One-Week-Post-Valentine's-Day-Reflection.

I think Valentine's Day 2012 might have been the best one I've ever had.
It might also be the only 'real' one I've celebrated..

..but it's still probably the best one I'll have for years.

This year I got flowers, and chocolates,
and a last minute visit from my Valentine!

I received a scrapbook with photos of us from the past 4-5 years of our lives.
We spent them together..
and that's what makes love true, and last.
Memories.
Genuine.
Sweet.

The best part about the whole thing is that we've actually grown up together.
We've shared the same experiences and made the best of them.
Together.

Some other couples grow apart.
Sometimes one of them grows up,
and the other one doesn't.
Sometimes a bad experience leaves a scar.

The Lord has blessed the two of us with this special and irreplaceable gift.
I know, our love isn't what society would view as conventional..
..but maybe that's what makes it so much more precious.
In a society like today's,
people are messed up,
quick to judge others,
but never willing to look at their own mistakes and problems.

Yes, I do care what my parents think,
and I don't know if they'll approve,
but while I have this wonderful gift God has given us,
I'm going to make the best out of it,
because it really might be one of the best things that's
EVER
happened to me.

To my sweetest Love:
I love you,
and I probably always will,
come what may.

Valentine's 2012

"Your eyes are wonderful
Your smile is too
Your laugh's contagious
And your heart is true
There's beauty in your touch
And your kiss is love
You're everything that every guy dreams of
You're everything
That makes me fall in love."
-Chester See's Everything

Happy Valentine's Day 2012, everybody.
Love is out there, waiting for you to reach for it.

Hahaha, CAROLYN you can stop whining now!
I've blogged.


:D

Well, technically I have anyway.

..and to sum up my 2011.

I've grown, here in Manchester. I used to hate it, but I'm getting used to it. Living on my own, being in a foreign country, and having to do things differently.

My lover has become my best friend, too. We're learning to live with each other, give each other space, but the love hasn't lessened, only grown. ♥

I now have a god-daughter whom I adore, and I want to see her soar, because I know she can. She was a bit of a surprise, but don't we all love surprises? ♥

I've travelled a great deal. I've learnt a little bit of several different languages, embraced different cultures, and met wonderful, crazy people from random corners of the world.

I've fallen in love with my faith and beliefs, and strengthened them.

I've upped my levels of professionalism and work ethic and networking. I've learnt to handle stress and manage people.

I've lost some members of the family - learnt compassion, and how to appreciate time, and love, and how to move on, too.

I got to spend an amazing 2 weeks in Europe with my mother and I know, I will someday be exactly like her in so many ways. I am my Mother's Daughter, always.

I have been humbled. I did well, but I am not as intelligent as I thought I was, and I have to get used to that, and increase the diligence. I will.

I've made some amazing friends, and inevitably lost some, too, with the passing of time but diminishing efforts to keep in touch. I do know, however, that the important, worthy friends will still love me throughout the years, and I am comforted knowing this.


I want to say that I am truly sorry for my mistakes and shortcomings of all the years past, and I will try to be a better woman each day. Thank you for loving me, supporting me, challenging me, comforting me, and I hope 2012 brings for everyone nothing but smiles, joy, and more love.

♥

A very Happy New Year to one and all!

Whether you're lonely or sad,
or surrounded by the people you love and care for and happy,
enjoy your New Year.
Everyone could use a fresh start.

Make it start with love, and smiles, and laughter.
Never let those end!

My love, and best wishes,
Amelia.

Diwali!

Been bloody ages since I've posted something eyh?


SORRY LAH. I've been SO busy with University and classes and seminars and badminton and moving back into my flat and meeting people and shopping and spending money.

Oh well,
Hello there my beautiful people!


It's Diwali tonight and we're going out for dinner. Poor Naina-bee, she's feeling homesick!

I'm looking forward to getting my arm all henna-ed anyway.

Happy Deepavali/Diwali to everyone I know who celebrates. I know, I'm Indian deep down inside, so that wish will apply to myself too. (:



Special shoutout to Naina, Nisha, and Hitakshi. <3

It burns!

Today is the first afternoon I've spent without my doll since I arrived in Kuala Lumpur,
and I am bored senseless.

I have completed reading 5 books in the span of 6 days.

Thankfully I've paid to go for a concert tonight, which will occupy 2 hours of my
not-so-precious time.

Some day before I die I will regret all this time and youth wasted!

I have yet to meet my larger groups of friends,
mostly just church people and family.

Went to the pasar malam with Hitakshi last night,
and video-called Joe!
What an eventful night. (:

I am so utterly blessed with great people in my life.
Yesterday we were supposed to go swimming and get nice tans,
but the pool was being maintained/cleaned,
and so we ended up on a guitar-playing/singing adventure.

Oh how I missed playing the guitar.




Should I make a birthday wishlist this year? I am kind of dreading it.
