Aries In Love

Aries is the cardinal-fire sign which translates into life loving and highly energized and this describes their needs concerning love as well. As a partner they make life exciting, albeit occasionally tiring, and you cannot help but feel rather joyful and light hearted when you're in their company. It's that blend of innocence (the lamb) with pure power (the ram) that is so captivating about an Aries mate. They don't understand the meaning of the word routine, however, and boredom is the number one killer of Aries romances. Aries loves as boldly and as strongly as it experiences life. From sports to personal challenges Aries are usually not happy unless they are moving after something. With Mars as their ruling planet oftentimes their entire lives are about channeling and putting that immense power to work for them. It's not uncommon to find an Aries firmly committed to a long term volatile arrangement that leaves those around them wondering why they would stay. The truth is they often thrive on that kind of intensity and it can do far less damage than existing within a relationship that has grown routine and stagnant. When an Aries loves they LOVE.The partner is hoisted up onto a pedestal whether they want to be there or not and they become a treasure to be protected and guarded passionately. The love of an Aries life often becomes the driving motivation for their challenging goals and the phrase, "I did this for YOU" is one heard in many of the best Aries relationships.

Aries Sexuality
An Aries sexuality is driven, powerful and almost a feat of showmanship when they are truly captivated. Since Aries tend to be action/goal oriented sex can become a series of higher plateaus involving anything their fertile imaginations can conjure up. Aries are the zodiac show-off and the bedroom isn't excluded from their dramatic and captivating ability to get partners undivided attention. The more appreciated they feel the more they invest in their lovemaking and private boundaries exist only to give an Aries something to leap over. Marathons of passion, spontaneous liaisons in the most unexpected places and inexhaustible stamina are all part of the Aries basic sexual make-up.

The Long Term Story
Lots of pampering and a lot of attention are needed with an Aries lover as they thrive on feeling they are number one in your life. They love to do the initial chasing and are usually not attracted to being chased but once their heart is given you can't ever over-do your displays of affection. While they can be jealous and possessive you cannot show the same qualities and any kind of clinging is a sure fire way to drive them into new pastures. Under all the Aries bravado and show is actually a rather innocent child who simply wants to explore the wonderful world around them and to be appreciated. The more encouraged they are in either area the more exuberant they become.

Positive Traits in Love
Exuberance, expressiveness, passion, generosity, adoration, protectiveness, adventuress, fun loving, creative and energized lovemaking, and devotion.

Negative Traits in Love
Temperamental, jealous, possessive, ego oriented, inconsiderate, reckless, fickle

What an Aries Likes
Being number one, A positive attitude, A life loving comrade, A. partner who has style or a 'look', Being Seen Getting gifts, Loyalty, Being active together. Romance and dazzle.

What an Aries Dislikes
Being bored, Being chased, Sloppiness in a mate, Criticism, Anything mundane, Feeling unappreciated, Feeling inferior, Losing, Having to repeat things. Displays of insecurity.

Taurus In Love

Taurus is a stable and earthy sign and their partnerships require an equally strong and centered base. There is a definite serious approach to life which is held by every Taurus in one degree or another and a partner who can at least understand this facet of them is important. They make generous, loyal and extremely supportive mates when they feel the relationship is true and secure but getting them to that point generally takes a great deal of time and effort. Taurus cherishes waiting, watching and being assured of something's value before they invest their heart and feelings. They will retreat at any sign of flakiness or instability and once a Taurus retreats getting them back to the point they started at is difficult, if not impossible.Although they are slow to trust and give once they do their trust is almost a magical thing and very little can shake it. Even when the generosity is not earned a Taurus deeply committed will very often hold on to the smallest shred of hope that everything is all right. As partners they are homebodies and enjoy their surroundings and all things that they can possess and embrace. They intuitively collect and protect and their 'people' often fall into this category. A Taurus expects loyalty and support from their mate and also to be the boss in the relationship.

Taurus Sexuality
Earthy, sensual and caring are hallmarks of Taurus sexuality. For Taurus sex is a natural, healthy and all important part of their relationship and they immerse themselves in it. Love and sex are one and the same to a Taurus and it is only when firmly committed that most can truly let go and enjoy. Bedroom Olympics and exciting kinky escapades are not their cup of tea and they tend to hold onto their personal favorites. But they believe in sharing their pleasure and work diligently to make sure their partner enjoys the passion as much as they do.

The Long Term Story
Keeping it together over the long term requires a thorough understanding of the Taurean ways. As a fixed earth sign they are almost immovable, especially if they feel they are being forced into something. Knowing their ways and encouraging any change ever so slowly assures the relationship of moving forward and remaining vibrant. It takes a great deal to truly anger a Taurus once it is in love but disloyalty will usually be the ultimate factor. Yet as slow as they are to attach they are equally slow to detach and break-ups tend to hang on eternally. Once a Taurus truly closes its heart, however, there is very little chance they will open back up. The

Problem Zone
In a relationship with a Taurus most of the troubles will emerge over jealousy, possessiveness and inability to change. They can be immovable forces when they so desire and if they have decided they are perfectly happy with something exactly as it is no one can force them to change. There is a tendency for them to see people they love as cherished personal objects and this can turn into a very strong jealousy factor. Letting go can also be a problem for the same reasons.

Positive Traits in Love
Loyal, dedicated, generous, protective, caring, doting, understanding, stability.

Negative Traits
Jealousy, possessiveness, control, immobility, over-seriousness.

What an Taurus Likes
Feeling secure, Being pampered, Kept promises, Sensibility, Being on time, Together time at home, Sharing good meals, Unhurried affection, Commitments, Stability in a mate, Getting special gifts.

What an Taurus Dislikes
Being hurried, Being told what to do, Flightiness in a partner, Unexpected changes in plans, Loud, noisy party scenes, Careless or unappealing environments, Forgetfulness in a mate.

Think Of Me

Think of me
Think of me fondly,
When we've said goodbye...
Remember me.
Once in a while
Please promise me you'll try...
When you find that once again you long
to take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me
We never said our love was evergreen
or as enchanting as the sea,
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me
Think of all the things we've shared and seen
Don't think about the things we tried
Think of me
Think of me waking, silent and resigned
Imagine me trying to hard to put you from my mind
Recall those days,
Back on all those times
On all the things we'll never do
There will never be a day when I don't think of you.
We never said our love was ever green
or as enchanting as the sea
But please promise me that sometimes
You will think..
Of me!

Our Song...

This song is our song next to Bi Wo Xing Fu by Chen Xiao Dong.
I can't remember the exact day or date. But all I can remember was that you dedicated this song at the NYP Engineering canteen for me. It wasn't our anniversary, it was just another ordinary day at school...
I was touched and felt embarrassed at the same time. You simply melted my heart when the DeeJay announced your dedication and this song was played over the loudspeakers. Although you didn't say anything romantic to me but from your smile, I knew that you still do love me despite all my flaws (and so do I)...
From that eventful day, everytime this song is played over the radio, in a restaurant, in a shopping mall, etc.. it just brings me back to the history of how we fell in love, survived through numerous of 'obstacles', how much I love you and how much you prove to love me too. Then, when these thoughts start running through my mind, I often get into sort of a dreamy mood and you will spot me smile sweetly to myself...
Never knew myself to be ever falling head over heels with a guy... Guess this is the power of love!


Only Love

2a.m and the rain is falling
Here we are at the crossroads of love once again
You're telling me that you're so confused
You can't make up your mind
Is this meant to be
You're asking me

But only love can say- try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I'll just play my part
And pray that you'll have a change of heart
But I can't make you see it through
That's something only love can do

In your arms as the dawn is breaking
Face to face and a thousand miles apart
I've tried my best to make you see
There's hope beyond the pain
If we give enough- if we'll learn to trust

But only love can say- try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I'll just play my part
And pray that you'll have a change of heart
But I can't make you see it through
That's something only love can do

I know if I could find the words
To touch you deep inside
You'd give our dreams just one more chance
Don't let this be our last goodbye

But only love can say- try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I'll just play my part
And pray that you'll have a change of heart
But I can't make you see it through
That's something only love can do

H&A Ring!!!!!

It is such a wonderful feeling to be able to get something you really desire and want...
I finally managed to buy the H&A ring from SK jewellery. This is the ring that I have been longing for and even been waiting for the past one year.
Although it is pretty expensive and nearly cost me half of my bonus, I bought it with no regrets.

A Romantic Story...

A story that touched my heart. Hope it touches yours too...



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When You Divorce Me, Carry Me Out in Your Arms

On my wedding day, I carried my wife in my arms. The bridal car stopped in front of our one-room flat. My buddies insisted that I carry her out of the car in my arms. So I carried her into our home. She was then plump and shy. I was a strong and happy bridegroom.
This was the scene of ten years ago. The following days were as simple as a cup of pure water: we had a kid, I went into business and tried to make more money. When the assets were steadily increasing, the affections between us seemed to ebb. She was a civil servant. Every morning, we left home together and got home almost at the same time. Our kid was studying in a boarding school.Our marriage life seemed to be enviably happy. But the calm life was more likely to be affected by unpredictable changes. Dew came into my life.
It was a sunny day. I stood on a spacious balcony. Dew hugged me from behind. My heart once again was immersed in her stream of love. This was the apartment I bought for her. Dew said, "You are the kind of man who best draws girls eyeballs." Her words suddenly reminded me of my wife. When we just married, my wife said, "Men like you, once successful, will be very attractive to girls." Thinking of this, I became somewhat hesitant. I knew I had betrayed my wife. But I couldn't help doing so. I moved Dew's hands aside and said, "You go to select some furniture,O.K.? I ve got something to do in the company." Obviously, she was unhappy, because I had promised her to go and see with her. At the moment, the idea of divorce became clearer in my mind although it used to be something impossible to me. However, I found it rather difficult to tell my wife about it. No matter how mildly I mentioned it to her, she would be deeply hurt. Honestly, she was a good wife. Every evening, she would be busy preparing dinner. I would be sitting in front of the TV. The dinner would be ready soon. Then we watched TV together or, I would be lounging before the computer, visualizing Dew's body. This was the means of my entertainment.
One day, I said to her in a slightly joking way, "Suppose we divorce, what will you do?" She stared at me for a few seconds without a word. Apparently, she believed that divorce was something too far away from her mind. I couldn't imagine how she would react once she got to know I was serious.
The next day, my wife went to my office, Dew had just stepped out. Almost all the staff looked at my wife with a sympathetic eye and tried to hide something while talking to her. She seemed to have got some hint. She gently smiled at my subordinates. But I could read that there were some hurt in her eyes. Once again, Dew said to me, "He Ning, divorce her, O.K.? Then we can live together." I nodded. I knew I could not hesitate any more.
That evening, when my wife served the last dish, I held her hand. "I've got something to tell you." I said. She sat down and ate quietly. Again, I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly, I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. "I want to divorce you." I raised the serious topic calmly. She didn't seem to be much annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, Why?"
I avoided her question. This so-called answer turned her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, "You are not a man!"
At that night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer, because my heart had gone to Dew. With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. I felt a stabbing pain in my heart. The woman who had been living ten years with me would become a stranger one day. But I could not take back what I had said. Finally, she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me, her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer.
One late night, I came back home after entertaining my clients. I saw her writing something at the table. I fell fast asleep. When I woke up, I found she was still there. I turned over and was asleep again.
She brought up her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but I was supposed to give her one month's time before divorce and during that month we must live as normal life as possible.
Her reason was simple: our son would finish his summer vacation a month later and she didn't want him to see our marriage was broken. She passed me the agreement she drafted, and then asked me, "He Ning, do you still remember how I entered our bridal room on the wedding day?" This question suddenly brought back all those wonderful memories to me. I nodded and said, "I remember"
"You carried me in your arms," she continued, "so, I have a requirement, that is, you carry me out in your arms on the day when we divorce. From now to the end of this month, you must carry me out from the bedroom to the door every morning."
I accepted with a smile. I knew she missed those sweet days and wished to end her marriage with a romantic form.
I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. "No matter what tricks she does, she has to face the result of divorce."she said scornfully. Her words more or less made me feel uncomfortable. My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. We had even treated each other as a strangers.
So when I carried her out for the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, "Daddy is holding Mummy in his arms." His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the living room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly, "Let us start from today, don't tell our son." I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for bus, I drove to office.
On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. We were so close that I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked intimately at this woman carefully for along time. I found she was not young any more. There were some fine wrinkles on her face.
On the third day, she whispered to me, "The outside garden is being demolished. Be careful when you pass there..."
On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I seemed to feel that we were still an intimate couple and I was holding my sweetheart in my arms. The visualization of Dew became more vague.
On the fifth day, she kept reminding me something, such as, where she put the ironed shirts, I should be careful while cooking, etc. I nodded. The sense of intimacy was even stronger. I didn't tell Dew about this. By then, I felt it was easier to carry my wife. Perhaps, the everyday workout made me stronger. I said to her, "It seems not difficult to carry you now."
On the sixth day, she was picking her dresses. I was waiting to carry her out. She tried quite a few but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, "All my dresses have grown fatter."
I smiled. But I suddenly realized that it was because she was thinner that I could carry her more easily, not because I was stronger. I knew she had buried all the bitterness in her heart. Again, I felt a sense of pain. Subconsciously, I reached out a hand to touch her head. Our son came in at the moment. "Dad, it's time to carry mum out." He said. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had been an essential part of his life. She gestured our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face because I was afraid I would change my mind at the last minute. I held her in my arms,walking from the bedroom, through the living room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly, as if we came back to our wedding day. But her much lighter weight made me sad.
On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. She said, "Actually I hope you will hold me in your arms until we are old." I held her tightly and said, "Both you and I didn't notice that our life was lack of such intimacy..."
I went straight to Dew's house. I jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my decision. I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door. I said to her, "Sorry, Dew, I won't opt for the divorce. I'm serious." She looked at me, astonished. Then, she touched my forehead. "You got no fever". She said. I moved her hand off my head.
"Sorry, Dew, " I said, "I can only say sorry to you, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of life, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I finally understand that since the day that I carried her into the home and she gave birth to our child, I am supposed to hold her until I am old. So I have to say sorry to you."
Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into cry.
I walked downstairs and drove to the office. I passed a floral shop on the way. I went in and I ordered a bouquet of her favourite flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked if I wanted to write anything on greeting words on the card. I smiled and wrote, 'I will carry you out every morning until we are old."

Mini Laprotomy for Haemorrhagic Cyst

I was recently hospitalized for an emergency laprotomy due to a haemorrhagic ovarian cyst. It was like so horrible, man! Not only was it a painful experience, it was a pretty eventful one. Why would I say that it was eventful one? It is because after going through this operation, I managed to see the true colours of many close people around me...
My dear, would be the first one I would like to complement. It simply shocked me on the types of sacrifices that he made for me! He took two days off from work to stay over at the hospital to take care of me overnight. Through those two nights, I was so vulnerable and couldn't move even an inch. Therefore, I had to wake him up frequently even for the slightest thing, for example to drink water and to cover or remove the blanket. Hence, he didn't get sufficient sleep. Then, after my discharge, he stayed over at my place for three days just to make sure I was able to recover to my independent status despite knowing the fact that he would lose his precious sleep yet again. I am so touched and grateful... My dear is one guy who takes his sleep very seriously. He firmly believes that his sleep is very precious just like diamonds to a girl. I was scolded by him many times throughout this relationship because I disturbed his sleep. However, this time, he was able to sacrifice it all just for me. Not to forget, he also took leave from his 'work' to care for me. In total, he took 3 days off. It may sound little, but to me, it is sufficient to prove his love for me. He also did my wound dressings and took great care of me. All these, nitty gritty details is good enough to let me know that he does truly love me. I guess I had always doubted the amount of love he had me throughtout this relationship because he is one guy who never says 'I love you' or does romantic or obvious actions to let me know that he loves me. Well... what else can I say... I love him too! Hee!
My colleagues were all so nice to me. They gave me the V.I.P rooom of the ward. Their services were wonderful, no wonder many of them were complemented by patients. However, there was one staff that I particularly point out that was really uncompassionate... I won't say her name cause I would never know who reads this blog... All I can say is that she was really not as nice as I thought her to be. I almost wanted to write the feedback form about her but decided not to. Didn't want her to get into any trouble. If it had to be, let other patients feedback about her. (Anyway, she already had quite a few complaints by patients or their relatives.)
