Love Languages

Sometimes it's funny when it comes to love.
Recently, I've read that love should contain 3 key ingredients - intimacy, passion and commitment.

In the previous week, we talked about the 5 love languages:

1. Words of affirmation
2. Quality Time
3. Receiving Gifts
4. Acts of Service
5. Physical Touch

This link provides a good source of understanding these languages: http://www.separatedmen.com/articles/love_languages.asp

So, as for me, if I were to rate these languages from the most important (number 1) to least important (number 5), it would be:

1. Quality Time
2. Physical Touch
3. Acts of Service
4. Words of affirmation
5. Receiving Gifts


I'm pretty sure that #1 has always been neglected in my case. Spending quality time has always been important to me. I did have a hard time weighing #2 and #3 as they're both equally important to me. But I guessed I'm the kind of girl who likes a lot of intimacy (well, I don't mean sex) as I would always want my partner to hold my hand while we're walking, or maybe putting his arms around me, hugs me, cuddles with me, etc. You know, it's like sometimes when you're walking in the park and you saw old couples still holding hands and hugging one another, you would wish that you would find someone who would grow old with you and still loves you despite of the wrinkles on your face etc. It does sounds like a fairytale, but I am not confident about the existence of true love at all when it comes to the generation I'm in. What I mean is, it seems that true love only exists in the older generation, but does it still exist in the later generation? Well, a small part of me still hopes that it exist.

You know, sometimes, life is pretty confusing. For example, I always wished to have a love life like those in the movies/ dramas, but when it comes to myself experiencing it, I find it too complicated to deal with. :(

The Great People in Abbott :)

Since the first week I started my internship in Abbott, everything was great. Life has been good for me. New friends...Love...Let me introduce to the people I've known in Abbott:

1) Yi Xiang

She's the tallest girl among us (the interns). Hehehe... Sometimes, it feels like we have certain things in similar and I felt that she is someone I can be trusted with :) Especially when asking for advice and relationship talks. I'm so glad that we can meet and know each other more closely through this internship :)

2) Li Chun

She is someone who is very cute. Can be a little hyper at times. Like to sabo me, Edmund and Stanley a lot. Oh yeah, she's also quite funny at times, especially when she's in the hyper mode. Hahaha. :)

3) Noviabella

Her name is very unique, right? When I first heard this name, I was like.."Whoa...so unique!". And I feel she's also pretty :D  Oh btw, she's from Indonesia too :)

4) Yoon Her

A Korean lady who's studying MBA in NUS. I feel that she's hardworking. Hehehe. Especially when she told us that she would feel guilty if she had lunch over 1 hour. :|

5) Yanyao

Hmm....to me, she's quite quiet. But she can be funny at times, when she came over to my place occasionally and pointed at the rainbow colour on the ceiling. Haha.

6) Elaine

Hohoho...finally, this is my junior :DD  She's quite cheeky I think. But it's really fun to be with her too. Hahahaha...and yeah, you'll get shocked from the things she said to you sometimes (well, to me and the guys mostly). Hahaha...But, honestly, it's fun to hang out with her :D

7) Edmund

The guy that likes chocolate and sing karaoke. :D
LOL. He's also someone who also always got saboed :P  Hahaha...

8) Stanley

The guy (oops boy) that never grows up. LOL. He's also from Indonesia btw.

9) Jia Le

The guy that likes to use the "shocked" look emoticons in the Whatsapp chat. So epic. Hahahaha :D   He's a funny and kind guy :)

The above are interns. Now, let's talk bout the real people who worked in Abbott..

1) Jun Jie (mentor)

Hehehe...his look and character is quite similar to my brother-in-law. He gave me a lot of insights on the Sensory field and guidance. Sometimes, it really feels like he was like a good brother to me :)

2) Dawn (mentor)

Dawn was like a senior and sister to me at times. :) She's also from NUS too, 2006 batch. Although sometimes I may have a little fear for her, she's kind to me too. She also provided me a lot of guidance and taught me a lot. It's great to work together with her too.

3) Mr. Sheeram

Hehehe...This man was really kind to me. Always greeted me "Morning" and "Goodbye, Miss" . He also recommended me to some people in Abbott (eg. Ai Mei) as he knew that I'm graduating soon. So, he will always reminded me to talk with the Food Science people in Abbott to get some insights and advices and also reminded me to start hunting for jobs now. He's like a great father, isn't it? :)

4) Mr. Saikart

According to Dawn, Mr. Saikart was a genius and also a scholar. He's an expert in packaging. Hence, when we did sensory evaluation together, at times when Dawn asked for advices regarding packaging, I get to learn something. :) It's good to be able to learn something out of your "intern field" at times. :) Oh yeah, btw, he's also has a cute character :D

5) Ai Mei

I always wanted to know her since the first week. I don't know why, but maybe it's because she was from my hometown? Hehehe...Well, she was Stanley's supervisor. I feel that she's a friendly and humble person :)

6) Jeffrey Tan

Hehehe...I just know that he's the most good looking guy in the Biopolis (Centros) office. :P
He's the IT guy, hmm...not married. Seems to be single. But kind of flirty? LOL. But he's also funny la...I mean, the way he joked bout certain things. Like when he walked pass my desk, and I was holding a wet tissue that time, then he asked "Wah, zuo gong zuo dao diao yan lei ah?" Then, I just laughed at it. Yeah, he's funny. :D


Nevertheless, there are quite a number of others that are really nice in Abbott too... Like those that greeted me and smiled to me when they walked pass my desk. :) It's seems to be great to work in Abbott.

I guessed I'm Just a Girl who wants Stability and Security

When I was younger, just like any girls, we would want guys who could provide us the 5Cs.

Well, as I grew more mature (self-denial about my age, well all girls do), as I gained better view of different kinds of people through life experiences etc, I began to think that if 5Cs is something you can achieve with your own ability, won't you feel it's much better to rely on your own achievements than to rely on someone to provide you the 5Cs?

Well, I don't really have good views/impressions on the rich people. In fact, I don't have good views for most of them. I've seen much, but I believe there are some good ones? So, for me, I would prefer getting things with my own ability. I guessed because sometimes I want good stuffs ( for eg. Foods) for myself, I would feel guilty if I'm "requesting" from someone. Obviously, if I pay it myself, I won't feel bad or guilty. Maybe because of this, I usually prefer going Dutch. 'Coz I would felt uncomfortable when someone paid for my expensive food. Sorry, I'm a glutton! I love foodies, especially nice foods with great ambience. But that doesn't mean I don't eat hawker foods! I love them as long as they're at least edible (:

To cut a long story short, I realized 5Cs is not important. I had a long thought the past few days. Sometimes, it's hard to make a decision. Happiness - is it something that I can choose? I'm not even sure if an average girl like me has such luxury choices? Sometimes I just hope that I can turn down the voices in my head. But, in the end, I guessed I'm just an average girl who wants 2 Ss (Security & Stability) from my partner.
