Perservere on 。。。

When all the world is looming dark and things seem not so clear,
When shadows seems to hover' round, Lord, may I perservere.

When it seems everything 's been tried and there's no way to go,
Just let me keep remembering sometimes the journey's slow.

I may just need to stop and rest along the path I trod,
A time to try to understand and have my talk with God.

As I gain new strength to carry on Without a doubt or fear,
Somehow I know things will be right, And so, I perservere.

Life can be difficult at times...
I just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you
and I care about what you are going through.

- Anne Stortz (Chicken Soup for the Unsinkable Soul Pg 69)

To all my friends out there... Perservere on... Hang in there... Exams will be over real soon... Jiayou!! May the Force be with you!! *smilez*

Love, is it a Chance or Choice?

Love; Chance or Choice

When we meet the right person to love when we're at the right place at the right time, that's chance.

When you meet someone you're attracted to, that's not a choice. That's chance.

Being caught up in a moment (and there's a lot of couples who get together because of this) is not a choice. That's also a chance.

The difference is what happens afterwards. When will you take that infatuation, that crush, that mind-blowing attraction to the next level?

That's when all sanity goes back, you sit down and contemplate whether you want to make this into a concrete relationship or just a fling. If you decide to love a person, even with his faults, that's not a chance. That's choice.

When you choose to be with a person, no matter what, that's choice.

Even if you know there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter, and richer than your mate, and yet, you decide to love your mate just the same, that's choice.

Infatuation, crushes, attraction comes to us by chance.
But true love that lasts is truly a choice. A choice that we make.

Regarding soul mates, there's a beautiful movie quote that I believe is so true about this:
" Fate brings you together, but it's still up to you to make it happen."

I do believe that soul mates do exist. That there is truly someone made for you. But it's still up to you to make the choice if you're going to do something about it or not. We may meet our soul mates by chance, but loving and staying with our soul mates is still a choice we have to make.

We came to the world not by finding someone perfect to love...
BUT to learn how to love an imperfect person perfectly...


Something to share... Had this piece of article for a few years... I believe in it... How about you?

Appreciating all the Little Things in Life。。。

Something to share from my email...

Long ago, there lived a King. This King should have been contented with his life, given all the riches and luxuries he had. However, this was not the case! The King always find himself wondering why he never seems to be contented with his life. Sure, he had the attention of everyone wherever he go, attended fancy dinners and parties, but somehow, he still feel something is lacking and he couldn't put his finger on it.

One day, the King had woken up earlier than usual to stroll around his palace. He entered his huge living room and came to a stop when he heard someone happily singing away... following this singing... he saw that one of the servants was singing and had a very contented look on his face. This fascinated the King and he summoned this man to his chambers. The man, his servant, entered the King's chambers as ordered. The King asked, "why are you so happy? To this, the man replied: "Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but I make enough of a living to keep my wife and children happy. We don't need too much just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummy. My wife and children are my inspiration, they are content with whatever little I bring home. I am happy because my family is happy." Hearing this, the King dismissed the servant and summoned his Personal Assistant to his chambers. The King related his personal anguish about his feelings and then related the story of the servant to his Personal Assistant, hoping that somehow, he will be able to come up with some reasoning that here is a King who could have anything he wished for at a snap of his fingers and yet is not contented, whereas, his servant, having so little is extremely contented.

The Personal Assistant listened attentively and came to a conclusion. He said "Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of " The 99 Club." "The 99 Club? And what exactly is that?" the King inquired. To which the Assistant replied, "Your Majesty, to truly know what The 99 Club is, you will have to do the following... place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this servant's doorstep, you will then understand what The 99 Club is." That very same evening, the King arranged for 99 Gold coins to be placed in a bag at the servant's doorstep. Although he was slightly hesitant and he thought he should have put 100 Gold coins into the bag, but since his assistant had advised him to put 99, that is what he did. The servant was just stepping out of his house when he saw a bag at his doorstep. Wondering about its contents, he took it into his house and opened the bag. When he opened the bag, he let out a great big shout of joy...Gold Coins... so many of them. He could hardly believe it. He called his wife to show her the coins. He then took the bag to a table, emptied the contents out and began to count the coins. Doing so, he realised that there were 99 coins and he thought it was an even number so he counted again, and again and again only to come to the same conclusion... 99 Gold Coins. He began to wonder, what could have happened to that last 1 coin? For no one would leave 99 coins. He began to search his entire house, looked around his backyard for hours, not wanting to lose out on that one coin. Finally, exhausted, he decided that he is going to work harder than ever to make up for that 1 Gold coin to make his entire collection an even 100 Gold Coins.

He got up the next morning, in an extremely horrible mood, shouting at the children and his life for his delay, not realising that he had sent most of the night conjuring ways of working hard so that he had enough money to buy himself that gold coin. He went to work as usual - only not in his usual best mood, singing happily - as he grumpily did his daily errands. Seeing the man's attitude change so drastically, the King was puzzled. He promptly summoned his assistant to his chambers. The King related his thoughts about the servant and once again, his assistant listened. The King could not believe that the servant who until yesterday had been singing away and was happy and contented with his life had taken a sudden change of attitude, even though he should have been happier after receiving the gold coins. To this the assistant replied "Ah! but your Majesty, the servant has now officially joined "The 99 Club." He explained: "The 99 Club is just a name given to those people who have everything but yet are never contented, therefore they are always working hard and striving for that extra 1 to round it out to 100! We have so much to be thankful for and we can live with very little in our lives, but the minute we are given something bigger and better, we want even more! We are not the same happy contented person we used to be, we want more and more and by wanting more and more we don't realised the price we pay for it. We lose our sleep, our happiness, we hurt the people around us just as a price to pay for our growing needs and desires. That is what joining The 99 Club is all about." Hearing this, the King decided that from that day onwards, he is going to start appreciating all the little things in life.

Striving for more is always good, but let's not strive so hard and for so much that we lose all those near and dear to our hearts, we shouldn't compromise our happiness for moments of luxuries!

Food for Thought: Are you in " The 99 Club " ?

The Keys to Your Heart



You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.

Your ideal relationship is comforting. You crave a relationship where you always feel warmth and love.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something that will confine you. You are afraid of marriage.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Interesting Discovery。。。=p

Studied the whole day in sch lib today... tink its really better to study in sch than at home... With so many pple ard studying did help to push me on... *positive influence*, though today the lib seems rather 冷清... duno where all the pple gone... hahah did heard that there are pple who actually finishes their exams today!!! That's really fast ah... well...as usual engine is usually the last few to end exams... so 习以为常了... To look at it positively... it's better to end late also... which means the papers are more spread out and have more time on hand to fiddle and play with (constructively of course *bleah*)... if not all at one shot can really 死得不清不楚。。。hahah =p

Interesting stuffs to share... today while studying in the lib... a couple in their wedding gown n stuffs came into lib to have photo shoot!! The bride looks really gorgeous...=) with the beautiful gown and hair and make up...she looks great!! and the smile on her face... practically can sensed the 幸福ness she's in...=p tink all brides are just so beautiful...=) as for the bridegroom din really look carefully at him... was observing the bride instead hehe =p Saw them went over to the study table and sat down and took photographs... Then suddenly thought abt Cherling once mentioned about setting up a matchmaking agency while we were chatting hahah and i will go plan the wedding events for the couples with different themes and settings... turning the whole concept into business and earn big bucks!! since singapore have been encouraging pple to get married heheh so it's a potential business! (tink that time was rather late in the night...wahahah *crapping*) Oh well... good to dream once in a while heheh =p

Just now on the way home, was chatting with Wanchew on the bus... and to our surprise... both of us love literature!!! Great!!! Found a Buddy!!! Forgot how we got onto this topic heheh =p I'm really very happy to find someone who also enjoys theatre plays and literature novels... coz usually not many pple ard really love it... and she shares the same sentiment also!! She also dun haf frens who really enjoy literature...so even if want to go watch play also very difficult... so both of us are overjoyed that we can go watch together next time when there's nice plays ard... heheh =p And we have agreed to go watch the movie "Pride and Prejudice" which will be showing in Dec. It's my all time favourite... got to read this book by Jane Austen while I'm in sec 2 for literature and till today I still love this novel...=)

Personally, I really love literature... It helps to open my eyes to the life of many societies at various parts of the world at different times... give me the insights of the behaviour, thinking, values of the people at that time...it's so interesting and set me thinking... it's the beautiful language that the various authors used to epit the sceneries, the characters,... Literature is such a delicate piece of art and I just love it...till the day my heart stops beating... *smilez*

Okie...it's time to slp...tml need to go sch to continue to study...wed's my 2nd paper... wish myself loads of luck!! hahah =p

You Are Balanced - Realist - Empowered

You feel your life is controlled both externally and internally.
You have a good sense of what you can control and what you should let go.
Depending on the situation, you sometimes try to exert more control.
Other times, you accept things for what they are and go with the flow.

You are a realist when it comes to luck.
You don't attribute everything to luck, but you do know some things are random.
You don't beat yourself up when bad things happen to you...
But you do your best to try to make your own luck.

You have a good deal of power, but you also know the pecking order.
You realize that working the system does get you further.
You know who to defer to and who to control.
When it comes to the game of life, you play things flawlessly.
