Marriage is never easy

To be in a dating relationship, it is always easy to cut it off if you woke up one day realising that this is not the love of your life..

But if you are in a marriage, that is a whole new different thing. You got married because you are committed to each other. The support a wife needs to give the husband should be 100% + 1% more than anyone else. You don't say "Let's divorced" that easily because you are not divorcing your other one, you are breaking off all relationships with the other party's family too.

The love a husband needs to give the wife is also at 100% + 1% more. You can exceed but you must never lower that percentage.

Only after being in a marriage, you will realise how hard it is to maintain. You will have loans commitment, issues to deal with and also people you need to handle and these people may not even be your spouse!

When you get older, your love dies. But your love dies because your heart is dead or flown away.

I always thought people were stupid not being able to maintain their marriage but truth is, it is difficult. It is difficult because you realise he/she is not how you think they are. It is difficult because you are not how they think you are.

To maintain the marriage, lower your expectations but at the same time, improve yourself to meet your spouse's expectation. Men, look after the kids and help with the household work. Women, learn to change the light bulb and slim down.

And if one day, you have really decided to break if all off. Recall the days that you had been through. The first flower he gave you, the first kiss you ever have, your movie date, your normal hawker dinner, the struggles you go through getting your flat, the objections from parents on your relationship, your friends' words about both of you, and the vows you made in front of your witnesses.

Always remember, you were once madly in love.. And you will eventually find the feeling back..

[Review] Bio Oil - Getting rid of stretch marks and SCARS!

I’m the kind of girl that is always having bruises and scars on my legs and hands.  It’s quite embarrassing and unsightly to have big patches of scars on your leg!! I have always considered *if I ever become rich* to go for skin laser to get rid of my scars..

Till one day….

I’ve read about and heard about Bio Oil!!

Okay, here’s the story. As you would have known, I was preparing for my ROM last year.. However, silly little me fall down 2 months before my wedding and had a huge cut across my left thigh. I swear I was super angry and upset at myself so I went online to seek for help!! And then, I met it – Bio Oil. The reviews given was quite general, no pictures to support but people from all over the globe is giving thumbs up on this product.

I hesitated from buying because I’m really skeptical of a product that can remove scars (come on, we know that many products claim to remove scars but few really does, right?) so I delayed my purchase of Bio Oil. mr. Bambam heard about my scars and he was really pissed off – I got a big scolding from him for being so careless and I should have known better because it’s our ROM soon.. blah…blah….blah..

So, he got really very upset and pissed off, he went ahead and bought Bio Oil for me!!! :) Happy girl ^^,v

Bio Oil - The miracle oil

So, happily, I’ve been using this product. Every now and then *when I remember*, I will rub the oil at my scars!! My scars usually stay on for 1 year, 2 years or never gone.. So imagine me looking at it every other day wishing for it to disappear. I bring the oil everywhere I go and once I have the chance to, I will keep massage the scars’ area.

Anyways, the joy was the scars really are disappearing!! It is not a immediate effect but it took 3-4 months for the scars to disappear~~

Jumps for joy!

My scars will always come to me because I always… ALWAYS fall down! So knowing that such a product exists is like heavens dropping a immortal pill for me :P

Anyways, no picture no talk, right? Here’s proof of my before and after affected area – look at how to scars are gone after using Bio Oil.

Before – Slight scars (I’ve been using the oil for at least 1 month) & After – No more scars (I’ve been using the oil for at least 3 months)

Another photo that shows the scars clearly :)

I’m trying to target other areas like spider veins and stretch marks but I believe that the product will not fail me. I hope it does help you in a way or two too~! <3 p="">

The jobs that few would want..

The other day I was talking about how awesome the police drama was on channel 8 was to mr. Bambam and asked him why such a cool job couldn't attract people to join!

mr. Bambam logically analyse why for me. Mind boggling. First, it's the salary. And interlinked with dangers of the job.

Salary, I guessed, for our dear police shouldn't be much.. Perhaps a starting salary range from 1,800$ to 2,200$?

And the dangers associated to it! mr. Bambam was telling me being a police person has alot of dangers like facing minor criminals e.g. thief to extreme criminals e.g. murderer. Being a police person, you are also exposing your loved ones to danger if you made enemies when carrying out your duties. And mind you, it's not the normal office political kind of enemies. These enemies may be someone who might go crazy anytime to stab your loved ones.

So with that kind of danger, why would anyone want to join the force.

Another job I noted with very limited manpower is the qualified nurses in Singapore.

The healthcare industry has always been in a labour crunch. It's hard to recruit the right talent for these jobs. Nurses have long working hours, shift work, and facing demanding patients and their family. Not to mentioned, it is not  well recognised job by most people. And.. the low salary.

Conclusion, salary really plays a huge part in ensuring people join certain industry and jobs but.. that's just the tip of the ice berg.

Ultimately, the pull factor for people to join is the passion and willingness to serve. To serve the nation by ensuring the lowest crime rates in Singapore. To serve the nation by nursing the health of our children, elderly and injuried.

Yes, there are definitely alot of jobs that may be better but the heart and the desire to help is the greatest beauty anyone could have if they joined such industries.

With that, I truly saluate the country's soldiers, police, nurses, doctors and anyone else who dedicated their lifetime to serve, to put down materialistic gains and go for what truly matters to them - their heart of gold and compassion.

How's life?

I had my engagement on the 25 of November in year 2012. I must say Grand Copthrone have one of the nicest food among various hotels. Duh, they have like the most expensive menu for their wedding dinner! I can't afford that though :(
Oh well, another year has came. During my absence of blogging, I got 1) engaged (in the sense of legally married but not customary), 2) passed my exams and into my final semester, 3) change a new job and 4) preparing for my wedding and house.
How time flies, mr. Bambam and I had our 1 yr proposal anniversary too. It was just a simple meal at home :) cooked duly by me only!
I embarked a new journey now at a company and I hope this road brings me magical moments.
Oh, talk about magical.. I went to a Disney course and I'm so attracted by the employees' enthusiasm and willing to put 101% effort in their job. It makes me longing to work for such a company where dreams matter.
And I'm inspired to have a close to Disney theme for my wedding! I hope it will turn out nice ;) We, brides, are only princess just once in our lives. And, we all hope to end happily ever after, right?
To end, let me share my favourite picture of my engagement (mr. Bambam n me)!
