As good as it gets...

I had Teh Tarik with my journalist friend Bumper-To-Bumper at Mutiara Bangsar's Happening Mamak. She always has spicy stories to tell.

After my Teh Tarik with Bumper-To-Bumper and her colleague, I went to The Croppes in Bangsar, to do my hair. Felix is one of the few hairdressers I know who handles natural curls wonderfully. Not many hairdressers know how to handle my natural curls. My hair has a mind of its own. That's why I always go to him.

With my new coiffeur, I feel like going to some place to be seen. So I sat at The Strudels just across the street and sipped on my Vanilla Latte and Mango Tart. Mmmmmm delicious!

Suddenly, Medicine Man, my jealous ex-boyfriend called and wanted me to wait for him until he comes. While waiting, Leslean, Bernama's Klang Bureau Chief appeared and together with her friend, Izzaty, a journalist with The Star joined me for drinks. Girls Talk.

When Medicine Man appeared, I excused myself and joined him at Mahbub's. We had a long discussion about our situation. He can't trust me, and want to take time to do that. But he also wanted a cooling off period until January next year, and if we are still available then, we should reconsider marriage.

I said nothing. It doesn't make sense to me at all. Why is it so difficult to trust me. His ex-wife may be unfaithful, but why shouldn't he forget the past, move on, and realise that I am not like that. So, I told him, we are only friends. I don't want a cooling off period. Three break-ups in so short a time are more than I can handle. This is as good as it gets...

It is nicer to have someone who is hopeless in love with you, rather than being hopelessly in love with someone, and it is not what you hoped for it to be. Tell me, is it worth the emotional pain?
