A busy weekend of being a rock star, a contestant in an amazing race and being in someone else's shoes

My weekend seem to be getting better and better as time passes by :)

Well someone had to be on standby last weekend and I was kicking up a bit of a fuss when he told me that he had to stay in the office overnight.

Me: why do you have to sleep the office? Isn't it better to go home and rest..
Him: Actually staying in the office to play PS3 with my colleagues..
Me: What!! you crazy..work whole day still not tired ah..
Him: Need to relieve stress lah..Can you try put yourself in my shoes sometimes?
Me: Cannot your shoes too big ;P
Him: hehe very funny..I'm not kidding you know..since you always complain, why don't you come over to the office and see for yourself and on sunday, you can come along when I'm doing servicing
Me: Is that a challenge? Ok i accept :P but ur colleagues dun mind I come meh
Him: No, they dun mind..they need a singer.
Me: huh??

It turn out to be that I was recruited to be a lead singer for a band called "Solidsnake"[Lame, I Know :)]. Bassist: Peter. Drums: Kee. Lead Guitar: Darren..And the showstopper on lead vocal: ME hehe :P

I can't imagine jamming(virtually of course) in the middle of the night[at 2am actually and we played till morning hehe]. When I first start playing, I sucked really bad..Singing in a rock band is not that easy after all hehe..and I keep bringing my band stars down..But as we played and (with the guys encouragement and tips) I got the hang of it, we started to have fun.

Then came the song that made us all feel like real rock stars.."Living on a prayer" by Bon Jovi..I am a closet Bon Jovi fan so when this song came along[I was like Hell yeah, Time to rock it out :P] and it was like everything had come together perfectly...The feeling was really like being in the rock back and DARREN was perfect on the guitar solo..We played this song repeatedly cause it feel really good and it became our favourite song.

So that's how I became a rock star for a day.[or should I say night]



Anyways on Sunday, I came along with him to do his servicing and it was like being in the amazing race but Singapore version. So basically this is what happened, he get a call,if possible he'll try to solve the problem over the phone. If not, then we'll go to that place, did some troubleshooting and try to resolve the issue. We went to so many places on Sunday that I lost count..And it is like the amazing race cause we get to the place, fix the problem and go to our next destination and all the troubleshooting had to be done within 2 hrs.[Get it? In the amazing race, the contestants have to get their destination, do the challenge, get their clue and move on to the next destination.] We didn't even have time to have a proper meal cause the calls were coming fast and furious :) We only get to finish the servicing at around 10pm and by then I was totally shagged. But he was still working on one of his customer hard disk trying to resolve a virus issue.

It is amazing how much you'll learn about a person when you are able to put yourself in their shoes..What I've learnt is that he works hard but plays even harder...He does flirt when he's out there doing servicing[Did I get jealous?of coz but just a tiny bit cause I know its just harmless and well I already have a place in his heart so there's not need to be worried].

I managed to be a rock star and a contestant in an amazing race for just being in someone else's shoes specifically his shoes..and I find that's truly and opener and glad I had a chance to do it..But it'll be perfect if only I can find a way to fit him in my shoes ...hehe :P

P/S: Something awful happened to my sis last friday but not sure if I should blog about it cause it's something that happened to her not me but thank god, she didn't get hurt..But just one thing to say: Girls please take percaution when coming back home at night and always be aware of ur surroundings. If you feel uneasy, call someone to take you home.

Falling in love..Now that's a scary thought...

I've always been scared of falling in love..To me, it is one of the scariest things in the world..Most of the time I try to convince myself that I'm not in love..Cause just the words "Falling in love" is scary..Have you ever wonder why its called falling in love? Its because when u r in love, its just like falling from certain height..U have no control over it and just have to go with the flow and hope that you land somewhere soft and cuddly or have yourself land on the hard concrete and break into million pieces just like Humpty Dumpty hehe..Maybe you'll say that I'm just a control freak. Well maybe that's true, I do love to be in control and really hate it when things don't go my way :P.. Well yeah I'm a brat so sue me :P

So why is it now me being a falling-in-love-phobic is posting all this lovey dovey crap lately hehe :P
The reason is cause I can't help it..all these sugary side-effects of falling in love is turning my brain into mush and I'm clearly not myself.I've turned totally like one of those chicks in a romantic comedy.[Obviously someone who I don't inspire to be] Having dopey smiles on my face without a reason..Getting positively giddy and looking forward to the weekend..Thinking of what to wear when meeting him..and getting all upset when he says he's too busy to talk..Somebody kill me now why am I behaving this way..this is so not me..All I can blame on is that I am experiencing all these horrible side-effects that you'll get when you are falling in love..


I keep waiting for the bubble that I'm floating in lately to burst and crash land me into the hard concrete floor..But it doesn't seem to be happening in fact everytime I think its going to burst..He'll do something to make my bubble soar even higher..Yes, I'm talking in metaphor..please don't take everything I wrote literally cause you'll never figure it out..[See, I'm turning into a b*tch too OMG].

To summarise this post, what I'm trying to say is I'm absolutely scared and possibly going to freak out soon..wondering what's going to happen next cause I almost could smell in the air that something big is about to happen..Maybe its sixth sense..Yup sorry to disappoint but I don't see dead people :P Maybe I should just chill and take a deep breath..Yeah..I think its working cause I just managed stop hyperventilating..

So delaila here signing off
Roger and out

4 little details men notice about women

Read an interesting article online recently. So just to summarise it..These are the little details men notice about women

1) Hands
Reason: Beautiful hands can portray daintiness and strength at the same time. imagination will go on overdrive on what it's like to hold them.

2) Hair
Reason: Hair can do simple actions that can evoke powerful emotions.
When a gust of wind blew right down the street and ran through her hair, an indescribable motion that took place in her hair was beautiful.

3) Attitude towards others
Reason: A person with a beautiful personality treats everyone nicely and respectfully. It's fun to be out with a girl and watch her make people smile from afar. It makes me feel proud and lucky that I'm with her. It's already an amazing thing when I meet a girl that can brighten my days. But if this girl brightens everyone's days, then I'm even luckier.

4) What Does She Notice?
You can learn a lot about a person just by the details they notice in life and moments. It is a fun adventure going out with someone who can laugh at and notice little things, and who always brings new insights to different situations.

So guys do you agree?What other little things that you notice abt a girl?

Another magical weekend :)

I truly does not know what is going on lately and what's in the air these days..But I had an amazing Saturday..Yet again a day seem to be ordinary turn out to be totally different..I can't explain why this is happening and it is somewhat confusing to me..[But in a good way of course]

There's no words that could describe what I feel that day so I'm just going to say it with music ;)

Enjoy :)

"Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can
be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real
or just another crush?"

When a smile meant and worth more than a thousand compliments..

When a smile meant and is worth more than a thousand compliments..Yes, that is how I felt on Sunday, supposedly to be an ordinary day but ending up to be one of the special days that I'll remember for a very long time...

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, there he was smiling at me as if I'm the most beautiful girl he had ever seen and he's glad that I'm with him(I don't know if it was my imagination but that was the feeling I got from that one simple smile). I got into his van and the 1st words he said was "You look so pretty today" and then looked away blushing as if he just realised that he had said those words aloud. And me still feeling the powerful blast of shock and joy from that one smile and those words stupidly said "Huh? where got?"[Yup silly Delaila at work again, maybe i'm juz being a little confused at what is going on then hehe]. So there it was the most perfect start to that special Sunday.

We had went out that day with the intention of me shopping around for my company D & D dress. I knew it's going to be a long day of going into different shops and trying many, many clothes and I know how much he hated shopping so I was prepared for a day of his complaining and me being annoyed at his complaints. But surprisingly, the absolute opposite happened. Each time I ask him how the dress looked on me, he would really look at me and answer instead of the usual "you look ok lah..just buy the dress and go". The shopping experience became more fun cause I did not feel the guilt and annoyance that I normally feel when I'm out shopping with him and with him involved in the shopping, I think I tried more clothes that I intended to cause he keeps giving me clothes to try. This is the 1st time I had so much fun shopping with him. Actually he told me that he is quite disappointed that I did not buy the dress of his choice which does not look like a 60's dress at all[the theme for my D & D].His choice of dress make me look more like a japanese doll[a top with a super short ballerina-like skirt]. I jokingly told him that the purpose of this shopping is to find a 60's style dress for my D & D not to find the dress of his fantasy hehe...He smiled and replied but it is not wrong to dream right and you look so cute in that dress. He even offered to buy that dress for me[which is again another 1st] but I declined as at time I was feeling really weird cause he's behaving totally out of character. I finally found the dress that I liked and it does resembled a 60's dress so I bought it.

After the shopping, we decided to buy a drink and sit somewhere to talk. We end up sitting at the cinema where they are showing the movies trailers and we had an interesting talk about James Bond ;)[Can't get into details here cause it will be way too long for this post]

After finishing our drink, I had to go to the restroom and when I came out of the restroom. He gave me a bag and told me that its for me[again he is behaving totally out of character, he have never bought me anything except on special occasion like aniversary or birthdays].

Stupidly again I asked:

Me: "What's this?"
Him: "Something for you"
Me: "Huh?What for?"
Him: "hmm I thought of you when I saw it so I decided to buy it for you"

Guess what he bought for me? A mug that have these words written on it "I'm not stubborn. My way is just better".[This is the argument that I'll always use when he tells me that I'm being stubborn]

Him: "So you like it?"
Me: "I don't know..ok lah"[Oh my god how stupid can I be]
Him(looking disappointed): "Oh okay"
Him:"Come let me carry your things"
Me:"Huh?"[I'm so shocked that I just let him carry my things and follow him with a dopey smile on my face. I can tell you truthfully that throughout my relationship with him, he had never ever offered to carry my things.]

He convinced me to watch a movie which I was relucted to watch but it actually turned out to be a good movie. And after the movie, as usual we had dinner and talked about the movie.[Which part I/he liked the best and have much impact on us etc..]

It was only when I had reached home, it started to sink in that something special had happened. That my ordinary sunday had turned extra-ordinary and that it is possible to fall for someone all over again.

And Guess what? I'm going to have this dopey smile on my face for this whole week and even longer I think even though its the 1st week of the month[My busiest time at work] cause nothing can beat the joy that I'm feeling right now. Just PURE BLISS :D



P/S: Sorry for the super long post and lots of details that might not interest you but I just felt I need to capture the feelings that I felt and have it written down so that I could read it again and again and feel like it happened just yesterday ;)
