More things learnt from the book

Love is Always With Me
For me, I feel it's not easy for two person in love and being together. Sometimes although two people love each other very much but many reasons can tear them apart. I consider myself in love and very lucky to find someone who willing to walk this journey with me..this guy is the love of my life.
We broke up before but we noticed that it's not worth it to just let go of someone who loves us with all our heart, over some silly reasons...Finding someone who loves u as u are is not easy, found already y let go??
Just now I read one girl's blog. I got no idea who is she but she said she reali loves her bf. I read her blog eventually reflected on myself. I used to write all those lovey dovey post in my blog too. Erm..yea now still write la but not so frequent anymore. ^_^
Love is like seasons in the year. There are spring, summer, autumn and winter. When we first in love, we are in spring where to us, our lover is perfect and the love is blooming and growing..Then, soon we noticed that our partner is not as perfect as what we think, the relationship turns hot where arguements happen. During summer, we need to put in effort to make sure the plants turn out well, by adding water and fertilizer. Same goes to relationship. If arguements not being handled well and no effort put in to make the relationship work, then the relationship wil dies...When we move to autumn, the relationship turns to more stable type or it might end up just like that if not taken care during summer. For winter, hibernation occurs where by both couple trust each other well and spend more time for themselves, doing things they like...
I already went through all these stages with my bf and now, I feel like I'm back to spring whereby we discover much more each other. We are learning what read from the book 'Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus'. Seriously, now that I know how to deal with his 'in cave' mood, and support him, he eventually returns the attention and reassurance that I want from him. He begins to appreciate my support and tolerance. He thanked me for being with him...[Being in the sense that I tell him that I'm always there if he need me]. Be reminded that man dun reali need women to tell them how she can help him, but rather just be supportive with whatever decision they make, and purely just be there if he needs u. There is no need to bug him to ask him tell u how he feels. [He will tell if he wants to]
Seriously, this reali works...Just 2 days back my bf went into cave and he told me he wasn't feelin happy..And I just let him be alone saying if he need me, I'll be there in anyway which I can offer. And he simply said TQ. Shortly after few days, he told me he's feeling better because I'm by his side [although physically I'm not].
Those people whom always say sorry for hurting their partner, I feel if they know how their partner is reali like, u will neve hurt them anymore..Read that book...It helps me a lot..At least I know why he acts so crazily once awhile, ignoring me, avoiding me, saying not my problem but as if it is...in the end hurts me too much...but now...no more...We're getting closer each day because we know how different we are and not to change each other...!!
It's not tough to achieve this..if you and ur love want to do it!

Getting to apply things learnt from a book
Take for example, I learnt about something called 'Retreat into the Cave' for Men(M), and 'Wave' for Women(W).
Briefly, when M retreat into their 'caves', it means that they want to be alone to sort out some solutions for their problems, which not necessary related to the W. Even though they might not reali look for a solution, they just wan to drag off their mind for a while till fresh again to deal with their problems later. As W's naturally talks to solve their problems, they might find it difficult to accept having their partner retreat and 'back-off' from them. This draw the W closer and chase after the M, going after their problems, asking them to tell how they feel, when the M wish to be alone that time. The worse thing is that, the W will feel that they did something wrong which cause their M to avoid them [which from the beginning it does not hav anything to do with the W]. The W will feel hurt, their feelings not being cared by the M, felt sorry for them and start blaming themselves for the M's retreat from them. This is a natural cycle that happens to most M, and when W try to chase after M, or wait for M to come out from their caves, W will eventually break the M's natural cycle, making M more stress and not normal. Thus, W should do something happy to avoid themselves from too pushing their M out from their caves, or making M more stressed. When M retreat, just feel free and let them be alone, until they are fine, they will eventually come bck and offer the love and attention you need. For W, try to und this cycle of men, and its just so natural for them, its just like W being emotional during period! ^^. Try to be understanding. Tell ur M that u'll always be there if they need you, and dun chase them for the reason for distress. [Coz they might not even know y]. If you understand this, you will not hav any problem with men!
The 'wave' happens to W. W naturally offers love and care to ppl they love and care. And they expect M to b the same, offering love to them without being asked. But the truth is, M wil only offer something which is being asked. [So dun expect ur M to know what you want]. 'Wave' is a cycle happens to W too. When then wave rises, it represents a W's love is rising and she can gives all love and care she has to ppl, but then when their loves reaches the max, it will go down and crash like the waves. That time, their mood and emotion will drop so low that they need loves and attention to rise their love level back. At this time all W want is to talk about their feelings and need good listener, to support and understand, n sympathize with them without offering solutions [M naturally try to solves problem]. However, M feels W are the same like them, like to be alone and leave them aside when W needed them most.
The thing that most couples find not common and depressing is things like, 'You dun understand my feelings', 'You gives me too much stress', 'Can't you just be happy?', 'I dun feel you around even if you're here'...and etc. [I myself used these so much]. This because we treat our partner like treating ourselves. We want them to love us like how we love ourselves. Now, we use back the cases that we see up there:
For M:
When they are into their caves, they wish to be alone and not to be asked or giv solutions by W. M will feel as if useless in dealing with their problems. When in caves, W chase after M to talk to them, to know how they feel and offers solution to M, as W themselves talk when they are not happy, so they expect their M to be the same. Thus, creating stress and problems of misunderstanding btwn them
For W:
When they are down during crash of their mood waves, they need to fill up with love and concern from their M, and need attentions. But M thought W are like them, when moody W wanted to b alone as well, but which is not. So, W will think their M not understanding of their feelings and turn more depressed. Thus, making both moody and unhappy with each other.
Conclusion, understanding characteristics of M and W, u will know what they want and what you can do. I am now facing the same problem, where my love is in cave now, and I dun chase him asking him what happen, coz if he wanna tell, he will tell me eventually. So how not to worry or chase him over this??? I drag myself from thinking, by writing this post now. Haha..I hope he feels better
Baby, if u're reading this..I wan u know I'm always there if u need me!

Bamboo charcoal
No doubt my pimples are getting more and I'm desperate for proper solution. The promoter suggested me to try out their bamboo charcoal cleanser as she strongly stressed that natural ingredients are better than chemical cleanser. Well I wanted to get my skin problem away so I take the risk and bought the cleanser. Here are what the promoter told me for beauty secrets:
- Do not pick on the pimples coz our finger tips are extremely dirty
- Upon using this cleanser, there might b chances where more pimples will appear as the active ingredients cleanse deep into the our skin to force all the toxins and pimples out. So do not pick on the zits, just keep washing
- Use 2 to 3 times daily and keep your face clean using clean towel
I've used for 2 days plus and amazingly, those big big pimples are reducing, but of coz there are pimples popping out too..I just hope what the girl said is true...after 1 week will b much better!
Lemon Chicken Recipe

- Chicken meat / parts
- Oyster sauce *
- Salt *
- Sugar *
- Fried chicken flour
- Corn flour
- Lemon zest [juice: filter from the pulp and seeds, roungly one lemon for 1 chicken]
- Asam sauce

Cooking methods:
- First like usual, marinade your chicken parts with appropriate oyster sauce, sugar and salt for 30 minutes at least. Set aside
- Then heat up enough oil in the wok and when it is hot, fry the chicken that has been covered with fried chicken flour or corn flour, until it is golden brown

- Then add in the lemon juice slowly. Do not pour all as we afraid it might be too sour. Once the 'lemon soury taste' reach ur expectations, then u can add some sugar to taste. You can even use the lemon skin [without pulp] to create stronger lemon taste in your sauce
- To thicken the sauce, use the corn stock made from corn flour and water. While adding bit by bit, constantly stirring the liquid till it's thickened!
- Lastly, you can either mix the sauce with the chicken straight away, or you can simply pour on top of the chicken b4 serving!
Happy trying :)

Chicken recipe!
- Chicken parts *
- Oyster sauce *
- Sugar *
- Salt *
- Fried chicken flour/corn flour
- Salted duck eggs (yolk only) [3-4 for 1 whole chicken]
- Curry leaves (few stalks)
- Evaporated milk
- Oil
- Butter or margerine
* are to marinade the chicken
Methods??
I'm sure most people will dare not try this recipe for health purpose. Salted egg yolk high in cholesterol. But you can still enjoy this recipe the healthier way : eg. Remove all the skin and solid and visible fat from the chicken, or simply just use chicken breast meat. You can also use less egg yolk if you want
- First marinade the chicken with above ingredients for 30 minutes, at least.
- Once ready, coat the chicken with fried chicken flour or corn flour. In the mean time, steam the salted egg yolks till cooked. Once it is done, mash it with fork and set aside
- Heat up oil in your wok and when it's heated, deep fry the chicken parts till golden brown and drain from excess oil
- After all chicken parts are fried, heat up your work with some oil, roughly about 2 table spoon, or you can use butter or margerine for better taste. The amount of fat and oil is various among individuals
- Then, add in the mashed salted egg yolks and stir well till the fragrant is up
- Add in curry leaves and mix. After some time, slowly add in the evaporated milk. Keep stirring to make the liquid dries up faster. Add in more milk if it's too dry.
- Be reminded that the milk with salted egg yolk should not be too thick or too watery before adding the chicken
- Remember to add some sugar and salt to taste.
- Finally add in the fried chicken and keep stirring till the milk dries up. You're done!
Next recipe??? Guess yourself!

p/s: Ain't no other but you baby
I *heart* you
