I had a less tiring week this week. Think the Youth Day holiday on Monday made the week a lot shorter, and the lessons this week weren't as long and painful as the week before. I had time to go for a long run on Tuesday and a boxing and yoga class on Wednesday. So that was good. Makes the crazy dessert eating on weekends more justified.

I recently met up 2 friends who had gone through bad break ups and are having problems dealing with it. And both of them asked me the same exact question, 'How do you do it? Be happy all the time, and be ok with the break up.' And my answer to one who just broke up:

 'You cry like a river, and then surround yourself with people who genuinely love and care for you. You tell yourself it's ok to falter, but make sure you bounce back from the bout of sadness. Think of what you have rather than what you do not have, and realise that it is just not your time. Most importantly, to remember the positives of the relationship rather than just the bad, as it will make you a really bitter person if you only harp on the negatives.'

And to my other friend who have had the break up for a few years, my answer to her was:

' To let go completely and do not look back. To forgive and be genuinely happy as nothing is more tiring than fake happiness. To be satisfied and happy with the simplest of things. And most importany, to never lose your friends when you are in a relationship and never lose yourself and your identity. Cos guys do not want clingy, needy girls with no spines. They want girls with character and confidence.'

I have always believed genuine happiness radiates from within, and when you are happy, people naturally gravitate towards you. I have been lucky as I am a naturally happy person, and have always been one to be positive about everything. I get excited by almost everything (be it small or big), and I love life. And despite the many downs in my life, I have always managed to bounce back stronger and happier. Cos it's a choice that I make. And I'm happy that I can be a source of happiness for many people. :) Share the happiness around, I always say. :)

And this weekend, I made myself really happy cos I went to watch the movie 'Eclipse' and it was so bloody good. Watched it at the Grand Cathay and the seats were so comfy! And the movie...did no disappoint. Im in 2 minds on whether Im on team Edward or Team Jacob. When I see Edward with Bella, I swoon and I so want to marry him! And then Jacob comes on the screen, and I start salivating over him. He is hot, I swear. LOL!!!! Me and Angela kept taking in deep breaths whenever Jacob and his wolf pack comes on the screen. And it helps that they are topless perpetually all the time in the movie. So that was a yay thing! LOL!!
We went to a bar cum restaurant at the Esplanade after the movie to grab some food and drinks.  Had calamari, brownie with ice cream and a virgin magarita. And the night ended with me getting the number of the Moroccan chef from the restaurant! Hahahahahahaha.....He came over, chatted with us, and passed his number. Very flattering. :) And no, I did not call him up. Just nice to know we are still attractive to the opposite sex. Yay!

Im going to spend the rest of my weekend doing nothing. Maybe do my nails. Maybe I will go to the gym. Maybe eat ice cream....Dont know, we'll see.

In the meantime, remain happy cos life is not meant to be a drag. :)
