346. A quick update

So I see there are still actually a few people that visit my blog daily though my updates has been very scarce. 

Its about 1.16 am now as I am typing this. I just finished reading a chapter of my Python Programming homework so I understand a little bit more in class next week. And now I am going to go watch some Mtv's True Life and maybe browse the Kenzo show from Paris Fashion Week for some eye candy! 

I haven't been up to much lately, besides the usual but today Magnar and I took a quick trip to Oslo for the sake of it and I must admit that I throughly enjoyed myself. 

First we went over to the Kunstindustri museum (Art Industry? Museum)

Which in my honest opinion was far from being anywhere near my idea of a good museum, there was a bit to see but nothing to really write home about.

The fun-est thing we did there was playing at the children section, colouring patterns. Yeah, we never really grow up really.

Then we went over for some vegetarian food at Vega (which happens to be the same place I have been before with a different name) Completely recommended. Might write a review on it if I go there again!

Then we headed to Pascals for some macaroons, then some Geo-caching then we heading to Lillestrøm, had sushi and watched James Bond.

So yeah. That was my 10.10.10.

Hope your day was great too! 

342. The quest.

I was telling Magnar's dad how I've never really had the chance to live the "single life" and would like to date another 100 people. So he said, at the rate I am going, I need to get through my men faster.(*Not exact quote, but the point remains) Haha!

So I thought how hard can it be to find 100 men?

Let me tell you. Hard.

Come do some math with me!

Lets do some math. Since I don't actually have very many friends I have to turn to Facebook to carry out my imaginary experiment.

So as of today, I have 240 Facebook friends and 60 pending friend request. (And since I need the numbers, I'll use the 60 pending) 

1.First due to personal preference sexual preference I need to eliminate well, woman/girls. 

(300/2=150)

2.Right,then you need to find men who is "dateable" material. Lets say, we take half the men as "all-right"  (150/2=75)

3.Then you have to lower it down taking away men who well, have same gender preference as me. And well, I have lots of gay men friends, and they are super <3 but unfortunately... 

So, lets say I have 

(65-10=55)

4.Then we have to lower down to men who are already taken. I might be on a quest, but I am not well... needy and horny. :P 

(55/2= plus minus 23)

5. Then I need to make sure that these men I am trying to find is within a day of travel range. I dont want to waste my days traveling if I want to keep my 100 men goal. :P

(23-20=3) 

6. Then I need to find a men who is willing to entertain me, give me cuddles, take me out, answer my calls any day or time, a person you can talk about anything and everything, you know all that mushy stuff. etc etc

(3-1=2)

7. Now comes the tricky bit, we of course need to have the men to want you so, that eliminates even more people 

(2-1=1)

8. And to top it all off, since I believe we should all have standards and thus I need to want every one of that "100 men" myself too. I can never imagine dating men unless I actually like them. And plus, I don't want to be some weird slut solely on a quest. 

So yeah, after all that calculation we have narrowed my options, I am left with one dude.

Crap. 

I think as of right now, you were meant for me!

And there probably isn't any other better person for me either.

And above all, there probably isn't any person I really want more than you.

Its sometimes hard to see it in the midst of a mood tantrum and when you don't learn to answer my calls, or entertain me all the time, but all that goes over and it will be okay again.

So, you should really just let me embark on my adventures for something tells me I'll always come back to you.

290. Relationships 1.0

Expectations.

The first thing I learnt about relationships is definitely this. Expectations.

When we are younger, all we see are happy couples on cartoons, Prince Charming being there for every single Princess, Prince Charming always looks spectacular and flawless, they wait indefinitely for that one Princess, and in other words, they were just the "perfect man"

It has also been embedded in us that, second best is never good enough.

In many ways, I still want the best of everything. But when it comes to relationship, the way I see it, there is no such thing as perfection.

I have never came across one. Honestly, have you?

That person always seeking perfection. That person is always me.

I mean, Why should we settle for anything less when our happiness right?

That was before I realize this one flaw in seeking perfection.

In perfection, comes illusions. 

Illusions of things, that you become deluded believing that perfection exist. And you know exactly what happens when you look for perfection, you overlooked what right there in front of you. You push aside an entire perfectly fine person because they come with some flaws.

I cannot lie, but it did take me a few months to see Magnar for the wonderful guy he was. Still is. 

So what? he is not a royal family (so I can become an official princess?) So what? I don't get showered with flowers and chocolates every day? So what if I don't get trips to Paris for the weekend? So what if he doesn't buy me my Chanel's and Marc Jacobs?

Magnarboy is better than Prince Charming, mainly because he is real.

And he has given me more than any Prince could have, he has given me a chance to look at myself and realize that life is worth living. That there is possible to open yourself out to more people than just yourself.

I don't really need my material wants and needs, things and money are a measure of nothing. And more often than not, they are things you can easily get with a little hard work.

And before looking for someone elses' flaws, remind yourself that everyone is flawed. 

And that includes basically you and me.

So relationship cliché #1 : True

Its easy to like someone for their perfections, but when you can look past that is when you know you have something special.

289. Looking forward

<3

So, I usually don't talk about relationships on my blog ever, unless I do it unknowingly.

This is mainly because, even though in many ways I think what Magnar and I have is quite amazing, it is no guarantee that things will always be this way.

It really doesn't take much to put a strain on relationships you know.

That, and I really don't like prying people.

I think I tell too much about myself here as it is.

And I should know, because every now and then I get so emotionally pissed at everything and everyone, I myself don't know how tomorrow will turn out. :)

But lucky me, Magnar has always been nice enough to weather some emotional storms and we are still going strong. In less than a weeks time, we would have been "officially dating" for 2 years. Plus minus. 

So since I am feeling a bit on the mushy mode, I thought I would do a stream of "How idiots make relationship work, the cliché and if it works" :)

Sounds okay?

267. Pictures

Random pictures :) Super hearts!

That me driving, with Jens.

I still don't believe driving an automatic car actually qualifies as "driving"...

Thats why I loveeee it :)

Such a killer stalker pictures... 

My favorite-est position when Magnar is not entertaining me! 

But as you can tell, doesn't exactly work. Fml. Hrmpf.

Random Music Plug.

Another Malaysian song I use to hear a million times!

266. Easter!

So, a few days ago I was invited over to the Hjelmstad's place for some "Easter dinner" Though it honestly felt more like an Easter lunch to me. Well, since we did start at 4 pm

What can I say?

Kate and Co, always makes some of the most yummy food there is!

And, Even on regular days! It is insane that house. Completely insane.

Oh, and after food we even managed to squeeze in an Easter egg hunt!
It was probably my first Easter egg hunt ever!

Avocado and Prawn Salad, MMMM.

Emphasize capitals!

My pictures dont do it justice. :(

Then we had a main course of some roast lamb? potatoes and some gravy looking awesome thing.

Though,by then, I was too busy being a glutton, I couldn't be bothered to take any more pictures :)

So you just have to take my word for it. 

It was fantaboloustically good! 

Then came desserts, and I realized... I couldn't resist not taking pictures.

Can You?

Raspberry, Bananas, Vanilla Ice Cream, Walnuts, And Chocolate Sauce.

Its like a food orgasm. 

Then we had an Easter egg hunt, and I am still looking for one egg of mine.

Egg hunting.

I don't really know what to say except, this might just be my first ever "Easter". 

I never did anything special during Easter before and it used to just be another vacation, so it was a really nice change for once. Guess I should be quite thankful, I got invited? :)

More pictures to follow tomorrow :)

Kinda tired now, got to catch up on some sleep lovelies.

252. A date with Magnar

I dont know if words could really tell the adventures of the day, so maybe this is when people say, Pictures are worth a thousand words.

First we went to the new Norwegian ski jump Holmekollen. We didn't expect that there will be any even there, but little did we know... 

We had to park a half hour away. On the top of a hill. 

This is the not so exciting part, walking up to the car again. A 2.8 km walk uphill

I think the funny bit was Magnar going "Would some chocolate make you happy?"

And tadah. He pulled up some chocolate! I did feel better for about 2 minutes.

Kvikk Lunsj, ftw.

Then we headed over to Teknisk Museum over at Kjelsås!

I love that place! So much stuff to play around with! 

Definitely a new must visit for tourist in Norway.

It does say I could climb on the dino!

I never past an opportunity to ride dinos! 

Then the museum had to close :(

So we went to a mountaintop somewhere and had probably one of the best view of Oslo city there is!

Breathtakingly, gorgeous.

We were there just when the sun was setting. Weather wasn't at all bad. For me at least.

(Well, I did have Magnar's jacket, because like he say... I don't like using my own jacket)

But it was just so picture perfect. I haven't seen Oslo that nice ever.

Then we got home, had dinner and watch Food Inc. :)

I really dont know what to say about my weekend. 

Yesterday has just been so awesome! I had a massive ton of fun and would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

I always ask anyone who I assume knows, what love is?
Everyday, I think I might just be one step closer to finding that out. 

232. Årnes

So I came to realize yesterday (well, we all did before) but there is completely nothing to do here in Årnes. And there is almost as little left to do in Bodung either.

So anyways, Munchkin and I went for Paranormal Activity yesterday.

And had some pizza at that Papa Joe's. 

And that was about all we can do in Årnes. Hrmph.

And mind you, while having pizza there was only 4 person at the restaurant

and the cinema, there was probably only 10 of us. So cosy. Haha!

Okay, got to go now.

Making my croissants! Then I am off to Oslo!

222. Sledging!

Blog number 222! How exciting!

I got some pictures from Magnar today labelled "You sledging" and since they are decent quality iPhone images figured I might as well share it with you! :)

Yes, I sledge like that.

Hrmph, what do you take me for?

Haha! I think you can tell I had quite a great time!

P:S, Mummy see, I ran out of contact lenses and had to wear my emo glasses out :(

I should make a .gif of these pictures later! :)

It was my first ever sledging trip! And it is soooooo much fun!

I could only wish there was a longer track so I could slide down and down and down for a really long time! :) Infact if it never ends, that would be even better!

Everyone should give this a try sometime!

On another random note : I found out today that Photobooth does video! *evil laugh* 

Now, wait for my new vlog blogging! :)

xo

218. Valentines!

I left Magnar some message in the snow. :)

Inspired by Colormekatie, improvised.

Then I also made him something rather cool! But I cant show it to you just yet. *Cough haven't finish making it cough*

Oh, the little hearts can easily be yours with a bottle of kitchen spray cleaning thinggymajiggy. And some red food colouring.

Picture doesn't really do it justice. It looks really good under normal lighting. I can only hope it is still there since I did it on Friday and its been warm and cold and warm and cold ever since. And Magnar is not coming home from Leeds till midnight today. So he might not even see it till tomorrow.

Oh no, possible project fail.

In case you are wondering, None of my emolicious post is really about Magnar. It's so much more about me. And no, I don't necessarily want to talk about it either. 

215. My vice

Now, if you know me, you would know... I have no patience to wait for the right days to open my presents. If you give it to me a month before my Birthday, I'll open it right after you turn away. Haha!

Magnar knows that, and he likes pushing my limits like that. So he gave me my I assume Valentines gift yesterday. 3 days in advance.
Well, probably because he has left for Leeds early today morning and will not be home till Sunday night :D

I have been rubbing, feeling, shaking, poking it for a while now. And I am sure I know what it is, but I don't know exactly what it is. 

Look at that face! Rofl. 

It's hard, its rectangular, it feels like a photo frame, I complain about not having any nice pictures of us ever....

Hrm,What could it be? Haha! :)

On another note : If it is what I think it is, then he has been smart. He knows I cannot stand bouquets of flowers that don't look like bouquets. Bouquets have to look like this.

If you give me stalks of flowers and not a proper bouquet "bouquet", I first have to go find a vase, then fill it with water and then put them outside, for my aunt's enjoyment. Then they wilt and die. Then I must go clean them up and throw them away. 

Where is the enjoyment in that?

If you give me a proper bouquet I can dry them out and keep them looking beautiful :) And use them as decoration around the room!

Some dried flowers looks stunning. Agree?
