Thistle Hotel Port Dickson

This hotel can be dubbed the jewel of Port Dickson. Located at a more remote part of the coast, it has made me see PD in a different light. You can actually see the blueness of the waters thicken as the water depth rises; sign that there is less polution here than in Telok Kemang. True to its name, Thistle country, its landscapes and amenities are sleek and breathtaking. I mostly love the idea of the night spot (for adults only) called Cumulus, situated by the beach and complete with an adult pool & lazy day beds, where the evening breeze and sound of the live band swept my worries away. Coupled with a ride on a 4-stroke jetski, it was a truely pleasant weekend getaway...

Infidelity

• In the midst of the media scrambling through Tiger Woods' skeletons in the closet, I feel slightly sorry for him. Though I am perplexed to see and read the unravelling dirty secrets of such a graceful icon, his infidelity screams nothing but incompleteness and lack of happiness. Even with a trophy wife like Elin Nordegren, a man could resort to less than half of her beauty to cover the holes that are not on the golfcourse, but in his heart. Though what is incomplete will remain a question by us the onlookers, judging from my personal experience with my own family, I know that a guy always needs a compatible companion. As independent and matured a guy can be, they NEED a woman to be their partner, both physically and emotionally, all the time. Once his woman stop being compatible, they start looking elsewhere. Unfortunately, for some of them, their egos deter them from saying it out loud to their partners until we, women realise that the men in our lives have taken a step too far. This is especially true with "men who made bank" because affordable sultrous alternatives are available with a flash of the bill. When they can't find it in their wives, there are plenty more out there right. Who knows, maybe it is not all about the physicals, maybe a man like Tiger Woods just wanted someone whom he can have conversations with.

• Forgive me if I am wrong, but I think a guy needs his wife to still be a girlfriend, not just a woman taking care of his household. Being a girlfriend means to still be attractive and approachable. She has to like his hobbies and interests, and help him polish his abilities. Feed the boy inside him. She cannot be a critic, but a source of support. She has to be his bestfriend, a person he can talk to about his insecurities and problems, whatever they may be. She needs to be a great 'mistress', one who can tempt him, surprise him, and most of all, pamper him. Because from what I notice, women start taking all or some of these for granted in the presence of children or in the chase of their own careers.

• It is all hormonal and psychological for a guy. As for us women, it is hard work, and I guess suppressing at times, but we could at least try. After all, it will eventually work both ways - many ways actually - we need a loyal partner and children need their fathers to be good role models in their process of growing up, so we are the crew behind the scenes to psychologically teach the men to grow up...TOO. =P

Thinking mode

• I'm overwhelmed with my own thoughts.

• I wish to do a lot of things at once but I'm no superwoman. There is the worry about my overweight siblings whom I'm dying to get them to go jogging with me. Their addiction to video game and computers are overpowering my power of persuasion. I know scolding them won't work; I need to win them psychologically but I'm clueless.

• There is my father's wide-range of small businesses which are in need of little more attention - I'm going to start my improvement plan with one of it, but with many other personal plans before the semester starts, will it persist?

• There is the home decor project of our new home which has been constantly being put on hold due to financial reasons - my expensive tastes is not helping anyone nor do my meticulousness! Money is flowing out like bursting water pipes because of me!

• There is the upcoming vacation which everyone has been expecting me to plan but have yet to give me final confirmation on participation (Izzy I'm still hoping you can go!)
  

• Then there is the worry about the guy in my life now, we fight and I find myself letting him take charge of the relationship - I am no longer the dominant one and I feel suppressed sometimes because dominance has always been my trait. He's protective and positive, while I am always the one who gives up easily. The worry that our soon to be long distance relationship will make me drift away because I just don't believe in long distance relationship anymore. As always, he thinks we can pull through because he's just so positive and self-convincing! Then again, I'm the happiest person after him for the opportunity to further his studies. Alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah my prayers for his studies were answered but it means we're going to be apart and the last time that happened to me and a guy, it didn't turn out well.

Oh no.. I'm feeling more overwhelmed now. =/
