ReacH OuT . . .

today we snucked out from opd for a while to attend the assembly (yup hosp even has those things) since we were going to be introduced as new members of the staff, or at least our pics were.

so anyway, in we went into the hall and even got some nuts as door gift. not bad eh.. they were courtesy of the paediatric unit who were in charge of that monthly event. they even had a choir going and had the hall decorated with bright flags (for merdeka), ketupats and deepavali designs dotted with candles. what's the nice colourful decoration on the floor called again? can't remember. always saw it in imu though... anyway, they had them there too!

they should this really touching short slide show on the special children in the wards, on how some chidlren could grow up playing happily, while others had to go through so much pain. it really saddened me to see them labouring so hard to breathe.. breathing with all their might with all those numerous tubes stuck to their chest. or to see those little babies with their bodies all distorted and twisted like they got fixed in all the wrong directions. it really makes me so grateful that at least i can walk, talk, do whatever i want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. what specially touched me was their quote of hippocrates at the end...

"we cure. sometimes. we treat. often. we comfort. alwayz..."

and that's why we should reach out, and continue doing so.
we might lose steam or energy after some time.
but their smile will always keep us going.

so reach out...
you never know how many lives will never be the same.
because of your little touch.

sometimes i think...
we need them more than they need us.
coz they teach us so much more...
about courage, about how precious the gift of life is.

they teach us how to be thankful.
and in discerning that,
our life gains meaning.

blog hopping

i don't usually do that, in fact, wasn't really intending to do that. but somehow, some titles caught my attention, then some names i know.. and it really opened my eyes. gave me some new insight.

sometimes i'm so caught up in my own slugging/joys/sorrow.. i forget that everyone also have their own story to share, their sadness behind their smile. the world is filled with all kinds of people with all kinds of experiences. there's much to learn. and sometimes you find that you're not alone. some have been thru the same things and are still surviving. and sometimes when u read, u get a glimpse of their feelings, you feel their pain, you laugh along with them, u see a chapter of life unfolding, and u see them grow, even when they might not even realise it themselves. and in looking at their lifes and insight, u grow too. it's like looking in through a peephole and seeing bits of life sometimes similar, sometimes different from what you might ever experience.

here are some of the stuff which left an impact on me...

The Sun is Smiling~ by Phaik Leng

Of the many departments in the hospital, I always thought that maternity ward is the happiest place to be in. Over the visiting hours, you will see a vast of smiling faces. And these are usually the new parents or grandparents, or even close family friends. Every pair of eyes would be admiring their new little angels, all cocooned up in little blankets to keep them warm.

But, I also learnt that the happiest ward might also be a sad place for some. It was on a sunny afternoon when the ward nurse handed me a prescription for a young Indian lady. The doctor had endorsed only a list of medications for the mother, and none for the baby. In the midst of the chatters and laughters of other happy parents in the ward, I spotted the Indian lady whose prescription was in my hand. She was sitting alone on a bench, facing the small garden in between the wards. I approached her, wanting her to acknowledge my presence, but at the same time, fearing that i might be disturbing her from her deep thoughts. She seemed upset while looking at the bag of medications in my hands. I said no words as I sat down next to her. As though talking to a complete stranger, she shared a few words, "She's my second baby, and like the first one, she did not survive immediately after birth." My heart cried out for her when i listened to her. The tired eyes, the weary mood, the wrinkled face - all of which showed me how hard it was to be a mother and to conceive a baby. As I was still lost for words, she continued, "But you know, my dear, life has to go on. My babies have just gone to heaven early. And, I'm now seeing the sun smiling anew. Have you noticed it today?"

I didn't answer her. For I was dumbfounded and amazed by her spirit. She was only 32, not much older than I am; but much wiser, much mellower, much stronger in faith. I dispensed the medications to her, still overwhelmed by what she has just said. Her words echoed in my inner ear - "...I'm now seeing the sun smiling anew..." She thanked me with a wide smile, and as I left the bench, I finally told her, "Yes I have seen the sun smiling. I have seen it in your smile. I should thank you for that." I came home that day, with one message sent across my mind - at any moment of life when all we see is just darkness, start searching for the light. It is there, it's just how we perceive it. Let it shine unto us. Let it show us the way, so that we will not feel at lost.


Better in time~
It's been the longest winter
without you I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through
Going coming thought I heard a knock
Who's there no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gon' be ok

[Chorus:] Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings
If I'm dreaming don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that's the past
I believe it And I know that time will heal it
If you didn't notice boy you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gon' be ok

[Chorus:] Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is
I'll be fine without you Yes I will

[Chorus: x2] Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

The Climb
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,

Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

but I Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking

The pain I'm knowing
But these are the moments that I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?

During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, "How do I know if I married the right person?"

I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is that your husband?"

In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?"

Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind.

Here's the answer.

EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience.

You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love... Because it's happening TO YOU. People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the imagery of that _expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling is love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls

become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work,a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage.

It lies within it.

I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could.

And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the _expression "the labor of love."

Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your

relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable...you can "make" love.

Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... Not just a feeling.

"The true purpose of having problems in life, is that it makes you learn because nobody learns from a bed of roses..... No words of others should bring me down like this. Because if people say things that are meant to hurt you, then these people shouldn't matter at all in this place.

If you love, you will get hurt. And you will only learn if the hurt is great enough. It's like, it's easier to see the light at the end of the road if it's dark enough..... If you give up on yourself, then you won't be able to see or hear anyone in the crowd. And if you give up on your life, then life will not go on for you." - Yannee

the secret

it borders on atheist beliefs, but i still find that there are things to learn and apply into our lives.

the secret talks about the Laws of Attraction where everything is made up from energy, and you attract energy to you based on your feelings and thoughts. basically, this is what i got from the 1.5 hr movie:

> focus on what you want, not what you do not want.

> you are the masterpiece of your own mind.

> what you focus on (thoughts, feeling) is what will be attracted to you. you create your own universe as you go along.

> all that we are is the result of what we have thought. be grateful. visualise. the 'feeling' is the secret, not just positive thinking. 'feel' what you want. feel good.

> imagination is the preview of life's coming attraction.

> decide on what you want, believe it is possible for you. visualise having it, feel it, then be grateful for what you already have.

> you can't expect others to enjoy your own company if you don't enjoy your own company. treat yourself the way you want others to treat you. you are the solution to you! love yourself. have a healthy respect for yourself.

> laughter really is the best medicine!

> men becomes what he thinks about. focus on what you want, not what you don't want.

> whether you think you can or you can't, either way you are right – Henry Ford.

Welcome to planet earth. There is nothing you cannot be. Decide on what you want, then focus upon it. For it is through focusing upon it that you will attract it.

Feel good!^^

人的2%不足

每个生命都有2%的不足
因为上天是公平的，他给人这2%不足
让人在自己的人生旅途中填补它。

所以朋友你不用羡慕，妒忌
那些生活比你好，各方面条件比你优越的人，
他们在别的方面并不一定优越于你。

每个人都是不一样的，但每个人都有2%的不足
他们的悲伤你不知道

因此不要让他们看到你的哀伤
用心去填补自己那2%的不足。

the power of thought~

you are what you think you are, are you not?

if you always think that you will fail, most probably you will! coz you have already lost heart from the beginning.

on the contrary, if you think that you can do it, you most probably will too! coz you will be actively thinking of ways to make that a reality.

so, rather than always moaning and groaning about my weaknesses or troubles, why not i take constructive measures against whatever my complains are? if the subject is hard, the subject is hard. so just work harder right? if i always complain that i'm fat etc, then just go exercise right? the solutions to our problems are already there waiting for us to go for it. instead, due to our own laziness, we just sit there and do what we do the best - complain.

i believe that destiny is mine to decide. do you?

a quote from francis' msn shoutout~

To doubt is worse than to have lost; And to despair is but to antedate those miseries that must fall on us.

lucas scott once said...

As happens sometimes a moment settled and hovered
and remained for much more than a moment.
And sound stopped and movement stopped
for much, much more than a moment.
And then the moment was gone.

something a friend emailed to me that i find quite meaningful..

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
>When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.

>When someone is in your life for a REASON,
>it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
>They have come to assist you through a difficulty,
>to provide you with guidance and support,
>to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
>They may seem like a godsend and they are.
>They are there for the reason you need them to be.
>Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
>this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
>Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
>Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
>What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled,
>their work is done.
>The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.>>>>

>Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
>because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
>They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
>They may teach you something you have never done.
>They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
>Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.*>*>>>>

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons,
>things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
>Your job is to accept the lesson,
>love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other
>relationships and areas of your life.
>It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.>>*>>

Thank you for being a part of my life,
>whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.*

metamorphosis

life is a struggle,
but we emerge stronger and more beautiful...

Who moved my cheese???

A remarkable book by Dr Spencer Johnson full of insight and a different perspective of life altogether.

# # #

I learnt that….

Sometimes things change and they are never the same again. That’s life. Life moves on, we should too.

We must finally be able to laugh at ourselves and what we have been doing wrong, let go and move on.

When we are afraid things are going to get worse if we don’t do something, it can prompt us into action. But if we are too afraid to do anything, that is not good.

The sooner we get out of our comfort zone and adapt to change, the easier things become. But, better late than never.

However uncomfortable the search for cheese may be, at least it is better than staying in the cheeseless situation. Take control, rather than let things happen to us.

Let go and trust what lies ahead for us, even though we do not know exactly what it is. Don’t be held captive by our own fear.

Don’t always think that change will lead to something worse. Change can lead to something better too!

What you are afraid of is never as bad as what you imagine. The fear you build up in your mind is worse than the situation that actually exists.

When you change what you believe, you change what you do. You can believe that a change will harm you and resist it. Or you can believe that finding new cheese will help you and embrace the change.

There is always new cheese out there whether you recognize it at that time or not. You will be rewarded with it when you go past your fear and enjoy the adventure.

# # #

I found my cheese, I thought I would last forever, but it didn’t. When my cheese was moved, I became depressed, sad, I just froze there, like Hem and Haw. However I want to be like Haw instead of Hem. I’ve run through the maze before, I can do it again in search of new and better cheese.

# # #

‘Life is no straight and easy corridor along which we travel free and unhampered, but a maze of passages, through which we must seek our way, lost and confused, now and again checked in a blind alley.

But always, if we have faith, a door will open for us, not perhaps one that we ourselves would ever have thought of, but one that will ultimately prove good for us.’

A.J. Cronin

Troubles in life

When I went to the camp in subang, I learnt that it is normal for our life to have troubles. It happens to everybody. It’s normal!
What is important is how we face it and solve it. That is what makes everyone different. Problems in life are just challenges that can mould our character to become better.

Positive or negative words

Recently I heard about a Japanese scientist who did an experiment on the effect of positive and negative words on Water!! Two bottles of identical water, except that one was labeled with positive words while the other was labeled with negative words. For one month, the words were said to the bottle of water over and over again.

After one month, the water was crystallized and the crystals compared. The water which had positive remarks showed good and nice crystals while the water which suffered from negative remarks showed crystals which were fragile and not nice.

Even the same words in different languages showed results of different looking crystals.

Is that amazing or what?! But I find it a bit hard to believe, since water is quite dead. How can it react to our words? I wanted to check it out but I forgot the name of the Japanese scientist. He wrote a book on this, in fact. And we can actually try it out on rice, since rice contains high water content. But we must follow the standardization in the book. The rice shows a lot of difference, as the rice undergoing the positive treatment will only ferment nicely while the rice undergoing the negative treatment will turn bad and stinky. Some people actually tried it and I saw the picture of the product.

Will our words really have an impact on anything? Or on our life?

Think about those people who scold children ‘stupid’ everytime. Those poor kids.
I remember when I was young I always scolded my older brother ‘go and die’ when we quarreled. Well, he did die. Of course, not to scare you all, maybe it’s just coincidence. But, well, it wouldn’t hurt to say good things rather than bad things right?

It is better to be a blessing than a curse.

Are we happy during rain or shine?

A lady told her pastor that she was miserable all year long.

Were her sons in trouble? He asked.

No. both her sons were good and filial she said. One son sold dried meat ‘bah gua’ while one sold umbrellas. When it was raining, she thought of her son who sold dried meat and worried that his meat won’t be able to dry. In that case, his business will be affected and he may even go bankrupt!! So she worried all day and prayed for the rain to stop.

After half a year, there was a change in season, and the rain stopped. It became a time of drought. This time, she worried bout her other son who sold umbrellas. With such hot weather, no one will buy umbrellas. Then his company will collapse. What will happen to her son? Her grandchildren?? Then she prayed for the rain to come again. And when the rain did come, she worried bout her ‘bah gua’ son again. And so it went on, leaving her a miserable woman whole year long.

The pastor said, when it rains, you should think about your son who sells umbrellas. Think about how good his business is as everybody will need umbrella during that monsoon season and be thankful. When the rain stops and the weather becomes dry, think of your other son, whose meat will dry quickly. Hence his business will be good and you will be happy.

This just shows that happiness is by our own choice. It is in how we see things, our outlook in life. If we choose to be more positive, our life will also brighten up. =)

post from bulletin – guy’s point of view

You might agree with
it, but when it actually happens 96%
of girls dont realize it 'til it is
too late and that guy who did it is so
frustrated that he has moved on to
someone who will take notice.

From a guys point of view:

We don't care if you talk to other
guys.

We don't care if you're friends with
other guys.

But when you're sitting next to us, and
some random guy walks into the room and
you jump up and tackle him, without
even introducing us, yeah, it pisses
us off.

It doesn't help if you sit there and
talk to him for ten minutes without
even acknowledging the fact that we're
still there.

We don't care if a guy calls you, but
at 2 in the morning we do get a little
concerned.

Nothing is that important at 2 a.m.
that it can't wait till the morning.

Also, when we tell you you're pretty/
beautiful/ gorgeous/cute/stunning, we
freaking mean it.

Don't tell us we're wrong.

We'll stop trying to convince you.

One of the sexiest thing about a girl
is her confidence.
Yeah, you can quote me.

Don't be mad when we hold the door
open.
Take Advantage of the mood i'm in.

let us pay for you! dont "feel bad"
about it

We enjoy doing it. It's expected.

Smile and say "thank you."

Kiss us when no one's watching.

If you kiss us when you know somebody's
looking, we'll be more impressed.

You don't have to get dressed up for
us.

If we're going out with you in the
first place, you don't have to feel
the need to wear the shortest skirt
you have or put on every kind of
makeup you own.

We like you for who you are and not
what you are.

honestly, i think a girl looks more
beautiful when she's just in her pj's.
or my tshirt and boxers, not all
dolled up

Don't take everything we say seriously.

Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the
beauty in it.

Don't get angry easily.

Stop using magazines/media as your
bible.

Don't talk about how hott Morris
Chesnutt, Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney
is in front of us.

It's boring, and we don't care. You
have girlfriends for that.

Whatever happened to the word
"handsome"/"beautiful"

Girls, I cannot stress this enough:if
you aren't being treated right by a
guy, dont't wait for him to
change.ditch him.
sorry,,disgrace to the male population
ass and find someone who will treat you
with utter respect.

Someone who will honor your morals.

Someone who will make you smile when
you're at your lowest.

Someone who will care for you even when
you make mistakes.

Someone who will love you, no matter
how bad you make them feel, or what
you do.

Someone who will stop what theyre doing
just to look you in the eyes....and say
"i love you" ..and actually mean it.

Give the nice guys a chance

Guys repost this if you agree

Girls repost this if you think it's
cute

Every Guy who isn't a jerk will agree
with this, so we hope that all the
girls that read this will repost this

Tips for the less experienced:

*Holdin Hands
Girls :If you want to hold his hand,
gently bump into it a couple of
times.
Guys : Grab it if it happens more than
once.

*Cuddling
Girls : When you want to cuddle with
him, tell him you're cold
Guys : Automatically move closer to
her.

*Movies
Girls : During a movie, if he puts his
arm around you, tilt your head on his
shoulder
Guys : Lift her chin up and kiss her.

*Loving each other
Guys : When she tells you she loves
you,
look deep into her eyes, give her a
peck
on the lips, and tell her you love her
too... And mean it.

*Laying below the stars
Girls : When you're both laying under
the stars, put your head on his chest
and close your eyes as you listen to
his steady heart beat
Guys : Whisper in her ear and link your
hands with hers.

the most wonderful valentine~

i believe it is not in material presents,
but rather,
seeing your loved one rush back to a waiting you after his meeting
cooking a loving meal to dine together in the warm comfort of home
the warm, happy feeling when two people are together
getting up earlier to prepare breakfast
a protective hand over your shoulder in the crowded train
having someone worry when the queue at the ladies is long
the small gestures that show that he cares or worries bout you
being able to choose new clothes together
sharing a meal together
walking home together
trying out new clothes together
the way you just look at each other and smile
or being at ease with each other and doing some normal activities
rushing home to deliver lunch for a hungry someone
or even just an indirect acknowledgement that you are someone special to him

valentine's day is not feb 14
if you love each other
i really believe now, that
everyday can be valentine's day

i had a chance to have 3 of such days
almost perfect, just with some slight disturbances in the middle
but i'm glad i sorted out my problems so that it did not spoil the rest of our time together

there is a saying:
快乐是属于那些，会把快乐放大，把问题缩小，的人。

不要想太多，真的会开心点。因为很多时候语气不好只是因为累。
人在身边时就看到很清楚。不在身边时，就要懂得相信他。
这就是基本的原则吧。

快乐是在自己的手中的。
如果你选择快乐
你就真的会快乐。 =）

the cave

one fine day i saw a most adorable puppy in my whole entire life. it had soft brown eyes, a kind nature and was as charming as could be. just playing with the puppy melted my heart into puddles and puddles of blood. one day, the puppy suddenly fell sick. i was worried sick, but there was nothing much i could do. even the vet could not tell what was wrong with my dear puppy. i tried my best to shower dear puppy with lotz of TLC. and it seemed to touch puppy's heart.

SUDDENLY...

one day.. puppy ran away into the woods..
i followed and followed, trying to find puppy. sometimes i could see puppy from afar. sometimes i lost track of puppy. sometimes puppy ignored me and slept and slept. finally puppy disappeared into a dak and scary cave..

i was left alone and floundering outside, wondering what was wrong with puppy, worrying that puppy would fall even more ill, worrying that puppy did not want me around anymore..

i waited and waited for days on end. to no avail. worries were my constant companions. fears flooded my dreamz. tears seemed glued to my face. i couldn't seem to shake them loose. and the wait continued..

i couldn't take it any longer..

or i will die!!!

at least i thought so.

so one day after so many days, i knocked at the cave opening...

the sleeping puppy just opened one eye and glared at me. however, undauted, i ventured one step forward into the cave.

i forgot the most important rule!!! any girl who walks into the cave will die a most terrible death!!!

anyway, i wasn't dead yet. so i walked in and started talking to dear puppy. however, dear puppy wastn't at all polite and only grunted in the correct places. at last, I COULD'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!! i asked........

i asked what was bothering puppy. Oops! wrong question!
puppy immediately morphed into a most fearsome dragon and blow mouthful after mouthful of fire at me, the fire so strong that it completely blew me out of the cave and out of the woods. wow, it was so great the whole of the woods burnt down. so now it's just a lone fearsome cave surrounded by a blackened area.

oh ya. what became of me? i turned into a roasted turkey.

and now, with my poor scorched fingers, or what's left of them anyway, i type what i learnt to anyone who cares to learn..

never ever venture into the cave.

just let them rot there, for all i care.

if you read john gray's book you will understand.

smile!!

笑一笑，
没什么事情过不了。 =）

stuff tv teaches

saw on tv yesterday, some actor lecturing on love to his son.
hmm.. what did he say??
he said, it doesn't mean that you gotta always be with the person you love. it's enough that you keep them in your heart.

~爱一个人不一定要在他们身旁，把他们收在心里就好。。。 ~

其实爱又是什么？是拥有吗？我们又怎么懂那真正是爱呢？
我们所认识的爱，就是从电视机，故事书，看到的爱。那些又是爱吗？难道爱是对那些衡量的？
我认为不是。。

love is a fickle thing
it comes and goes as it pleases
leaving confusion along its path
it offers no lifelong guarantee
yet requires you to give your fragile heart
sometimes it brings a smile
yet at other times it brings more heartache
but happiness is a choice
just like sadness is our choice
i don't know what my life holds
but they say God gives us only this much obstacles
knowing that we have the strength to overcome it
what can't kill you can only make you stronger

i always see this phrase:
Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like
because the one you like will leave you for the one he loves
but then, well, what if you are just the one he likes
one day he will leave you for the one he loves
so what will you do then?
will life lose all its meaning and glow?
hmm, well, for me, it most probably will.

i also often see this phrase:
it is better to have loved and lost
than to have never loved at all

life is one tricky thing
there's no knowing what may come next
but i suppose if this is my life
the very least i can do
is to face it with a smile~
