Healing Co-Dependent Relationships
Relationship counsellors will tell you that the most common relationship dynamic they encounter is that of the co-dependent taker/caretaker.
Takers are people who tend to be self-centred, with an excessive need for attention and admiration. The taker attempts to control getting love, attention, approval or sex from others with anger, blame, violence, criticism, irritation, righteousness, neediness, invasive touch, invasive energy, incessant talking and/or emotional drama. In a relationship, takers operate from the belief that "you are responsible for my feelings of pain and joy. It is your job to make sure that I am okay".
Caretakers, conversely, operate from the belief that "I am responsible for your feelings. When I do it right, you will be happy and then I will receive the approval I need".Caretakers sacrifice their own needs and wants to take care of the needs and wants of others, even when others are capable of doing it themselves. Caretakers give to others from fear rather than love; in other words, they give to get.
Neither takers nor caretakers take responsibility for their own feelings and wellbeing. They often end up feeling angry, resentful, trapped, unappreciated, unseen, unloved, misunderstood, and/or unacknowledged. The problem is that takers and caretakers naturally find each other because of their need to feed on each others' weaknesses.
So if you're in a taker/caretaker relationship, what can you do to heal it?
Well, relationships heal when individuals heal. When each partner works on reducing their own selfish needs, their relationship system heals. When each person learns to take full personal responsibility for his or her own feelings of pain and joy, they stop pulling on each other and blaming each other. When each person learns to fill themselves with love and share that love with each other, instead of always trying to get love, the relationship heals.
Learning how to take responsibility for your own feelings is one of the essential ingredients in creating a healthy relationship. This means learning to be conscious of what you are feeling and being open to learning about what you are doing to create your own feelings, instead of being a victim and believing that others are causing your feelings. Your feelings come from how you treat yourself and others, from what you tell yourself and what you believe about yourself and others, rather than from others behaviour. Blaming others for your feelings will always lead to major relationship problems.
Why not start today by taking your eyes off your partner and putting them squarely on yourself? In reality, you are the only one you actually have control over. You are the only one you can change. Only when you change will the relationship get better.
Our relationship is currently in this situation...maybe we shld never been together...but as promise i will give u the last chance...however...i hope u know wat to do...

The Koi, The Bluefish And The Atlantic Salmon
Until today, who you are has been shaped mainly by other people – your family, teachers, friends, and culture. From today, who you will become will be shaped by the choices you make.
I see three paths ahead of you – those of the Koi, the Bluefish and the Atlantic Salmon.
1. The koi
Of all the fishes in the world, the
Koi has the most comfortable life. When young, it is carefully selected and bred for its beauty. It then spends its entire life in a sheltered environment, living in order to be admired by others. The Koi is also fragile – change the water by a bit, and the Koi perishes. People who are like the Koi play it safe and do not venture out; they thrive in the established system.
2. The bluefish
Some years ago, I went deep sea fishing in the Atlantic Ocean. I caught a
bluefish. It was not a large fish, yet it put up a strong fight. And when I reached inside its mouth to take out the hook, it bit right through my thick gloves into my finger, almost biting it off. The captain said to me: "You must be a first-timer at ocean fishing. Ocean fishes like the bluefish are tough and fierce. Have you been fishing only in small ponds?"
People who are like the Bluefish take risks and embrace life, seizing the abundant opportunities of the vast ocean. While others are exhausted by a changing environment, Bluefish types thrive in it. This is the path of the worldly Bluefish. Home can be anywhere – and perhaps, nowhere.
3. the atlantic salmon.
There is the path of the Atlantic Salmon. Born in freshwater streams, it heads out to the open seas in young adulthood. After maturing in the ocean, the
Atlantic Salmon returns to where it was born, to breed, and then heads out again. It makes this journey between its home and the open sea several times over its lifetime.
People who are like the Atlantic Salmon are at ease moving between the old and the new, between the familiar and the unfamiliar, between what is comfortable and what is challenging. While they seize opportunities to grow in the global arena, they understand the true meaning of home. Home is not just anywhere. Home is where the heart is. Home is about identification and commitment, about family and nation.

army life!!!
looking back, wa...finally i am almost 12 yrs old...maturing into an adult soon liao...going to face the reality of the cruel working society...but it will be 5 or 6 yrs down the road as i will be going to NS on sep 13 2007 and later going to pursue an degree in business(accountancy) in NUS...finally...my dream of going into an local uni has been realised...but still quite skeptical on going to an local uni...cause in terms of worldwide recongition, it still may not be as gd as those aus uni...moreover...i am going to take more yrs to complete my degree as compared to my peers...lol....this is so ironic...haizz...well..going into a local uni has its advantages too...like going into a local firm would be easier for mi..perhaps..but still if i dun get a gd degree or honours...it would defeat the purpose...and i dun think my biz course in NUS has a direct honours programme...so in order to get into an honours..i will have to do extremely welll..which means another few yrs of hard for mi to go through..haizzz...another few yrs of hardship before i step into the real world...
remembering how badly i did for my first sem scoring a gpa of 2.9...luckily...i manage to push my gpa up to 3.5 in 2 yrs..last sem not counted as i was in france and my gpa remained stagnant...really went through a lot to get it....and of course i am glad to be marginally pushed into the diploma with merit name list...i was considered really lucky...the list came out when i was in france and i din see my name...they put it in last min...was really a close shave...lol...all those hard work i put in gain mi a min on staGE...how pathetic right...seriously...i always think that is those hard work worth it...knowing that i sacrifice so many things...but still i did learn a lot...
my dad say something contridicting recently...lol...he say even with a lot of money...but if u r not happy...and dun have a happy family...its still not complete...he say take things easily...lol..he would actually say that to mi???he was the one telling mi not to submit to fate...everything i want muz work hard to earn it and i will get it...now he is really making mi confused...but i guess i muz be strong...as compeitition drove mi to wat i become of....i love compeitition....without them...i will really slack down..i know it...so i need compeitition...as i can win in it...without compeitition..life is boring...but compeitition brings stress...and may cause my love ones to be unhappy...haizz..dunno wat to do man.....ahahaz
finally...i hhave decided to go for the graduation ceremony...lol...i seriously dunnno who i still recognise when i go for the ceremony....i dun have muxh friends in NYP also...lol..watever la..go liao then say....ahahaz....
