A Life in Black and White

am not your usual lady in the neighbourhood. i could be fun-loving and ambitions blazing, yet chilling with a good book in hand. loves audrey hepburn movies, lemon-lime-&-bitters, vintage anything and furniture. am not one effortlessly impressed. i see my goals, my dreams and the enjoyment would lie not merely in the success at the end of the road but in this journey of life. livin` it, lovin` it, keepin` it real. i travel alone, i travel light, in my 20`s - la vie est belle!

Over and over again.

Dearest JD,

Work wise, all I can say is chin up! This is only temporary. And there's only a couple more weeks at IB. Hang tight.

I recently had a discussion with one of my close friends on the topic of finding Mr. Right. And I think she made a very good point - i.e. We have to live with the fact that there would always be a better or lesser person out there in this world. And sometimes this better person comes along after we get married. The question actually lies within ourselves as to whether we want to commit with the person we've chosen and work towards long-term goals. Probably that is the essence of a relationship....it's like a partnership. And once you get married, there isn't an "OUT" because the exchange of vows is also a promise to each other to stop looking - so it cuts out other possibilities of finding the 'better' person.

I think I'm also a hopeless romantic. But the rational side of me also tells me that passion and romance actually wanes over time. So we should choose someone whom we are compatible with for other reasons than love.

Personally, I think you can never forget XX...the feelings for him would fade over time but the memories would forever remain - even after you find Mr. Right. Anyway, I will e-mail again soon....maybe we should have a good chat sometime soon. Almost 5 and everyone's leaving work already.

Take care, M
