Out of the things that happened yesterday, 1 person was the common of both events. Queenie (Tang) shared about 3.5hrs of her time inclusive of lunch and dinner to shed a lot of light and insight into a dramatic life which was filled with fairy tales.
After Queenie parted ways with her former boyfriend which has been together with since Secondary 4 and all the way till she graduated in her Degree... it was like years for the both of them. Her fairy tale begins like what we would see in dramas.
Queenie actually knew her current boyfriend out of nowhere... She was at midvalley with her friend when their car could not start. The Prince Charming happened to see the 2 damsels in distress and offered to help jump-start the car. As the process happened, the parents of the young Prince had a nice chat with Queenie and learnt that the father of Prince Charming was also from the same hometown. He had asked for her business card for a future reference. Incidentally, that name card was the only one left with her private number printed on it.
The fairy tale begins with that journey onwards as the young Prince Charming showed concern and care by sending an SMS to check if the ladies were home safe or not. Lucky for him the dad got her name card, right? Soon enough, he asked both the ladies out and by the second date, she was already out with him to get CNY stuff together. It was at least another 2-3 more outings that make them click and before you know it. 1 month later, he was sure that it would be her. Queenie is a very simple person who believes in Love at First Sight and stuff like Fate. When the feeling is there, its got to be going with the flow. If she doesn't like that person, she would avoid and run away from such a person. Just like when she did that to her friend in Taiwan who came back and actually asked for a chance when she was still with her ex-boyfriend back then and he, on the otherhand was also dating in Taiwan when she used to know him. Now, she's cut off contact with him. Yeah, she freaks out... ha ha.
They have a nice routine now. Weekends would be movie days and dinner with his family along with a Sunday Brunch. Doing some catching up unless Queenie goes back to her hometown. Oh, Queenie also felt so touched by my own episodes as well. She finally got to know what those other things that I used to get and do was for. She even almost dropped her jaw when she knew about Tiffany & Co. incident. By the way, when she got back home, she really went to search about it and saw it online only to agree with me.
Queenie has got her ideal almost perfect boyfriend, career and life. So it's just a matter of time. Almost perfect? Yeah, you saw it right. It's almost perfect; the only thing exceptional is because he doesn't help to carry the Ladies' handbags. A masculine ego issue, I suppose. I used to do it... in fact, I still do it... even recently. There's nothing wrong with carrying a handbag for a girl/woman/lady. It doesn't make you any less of a man.
Well, she had more fairy tales to share but I'm gonna take this opportunity to congratulate Liang as well for his Album launch. RIGGA.DANG.DIGGA.DIGGA comes in stores now and has some of the nicest funky tunes that goes great in the car stereo.
Ironically, I was the first to have 8oz of Soul, Liang's debut album when it was hot off the oven. Now, RIGGA.DANG.DIGGA.DIGGA is also popping from the core. Well, besides being the first 10 to pre-order, I got my hands on Liang's 2nd album titled 'AFTER 8'. It's a special limited edition for the Japanese shores. You can even get the tracks in iTune or get into your paypal account and start ordering online. Best recommended to check out Liang's official homepage at www.mynameisliang.com. Liang comes from the stable of other great Recording Artistes such as Juwita Suwito and Altered Frequency as well. The new site for their home has just gone up recent. check out 4our 4orty Records' new look at www.fourfortyrecords.com and get surfin'.
Well, today we broke the silence and it was because of my departure that triggered it. Got to learn that it was to have some private time alone and perceiving that I am busy lately instead.
Lastly, miracles do happen, but not to all of us. Just some who are fortunate enough to experience it. Maybe that's why I do agree that "out of difficulties, makes miracles". For me? I'm not that fortunate. I don't have that miracle, or at least, not yet. As Queenie says, the process of perseverance and patience is still at hand. Bitter now, sweet in the end. I've still got a long way of bitterness before the sweet part comes. She even says, even if its 99% bitter, but that 1 fine last day of sweetness is worth it. She managed to pull thru her hard and tough times too to enjoy her sweetness now. It's only the matter of time before I get mine and she is right that I have to admit. After 28yrs (hint: almost 29... you guys know what to do then...) of my life, then only managed to find such a precious gem. Since everything has come to this stage, treasure it, appreciate that I found it and lose it like its meant to be destined for. Then only will the world be able to revolve.
She had this morale of a story that she shared regarding a monk that showed the past life of a person in a form of a naked dead corpse of the girl by the sea side and the guy who passed by and took off his clothes to cover her. So therefore, the guy deserves her in their next generation and not the guy who longed for her.
Right now, I'm laying down the path of my life to a different dimension. In the same way, I'm also creating it so that the person later to take my place in 'Your' life will be able to enjoy the fruits of these labour. So that later when He comes by, he only needs to harvest and have the sweetest of them all. I'm just only the farmer and fertilizer. A catalyst that speeds up the healing process and growing up part too.
Many of us do not look back and appreciate at the things on our plate today. The hard work that the farmers have done. The number of years that it took for the tree to bear fruit. For the field to fertilize and have such fresh and green vegetables. We may not be able to compensate Mother Nature for it but the human labour in it isn't seen or calculated. Though machines take the place of us humans but the freshest and most fruitful of all is the traditional type. By plowing, sowing, watering and nourishing it with our human love the old fashion way. With our own hands, time, sweat and blood. Think about it, a bundle of vegetable for 1 dollar? Is it even worth their time and effort?
Yesterday, I was lost. Now I am found. Thanks to Queenie, I was shown my actual role in all these. I'm not the consumer, just the farmer. She knows my days are numbered and my life is getting shorter by the minute and thus she opened my eyes by giving me one more last piece of knowledge and her light in her heart. This is for me and her to know for now. Ain't sharing it till the moment is right.
Oh yeah, Claris, for your baby boy's name when he is born.. between Clement, Ethan, Owen and Daryl... I vote... *censored* hahahha... I guess you and some others may know the answer and why. I hope its the chosen one. Cheers.
