On marriage and a lasting relationship
With 58 years of marriage behind her, Patti says the only way to make it work is to shed any notions that a long-lasting relationship equals constant happiness. "When you first get married, you expect a lot form your partner in order to be happy..When you stop expecting, you get along a lot better."
Hopefully, once the honeymoon period is just a distant memory of the time when you used to have regular sex, you're left with someone to share your ups and downs and who teaches you to be a more patient and tolerant person.
I think I've definitely learned that a lot from you.
On money and happiness
Unless you're planning to move to a hippe commune and live off the land, life is depressingly practical. To keep yourself smiling, Nan and Pop advise keeping that piggy bank well-fed.
"Friends and family are the most important thing. But money is life's necessary evil. Coming from a family that never had money to start with, as a child you think, 'I don't want to go through life like this'," Ian says. "I don't believe in being extravagant, but life's miserable if you are poor. It affects everything-the way you bring up kids, your health and your quality of life."
With experience, I know that is so true. Thanks to our feminist forebears and the financial security we experienced growing up, we're a generation of women blessed with opportunites and choices. We're well-educated, well-travelled and thrive on new experiences (not to mention new shoes). We've been brought up on the marketing mantras of "live life to the fullest", "get the most out of life" and "just do it" - so we are. But are we any happier for it?
We've internalised society's lessons about what a successful woman is, but life should be measured not on dress size, salary, or awards, but on joy, fufillment, and relationships. We have largely lost sight of happiness in a haze of our own insatiable ambition.

1. Rebel/Zirca night. Pre-drink with wine and champagne Cheryl bought, had more to drink with Pirates, Long Island Tea, Raspberry Bourbon? It tastes exactly like cough syrup, don't get it ever and Heneiken. In the club, drank a little more with the free drinks that we get from the tickets we bought to enter. Fun factor: 7/10 How could anybody go wrong with rnb and electro?!
2. Celebrated Esther's birthday over at her place, with dinner, nice company and rockband! I still have difficulties with the pinky stretching out for the blue button on the guitar. Its fun-sized, not small. Mehvish's car was still the best, it was like some surround sound system with rnb blasting out of the speakers/stereos, wind-ed down windows with a huge gust of wind in our hairs throughout, and the almost-furious speed. I love fast cars.
3. Had a date with Nadira, mainly for serious job hunting. This was taken in Singapore Arts Museum(SAM) where we applied for FoodForThought. They've got a nice ambience setting and it looks like a fun place to work for a bistro/restaurant. Unfortunately, them people hasn't called us back. Its not that we've disappeared, they did.
4. Cycling with Conrad, Chantel and Ryan from his place in Bedok to ECP. It was Chantel's first cycling along roadsides, I was still pretty nervous even though its my second time. We don't stand a chance against the vehicles that zoom past, if they ever swerve, we're bananas. We ate at the food centre there, followed by desserts at Macs. So much for burning calories but with no effectiveness after adding them up with even more by eating.
5. Self-explanatory. I'm still in love with her no matter what. Miranda Kerr!<3
I've been waiting for the longest time for C to arrive at my place. I still wanna do CRAZY things over what remaining time I have till the results are out in slightly more than a week!
