Random Update

Random update here. Just realized the difference between having falsies on and without. Pardon the pimply marks because I just went for facial the day before!

See!

I still feel weird wearing falsies because it's like... fake? Tickling thick feeling but I will try every once in a while. Still have not master the technique of putting it on well.

Had to go for falsies because I can't put on Mascara and eye liner. I perspire easily and mascara will leave smudges around my eye area and often it looks like I am having panda eyes. I tried all sorts of mascara and eye liners but none works for me, sadly :(

So in the end I resort to falsies.

Had a nice dinner out at Brotzeit to celebrate Ting Wei's birthday. The girls had a nice catchup over dinner, talking about so many things! We wouldn't even leave if not for the waiters kept interrupting us. Really great talking about our work, reality, love, money etc.

There was a debate over money VS love. Hmm, I used to think the same way like many would think - that money is everything. No money no talk, no money no love. I used to think that I want to earn lots and lots of money and spend on things I like, do things I love. When I was young, I have this fantasy of wanting to stay in a bungalow. Yes this was my dream when I was young. Even though until up till now this is still one of my aims, but it is not my priority anymore.

To me, money is important but it is not everything. Even with money, though you can buy every single thing you like and do every single thing you love to do, there is bound to be a time when you will be sick of it. That is when you think back and realized that nothing is achieved afterall. You have just wasted your time doing something non-meaningful. Money makes you happy, just for that period of time. It does not guarantee you lifelong happiness. 

All the happiness you get from material goods is nothing compared to the happiness derived from true love, true feelings, good health. Nothing.

It is not wrong to aim for more money - in fact it is a very good aim. The important thing is to be contented with what you can have.

I used to be a very materialistic person. To me everything is about money. Then I met boy, and he taught me how money is not equivalent to everything. He gave me the happiness I could never buy with money. He taught me that being happy together on a date doesn't mean having to go to lavish restaurants for a romantic dinner but more importantly the time spent with each other. He taught me that buying a present doesn't mean something expensive but more importantly the thought being put into it. He taught me how I can just make him a card for his birthday and he will be very happy about it. He taught me how money can't buy the amount of attention he showers me whenever I land myself in trouble at school/work. He taught me how I should plan my finances well and not spend on unnecessary non-value-added stuffs.

Because of his Philippine race, many may have stereotyped him as "poor", "not highly educated" - all the negative things you can think of. But he is not affected by it and does not bother to explain to people about his background even though they have mistaken him terribly. He doesn't go around showing people his wealth. In fact he shows his sincerity - which is what money cannot be bought.

This is when I realized how much effort he has put into planning our future and making sure that I am well taken care of, even up till the point in the event that he left me.

This man taught me how love can be so simple. No amount of money can buy me this.

Happiness is not just about money. To me, happiness is true love and more importantly, health.

With all the money you can have but you are sick/your loved ones are sick and there is nothing you can do to help them, do you even care about the money?

My own thoughts.
