Curly Hair Babies

Last night Chris and me were discussing about babies. To me, babies of any kind are cute to me. Simple reason, they are babies! Babies are suppose to be cute. Straight Hair or Curly Hair, Brown Eyes or Blue, Dark Skin or Fair Skin, I love them all.

But to Chris, She hates curly hair babies of which I cannot understand. She thinks curly hair babies are really not cute and just a total turn off. The funny part is, she is adamant to re-bond her baby hair if it turn out to be curly!! I cannot stop laughing at her critics about babies or kids with curly hair. Its funny but yet I think that too critical.

Good gracious!! Crazy Mummy and poor child! I'd thought of blogging about this because I wonder... If appearance is so important to a mother what's more to the public? So yes, appearance is indeed important but we can beautify ourselves to the way we want to when we grow up. To re-bond or live with the natural curls!

Anyway, I decide to compare between curly and straight hair babies. Now, check this... curly hair babies are indeed cuter... at least I feel! :)

Super Straight Hair..

Straight & Black - Cutie!

Straight & Blondie! Sweet!

But now check the curly ones........................................... I think they are just awesome and so special!!!!

Alittle messy.. this one. But with a little combing.. still cute! :)

This is totally a wake up hairdo! Cute to the max!

Now check this last one... Angel!

Just a very random post to compare babies with straight or curly hair. To me .... as long as they are babies, they are an angel! :D

P.S. Nothing to PS about!!

Love Strucked!

Its been 4 weeks, yes only 4 weeks since the last we part and really it feels like 4 years!! Everyday past by and I would feel lost, sometimes I even feel like I have lose him because I don't feel him anymore. Time difference did't help because by the time he finishes work... its time I sleep. So you can imagine, we only text on BBM or Whatsapp when he has a breather from work. I don't wanna see him next and feel like a total stranger! Its so hard.... so depressing... until when we start doing video-conferencing on Skype!

Suddenly I appreciate skype being invented. Its totally Free and you can see each other.. Will there ever be a time when you can reach out your hands and start touching each other? Sounds awesome won't it? But to think of it... it also feels like you are visiting someone in jail or something. This is not good! I don't really know what I am rambling about but I do know that I just skype with the love of my life for the 5 time since last week and am feeling really good!

Even seeing him on video feels good. Its strange because you feel like you are reunited once again! It's amazing how two grown up adults can behave like love-strucked teenagers unknowingly especially when you become depesrate to be with each other.

Nothing changed.... each time I sees him or hear him... or even see his bbm message on my blackberry... I fall in love once again!

We both realise not being together is not the life we wanted, we both know we need to live our lives together really soon. And maybe.... I might be the one living in Holland since now I have already got a job offer! Its a big step I know but we are both desperate!

Can't wait for the romantic 5 weeks together again!

P.S. Sorry I am not as patience as you are! X

My New Friends with the same fate as me!

Just returned from the clinic with an official medical certificate. Yes! I am unfit for work today! I just swallowed the awful medication and waiting to knock out... I decide I should do abit of blogging of what's currently on my mind.

I've been thinking alot about the new friends that I recently met through the dutch language course that I have been attending. There is more than 5 of such friends with the same fate but I have gotten specifically closer to 5 of them. Its sets me thinking about how their long distances relationship works when they meet their partner less than two time in less than a year and a half and what's more .... one of them is even married to her dutch hubby after just 2 meetings. I cannot believe and surely cannot comprehend. All I could agree is love moves any mountain so I guess theirs must be love. I am just going to go through how each of them met and fall in love with their partners:

Lady I - A pretty dark skin turkish lady met her dutch husband during her holiday in Japan in a hotel lobby. And their love life blossom from there. Long distance for a year and a half and got married. Now happily married, living in a rented (SGD8k per month) apartment in the heart of Orchard Road. Lady I isnt working... she is not required to work.

(I've met with Lady I's husband and find him a really nice guy who love Asia so much he hates Holland. Strange! Because I love Holland, I can imagine myself living in Holland.)

Lady J - A plump & cute Singaporean lady who met her dutch boyfriend over a online gaming experience. And finally met in Holland when Lady J decides to visit Europe for holiday. Her first trip to Holland and they fell in love. Together for 3 weeks and Lady J left the country. Both continue to stay in touch and in love. Her dutch boyfriend just visited Singapore in April for 3 weeks. And that was it..... met twice, 3 weeks each time and lasted 1.5 years!

Lady XY - A skinny with super curly short hair Singaporean lady who also met her Dutch Husband over an internet chat room. Met twice over 1.5 years for 6 months and now married, waiting to be back in Holland with her man. Lady XY is only 22 which her dutch husband is 25!

Lady K - A short & Studios Singaporean Lady who met her dutch boyfriend online jsut 2 months ago and fell in love online. Till date, have not met. keep their relationship going via online web cam and chat. She is 23!

Lady OL - A skinny & Tall Singaporean lady. Married with a dutch man now with a daugther! Bliss..!

Having my mind full of my new found friends, I keep wondering how so can a LDR like theirs works. Because even with mine, I seen Jos every 2 months but even then I find it so hard to maintain. Sometimes I only wish I have more faith or is it because I am just too realistic?

Whatever it is... I'll hang on and maybe one day I will see light!

Falling in Love with the same person over again!

I fall in love many times. So many times... "so I thought" but always with a different guy. And so what is love? If you think you just fall in love, think again. In my context, I think love is falling in love with the same person over and over again and yet still feels the same. Refreshing and Nice.



I never had this feeling before but I just recently felt so strongly about this phrase of falling in love with the same person over and over again and the feeling does not differs. There is a point of time in any relationship whether you are married or just dating where things just became mundane and instead of trying to give sweet surprises to each other, both just take it for granted that your partner will be there. And yes, every relationship has the same phase. Mine too.



I felt it so strongly that mine relationship has come to a stand still and was becoming really depressed because I don't want it to be. I don't want the love I share with Jos to come to a stand still. Not all believe in happily ever after, and maybe there is no happily ever after but I am still hoping it will be for me and Jos.


So, I gave a surprise call to Jos early his morning yesterday to just wake him up and hear his voice because I am crazily missing him! He receive my call with so much passion. I cannot explain this in words but I know at that point... I just fall in love with him once again. Its an amazing feeling when I start blushing, smiling to myself the whole time for the rest of the day. This is love, falling in love again. We have been together since Dec 2009... and still the same feeling of gushing passion... I think its unbelievable!


You just know you fall in love when:


- The feeling love remains strong

- The skipping of a heartbeat phase is still there

- The blushing of the face the moment you thought about him.

- The things you do with him some months back still bring a smile on your face.

- The fight you have brings all the regrets.

- And you just wanna be holding him tight right now and never let him go.


And imagine having the above feeling over and over again with the same guy! Total bliss I think!


I love this post because it opens my thoughts and I find this so so true!




P.S. Till death do us part... but not so soon please! :D

I am back from Dordrecht!

Was back in the Netherlands for a 10 days visit to the love of my life and also spend some time with my sister who decide to meet me in Amsterdam for a short while.

Sis & Me - Holland & Its Charm!

Its been really good to be able to hang out with my sister after not seeing her for almost 6 months. Gosh... I am already missing her. This trip to Holland actually allows me to be alot more independent and see alot more things than those other visit I had. I was force to be in Amsterdam town because my sister lives in the hotel in Amsterdam near the Schipol Airport. So for 3 days, I travelled by train from Dordrecht to Amsterdam Town and its slighting more than 1 hour! which to me is kinda a very good experience. Train rides are really quite fun but painfully expensive! EUR32.00 for a return ticket which is equivalent to SGD64.00 to and fro! God damn expensive la.

Jess Loves Train Rides!

After just two rides on the train... I became alot more confident and even went on trams rides. Sis said to hire a taxi and before she knows it, I was holding her hand hopping on to a tram! EUR5.20 for both of us for a 10mins ride on a taxi which would cost us EUR15 per ride. So we save some Euros there! I am so brilliant! haha

Jess Loves Tram Rides... Save me Euros! :)

So yes, I have lotsa adventures on my own without Jos' protection. Although on some days he travel from Rotterdam to Amsterdam just to pick me up from my little adventure but that didn't stop me from feeling good about being able to return home safe on days I was left to return to Dordrecht on my own. I am quite proud of myself because I am quite a scardy cat!

Besides my little adventures on train and trams rides, my sister and I did many things together and on one day with Jos as a tour guide. We visited Volendam which is a town in North Holland. Its an old fishing village that is now turn to a tourist spots with souvenirs shops and some pub restaurants aeatery to hang out. Really nice place to be. Check out the pictures, you will agree its beauty!

Next we went to Zaanse Schans a beautiful place with lotsa of windmills. This time of the year is the best time to visit Holland because of its awesome weather and flowers everywhere!

We have also visited loads of other places like the Scherving in Den Haag and the Rijks and Van Gogh museum. Totally awesome which I will eleaborate more in my next post.

P.S. Next Stop.... Italy and France! Hearts!!!

Summer Holiday - Itinery Planning 1 (Verona, Italy) - PART 1

I was not thinking much about the summer holiday Jos had planned for us which will happen sometime in July. I wasn't thinking about it at all, I wasn't excited about it also, and wasn't looking forward to it. I was just thinking of Jos all these time not being with him and that alone can sometimes bring alot of negative thoughts. So my love the well-known GMJ gave me a good lecturing sometime early this week. He asked if I was even looking forward to our July holiday? He asked if I have googled on what we were going to do in the cities we planned to visit? To be honest, I didn't even know at that point I was visiting Verona, Venice, Rome & Florence in Italy! Until he reveal to me and send me links on these places we were intending to visit. And then flashes back of what I know about Italy came back into my mind. I remember watching Letters to Juliet and the cast was based on Verona! I wanna visit Juliet's Balcony! I wanna go Verona! This is the place where Romeo & Juliet exist! (Of course.. its only a myth!)

So with that great lecture... I've been googling over the past few days only on Verona and what I hope to see and I realise 3 weeks might not be enough ! Italy is such a romantic place, be it day or night. Let me now go through the places that I've so far googled and the information I gotten on hand.

Ponte Scaligero, Verona Italy.

Ponte Scaligero, Verona Italy

And at Night! Its even more Lovely!


This is probably one of the most photographed bridges in Verona, but unfortunately it is not authentic. The original one was blown up by the Germans during the last World War, and it was reconstructed in the 1950s. It consists of a strong brick structure with three arches of decreasing width, resting on crenelated towers. The date of construction is unclear, but it was probably built between 1375 and 1376. The bridge formed part of the complicated defense structure for the Castelvecchio, and linked the city with the road leading to the Tyrol.

Romeo! Romeo! Wherefore art thou? Romeo?

Juliet's Balcony

Love Notes from Tourist

This is like a dream cruelly crashed for me when I read more on the review of Juliet's Balcony. It is not as romantic as what it's potrait in the movie - Letter's to Juliet. Apparently. it was said that if you would like to see a pleasant old building then visit this 13th century house in Verona Italy but if you want to see the balcony of Romeo and Juliet then Verona is not the place.

The balcony in Shakespeare’s play doesn’t exist and anyway Shakespeare’s stage instructions called for a window scene and not, as commonly believed, a balcony scene. Verona Italy has so many wonderful architectural attractions that this should be way down the sightseeing list. This is not the most beautiful balcony in the world by any stretch of the imagination – for an idea of just how ugly it is take a look at the photo below. It was also mentioned that this is a tourist trap. The house has nothing to do with the fictional characters in Shakespeare’s play and, from what I understand, the balcony was only added in the 1930s.

So yes.... maybe the Juliet's Balcony will be push to the last if we have time to visit.

Next.... Torre Del Lamberti!

In the middle of Piazza Erbe, on the corner towards la Costa, stands the slim Tower of the City, or Lamberti Tower. Apparently construction of the tower began in 1172. In May 1403 lightening struck the tower and knocked off its top. Some time later, it was decided to restore and raise the tower higher. The restoration lasted from 1448 to 1463-1464.

Two bells were placed on the tower, the smallest of which was to signal fires and the largest of which was to call a meeting of the city council and to call the citizens to arms to defend the city. The two bells have been fused several times, and still Conserve their ancient names of Marangona and Rengo. The tower is 84 meters high; the clock was added only in 1779. It has been said that the tower “is a stem of light, that elevates its solemnity to assert the most shrill of songs to the beauty and life of a Verona gathered beneath its maternal protection.

OK I shall end this part of Verona for now... as I am now rushing out for dinner. Will be back with a loads more! Be right back!

P.S. 12 more days to my love! Miss u !! xx

Conversation Starters

I was walking around Tampines Mall and went into this shop - Kikki.K

The exterior of the shop just draws my attention and I decide to walk in. They sells stationary and unique gifts of scandinavian design. Hmmm... but I kinda find their pricing abit off since we are talking about stationary here, we do not wanna pay 100% more when we are really buying a mechanical pencil of which they are selling almost SGD10.00 where we can easily get SGD4.00 from Popular Bookstore. So yes... its pricey. But then, unless its a something special or something that is not commonly found, we may wanna pay alittle more since we may not get it elsewhere. So.... I came across this little red box that says : LOVE CONVERSATION STARTER. And yes, I bought it... it cost me SGD19.00 but I really find it quite interesting and maybe useful for awkward situation when both are drained and cannot think of anything else to talk about.



Maybe some people may deny the fact that they have nothing to talk about with their partners. They may even claim that their love life with their partner are always interesting, things to do, talk about everything under the sun.... i'm in love with my bestfriend etc etc. But the truth fact is, we are all human beings and human beings gets drained and even with your best friend sometimes we are just lost of words and then silence is the best cure. Enjoying each other's company and not saying a word! that's bliss I think... that is nice.

But here I just bougth a Conversation starter! Not that I have nothing to talk to Jos about, but I just find this really interesting because, some questions are just not what you would ask or even think about! It just kick a conversation and gets to know each other better

A few example of the question normally asked... What I wouldn't leave the house without, the golden rule of flirting etc... its interesting really some of the question and I particularly like these few:

Q: The first thing I would purchase if I won the lottery
A: An Air-ticket to Amsterdam! hahaha so lame! yes that's all I ever wished for!

Q: My advice to a friend that wants to find love is......
A: Fuck I don't know because it just happen! Love comes to you... you don't find love! Agree?

Q: I love the smell of.....
A: Jos in the morning! :D

So yes... interesting isnt it? I mean some question could be lame but we can laugh it off! I am so going to try this and will update when I did!

P.S. 12 Days to Avril and 15 days to U! Hearts!!!
