The 1% Girl – I Was Pushed To The Edge, I Screamed and I Flew

Being 1% better than the moment before

Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D.H.Lawrence

Well what can I say? Utterly boring. I was, to say the least, hugely disappointed. After all the hooha and all the controversy surrounding it, can you blame me for having expectations?! The words and descriptions are draggy and come across as pretty much strained. I feel there were many awkward gaps in the plot and I cannot always follow exactly how are the protagonists feeling. Overall, I feel tedious going through the descriptions that does not really shed much light to me into their inner psyche. Perhaps it is indeed a trying task for a male writer of his time to try and add more depth and intensity to the romance of a novel? I applaud his effort which have spin off much but it certainly won’t alter the fact that it simply doesn’t do the job for me. The novel only redeemed itself a little after I saw the movie adaptation because it was worse. I think it’s time to turn to good old Avon Red. What must a woman do to get her desired dose of mental romantic thrill? :)

Ramblings from a Shakespeare Wannabe

Joy in Macau

Joy in Macau

Hello people!

How bizarre it feels to be writing again. Felt like an ancient time ago since I cracked my brain to string words together to form sentences. Hoping that it will make sense at the end of the day and could perhaps enlighten you or at least amuse you…

Love Program

Yes, the beautiful babe or for a few of you (thank you for the hate mails) the sleazy girl is back! Oh well, let the one who sin not cast the first stone (please mis-aim hor, thank you ah..) *)

Love Program

Several painful months spent orientating my way through being a student again. And worse, of all options, trying to be a literary student (you think you bery sophicated izzit??!!!). It was after much hesitation (my very pathetic exposure to literature but impossible attraction to it) that I decided to just take a deep breath and plunge into the dark gloomy waters.

Love Program

It was a glorious time with my nose getting lost among the books written by genius writers from the past (hell time getting hold of these books in Singapore!). Quite a honor really. To have the opportunity to read all these great works. How better to suffer (popular concept: you ah, must suffer lah, or else how to get your degree? No pain no gain you understand girl?!) for my education than to drown myself reading.

Love Program

Having said all that, let me assure you I spend days on end or at least llloooonnnggg moments walking around looking rather dazed and in a world of my own (Hello, Planet Earth calling Joy). I started taking naps too. There is this theory that it’s because the brain needs you to zzzzz so that it can do OT (overtime) to process all information being dumped at it at a rapid rate (I like this theory by the way. Haha). Do you think it’s true?

Love Program

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the reading list. I devoured it like a hungry monster. I was more famished for new knowledge (sucker for intellectual stimulation lah) than I had anticipated. However, of course, like everything else in life, there is ALWAYS a downside.

Love Program

One of the most blatant one is I became physically lazy! Long hours of sitting still (trust me, it was so challenging for me to do so!) to read like a mad woman to finish my reading schedule for the day had made me as lazy as a pig.

Love Program

To be fair, I was also worried shitless that I could NEVER finish the reading list (I’m still only halfway through!) and whether I could survive the old English nightmare (Eh, what talk you ah?)

Love Program

Thankfully, now that I have gotten a little bit more used to cramping lots of “chiem” (profound) English into the brain (pet my brain, good job!) and being a little more convinced (perhaps, I can do this after all! oh yeah!), I have come back to meet with the rest of you.

Love Program

Sadly during my hibernation, the economy had a good time bungee jumping from the Westin Hotel (oh sorry hor, now call Fairmont Hotel). At the risk of getting beaten up by the diligent work force, I cannot resist the pleasure of declaring; no better time to go back to school!

Love Program

Another downside is that I have become very loooonnnng winded. In vain attempts to show off my new literary vocabulary (like real!) and to explore different ways of conveying the same meaning as I used to, my poor family and friends have suffered greatly at the hands of my reading list.

Love Program

Ho ho!

Conclusion?

Hey! I’m having a ball with my education but don’t worry,

I’M BACK TO HAUNT THE INTERNET SPACE.

Watch out!!!! ,)

ha ha!

Sex And The City

young SensUal

========= Love Program ============

The show that is taking the movie theaters by storm now. I remembered watching Sex And The City two years ago in Melbourne. I was alone on my usual ” I need to get out!” trip. I chanced upon the hotel library and was absolutely thrilled to see the four magic words in some boxes hidden at the corner.

Love Program

I have always watched to watch Sex And The City. It was one of those things that “I never got round to it” for me. Excited, I basically spent the next two nights replacing beauty sleep with crazy episodes of women talking, whining and making love to men.

Love Program

I was completely hooked! And I spent my day tours on the coach, blissfully asleep. Haha! I can never forget. And of course like the rest of the world (most of it I think), I can’t wait for the movie to arrive! I am very amused to learn that even men loved it.

Love Program

Women love it because we can relate to the experiences of the four leading actresses, in particular their pain. But I still cannot comprehend what is the attraction for men.

Love Program

And it was quite amusing to me to be able to discuss the details of the drama serial with men and they could contribute intelligently and with a fair amount of content and opinion I must say! What a crazy world! :)

Can’t decide if you want to catch the movie?

What is Love?

SensUal and Joy, creator of Way Back Into Love

SensUal Joy

=================

At one seminar where I was speaking on the concept of pro activity, a man came up to me and said,” Stephen, I like what you’re saying. But every situation is so different. Look at my marriage. I’m really worried. My wife and I just don’t have the same feelings for each other we used to have. I guess I just didn’t her anymore and she doesn’t love me. What can I do?”

Love Program

“The feeling isn’t there anymore?” I asked.

“That’s right.” he reaffirmed. “And we have three children we’re really concerned about. What do you suggest?”

“Love her,” I replied.

Love Program

“I told you, the feeling just isn’t there anymore.”

“Love her.”

“You don’t understand. The feeling of love just isn’t there anymore.”

Love Program

“Then love her. If the feeling isn’t there, that’s a good reason to love her.”

“But how do you love when you don’t love?”

“My friend, love is a verb. Love – the feeling – is a fruit of the verb. So love her. Serve her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her. Are you willing to do that?”

In the great literature of all progressive societies, love is a verb. Reactive people make it a feeling. They’re driven by feelings Hollywood has generally scripted us to believe that we are not responsible, that we are a product of our feelings. But the Hollywood script does not describe the reality. If our feelings control our actions, it is because we have abdicated our responsibility and empowered them to do so.

Love Program

Proactive people make love a verb. Love is something you do, the sacrifices you make, the giving of self, like a mother bringing a newborn into the world. If you want to study love, study those who sacrifice for others, even for people who offend or do not love in return. If you are a parent, look at the love you have for the children you sacrificed for.

Love is a value that is actualized through loving actions. Proactive people subordinate feelings to values. Love, the feeling, can be recaptured.

- The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Stephen R Covey)

More about Stephen R. Covey at

This passage has left a deep impact on me. It is a beautiful paragraph. I feel humbled. Here we are always saying you don’t love me enough or you should love me this way. What is with all these “shoulds” and pointing fingers.

Everything we point the finger, 4 other fingers point back at ourselves. And we want to take love and not give. Because it is easier and safer. We end up coming from a place of fear. The best way to love yourself is to love those around you. Even if they are not coming from a place of love for now. That’s what I am thinking about right now…
