Better in Time - Leona Lewis
Better in Time by Leona Lewis

It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through

Going
Coming
Thought I heard a knock(Whose there, No one?)
Thinking that (I deserve it)
Now I realized
That I really didn't know.

If you didn't notice
You mean everything (quickly I'm learning)
To love again (all I know is)
I'm gonna be OK.

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt but it heals too
Oh yeah (It'll All get better in time)
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve too
Oooh(It'll all get better in time)

I could of turned on the TV
Without something that would remind me
Was it all that easy?
To just put us out your feeling

If I’m dreaming
Don't wanna to let it (hurt my feelings)
But that's the past (I believe it)

And I know that, time will heal it

If you didn't notice
Well you mean everything (quickly I’m learning)
Oooh turn up again (All I know is)
I'm gonna be ok

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt but it heals too
Oooh yeah (It'll all get better in time)
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve too oooooh(It'll all get better in time)

Since there's no more you and me (No more you and me)
This time I let you go so I can be free
And Live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is
I'll be fine without you
Yes I Will

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt but it heals too
Oooh(It'll all get better in time)
Even though I really loved you
I'm gonna smile cos I deserve too yes I do(It'll all get better in time)

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt but it heals too
yeah Ooooh oooooh (It'll all get better in time)
Even though I really loved you
Going to smile cos I deserve too Ooooooh (It'll all get better in time…..)

Finally i'm posting!
My blog has reached 300 posts! A milestone for my beloved bloggie =)

Haven't posted for a long while. Whenever this happened, this means Allie has been "kidnapped"...lol. Previously it was maple, then by you-know-who, then now it's by cabal >.<.

Went to a cg outing yesterday and it was fun! They are a great bunch of people whom you cant help but feel very happy around them! Lovely lovely people, praise god =)

A little late to post, but here are some wonderful presents i've received for my bday!

A very lovely Cinnamonroll bento set from Ger! I lurrrrrve this! Sooooo cute and soooooo pretty! Check out my flicker for my first bento in this box!

A very very pretty necklace with a cross pendant from my Bro! I lurrrrrve this too! I was eyeing this before he bought it and didn't even tell him about it. And he bought the exact same one i wanted! Praise God =)

And not to forget, the pretty pendant i received from Alvin! Pretty pretty! Thank you all!

The past week has been a busy one for me, busy trying to keep myself well, while rushing all the work i've been lagging behind on.

The previous week in Bangkok was great too! We did loads of shopping and undies shopping especially =X. There was a Triumph sale so who can resist rite?

Here are some of my favourite stuff from the Bkk trip.

My lovely nails! Sooo cute with strawberrrrrieeeeeesss.

My Marie Cat luggage! I really couldn't resist buying this =X

The fruits of my "labour" >.<

The yummy chocolicious "Chocolate Millionaire" sundae from Swensens! It's really FULL of chocolate! so much that i almost overdosed. Imagine 4 huge scoops of ice cream, loads of chocolate truffles, plus chocolate wafers and a container of fudge! Sooooo sinful....

Me enjoying a cuppa at the airport

The two girls who went on a massive shopping spree!

After 4 days in Bkk, i'm just glad i'm back here cos of the fresh air and jam-free traffic. However, the 4 days were great cos i didn't have to work...haha...definitely a welcomed break after a period of hard sweat and tears.

Happy Belated Birthday to meeeeeee...waiting for my Pinky iPod!

Tears
Dunno why, but tears threatened to fall again. Suddenly, swiftly, a day before the impending day.

Early birthday celebration
There was a mini celebration in the office for me yesterday. Thanks to Alanna for organising and the sweet girls for waiting for us while we were at a meeting.

Here are the pics

Me with my favourite cake from Cedele Depot - Chocolate Espresso Banana =)



The Foreword girls


Me and intern Kyle, who was trying to be cheeky


Blowing out the candles!

And not to forget...the presents!

Guess what these are...petals de la fantasie...lol!!! They had to buy these for me after seeing them in St Urban >.<.


A close up pic =X


A box of beautifully made chocolates from Syl!


Look at the cute Hello Kitty design =) So sweet...thanks!!

After that, i went to meet my family for dinner. It was only until then then i realised how much difference it makes when you try to dissipate the anger on your own. It was my birthday dinner and everyone was late. I called mum at 645 and got to know we were supposed to meet at 8. When i called bro at 8.10, he was in Bedok, when we were supposed to meet at Marina Square. Mum was late too, but she reached at 815. And bro and dad, 8.45. Had to spend my time dilly dallying around Marina and flipping through the menu 20 times, trying to dissipate my anger.

It worked though. The old me would have thrown a huge fit over everyone being grosssssssly late and it would have spoilt everyone's mood. But i didn't. Instead, i wasn't upset and the dinner went fine.

Thank you all for the pre-celebrations. Hugz for all!

Yay
Can't stand leaving a sad post on top....lol.

Yayyyyy i FINALLY went running today! So proud of myself...lol. (yes im lame) Didnt run very far nor very long, but at least i got off my bed and went! (weet)

On my way back, i saw a horrible sight - one of a van dashing out from a side road and an incoming motorcyclist barely missed hitting it. Faintz...can't these drivers be more considerate? If they've hit each other, i think the motorcyclist would have gone. Guys, i strongly advise not to ride a bike. When accidents happen, even the most powerful might not be able to get there in time.

A busy weekend ahead...loadsa work to clear. But i'm glad my accomodation's settled. Prayed before i went running this morning and when i came back, it was confirmed!

Pity i couldn't go for care group yesterday cos of some last minute work issues which had to spillover into my weekend. But oh well, i'll get thru it =)
allie ♥ 2:25 PM
sigh
Am i very demanding?

Do i ask for too much?

Am i always not happy with what i have?

I dunno...someone tell me...

All about love
Colleagues and I were talking about how guys don't stay when girls are nice to them. Apparently, when the girl keeps throwing tantrums, and demands attention etc, they tend to stay around longer. According to my colleague "they love their demanding gfs so much they wanna marry her". Lol. Why is this so man. (Maybe they have an abusive streak in them =X)

Don't understand...can't understand.

The male intern shot back with "but girls also like bad guys what". "Not really" was our answer. I like good guys...not the bad ones...so i dont think that's true.

Lol...

More quotes from the audio message:

-Don't show the other person all your cards.

-Guys can commit adultery even when they don't love the girl. Girls interpret the lust for love.

-Guys love the chase. Once they've opened up all the Christmas presents, there's no excitement anymore.

-What celebration will you have if you've seen all the presents.

-Guys are visually oriented. Girls are feelings oriented.

-It's wrong if we allow it to control us. We are not animals. We control our passions.

-You've started the fire burning, where to draw the line. Only you can stop the fire.

-Most long courtships end up in breakup =(

-Faith date

-Love is not enough. You need love and respect.

-The more they indulge physically, the more the relationship breaks down =X

-The good ones will endure and will love you to the end.

-You need a man who knows how to put the devil under their feet.

-Look for teachable guys, and guys who are faithful in the area of money.

-Mr know-it-all is a dangerous thing to have

-Open your eyes real big, is this really what you want?

-The best thing for a couple is have a good quarrel (totally agreed)

-When you quarrel, you can finally see the true colour of the person

-There comes a time when you will not be conscious about the physical things

-Nothing happens to you by accident. Even a “chance” meeting with someone is part of God’s plan to set in motion His blessings in your life.

-POWs...People of Wisdom (LOL)

-Not love at first sight, but love at first "zzz" (means electric/lightning LOL)

-You can fall in love because of chemistry, but a relationship can't be based on chemistry

-Dont let the past hold you back. Just tell him/her that you are sorry.

Listening to the audio message, many things he said about the good guy who loves you...makes me ponder over lotsa things...It helps that it was super entertaining.

Looks like girls have got alot more control than they think =X. Seems like i was wrong...

"God loved me so much, he allowed me to go through it, blood sweat and tears"

Sometimes people are enlightened because they realise the suffering they've went through.

I'm almost there...i can see it this time round =)

Naughty Allie
Notti Allie's at it again. Down with rashes again after drinking yesterday >.<. When will i learn....lol. More itchiness and discomfort for a couple of days...lol.

Was just thinking about how i happened to have Christian bfs time and time again even though i wasn't one then. Looking back now...It's interesting how life and fate goes.

Agape love - Rock Solid love - A love that sees you at your worst and still loves you - A love that sees you fall but picks you up again

-If God has spoken that someone is for you, God will do something on the other end.

-Do not let prophecies, dreams direct you.

-People usually change when there's a guy/girl in their life.

-The bible says men look upon the outward appearance.

-You can admire the person, but don't give your heart so freely away.

-If a man is faithful in small things, he will be faithful in big things.

-What makes a man desirable is his loving kindness

-Take a chance. It's better that you tried, than to leave with the knowledge that you never tried.

Random quotes again =X

Cos i'm listening to my favourite pastor's audio message. So far, he's been the most impactful and enlightening when preaching the word. Love listening to him and i always feel inspired =).

Off to a different topic. I baked chocolate tortes over the weekend...and here are the results


Tried this for the first time. The results are so-so for me. I'm not a big fan of cream cheese, but my inspiration pic was too pretty to resist. Anyone wanna try?

The Leap Years
I'm so glad Ger asked me to watch Leap Years....it's a really nice show! Well, maybe i'm a sucker for such love stories. Love stories with a twist and a fairytale ending! Not sure if it'll ever happen in reality but to those whom this has happened , good for them cos they end up with the one they love, albeit the tough route to their ultimate destination.

The story was about a girl whose birthday fell on 29th February. On her 24th birthday, she plucked up the courage to ask a guy she met at the cafe out in old-fashioned love letter style. And the guy agreed. (This part was really funny, he wrote "ok" using lipstick and stood in the middle of a crowded road to show her the answer)

As such, they met, but the meeting only lasted for 2 hours, after which the guy had to fly off. But they made a promise to each other to meet same time, same place, 4 years later.

And over the 4 years, she waited painfully, in hope to see him again. She'd already fallen in love with him, but he never knew. And she went to the same place, same time, to wait for him, but he wasn't there. Eventually, he appeared, late. And they had a good time together, only for the girl to find out that he is already married. (Heartbreak)

"You're everything that i've dreamed of, and everything that's wrong. At that time, it hurt me so bad that i thought i would die. But i didnt"

Plus the double heartbreak came when her best friend who has liked her for years decided to stop waiting for her, and left for the foreign lands.

Another 4 years passed, girl had already "given up" on him. But when she droved passed that same old place they met, she saw him. The guy wanted to explain to her what happened, but she wouldn't listen, and even lied to her that she was married with a kid. And they parted, girl crying, guy disappointed.

"Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous"

4 years later, another guy proposed to girl. She agreed to marry him, on February 29. However, she wasn't happy. By coincidence, there was a jam on their way to the wedding, and she saw him again when they drove past the place they met. The guy left a letter for her, telling her how he felt for her. Ultimately, she didnt marry the other guy, and went for the guy of her dreams instead.

And guess what, they lived happily ever after. (My shortened version of the ending :P)

Yes yes...call me a sucker or what. But i happen to love it and i don't care.

Love the story, love Li Lin's acting. The lead guy's really cute. But i cringe whenever Qi Yuwu is about to open his mouth and speak English. Lol.....

Watch it! It's a great movie...guys might think it's cheesy though. But i think many people can relate to it. Plus, i lurrrrrrrrrrrve the soundtrack. Corrinne May totally rox!

Makes me wonder...if i'll have my fairytale ending too. Life's full of mystery and surprises, you'll never know what you will get till you pluck up the courage and go down the path of the unknown. You won't know what will happen when you walk down, when you open that door, and peer into that other side.

I admire her courage, her strength. It definitely wasn't easy, when people around you are telling you that you shouldn't be waiting, shouldn't be doing this and that. Then again, "you don't need anyone's approval to love someone". So one should just be brave and don't be afraid to love.

Was browsing through my screenshot collections and found those just before what happened. It always hurts to find and read them again, kept me wondering what happened in between. Maybe...maybe it was just too perfect to be true.

"Three words can summarise all i have learnt about life. It goes on"

Yep. Life goes on. It hurt me so bad I thought i would die too, but i didn't.

"Scars make us stronger for life"

"A person usually meets his destiny when he takes the route to avoid it"

"If it's not too long, I'll wait here for you all my life" - Oscar Wilde

Guys and girls react very differently. When a guy leaves (like Qi Yuwu), he goes and never comes back. Or rather, he comes back with another girl. When a girl leaves (like Li Lin), she acts like she don't care, but is hurting like mad inside, hoping that the guy will someday, somehow, pull her back again.

Lol....

Mummy dearest...
Mum flared up again last night. Over the same old things.

Am i not doing enough? I told her I'm trying, and I feel that i did make some progress, but to her, that's not enough.

Learnt so much from Boi...after seeing how he's like with his family members. I try to do the same, but it just ain't enough.

I havent been gaming in months...and once i start, she complains. To her, i'm not supposed to face the comp when i come home. I'm not supposed to go out late anymore(even when i've been doing so for the past 5 years or so). I'm not supposed to bring my frustrations back home. I'm not supposed to flare up at home. I'm supposed to respond to her each and every need (even when i didnt hear it =X). I'm supposed to talk to her whenever i feel down (even when she looks moody most of the time). I'm supposed to be happy all the time.

I try...really, i do.

She asked why are we not happy. I was stunned. I kept telling her that we are, both my bro and I. We are happy. There are times when we voice out our unhappiness at certain things...but that doesn't mean we are not happy. Does smiling necessarily mean we are happy? I think everyone knows the answer.

At a time when things are not going the way i want them to, when the shoulder i need is not there, everything's compounded together.

I see a shadow of myself in her....and i don't wanna go down that same path. I wonder how I can help her...how to meet her expectations. She wants us to live better than she did...i understand that...but how do i let her know that we already are? And that we are very blessed the way we are now?

I'm glad i found my God, my tower of strength. I know i'm not alone.

Quoting what pastor said,"It doesn't matter how you start. What matters is how you end."

Words are powerful indeed.
