The more I look at this blogskin,
the more I like it. Haha.
The colour combi, the picture.. everything is so nice.
Lol. Randomness.
Cheng Yew sent this email to us.
And I thought it was really sweet.
What does Love mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds,
"What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca- age 8
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." Jessica - age 8
Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
"Nothing, I just helped him cry".---------
So sweet right. I like the last part.
As well as the one about the puppy.
And I think the sweetest is the very first one.
I wonder if these comments are really from kids.
it's really amazing how kids think sometimes. So innocent and everything.
Yet the more you grow up, the more you lose yourself.
But yea. I'm not going to emo anymore.
Try not to.
Thanks for everyone who's been there.
Especially
Fil, Jean, Eve and Stella.Oh yes. And Louis as well. For having to entertain me late at night and giving me advices. What you said served to a certain extent as a wake up call.
And I won't forget how you scolded your sis coz of me that day and made her cry. Haha.
I know it's hard for you guys [pertaining to Fil and Jean and Eve to a certain extent] for putting up with my nonsenses this period of time. But I really appreciate everything. Even though you all may think you're not doing anything much, just your presence is enough. (:
Now I think of how I always tell Yinqi last time that we should all smile and be happy. But yet I'm not doing it myself when things go wrong.
So yea. Smile. :D
My entries are getting lengthy and wordy and blahh.
Bleahs. Should not be so naggy next time.
