it won't hurt just to give a little love right?

today's the day once again.
but i seem to have forgotten what was my topic on.
:( doh!

oh well, i guess i should just go with love.

This month is usually associated with love because of Valentines Day.
However, love is more than just for couples.
there's also family love -
which is associated with the Chinese New Year celebration where relatives gather together to catch up with each other and bond over food and gossip.

money is the root of all evil.. i think this quote should be changed to love is the root of all evil.
if you join the 2 words together it will link like this:

evilovevilovevilovevilove 

no matter which word you start with, it will still link.

i don't say that love is really a bad thing.

but the love of materialistic things is the root of all evil.

because we are so captivated by the man-made beauty of this world, we fail to behold nature's beauty and often end up in her wrath.

but by the time her fury ends, it's too late to restore order.

i thought of this..
if you seperate both words and look at them individually both words have a difference of 1 alphabet.

love  "o" reprents a circle, which also represents my friends, family.
evil   "i" is the selfish little me. where i only think about myself and not caring about others.

makes sense to me..
love by itself has power to change anything.
evil by itself has the power to destroy anything.

the long-winded girl.

i was almost not able to update my blog today. thankfully for the radio, i woke up. LOL..

i was tired.. ah~

alright i shall start my second entry for my monthly column now.

this month's topic is: Courage.

it was quite hard to think about this topic,but i will try to explain what it means to me.

one small example can be seen if you reflect back to the very first day of school this year.

i remember seeing mothers walking their children to the bus-stop waiting for the school buses to bring them to school. some of the children would be afraid to leave their mother's side. but finally they would have to leave their mother and go to school. at the end of the day when it's time to go back home, all the mothers and some fathers would either go to school to collect their children or wait at the bus-stop for the school bus to come.

it's quite touching to see a child running into their parents arms. although i may not be sure what they are thinking, both parties must have felt some sort of relief and pride. the child's being able to face a whole day at school outside the comforts of his/her home and the absence of his/her parents. while the parents' being able to get through a day maybe worrying a little if their child is doing at school, but ultimately at the end when they see their child returning home safely that's all that matters.

the following passage is mostly pointed towards the religious perspective.  

but courage can not only be seen in that way. courage is by walking the talk. no matter if others go the opposite way and the crowd seems to be pushing you with it, have a strong stand and go onward to the other way. the other way meaning God's way. besides reading His Word people who call themselves Christians should follow in his footsteps to lead a life that is Christ-like. it is normal to claim that it's a difficult task because we are after all human only. but by having courage and receiving strength through the reading of His Word, we are slowly but surely walking in the right direction. if people who call themselves Christians just talk the talk but not walk it, they might as well be called hypocrites. because their words have no value when there are no actions put to it.

Trust and obey for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus is to trust and obey. 

i can admit that most of the Christians nowadays are a little hypocritical some time or another. but thankfully God is merciful enough to forgive us, that's where the Holy Communion comes into the picture. but we must remember that just because He is merciful we can continue living our lives however we like. Courage is like a drop of ink into a beaker of water. just a small drop can make such a difference in the water's colour within a minute. if we start walking in a Christ-like direction we are sure that we can lead others along the way. 

Be the salt of the earth and the light to the world

let's get it started

i have decided to do this; starting from today onwards on every last Sunday of the month, I will write about a topic on which I have thought about and give my own opinions and etc. there. It's something like the column that Mao writes every month for the Pati Pati magazine.

Speak your Mind. :)

Alright, so let's get started. Today's first topic is: Crying.

Someone once told me: "Crying is a sign of weakness.It is not good to cry alot."

I mulled over that for a while and finally came up with this conclusion.

Babies cry because they are weak(helpless).

Children cry because they are weak(lost).

Women cry because they are weak(heart-broken).

Men? They rarely cry, unless they are grieving for the lost of a loved one or some other unknown reason.

Quoted from John Mayer's song, Daughters

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on

 That's why boys don't cry. Because they don't want to let others think they are weak.

Perhaps this was the reason why I like short hair.

Be a man, do the right thing.




this song is nice.. but i think she could have done better with the vocals..
