Stolen picture...

My picture was being stolen as somebody else’s display picture? :o

When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you
Are secrets and lies

I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call
Was standing here all along

** And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

I've loved you forever
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore

I give you my word
I give you my heart
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow
Forever has now begun

** Just close your eyes
Each lovin' day
And know this feeling won't go away
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

Over and over I fall
When I hear you call
Without you in my life, baby
I just wouldn't be living at all

And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
'Til the day my life is through
This I promise you, baby

** Just close your eyes
Each lovin' day
And know this feeling won't go away
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
I promise you

Yes, this I promise!! You know it is true :)

LOVE DOESN'T NEED A REASON...

Lady: Why do you like me? Why do you love me?

Man: I can’t tell the reason, but I really like you…

Lady: You can’t even tell me the reason… How can you say you like me? How can you say you love me?

Man: I really don’t know the reason, but I can prove that I love you…

Lady: Proof? No! I want you to tell me the reason. My friend’s boyfriend can tell her why he loves her but not you.

Man: Ok,ok… Erm… Because you are beautiful, because your voice is sweet, because you are caring, because you are loving, because you are thoughtful, because of your smile , because of your every movements…

The lady felt very satisfied with the man’s answer. Unfortunately, a few days later, the lady met with an accident and went into the coma stage.

The guy then placed a letter by her side, and here is the content:

Darling,

Because of your sweet voice that I love you. Now can you talk? No! Therefore I cannot love you.

Because of your care and concern that I like you. Now that you cannot show them, I cannot love you. Because of your smile, because of your every movement that I love you. Now can you smile? Now can you move? No! Therefore I cannot love you.

If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love you anymore.

Does love need a reason? NO!!

Therefore, I still love you. And love doesn’t need a reason.

Relationships are hard to handle, it may even seem impossible at times.

There will be many fights and many quarrels, many disagreements and many tears.The easiest thing would be to give up.But if we spent half the energy we use in fighting with each other, and spend that energy in fighting to keep the relationship strong, then that is love.

Remember, in a relationship, giving up is not the solution Disagreements, fights and quarrels will always be there. But you must always fight harder to stay together. Some fights are really worth fighting! SMILE!!

LEARN TO LOVE WITHOUT TAKING OR EXPECTING ANYTHING IN RETURN… LEARN TO LOVE, AND YOU WILL BE LOVED IN RETURN!!

YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT LOVE IS UNTIL YOU START LOVING…!! YOU WILL NEVER KNOW HOW TO ACCEPT LOVE UNTIL YOU LEARN HOW TO GIVE OUT LOVE!!

LOVE ALL YOU CAN, WITH AS MUCH AS YOU HAVE, FOR AS LONG AS GOD GIVES YOU BREATH.

1 John 4:19 ~~> We love because He first loved us.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8...

爱是恒久忍耐又有恩慈
Ai shi heng jiu ren nai you you en ci
爱是不嫉妒
Ai shi bu ji du
爱是不自夸不张狂
Ai shi bu zhi kua bu zhang kuang
不做害羞的事
Bu zuo hai xiu de shi
不求自己地益处不轻易发怒
Bu qiu zi ji de yi chu bu jing yi fa nu
不计算人家的恶
Bu ji suan ren jia de e
不喜欢不义只喜欢真理
Bu xi huan bu yi zhi xi huan zhen li

凡事包容凡事相信凡事盼望
Fan shi bao yong fan shi xiang xin fan shi pan wang
凡事忍耐凡事要忍耐
Fan shi ren nai fan shi yao ren nai
爱是永不止息
Ai shi yong bu zhi xi

A song in mandarin to the translation of the Love passage from the Scriptures. We have been practicing it since a couple of weeks ago in preparation for the Charity Dinner, organized by Lovely Disabled Home. Similar to that of Beautiful Gate, Lovely Disabled Home was set up in November 2005 by just an ordinary inmate of BG, who is now a director of a centre of his own.

On an unrelated matter, it really feels great to be back home to my own cozy room, and to be able to go online again rather than sleep as early as 9 p.m. :o haha

PLAYING LIFE’S GAME…

Sometimes decisions in life can affect our feelings; other times our feelings can affect our decisions. At one point, I was determined to fulfill my decisions. But on the other hand, I was hesitant that it could actually become a reality. Heart to heart talk can sometimes stir up mixed feelings. Truly I was at a junction of dilemma again as Evie and Debbie chatted about their ups and downs last night.

What is it that I truly want? What if I said yes, what if I said no? What if I’m ready? What if I’m not? When I was ready, the situation was at a stand still. Yet when I thought that I may not be ready after all, there were indications that things were on the right track. Haih, what an irony. The inter-zone bowling competition is next Friday, am I up for it? Not that I will be playing. The question is am I ready to face my “challenges”. Am I ready to face something (and perhaps someone) knowing that I may be at risk of losing it?

Do I really have the self-sacrificing Melancholy traits that people say they see in me? True. Love is not self-seeking. And because I wanted others to be happy, I gave up my own for their sake? Well, I guess I have given in way too much. Three years ago, I gave in. Now, I find myself giving in again. Perhaps it is time I learnt to think a little more for myself rather than putting others on priority and end up hurting myself in the process. I’m tired. When will this game end?

“Don’t worry and fret over what’s not happening; cherish that which has taken place.”

25 years and counting…

Last Sunday marks the silver year for my parents!! It may have long past the actual date, but it is better late than never. Better than having them look back and recall their 25th anniversary in the hospital with me, haha. The dinner was held at Kelana Seafood Centre, with my other two ET siblings and I being the organizer. My sister was the overall event manager (cum emcee), my brother the film producer of their life’s story and myself as the receptionist.

The receptionist and her assistant, the rest are just the side models… Hahaha :p

My sis, as the emcee of the nite…

Cell members, relatives, and a handful of close friends from church were there to witness this occasion.

My mom, her eldest brother and wife…

Pictures paint a thousand words. And with too much to say about the whole event, I’ll just let the pictures tell them for me, hehe *winkz*

The “cell group” table…

The in laws, hehehe…

The “bride’s” family…

Uncle Tony and Auntie Connie, the husband-and-wife worship team…

Renewal of vows…

Exchanging of rings…

That special ring from him to her *winkz*

Sweet *winkz*

Our very own BSB band from Grace PJ: The Bible Shop Boys: Tony, Gus and Eddy (L to R) [they came in quietly, made themselves comfortable on stage and started performing - a surprise arrangement by Auntie Connie Chong *winkz*]

Now, let's dance the night away, haha…

Kids really learn what they see the adults do, haha…

Mr & Mrs Simon Teo with Mr & Mrs Mogan :p
