7 Signs you are crushing on someone

How often do you get trapped in the maze of love? Everyone was borned into this universe to feel and appreciate the beauty of our nature and surroundings. That had also made us fall in love with people whom we just know or had been around us all the while. As commonly, we would take some time before we realize or notice the beauty within people.  Situations whereby we fell so hard in love with a person whom we just know also exist, but there is nothing wrong as long as you know the reason for it. Humans are emotional species and most of the time; what becomes the pillar and provides motivation for us to fight on or pursue our dreams are our loved ones.

So what will be the 7 signs that you are crushing on someone?

1.          Finding ways to keep the conversation going

You will crack your brain juices to figure every possible ways to keep the conversation going. This will also be the time where you find out your real creativeness. Go ahead being nonsensical and becoming other sides of yourself, and who knows the other party might find you interesting to talk to. Just a word of caution, do not deviate from your real self too much. You will understand it why when it becomes a real setting.

2.         She or he is constantly on your mind

This is an universal indication to everyone. We all know it. Being largely distracted as a result of it, is a strong signal that you are not giving up on this feeling. And of course, you will feel really motivated and driven in this moment! (:

3.           On cloud nine when the they respond positively

Ever experience nights whereby you can't sleep because of excitement and happiness? 

4.           You can’t take your eyes off of them

You always take chances to secretly glance at them. Yes, you probably have a crush on them then! 

5.           You get nervous before you see them

If you tend to get nervous before meeting someone, chances are you have a crush on them. Your heart feels fluttery and there are butterflies in your stomach. However, it will be better to sort out your nervousness or anxiety, as these may be tell-tale signs to the other party that you are feeling uncomfortable with them. 

6.           You wonder what they think of you

Being overly particular over how will that someone think about you? Then you might have a crush on them! You may want them to think that you're an interesting and fun person to be with! Also, leaving a good impression on the first date.

7.           You secretly hope that they will ask you out again

If you secretly hope that this person will ask you out, then you absolutely have a crush on them! Being in love can be a good thing if both makes the effort to keep the fire and passion going. Be sure to be a responsible lover to your crush! (:

Let's welcome the Goat Year. Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Good afternoon peeps! 

It has been a long while since I posted anything on my blog. So I will be sticking to the tradition of sharing about my life! That is also the main purpose of writing a blog – to stay connected with my old and current friends.  

Before I go on writing, I will like to wish all my Chinese friends a Happy Chinese New Year and may all spend time to catch up and show concern for their loved ones in this joyous festive season. To my non-Chinese friends, I wish all of you happy holidays and may this be a time for you and your loved ones to catch up after a hectic year.

I hope everyone will prosper in the Year of the Goat. I wish your family be filled with bountiful happiness and a smooth-sailing year for all.

I do not know if anyone still follows up on my blog, so I apologize for not being able to update for the past several months. As my commitments in both school work and personal had left me with not much time to write up a post. But fret not; I am finally over with my polytechnic studies and I am back! 

So what’s next up for me? I am in the midst of applying into local universities as well as government and institutes scholarships. Not to forget, I will be entering National Service to serve the nation very soon. I will say that year 2015 will be one of the most exciting years, as there will be plenty of surprises – good or/and bad ones. It's also a year whereby I decide where and what I do for the next 10 years. I will keep the tradition alive to update everyone on where I go in the near future. Meanwhile, I like to take this chance to wish everyone that they get what and where they dream to go! Don't be too discouraged by unpleasant outcomes. It's perfectly okay to feel upset and disappointed for just a short period. As it has been said, "Failure is hard, but it is worse to have never experienced it". There will always be ways to find out the real purpose in you. I sincerely hope everyone is able to reach their goals! 

I guess I have more or less summed up the recent events in my life to everyone. I know it's a little short but I swear any more details will certainly bore you. So I hope being short and sweet will be nice for you. (I hope so!) Hmm oh ya, I am now in the midst of generating new topic ideas to write for my blog. It can be similar to the ones I previously wrote on. (i.e. 10 things your partner never says, but you need to know it, 7 bitter life truths you have to know) if you want me to write something that you will be interested to see, you can tell me here and I will be likely to select the ones which I am most prepared to write on:

I wish everyone a blessed and purposeful year ahead! 

The Special One

Hello dear friends!! 

Finally, I have found the time to write up a post about my life! Hopefully what I am going to say in this post will be of interest and will not bore you. Hahaha. Well, after a long one month break of not posting anything, I decided not to be lazy anymore and at the same time, I think it is time to write a sequel to one of my old blog topics. To be honest with all of you, I feel sincerely happy and blessed that I am able to do up this post today! 

On the 14th June 2014:

Okay! Before I start to write up on what I have intended to, I would love to take this opportunity to wish all my dear Muslims friends a joyous Hari Raya, Selemat Hari Raya Aidilfitri! May this special occasion bring joy to your heart, family and beloved friends! 

The thing that I am going to talk about can be said to hold the greatest significance and of high importance in my life. Never have I thought that I would made this decision. I believe some of you may already have an idea on what I am going to share today. Hmm, I guess I should not keep everyone in suspense anymore. So the topic that I wish to write a sequel on it is “Two and a Final one” which dated all the way back to eight months ago.

With that, I shall start my writing or penning down my thoughts into this post. I shall name the title of this post to be, “The special person in my life”. During the period of April to June, I think I have left out many details which I think my friends should know. So here it goes! :D

Everything started on the 1^st of April 2014. Yes my friends, I know it’s the April Fools’ Day but rest assured, I am not kidding with you in here. Hahaha, I was also amazed and astonished to find out that day was the first time me and her conversed via messages. As some of you, perhaps my close friends were probably aware on how reluctant was I to enter a relationship because of academic reasons, as it requires continuous commitment and effort to maintain and sustain a healthy relationship. However, at the same time, I would not deny that I was on a look-out for a partner. I am always really keen on knowing and meeting new people in my life, but was never keen on getting into a relationship. I would admit that I am someone who can be rather sentimental and really cautious when it comes to love matters. As I am aware of the stakes and consequences that were involved in a relationship, it isn’t a game whereby you can take feelings of people for granted and mistreat the trust given wholeheartedly by the person to you.

Deep down my heart, I know some of the concerns that you may have for me may be, “From April till July is only a short period of time … and for someone to fully understand the other party will certainly require a much longer period of time”. I do share the similar concern with you because it is perfectly logical, as you will need more time to understand someone in most cases. However, there will always be exceptions in life and I don't know if I am in the sphere of exceptions. Nonetheless, I believe that we have to seize our own opportunities and take risks when necessary at some point in our lives. That’s just life. Nothing is going to have it in your way, unless you make the effort to go for it first. And honestly, I am still perplexed with how my heart has managed to convince me go for it because it is rare to confess and commit to someone whom you only have knew for two and a half months.

This brings me to my next point, before my trip to Denmark, my thoughts were, “I shall decide my next step after the trip”. This explained why I said I really hope that I could write a sequel to one of my old blog topics once I return back to Singapore. Indeed how blissful I am feeling right now because I am actually penning down my thoughts on this matter. :D

Maybe something about myself? Hahaha. I live my life with the principle to commit fully once I have given my word, because that is what makes you as a credible and responsible individual. Based on this principle, I have never once thought of trying out a relationship, but only commit fully once certain. I know It may be foolish to have this belief or thinking in a relationship but that would be just my most sincere and best way of sustaining a healthy relationship with my partner. And of course, there are many ways to uphold a healthy relationship but so long you have chosen one that makes you live a fulfilling and comfortable life, that’s that.

I also thank fate for bringing the two of us together, and I am glad that our efforts have brought us here today. Before I end off, I would have some mushy words to my special girl. I hope you guys won't mind and can bear with it. Hahaha :P 

Dear Kit Yee,

I want you to know that I will always be there for you so long my health does not forbid me to ... and I promise to love you for who you are and to work hard for our future. I may have known you for only three months but I believe that quality beats quantity. The quality times we had had indeed instilled both strong trust and faith in the both of us. I, hereby give you my word, to love you and to take good care of you forever ... ... 

Happy 1st Month Anniversary. 

With Love,

Ben

Okay, sorry for the mushy words! :P I shall stop there. Heh! :D Last but not least, one last final shout out to all my Muslim friends, SELAMAT HARI RAYA! Enjoy your festive day, friends!

Away! Bye!

Hi friends! 

I’ll be flying to Denmark tonight for the entire June vacation! If you’re thinking that this trip is going to be my holidays … sadly it’s not! Hahaha. I will be going there to study!! I suddenly recalled what my friends always tell me, "You can't stop studying one ah? Haiyo!" To my dear friends: I also wish I can stop la, but I guess deep down in me there's a dream that I need to pursue in my life! And you all should know! heh :) 

Also, I really would like to thank and express my gratitude towards my friends who have expressed their best wishes for me over in Denmark. I am glad to receive those text messages and phone calls. It's the thoughts that you guys have for me made me feel how fortunate and blessed I am! 

I will try to upload daily taken photos on my blog to share my life in Denmark with you all! I will promise to enjoy as much as I can over there, even though the chances of it are quite low! :P 

Lastly, I also hope that I will be able to write a sequel to one of my old blog topics after my trip! I hope that I am really able to though. (: 

To end off, I like to sincerely wish you guys a happy June vacation too! :) Enjoy it to the fullest!! 

I WILL MISS YOU ALL! :D

For My Friends.

Hello friends!! :D

I just felt that it’s time to revive my blog with a new post & as well as, to take a break from all the studying! I don’t know how many equations I have already written the past few days! Hahahaha. Before I write my topic, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone the best in preparing for their tests and for those who have completed their tests, to enjoy your holidays to the fullest! ^^. Oh and here's a fun fact about myself, it’s a month away before I mark my first year in blogging. Haha, time really flies. 

With that, I guess a post on my thoughts and feelings to why I have decided to start a blog will bring about sentimental value to me and to all my friends. Initially, I wanted to leave this post to next month but since I foresee that I'd be really busy starting from July onward, so here's the post today! Hope that you guys will looking forward to reading it! ^^

8 July 2013 - 8 June 2014,

I was thinking of ways to stay connected with as many friends as possible, especially those who have parted ways to pursue higher education at different institutions after the PSLE and O's levels. Accepting that this is part and parcel of life, and I have to move on. I have never given in to the belief that that was the last chapter of my life with them.  As much as I believed fate has brought two people together, I also believed that the efforts will very well determine how lasting they could be. 

This probably ignited a spark in me to start blogging so that my friends can read and find out more about my life. To this point of my thoughts, I asked myself, "How do I justify that I have stayed connected with my friends when they are the only ones that can know more about my life but I don't know theirs?" As you can see it was so one-sided to start with. So I sat down and told myself back then, " So long as I felt that I have placed my best effort on my part to maintain all of the friendships I had, that's enough." I knew it was impossible to involve everyone with my blog. That's life ... and is fair. 

With that, I continued blogging into the next few months, keeping it as active as possible. To be honest with you, it wasn't easy to keep my blog active because it requires time, energy and commitment to write up a post. At the same time, I also wanted to keep my posts relevant to my friends. I tried writing up on issues pertaining to around our lives, posts about my own life and as well as, posts that motivates or gives inspirations to people. And I am aware that my posts weren't the best written, the thoughts and ideas may be on the superficial level. But I promise to continue improving on my ideas and posts and most importantly, to write to my best effort. Nevertheless, I will still continue my style in ensuring that clarity of ideas are easily put across to many. And I will strive to improve on my English.

In the midst of blogging, I have also encountered the conundrum of to blog for my readers or to blog for myself? I guess you could see that I tried a range of genres for my topics from time to time. Haha. And finally today, I decided that blogging for my readers will be the best direction to head towards. So you may be questioning me on how exactly am I sure that my posts are going to be for you? Well, I will just write about my life and is for you because it may hopefully intrigue you to find out more. :) 

All in all, I just hope to maintain the friendships. 

Love you all,

Ben
