saw this on a website:


What is Love?

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."

-St. Augustine, movie "Captain Corelli's Mandolin"

do you agree? =)

Today I got 2 donation booklets from my ex-colleague cum friend. It is donation booklets for Children Charities Association of Singapore (CCA).

Proceeds will go to:
1. The Association for Persons with Special Needs,

2. Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore,

3. St Andrew's Mission Hospital,

4. Singapore Association for the Deaf,

5. Singapore Children's Society,

6. Spastic Children's Association of Singapore.


When I asked for 2 booklets, I was thinking to myself,”well, these days not many people want to donate money, so it’s gonna be tough selling.” So I only took 2 booklets, 20 tickets in total.

When I started asking my colleagues to buy the tickets, I was expecting to sell only 1 book and I was going to buy the 2nd booklet. To my surprise, my colleagues each bought at least 2 tickets, and 3 of them actually bought 3 booklets (1 booklet each)!

I was very touched, seriously. They bought it so readily; they did not even ask if there’s lucky draw or when’s the event etc which most public would ask. They merely ask, “donation for? “ after I replied, they just said. “okay! One book for me! “

It’s that simple.

With all the scams and hoo-haa of various big charities, Singaporeans are getting very sceptical about donating, even if it’s only $2 each.

However, there are still a group of people who still wish to help the needy in the country, still believes there are genuine associations/organisations in Singapore that are helping those in need.

I am much more positive now and hope more people will regain their confidence in charity and donate generously cos ultimately, when we get stingy with our donations, it ain’t those CEOs or Directors who suffer, but those who are depending on these associations to survive through every day needs.

The directors or management level would still be paid a comfortable sum of money every month while those who really need help, such as medical bills, dialysis machines etc, would be crying and worrying about the next day, cos we public had lost hope and stop donating.

So please people, be kind! donate! =)

* CCA will be having their annual fun-fair event around November this year to help raise funds for the needy children. Do stay tune for updates! =)

a gf asked about my ex bf.. and pics..

as i was showing her his pics.. i felt sad.. tears threaten to fill my eyes.. i stopped it..

nope, i am no longer in love with him, so is he.. we are purely friends (if not accquaintances)..


for those who do not know me, this past relationship was a fulfiling one.. he was a very nice person and was true to me through out the relationship..

but it ended eventually.. with no one's fault.. sometimes, love just ain't enough..


maybe i was feeling melachony.. maybe too much memories came back to me..

it's not the kind of sad that you lost someone you love.. its not longer the same sadness i felt when he broke up with me..

it was a sense of pity..

we were so close to starting a new life together.. but we didn't..

and this relationship taught me alot of things.. really alot.. and though it ended, i have no regrets..

i'm glad i have the memories..

he has found a better half.. a person more suitable than i am.. and i give him my blessings..


a friend had said, when the time comes, you will be able to let go..

you will know when its time to let go..

till then, no words of advice will be able to change your mind..


how true is that?

those who had been through failed relationships..

failed relationships which were supposed to work.. or at least, it seemed to work..

do you agree?

that your heart will know when it's time to let go?


if your heart knows when it is time to let go, will it know when it's time to tie the knot? when you meet the right person, will your heart let you know?


i must admit, i do not have an answer to that.

so.. do you have an answer for me?
