I saw two email saying about meaningful things and i like to share with you all here.


Love ... it's a kind of feeling that most of us can't really control.
Sometimes it just happen when you least expected it to happen.

What Is Love?

It is a mystery why we fall in love.
It is a mystery how it happens.
It is a mystery when it comes.

It is a mystery why some love grows
and it is a mystery why some love fails.
You can analyze this mystery and
look for reasons and causes,
but you will never do anymore
than take the life out of the experience.

Sometimes, hopefully at least once in your life -
the gift of love will come to you in full flower,
and you will take hold of it
and celebrate it in all inexpressible beauty.

This is the dream we all share.
More often, it will come and take hold of you,
celebrate you for a brief moment, then move on.

When people fall out of love,
they want answers where there are no answers.
They want to know what is wrong
in them that makes the other person no
longer love them, or they try to get their lover to change,
thinking that if some small things were different,
love would bloom again.

They blame their circumstances
and say that if they go far away and start
a new life together,their love will grow.
They try anything to give meaning to what has happened.

If you find yourself in love with someone
who does not love you, be gentle with yourself.
There is nothing wrong with you.
Love just didn't choose to rest in
the other person's heart.

If you find someone else in love
with you and you don't love him,
feel honored that love came and called at your door,
but gently refuse the gift you cannot return.
Do not take advantage; do not cause pain.

How you deal with love is how you deal with you,
and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys,
even if our lives and ways are different.

If you fall in love with another,
and he falls in love with you,
and then love chooses to leave,
do not try to reclaim it or to assess blame.
Let it go .....

There is a reason and there is a meaning.
You will know in time.

Remember that you don't choose love.
Love chooses you.

The secret of love is that it is a gift,
and that it can be made to grow only by giving it away.
Love always has been and always will be a mystery.

Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life.

If you keep your heart open, it will come again!

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said I love you but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie."What's wrong, are you well," she asked? My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news."I thought that it would be pleasant evening with you," I responded. "Just the two of us."She thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I would like that very much."

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house,I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's."I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed, "she said, as she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our meeting". We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady.

After we sat down, I had to read the menu.Large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips."It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said."Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I responded.During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation - nothing extraordinary, but catching up on recent events of each other's life.We talked so much that we missed the movie.As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you." I agreed.

"How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home."Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't do anything for her.Some time later,

I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined.An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son."At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: "I LOVE YOU!" and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve.

Nothing in life is more important than God and your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some other time."

By the way i think i will change another blogskin cos i hear from my librarian that her mum also use the same blogskin as me. -_-''

does that mean that my taste so aunite? -_-'' will find one asap

Today has been quite a hectic day. first thing in the morning when i come to the office i have heard that some student's art piece are missing and to make the thing worse, the art pieces are for their art exam and the lecturer has yet to mark and grade them. the students are very upset and demand what has happen.

we have check the CCTV and found out that some of the part time students are suspicious so the outcome is yet to know have to wait for my colleague to do the investigation. i sometimes wonder, this is a school for the adults to study yet these things still may happen. it's such a shame that some of the adults steal things for their own uses even up to now. just hope that they will know that it is wrong and be responsible for what they did. i know that books that are relevant and sacred in the library is limited but they also ought to spare a thought for others. if you want the book then buy it. maybe the price may be much cheaper than you expected. i recently help a group of students to buy a resource book which is helpful to them. And guess how much is the book? $ 60? $70? the original price is $70 and i only get for $35 per book! 35!!! wherer can you get such a offer and it's half price of the original of the book.

so i just hope that they can ask if they want to buy and not resort to stealing. if cannot afford, at least inform us and we will see how to help them right? there's a saying: tian wu jue neng zhi ru right?

enough of saying that. today i have been doing quite a number of books. have to catalogue them in the system. and i have yet to do one-tird of it becos of the previous incident that i mention. not to mention that i have alot of photocopying to do for the lecturer.

to add on, last night i have spend 2 and a half hours writing minutes for yesterday's meeting and i dun understand why i have spend such a long time when the format is there le haha. too long never touch typing thing le haha. tata

knocking off soon... =p

New Skin uploaded.

seein my blog sian le then i decide to change the skin. haha also see huai en and betsy change so also wan to change haha. my frequency to my own blog is like once a week while i see others like almost every day. hai so loyal to other blog but not myself. haha.

yesterday went for japanese course and it's as if i'm in a train, the teacher taught so much that i got blurred half way. to be frank, i never thought that it will be so taxing learning this jap compared to the one i learn in poly. though poly got quiz all that but what we learn we keep on practice but for this course no loh, every week learn new thing so kind of hard to absorb. last week studies didnt go home and revise and in the end i forget some le hai. feel like other class mates got study what have been taught, so i also have to improve le. must jia you so that i can be promoted to E2.

mooncake festival coming le so have to buy mooncake to eat. the long waiting for my black sesame mooncake from shangri-la is here. but the pice is more expensive now. it cost 39.80 for 4 normal size mooncake which equals to 10 per piece hai... must get dear to buy for me haha...

sept is ending soon and soon the driving test will be here. fail twice and get very demoralised dunno what happen, is it i think too much or is my over-confidence make me got killed by the test? i dunno just hope this will turn out fine and keeping my finger crossed. one more hour till i knock off. so jia you bah. haha

Abandon my blog for a long time now coming back once in a blue moon. haha =p

last nite went out with dear for shopping and for my lesson. went for my first japanese lesson, it's quite ok and the teacher quite friendly. though i learnt before but it seems like i return back to my teacher le haha. and also the way they pronounce is different too. wonder is it becos of the teacher themselves or have one teacher mispronounce haha i dunno.. but it's quite fun. that's a aunties sitting beside me at first was ok but when it come to rehearse what welearnt with each other i have to rehearse with her. hai and she will mispronounce and also say loudly. hai. haha

in the end dear has to wait for me for 3 hours. told him to go walk walk but he dun like to shop alone, ask him go home later meet me again then so ma fun. so in the end he just wait loh. ask him to go class with me and study together he dun wan, say will distracted and in the end leave me alone. all others in my class mostly come in pairs, like sisters, frens... unlike me hai...

then after the class, we went to shop and eat at pepper lunch. first time eat there and it's not bad but just a bit ex loh. (cos i'm broke le.. all the expenses is from my pay. didnt get any $$ from mum other than driving then others have to pay myself. like transport, phone bill, insurance and my jap course fee. ) So many to spend on yet so little money been earned. and i dun save much worse still haha...

went to taka after that and guess what i saw there? HIPPOS! and i drag dear down to see the hippo. hear from the staff that is pre-launch sales so if didnt buy now hard to buy in the future so i buy alot. spend about $70++ on it haha so happy. next time will put the photo in if i manage to remenber. i got a couple hippo piggy bank, key chain and a hippo cushions. at first wanted to buy the photo frame and stuff toys as well, but i feel that i dun wan so many of the same variety of the hippo so i turn dear down. i know he know that i like hippo alot and willing to spend on me but is too ex and i dun need so much. i once told him that if one day got one guy buy me a big big hippo (like those really big bear) i will marry the guy, so he saw two there and say if he buy for me will i marry him so i say is too small haha. cos it is really smaller than those i want and plus it's already cost 85 dollars so i think not very worth it haha... so that goes his chance cos singapore's hippo fant shop that sell the baby clothes have closed down (if i not wrong) so there is no other places that sell hippos haha.

after that we even went to J8 cos i wan to buy file for my jap class then in the end buy foolscap paper as well. alot of things in our hands yet we still go marketing in the NTUC supermarket. by the time we come out, the hands are so full that we cant even hold hands and the thing keep hitting us haha.

no choice and i scare later have to squeeze in the bus all that with these things so take cab home. really is a symptons i seen. when you need a cab, there's no where to been seen. when you dun need one, there is lots of it. -_-'' that's life (i guess)


enjoy my day and i guess it's the first ever time that we buy so many things together. haha cya
