussion so we are not prepared with any gift for them. I just scoop op my homemade Kaya as our gift. I think we should keep some wine gifts in case of last minute home visitation again.

Thursday, our night but tonight we don’t feel like going dating. Instead we went to visit Uncle George and Aunty Grace; the parent of our missionary family who is now serving in Cameron Highland. Hmmm…now we good reason to go to Cameron Highland but our car does not permits us yet.

Uncle George loves to talk, sharing his experience and knowledge, a man full of wisdom. We enjoyed listening to him.

Sad to know that the church has stopped supporting their daughter and family.

Sad to know that the church is decreasing instead of increasing in the number of members. People are leaving. We left. *sigh*

Glad to know that Uncle George and Aunty Grace is as healthy as they can be. God is really good to them.

I love his plants. He really have green fingers.

He got nice bar faucets too in the kitchen.

Uncle George!!! What is I.V.E??? Maybe this is a trick to get us to come back to visit him soon.

Online dating is not something foreign anymore. One of my good friend is happily married to the girl he met online. One of the mommy blogger I know also met his Canadian life partner online. She is happily married to him and they have one beautiful daughter. When blog hopping I found out that a few blogger mommies met their spouse online. I made a few good friends online too. One of them is a guy from Kuwait. We have been communicating for 5 years already!

These days, love knows no boundaries. I am talking about the geographical boundaries, not moral boundaries. With internet access, communication knows no boundaries. I am not surprise if one of my children meets their life partner online. But they must be a firm believer in Christ, a missionary or a pastor much better. Hehe.

As parent we must first educated our children about dating online. I found a good website that offer online dating tips, the general DOs and DON’Ts of online relationships, to using the various dating services available online. They also recommended a few good Online Dating Sites. If you have any question or need dating tips apart from whatever that has be given, you can always contact them about it. You can find out more about it at OnlineDatingTips.org.

Last month of my buddies asked what Outer Banks is. I didn’t know how to explain to her. Since that is the text for the bayar post that she is preparing, I helped by forming a sentence using that text. I think it goes something like this. “As I was standing on the outer banks, I saw 2 beautiful swans swimming along the river.”

Today, I received the same assignment and the text has nothing to do with river banks! It is the name of a place! So embarrassing!!! I, so call her English tutor taught her the wrong thing! Malu Malu

Love is when someone appreciates you despite all your weaknesses.

Dolphins are blue, so true blue, calm in the storm, they never sleep, so ever-present, they’re friendly, so amicable, accountable, dependable, and protective. This award is presented for bloggers who always stand by you!

Wow! Jess, you sure I deserve the above or you just need it as interim.

When I read the above description, these are the names that appeared in my mind. Jess, Michelle and Chooi Peng. They really stood by me every since I got to know them. Friends like them are hard to come by. Even if you offer me a month stay at Colorado bed and breakfast, I won’t exchange it with their friendship.

Online Dating is so common nowadays but we have to be very careful when meeting strangers. Not all of them are serious to getting into serious relationship. Many “predators” out there are waiting to “devour” innocent women.

I found some good tips on online dating that I would like to share especially when it comes to “Let’s Meet” part. Below are a few precautions that you should take when planning for the meet, especially for the ladies.

• Firstly, be sure your family members, if not, close friend know about your meeting place, what time you are meeting, and the time you will be leaving.
• Must inform them you adjourn to another meeting location.
• Meet in public location where there are other people around.
• Never have the person pick you up in his or her car so that you can leave if things do not work out.
• If you meet in other city or state, book your own hotel and do not share information with the person you going to meet.
• Don’t bring them back to your house.

The above are just a few tips that I summarized from OnlineDatingTips.org. Do visit the website to learn more about online dating.

As a Christian, finding a life partner of the same faith is very important. Not only same faith but must also be of the same level of maturity. God clearly mentioned in His Word that Christian should not be unequally yoke.

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14

I myself experienced being unequally yoke with unbeliever. I did not marry him but I dated him for almost 4 years and boy! how I suffered in that relationship. But then living in countries where Christian is the minority, it is not easy to find mature Christian as life partner.

Thank God that is not much of a problem anymore because there are Christian dating website where we can meet lots of Christian from around the world. Just take a look at this Free Dating Site for Christian. So many to choose from and don’t worry about long distance relationship, there is tips for long distance relationship too.

This free dating site not only for those looking for love but also for making new friends, an activity partner, a travel partner, casual acquaintances, or a pen pal. I am going to sign up and see whether I can meet nice Christian from Europe. Maybe I can get free accommodation when I travel to Europe.

To those who have exes, will you or do you invite him/her/them to your wedding? If you were to receive wedding invitation from him/her/them, will you go?

To me, it depends on how the relationship ended. If it is based on mutual agreement. You agree and I agree that we are not made for each other for life.  I would be happy to attend his wedding to know that he finally found the true love of his life.

I broke off with my first love based on mutual agreement too. He was unable give me the quality time that I want in a relationship due to his studies. So we agreed to take a break and go our own way even though we still love each other. In order not to be selfish, we agreed but reluctantly.

I did attend my ex-boyfriend wedding. Not as a quest or his ex but I went there to be his bride. *beaming*

In the office I was not able to connect on MSN because the Streamyx line was extremely slow today. Furthermore, big boss is around. So I was unable to chat with the ladies. I was so desperate to chat with this lady especially. So what I did was, call her cell phone and chat with her for 5 minutes. I felt so happy after being able to have a conversation with. This is what you call LOVE? But I am straight, ok!

For months we have been chatting on MSN almost everyday except Sunday and it has become part of my routine. One day cannot chat, miss it (the conversation) so much. I think I am addicted to chatting with the siao lady. Hehe.
