The Wonder... Wondering Boy...

Have you ever wonder, all these things you have done in life, are you doing it for other people or are you doing it for yourself?

I've been wondering about it for quite some time.

From school till work, are we going through all these because we truly wanted to or just because theres only this path in life that everybody must go through.

'I want to do something for myself!' (I suddenly msg my friend screaming this to him)
'zzz... what you want to do?' (My friend reply)

For that instance, I couldnt answer his question.

Sitting here in office, staring out of the window at the sky, listening to my collegue talking about earning extra income online.
Once again i'm wondering, wondering about what can i do for myself in life.

What have you done for youself that makes you truly happy?

Living Your Dreams, in a Manner of Speaking

hey, check out this article at yahoo. its abt u being able to control ur dreams, regardless of nightmares, action pack or even romance. quite an interesting article.

a penny for my thought- part 2

hiya, i'm back. yes, u have guess it right. i'm going to continue on the post 'a penny for my thought- part 1'. hope u people out there enjoy it n if it helps u someday n somehow, i'm bless. :D

Marriage is a whole new stage of love. It is very different from what the youngters are feeling and experiencing. Why is that so? They are still deeply in love with one another, if possible, even more so. But there are some new addition to the 'virus'(remember the virus?? if not u can check out the post 'a penny for my thought- part 1' :D) Yup, the 'virus'. The 'virus' like most or even all of its kind, mutates. It upgrades to suit and adapt to the harsh living conditions that its kind are facing, materialism. With materialism around, poeple will emphasis on material objects, comforts, and considerations. Which will result in a disinterest in spiritual value. Here, it means love. (As some will agree with me, love has a part of spiritual connection in it, some will be able to 'sense' what the other half is doing, thinking or even feeling, when they are miles apart. Its alright if u din experience any of it, it varies from a person to another.)

A few years have come and go, a young couple undergoes marriage. Yet another few months or years have passed when the number of times they share honeyed words and the number of gifts they give one another diminish. It can be possible that they don't see such gesture as tokens of love and gratitude, to them they are MARRIED, what can be done to show how deep they love one another, to them, marriage is the utimate stage of showing that 'i care for u. i love u. i want to be with u. i'm happy to be with u. i cant live without u. n such.' But they don't realised that such a special bond needs attention and care for a baby to mature and strengthen. They don't realised that small gesture of love and gratitude by giving gifts and showing affection can make marriage last longer and happier.

p.s: will be sharing on what to do and what not to do in marriage and bgr'a penny for my thought- part 3')

a penny for my thought- part 1

yo, finally i'm here to contribute to the site. pai sei. too many things happening n so little time plus there's only one me. pls pardon my language, n feel free to do any editing to it. :D

There are a few angles to how one can view marriage. it can be view as a legal procedure for people to undergo so as to buy bigger houses, have kids(hey, the kids have to have a whole family, right?), get special government package(for babies manufacturer), last but not the least, love. Of course there are other reasons to it, but for now, i'll name these few.For all those mention above, i'll be touching on love only(writer's block).

Love is a very very special virus that makes one crazy n give lots of courage for those infected to do tons of stupid things. It is very contagious. Infected personal will think of the people they want to spread to causing them to have difficulty concentrating on the work at hand, changing into near zombie state when he/she is near, see the goods of one another but not much of the bads as well as behaving differently and such. There's only one way to cure this virus, that is Marriage. Yes, i can hear surprise gasp from u. Dont be shock. Its only after married, that the symptoms disappear one by one slowly. Why is that so?

It can be due to the fact that the cured couple now have a near immune resistance towards the virus that they are not as worried to losing one another compared to before marriage. As time goes by, they the number of times they share honeyed words and the number of gifts they give one another diminish. And with times, their eyes enhanced by the good n bad events of life, starts to see each other’s weakness clearly, like a banshee among the elf priestess. The bads have outshone the goods. The good they used to see in each other seem to diminish with time, like a wilt flower.

Marriage...

Went to see fireworks last nite. it was really beautiful. All the sparkling rains are worth the squeeze & sweat. I feel like the whole Singapore was there. It’s always like that whenever there is firework displays. People were armed with cameras, video-cams, handphones, watching patiently into the night sky, awaiting the first shot of sparkles.

But why do we get so fascinated over a few mins of fireworks? After all, it is only a few mins of shimmering display and yet people waited for hours to get a glimpse. Perhaps is its short life that makes people cherish its moment. Fireworks won’t be such a catch anymore if we have it everyday.

Sometimes we tend to take for granted the things we always have with us and go in search for something that is far-fetched or elusive.

Much like marriages.

I’ve been observing my brother & my sister-in-law for a few months since they got married and heard their side of the story. Living together has seemed to magnify each other’s weakness & the good they used to see in each other seem to diminish with time. The no. of times they share honeyed words and the no. of gifts they receive from each other also reduced after their marriage. Perhaps those are no longer a priority now as compared to during their courtship. They have more practical issues on hand now – house loan, insurance, furniture, renovation …

Is this really the case when one got married?

To me, marriage means sharing your life together & your hearts beat as one. Worries should be halved, and happiness doubled. Yet many times the opposite applies ie Worries doubled and happiness halved.

They say marriage requires understanding, acceptance and trust but can these elements alone make a marriage blissful?

I wonder.

Where is the Love?

Came across the 2nd shocking news yesterday as i flipped through the newspaper & read " Body of 2nd slain Korean found". For those who are not aware of this recent event, this is a short summary: The Teleban rebels have held 21 korean hostages & demanded that the Afghan government to free the terrorist prisoners by a certain deadline. As the deadline has expired, 2 Korean hostages were killed as a result, first one being shot repeatedly in the head and the 2nd one slain and left by the roadside. And this gives me the little inspiration to write this blog.

As i'm sitting here comfortably, listening to my itunes & typing out these words, i must admit i would not be able to truly understand the fear & agony that those hostages are going through, likewise for the rest of us. But what is it in the minds of those terrorists as they plot & execute their devilish plans? Is it purely for their extreme beliefs & "glory"? Or is it merely for the world to give them a little attention? As they shattered the lives of many & introduced terror to their victims, did the images of the victim’s loved ones & their own loved ones ever flash across their mind for a split second?

It is really hard to imagine how one can be so emotionless & brutal when it comes to their vulnerable fellow beings... Perhaps they wanna make themselves seem strong & mighty & heroic..but to me is just the direct opposite.

They are 'strong" for they act on the helpless & vulnerable, "mighty" for they are only able to use threats & fear to achieve their goals (no value-add & sincerity), "heroic" for they have obviously misunderstood its meanings. Or perhaps they gain their "glory" for being the most feared & hated by the rest of the world.

Having said all these, i cant help but feeling a little sympathetic. They must be the loneliest people in this world, isolated by the rest, and facing the dark side of deaths & suffering everyday. Some of us cant even tolerate a few bad words from our own classmate, and this is nothing compared to the amount of outrage & hatred & badmouthings the terrorists are facing.

They must also have known fear & pain really well, for them to so successfully instil it to their victims & loved ones..

They must be really deprived of Love..if not they won't be so eager to take it away from their victims & their families using such extreme desperate measures..

If they have families, won't they wanna spend a good afternoon chilling out with them, sharing their happiness & sorrow? If they have children, won't they wanna see their children growing up slowly in a beautiful environment filled with laughter & joy? If they have friends, won't they wanna create fond memories playing & joking together freely?

To me, it would be meaningless living in a world where u don't experience love or don't even know that it exists.. to them, where is the love?

Its All About Love

So what is love?

I've been trying to find out the answer to this question myself for years.
Till i found her. =)

Well, love story normally starts with 'an innocent boy and a sweet girl who know each other since they are young' and ends with 'so they grew up and get married and live happily every after'.

But what is interesting is the content or the middle of the story.

There are ups and downs, things are not as sweet as love story, things are not as wonderful as fairy tale.

Just like a roller coaster ride, at some point of the time, you feel like you are at the verge of dying, until you are near the ending then u feel a sign of relief.

Love sounds exciting isnt it?

So quick find someone whom you really love and who really loves you and experience this exciting ride. =)

You will then learn to treasure this person whos willing to take this ride with you, stay by your side throughout, and finally reach the end point together.

As I always believe, there is no problem too difficult to solve, as problems are created by humans in the first place.

The key to the solution is communication, is only through good communication, then one can understand the needs and concern of each other, and finally reach the end point together. ((^(oo)^))

The Immortals

Start time: 2.33pm, 29th July '07

After much thoughts, i decided to attributed my very first blog to the buddies (The Immortals). After all, it is through the discussion that we had in N.y.d.c that Love.Confidante is born.

Don't ask me why we call ourselves The Immortals; this name just happened to dawn on us one fine day during secondary school while we were having our recess & it has been with us for more than 6 years since then. It does sounds abit lame, and for you who are reading, u might have already fallen off your chair! but that's what we do best.. being lame, causing people to fall off chairs, falling off chairs ourselves.. *Long live The Immortals!*

Perhaps there is a hidden meaning behind "The Immortals"- it means our friendship will always be as long-lived & beautiful. No, i'm not trying to think of ways to justify the title. To me, it sounds pretty logical. Really must admit that we are the extraordinary, we have remain the best of friends for abt a decade already! *OMG, we are no longer talking about years but decade actually!*

From juveniles then to working adults now, i see the various stages of changes in us and around us. Different people come in and out of our lives, various shops in our favourite hang-out Causeway Point (CWP) open and close all these years.. but magically we still remain as we are, only to grow increasingly sick of CWP.

People say life is about changes and i agree.. but to not find a change in our friendship is definitely something worth popping a champagne. Let us stay unchanged & go through the changes in time!

*eek, is getting alittle mushy here~* pardon me for the unusual sentimental thought, is the first thing that came to my mind.. blame it on the romantically cool weather. =)

End time: 3.10pm, 29th July;07
