On a saturday late afternoon.

It's pouring and i'm in one of my romantic moods again..

Isn't it wonderful to take a really hot shower with the sound of rain so clear and near you through the windows of your bathroom. It brings back fond memories of luxurious resort holidays with open-concept bathrooms, pebble flooring, rainforest shower heads and best of all, above you is the sky! There's no roof, no see-through ceiling, nothing at all that separates you from touching the sky.. literally...while you shower! And stretching in front of you when you look out of the windows is an awesome blue ocean with beautiful ripples from the falling rain. These, my friend, are the priceless luxuries that give me the reason to breathe in this world. Not to mention slipping into my favourite stark white singlet and white/gold cotton pyjamas pants from old navy.

It's one of those moments to cuddle up really close with a loved one on a super king-sized fluffy bed and have a dreamy and nice conversation. Right now, i'll just settle to cuddle up in my super fluffy sofitel bed with a furless louis *anti-climax sound effect* with michael buble playing in the background.

5 years ago, I had been speeding down the lane pretty steadily I could say in pursue of the sense of accomplishments I had always prioritised no. 1 in my life. Love was nowhere on top of the list. Musing on the conversation with sista last night, I admire how focused she is to always wanna remain in the backseat and take everything slowly in her own pace (although i could also have my arguement that that equates nua-ness). I've moved too fast. I don't think i've actually taken the time to appreciate the trips to japan, korean, new york or even cameron highlands which is a beautiful place. Right now, I guess I finally wanna switch to gear 2 to cruise and be contended being a simpleton. And the only way to be contend is to heart God. Secular temptations can only bring you further from where you (i) truly wanna be. And I wanna be in love again. To be in love with someone who can make me a better person and to see the good in people/life. I was fortunate to have been with such a someone. The only unfortunate thing was I wasn't ready to love then. And I hope it's not too late to start learning how to (truly) love now.

With a big packet of mee goreng+omelette, this is definitely the evening to be in mood for a good movie at home. alfie or elizabethtown or a long engagement...hmm...or a repeat of a drew barrymore dvd...

what's romantic to you? here's my list:
- rainy nights
- snuggling up in bed on rainy nights with your sweetheart
- moon river
- kissing
- eating ice cream on rainy days
- sharing things
- conquering adventures together
- playing red alert together as opponents


*happy and loved*
