Ah... Those so familiar feeling...

Read this from a novel: What The Lady Wants (Hester Browne)



The main character was Melissa. This was a scene when she confided in her friend, Nicholas, about how she felt about her relationship with her ex-fiance.



'It's not about the present,'I said, 'it's the thought that goes into it. I'll rather have tiny gifts that someone had spent time finding, rather than ludicrously expensive ones they'd just charged to their Amex.' I looked up at Nicky.



'It's not good form for a lady to feel she's bought,Or, at least, not good form for her to establish she has a price.'


I pondered about this point made by Melissa. Many times I have tried to explain the queasy feeling inside me, yet I can't seem to find the proper words. THIS is clearly how I felt.

The most touching gift I have received are usually handmade... well thought out, conceptualised carefully etc.... from Posters... the Front page of the newspaper on the Day AND Year that i was born in!... little cut outs with bits of glue still hanging.... and a nice box of chocolate (oh Yes, they are expensive too!!)

Oh, please dun misunderstand me, I mean which girl dun like Rolexes, Tag Huer, expensive computer/ Handphones, Expensive Loewe wallets, chq book holders, expensive Europe travel - all expense paid for, expensive bicycle or even the offer of a small car... man, it's often too overwhelming to me...I'm too slow for those "Awwwwww darling! So Sweet of you! You really shouldnt have! Aww.... I LOVE IT! Oh, I LOOOOOOVE YOU!" *SMOOCH* and mayb ended up giving a well derserved BJ? I duno... is this me?
Nah....I'm probably the "Oh, it's very nice and sweet of you Baby.... Thank you very much! I like it alot!"*KISS*HUG* and maybe..... just maybe *KISS* again! AND the story usually ends there.... Am I boring? Or am I a cold blanket?!

Suddenly feeling nostalgic...

This song suits my mood....

Close To You - The Carpenters

why do birds suddenly appear
every time you are near?
just like me,
they long to be, close to you.

why do stars fall down from the sky
every time you walk by?
just like me,
they long to be, close to you.

* on the day that you were born
the angels got together
and decided to create a dream come true
so they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
and starlight in your eyes of blue. *

that is why all the girls in town
follow you all around.
just like me,
they long to be, close to you.

Repeat **
wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
hahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you.
lahhhhhhhhhhh, close to you
