Random Musings and an Interesting Date

Lately, I have been secretly yearning for lush, long hair. Im talking waist length. I want to put it up, straighten it, curl it, etc. Theres a real quiet sexy confidence about long hair, I think, that cannot be felt by others but by the wearer everytime she thinks of it or even feels its ends swishing at the back of her waist. :) I have a dream.;

On a different note, I have been working really hard the past few months, and it just dawned unto me that I havent really stepped out of my comfort zone and immersed myself in new cultures or seen more places. Id like to go to India, or Japan or the Greek Islands, or Egypt anywhere interesting. I actually started dreaming after seeing Dionne's picturesof the Greek Islands. . :) Also, if any of you have recommendations, please yell them out!I love hearing about exciting places!

Also, went on a date this weekend. it has been quite a while,so I am a little rusty. It turned out interesting to say the least. A mutual friend introduced us and so we decided to meet for lunch. He was super nice and interesting and funny and generally I got a feeling that he was the good sort. Although, he confessed later that he was actually in a serious relationship with someone else and that his family wasnt too happy with it and that was why he was forced to come out on dates. Errm Yes. THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. soi told him it was great meeting him, i wished him well, and that i hoped everything worked out for him. He was a sweetheart though. Id sure like to be friends with him.

So that, in a nutshell, was my weekend. I did also manage to catch up with some friends and family, as well as buy new sheets (yeay!) and visit the local cafe and read some books. Loved it all.

Left: Me, Right: Brand New Family!

Its been a whirlwind of activities these past few weeks. Which explains my absence in blogosphere, and I aplogise. I am sorry I havent written in a bit, and I truly regret not being able to read all your posts and commenting. I am eager however, to do a blog reading marathon, and am saving it for the weekend. I hope I have not offended any one of you, and thank you for checking in on me and the sweet, sweet comments. I know I have the best blog friends in the world.:)

With the wedding planning, and the dance nights organised at our house, the actual wedding and the reception afterwards, it was truly an effort to take 1 hour off for anything.Despite the lack of time for myself, I really did have the time of my life. The constant flow of family and friends in and out of the house, the dancing, the comraderie, really did remind me of the more beautiful things in life. I do not get very emotional in public, but this wedding, sometime in the middle, I cried. It was beautiful. Heres a couple of pics we took, hope u enjoy them.

Arent weddings just soo romantic?

Can You Really Hear Me?

I have a completely mind boggling story to tell today. I am all confused and baffled and am clueless as towhat to make of it at present time, but here goes. Technically, its not a story, just a series of happenings.

I find it ultra hard to go to sleep on Sunday nights. Ever since I was a child. I get so overwhelmed by the upcoming week, that I at least need two hours to fall asleep. Last night was no different. I decided to turn on some music on my laptop for help. The likes of Coldpay-Fix You (which is by far my most favouritest song ever!), Ingrid Michaelson's Keep Breathing and Switchfoot's You. Which naturally got me into a like a weird mushy emo mood. And for some strange reason, I started talking to the Universe.Which is totally strange to me. I have never done it before, yet I did. I talked. I asked.

I said that I dont need a boyfriend, but itd be sure nice to have one, and that i was confident the Universe was going to find me the exact guy I wanted. My perfect one. The one that complemented me.I was buttering the Universe up. Spreading it thick. I remember smiling and drifting off to sleep.

Fast Forward this morning. 9am. In my office. Me checking emails. Completely forgot about 'divine want'.

I come across an email from an unfamiliar address. I quickly realised it was an ex-boyfriend. Long story short, it was a super toxic relationship which lasted 4 years. We loved each other but drove each other up the wall. So we ended it. We were friends off and on after that, but once he got married, I decided it wasnt appropriate anymore, simply because we had issues and feelings simmering beneath the mask of friendship. That was 2 years ago.

So you can imagine my suprise this morning when I received the email. He asked how I was and that we should meet up just to catch up. I was so shocked, I took an insanely sharp breath, which in turn prompted my roomie to assume I was having an asthma attack.

Im wondering though.Did the Universe really hear me? Because subconciously, I always felt that he was the One. Like a long time ago. He definitely isnt now. And He-LLO, I meant someone different and new and exciting who fits me?

Isnt that totally bizarre? I dont know what to make of it.

Thats it right there, the story. Tell me what you think. I just find it too hard to believe that its a mere coincidence, yet I cant tell yet how much I believe of this universe theory. What do you think?
