mutual relationship的八卦，Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

Truly a pleasure talking to ESM Goh Chok Tong (MParader) , 2nd Prime Minister of Singapore.

He told me the last time he came down to Muar was in the 1950s when there were no bridges & he had to take a ferry to cross the river.

I told ESM that now we have 2 bridges & that the FOOD like our Asam Pedas Muo, Satay Pagi & Mee Bandung Muo have only gotten better.

Before borders closed due to COVID, many Singaporeans would drive down to my constituency for the food, heritage & culture. Can't wait for that to happen again.

I told ESM that my father used to take me to watch the national day parade & i used to see him from afar then. "Who's this tall man😆".
(p/s he is still as tall, sharp & witty)

As a Johorean, I would also get free access to MediaCorp channels like Channel 5 & Suria so i'd always see him speak when i was a kid.

Malaysians & Singaporeans are always stronger together.

A shared history, a shared culture & shared future.

Our relationship should never just be based on convenience, instead it should be based on Mutual trust & respect.

We are one big family afterall.

I look forward to hosting ESM Mr Goh & many other Singaporeans in my constituency Muar once border reopens!

「我是美國在台協會處長酈英傑。我常說，將美國和台灣緊密連結在一起的，其實是美台人民與人民之間的情誼。過去這一年，對整個國際社會來說，都是充滿挑戰的一年；因此，我特別感謝那些讓我的生活變得更美好、讓美台關係變得更茁壯的許多朋友。這一年來，我們一起合作，一起歡慶，一起哀悼，也一起取得許多成就。儘管我們不見得對每件事的看法都相同，我們仍然在相互尊重與共享價值觀所奠定的堅實基礎上，繼續尋找共通之處，並且追求美台的共同利益。我期待在2021年看到美台關係繼續成長茁壯。祝大家新年快樂。」

“This is AIT Director Brent Christensen. I have often said that the people-to-people ties are what truly bind the United States and Taiwan. As I reflect on a uniquely challenging year for the whole international community, I am grateful for the many people who have touched my life and made our relationship stronger. We have worked together, celebrated together, grieved together, and succeeded together. And while we have not always agreed, we have built on our strong foundation of mutual respect and shared values to find common ground and pursue our common interests. I look forward to seeing what 2021 will bring to this great friendship. Happy New Year.”

Hello my strawberry shortcakes,

You guys have been requesting this topic and it's all about the 'Friend Zone'. So today, we'll be discussing:

What's the Friend Zone?
How do you fall into it?
How do you know you're friend zoned?
How can you escape it?



This has to be the longest cold ever so excuse the sexy phlegm. It just won't go away grr.


Just want to also clarify, I know I'm no love expert. I just based some of my own experience and understanding along with research (amongst books and lots of friends and peers for extra opinions and knowledge) to share various points of view.



Being able to move on to a relationship is all about timing and chemistry. Realise you can't force both ways to feel mutual.

However, there may be ways that can trigger somebody to realise their feelings for you (if there are any). 



I believe a girl and a guy can't be just VERY VERY VERY good friends. Well they can be but what I'm trying to say is, there's always going to be some sort of attraction even if it's a very very very small amount (despite people admitting this or not).

I don't recommend confessing or doing anything drastic until you are more sure how he/she feels. That's just my choice though.

I would measure out the consequences (especially if you're afraid of ruining the friendship) before making the move so read the signs. Test the water before going for a swim. 

We're focusing on having her/him see you in a different light. Subtly move out of the friend zone and spark up a little electricity and curiosity focusing on little flirting techniques. 


I hope you find the video helpful. If you have any tips and ideas, please comment and share the love! 



Good luck everybody!



Much love, Bubz xx

[ 10年感情的道别 | Goodbye My 10 Years Relationship ]
10年真的不短，很遗憾无法一起走到最后。

求婚了，却早已错过应该发生的时间点。
面对瓶颈考验的爱情在挽救期中感性被理性打败了，写下句号。
我们分了。我们都很不舍，但确实分了。

很抱歉，令所有期待的家人朋友失望了。
这10年里她对我很好，无可挑剔；而我做不好的我全都承认，是我的理所当然及舒适心态导致了今天的所有，我诚心道歉。

对于一直关心我俩的亲朋好友，感恩过去所有的祝福，也谢谢这些年的见证。
对于曾煽动我们分手的朋友们，抱歉拖了那么久，往后不需煽动了。

我特别要感谢彼此的家人、爱我们的家人们。这些年让大家心中累计的担忧及不满实在不应该，让大家操心了，诚恳地鞠躬致歉。谢谢这些年的爱与包容，打从心里的感恩，谢谢。

在这里，至这位10年前为我化妆而邂逅的，10年来风雨不改以我为先的，让我在爱情里一夜长大的她 – Mey ，谢谢你一切付出、包容、体谅及信任，完整了我生活许多的缺失区块，也为我生命彩出了鲜艳的色彩。谢谢你总无条件地支持我每个决定，即使以世界为敌你还是站在我身旁。谢谢你无限的精神鼓励，让我即使在烂透的状态下也努力撑过去，因为我知道至少还有你这位铁粉的守候。万语千言在心中说不尽，我想你知道的。谢谢你，真心真心地谢谢你。正如我十年前为你写的歌 – “美丽意外“里的歌词，至今，我仍觉得遇见你是个美丽的意外，真的。

容我忍泪再次公开说，Mey, 我爱你。

面对10年感情的结束，难过是肯定的。
即使平时爱笑的我们，也为这次的句号流了好多公升的泪。但我们答应彼此会带着所有开心的记忆把对方放在心中一个特别的位置。换了身份，没了昵称，不管未来缘分如何，我们都会是彼此继续珍惜的那位。

最后，公开这首十年前写给她的歌，也是十年后我重新录制十周年版本向她求婚的作品。MV里记录了过去十年的精选画面，婚没求得成，但我们都认为这首歌是纪念这10年的最初；10年的最终，最佳的礼物，也要谢谢歌曲的幕后团队 ：佳旺 (金马旺) 的 编曲 / 制作 / 录音 /配唱 ，沁嘉 的 合音编写 / 合音 ， 文浩 的混音。他们是少数知道我求婚计划也期待着好消息的朋友。。。可惜让你们失望了，谢谢你们的一切付出与耐心，我都真心感激。

爱情其实只有你和我，但考虑到彼此有太多共同朋友，为了避免揣测还是决定做个交代。谢谢大家这十年的祝福。当你看到这贴文时我俩的脸书感情状态应该已经更新。

是很意外，连我俩都为这样的今天感到意外，如果是注定意外，至少让它是个 [美丽意外]，好吗？

爱要及时，记得好好珍惜依然在你身边的那位，衷心祝福大家。
缘起缘灭感恩一切，合十。

10 years, regret that we couldn’t make it till the end.

I proposed, but had missed the right timing to do it right.
After went through the consideration period, rational beat sentimental, it ended.
Yes, we broke up. It’s really hard to accept, but yes, we broke up.

Truly regret to all friends and families’ members who had expectation on us.For the past 10 years, she’s perfect. For all the wrong which I made, I’ll take all the blame. I’m truly sorry, for the relationship which I care so much.

To all friends who care about both of us throughout these 10 years, thanks for witnessing us.
To those who didn’t expect good ending, sorry for the long waiting.

I would like to specially thank both of our family’s members. I can understand all the worries and dissatisfactions throughout the years. Really shouldn’t allow those to happen. I Sincerely apologize. Sorry.

Hereby, I would like to thank her, the girl I crushed into when she did make up for me 10 years ago, the girl who always put me as priority for the past 10 years, the girl who used 10 years’ time to grew me up in the world of love – Mey , Thank you for everything, you completed a lot of my missing part in life and had brighten up my days with different colours. Thanks for always standing by my side although when the world disagree on me. Thanks for your bottomless mental support which let me went through lots of down time as I always know there’ll at least be a super fans forever, it’s you. As of now, I still feel like knowing you is 1 of the most beautiful accident in life, and you able to calmed me down whenever and wherever you were around. It’s more than words, I’m sure you knew it, thank you so much, sincerely.

Allow me to hold my tears and say this 1 more time openly, Mey, I love you, as always.

10 years long run coming to an end, for sure it’s really hurt and sad.
But we’ll promise to bring along all happy memories and place each other at a special point in our heart. You will always be a person that I care about.

Lastly, sharing out the song I wrote for her 10 years ago, and it’s being re-produced again into a 10th year anniversary version for my proposal purpose. The MV are made by all key moments we been through together. Although my proposal failed, but we do think it’s a best way to conclude and remember those 10 years, from the beginning to the end. Thanks to the song production team : Keon Chia (Golden Horse Award Winner 2020) for Music Arrangement, Produce, Recording, Vocal Guide. Thanks to Isabell Jia Jia for the background Vocal & Background Vocal Arrangement. Thanks to Haw Vee for the Mixing. They were the few who knew my proposal plan and awaiting the good news …. However, sorry to let you all down. Thanks to all the effort, it’s my honor to have you guys in this important journey and I deeply appreciate it in heart.

Love actually is just you & me, but we decided to explain about this to avoid any assumptions as we got too many mutual friends. Thanks to all lovely wishes for the past 10 years. When you see this post, I believe our relationship status on FB had changed.

Yes it’s really an accident to our relationship, even to ourselves. If it’s meant to be an accident, at least let it be a “Beautiful Accident”.

Always express your LOVE before too late and appreciate he/her who still together with you. Best wishes to everyone.

With Love, Sorry and Thanks.
