Happy Cupid Mama

I had been thru couples of months taking courses to enhanced my match making skills and to understand human's feeling about love.


I, finally awarded and certified as a Dating Practitioner to provide personalised dating services by SDU - MCYS Singapore.


I liked to share with you this tropic of Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love


There are 3 interconnected components:


Intimacy, Passion and Decision/commitment.

These components can be thought of as forming a triangle.

Intimacy component refers to the close, bonded feelings that exist within loving relationships.
Passion component referes to the drives that lead to physical attraction and sexual acts.
Decision/commitment component refers to the decision to lvoe someone and to maintain that love.

By combining these 3 components, Sternberg came up with 8 types of loving. These type are listed below :

Nonlove (Absence of all three components.)

Liking (Occurs when we just have intimacy, such as friendship.)

Infatuated Love ( Occurs when we only have passion, such as in love at first sight. This type appears quickly and disappears almost as fast.)

Empty Love (Occurs when we only have commitment, and is oftern the residual love that remains once the other types have faded.)

Romantic Love (On the other hand, is the combination of intimacy and passion. In this way, it involves both liking and physical desire for the other person.

Companionate Love (Is a combination of commitment and intimacy and oftern occurs in the later stages of a relationship after the passion has faded.)

Fatuous Love (Is a combination of passion and commitment, therefore lacking intimacy.)

Consumate Love (Is a combination of all three components. This is our society's ideal type of love, because it involves close friendship, physical urges and a strong commitment.)

Hope the above could help you in analyising the type of love you are in now.

"Don't find love, let love find you. That's why it's called falling in love, because you don't force yourself to fall, you just fall."

Enjoy it.

Wedding bell ringing

July 5, 2008 (Saturday)

Today is my husband's close friend Charlie's daughter, LuLu's wedding.

It was held at a 5 star hotel. When I enter the foyer of the ballroom there is a long queue at the entrance. Both myself and my husband was wondering why such a long queue. We then moved forward to see what is happening. And we reliased that every guest need to take a photo and bring the photo to the reception desk to sign in. We then follow the processed

We had meet up with couples of old friends and mingled with other guests at the cocktail reception at the ballroom's foyer.

By 8pm the ballroom door opens, all guest enter and be seated.

As we enter the ballroom, I noticed that the theme for the night was totally difference from other wedding function that I attended before.

All tables was lighted up with candlelight and flowers everywhere, there is this small blue spot light shine on center of the each table and it really bring up the romantic atmosphere and you feel that the whole place is full of love and happiness.

There are sitting arrangement on every table with specific name placed on the table. I then realised that it's western dinner not chinese dinner. ( no sharkfin soup or abolone ..ha.ha).

On every table there are a piece of chololate (bettle shape) and a small bottle of virgin oil (olive oil) ? for every guest.

It was a 4 course dinner and the food was so good, yummy.... Main course is either chicken or fish and free flow of dessert..... wow ...

As usual during the middle of dinner, traditional of Yum Seng ... and then followed by speech from the family members.

They then had a first dance by the newly wed couple. The newly wed couple invited guest to join in the dance.

The music was so romantic, the guest start dancing the whole night.

Those that they not dancing are enjoying the free flow desserts and you can see on everyone face are full of joy and laughter.

The whole function end closed to mdinight ... where everyone slowly moving out the ballroom.

Wow this is my most enjoyable wedding party.
