Random thoughts....

After 12 long years of living overseas, I've finally able to attend a funeral service of a former work colleague. It was very different from the funeral services I had attended in my home country. One thing I was able to confirm, the casket here in abroad really has no glass! All the while I thought this kind of thing is only for movies.

But this isn't really what I want to write. As you see, today I realized that even though a couple decided to go on their separate lives, as long as there is a child that binds them, you are still a couple no matter what. Being a very observant person, I immediately noticed who's my office mate first wife and his current partner. I saw the pain and the grief in the first wife's eyes but nothing from his current partner. Yes, after the service, I saw the current partner cried but she's not that affected as the first wife. Maybe because they do not have a child unlike the first wife, who gave him a beautiful daughter.

Ah, love...so hard to comprehend...it's so easy to say you don't love the person anymore...but in the end actions speak louder than words...

Another favorite author of mine...

I love books...the genre doesn't really matter to me...as long as it will keep me occupied and entertained...from Bobbsey Twins and Hardy Boys to Sweet Dreams series...Sydney Sheldon to Mary Higgins Clark...Amy Tan to Cecelia Ahern...and to add to my list is Melissa Hill.

The first book I read by Melissa Hill was the Wishful Thinking. The title intrigued me, hence I decided to buy the book. At first, I thought that it's just one of those love story book, but it's not. It's full of surprises, from beginning to end. One thing that stands the most is, you will never be able to guess the ending. You need to read the book chapter by chapter, and the ending will indeed leave a smile on your face :)

Why ruin the things that we have by driving ourselves crazy on what we do not have....
