Lena's Birthday

33 years ago this day, a girl was born and fortunately or unfortunately for her, maried me 33 years later. Am sure it was Godsend to me, as I am to her.
Since she can't take the day off, celebration of her birthday started at 1230hrs, when I picked her up from Lloyd Leas and we went to SPD to pick up her Tiramisu-birthday cake (made by inmates of Selarang Park).
Went for a simple lunch at Downtown East, and then we headed to Aviva Spa for her "Birthday Event #1: Body Revitalising & rebewal" which is, basically a Spa Treatment gift I planned for her (and got meself a full body massage too, hehe).
Birthday Event#2 is at home, a DVD presentation of her life in visual, a video collage I put together for her. After which we cut the cake, eat 'em and gave her the birthday presents (got for her a PDA). Am glad she likes it (or so, she claimed).
Final Event (#3) is actually a family outing to The Sesame Street Live Show at Downtown East. For the first time I could see that Mikail was very happy. His face lit up like a Christmas Tree when he saw Elmo (his fav SS character) appeared on stage. Its kinda heartwarming to you see someone you love became suddenly radiant with happiness. His smile etched a permanent picture in my mind, I could never forget that.
It was a beautiful day. A day of simple pleasure, laughter and joy. Something truly positive to blog about.

Lesbianism

First and foremost let me apologise if this entry rub anyone here in any wrong way. And if you are truly going to get bent out of shape disagreeing, please do us both a favour and don't carry on reading - for this rant of mine is about how lesbianism sort of "destroyed" marriages - specifically TWO marriages - of two friends at work.

Within this one year two married female friends of mine decided to end their marriages to their respective husbands for another women. Of course, as an outsider I do not see the true picture (whatever that is) and whatever actually happened between two people only these two people know, we are but listener of news, up and down the grapevine. And sometime we just take everything hook, line and sinker and form opinion thereof.

But to think that a women will abandon matrimony for an alternative lifestyle (to be with a another women in a lesbian relationship) is truly alien to this ultra-conservative mind of mine. Even if it is a well known well publicised fact that the marriage was already "on the rock".

There is a general feeling of waste. Of destruction. Of loss. But if they are happy, why not?

I am still reeling from the shock as the person involved is someone whom I thought I know to be of higher substance and moral fortitude (and I sound like a high n mighty-anal-retentive moralist).

Her last word asked for people not to judge her. I don't, I leave that to God.
