What to you think?
Read this book 'An hour to Live An hour to Love'
If you have an hour to live and could make just one phone call,
who would it be to, what would you say...
and why are you waiting?
- author 'Stephen Levine'
Based on a true story: (taken off the internet)
Richard Carlsons sudden, tragic death in December 2006 left his millions of fans reeling, but even their many letters, calls, and e-mails couldnt erase the loss felt by his wife and partner, Kristine. To assuage her grief, she pored over a quarter centurys supply of love letters, reliving the emotions and cherishing her late husbands memory. In a profoundly moving act of healing, she focused on one letter full of particularly apt questions, which Richard had given to her on their eighteenth anniversary, and answered these questions with keen insight and fresh passion. Kris offers her heartfelt response to Richards moving letter.
Read the book, not as moving as I thought but it succeeded in making me think. We all know that we have to cherish love ones, live our life to the max and blah blah blah before we leave this world with no regrets; but we hesitate big time when we would have to pen down these thoughts.
Just curious, at this point of life, if you have an hour to live and could make just one phone call, who would it be for you guys? And what would you say?

Long Distance Relationship (LDR)
Dear Serene,
Do you realise you've survived a LDR for a whole 7 months??? So it's not impossible. And in fact, very probable. Hui hui, gambate neh!
Does that mean I can also go wandering for half a year and still maintain my relationship? That's a very delicious thought. I've just finished a book about a lady's soul searching journey in 12 months called Eat, Pray, Love.
She goes wandering along the cobbled streets of Italy, looking for the best pasta and pizza and gelato ice-cream, meeting charming Italian men (and maintain platonic friendships), watch Italian football matches, went to school to learn Italian and practise with the people there. I am very inspired! Have I mentioned before that I wish to stay in Italy for three months? OMG, I am so very inspired.

CNY Party
When are we going on our clubbing night? Are we having CNY gathering? If we are, can I propose that we do it the second weekend, 16/17 Feb? (We can have our potluck then!)
