THE MEASUREMENT OF LOVE

"I love you so much, Mommy,"

The child caught her mother's eye,

"See how much I love you,"

She held her arms out wide.

"Oh, sweetheart," said her mother,

"I love you so much, too,

Why, I can't even measure

All the love I have for you."

"Mommy, how do you measure love?"

Asked the child, wondering how,

Hmm ... her mother stopped to ponder,

A furrow formed upon her brow.

"Love can't be marked by rulers,

Or weighed upon a scale,

It can't be measured in a cup,

Or with a spoon or pail."

"It can't be counted out like coins.

Nor put away for rainy days,

The more, it seems, some people have,

The more they give away."

"Love is valued differently,

And it's very hard to measure,

To some poor souls it's worthless,

While to others it's a treasure."

"There are many kinds of love,

Though they're basically the same,

All love starts within the heart,

Where it's nourished and sustained."

"Love can make a life worthwhile,

Though, its depth and breadth cannot be checked,

But when love's around, folks have found

The full extent of its effect."

"The twinkle in a person's eye,

The smile on a loved one's face,

Both are signs of love-at-work,

Though no measurement has taken place."

The attentive child sat and thought,

As she listened to those words,

But she really didn't understand

Everything she heard.

So again she said, "I love you,"

With her baby arms outstretched,

"That's all the love I got," she said,

Somewhat troubled and perplexed.

"Oh, honey, that's the way you do it,

That's how you really measure love,"

Then her mother opened wide her arms,

And gave her unmeasured hugs.

you are my everything
the dream we had that day
i haven't forgotten it yet

you are my dream
we'd just gotten started
now it's time to start moving

everyday brings a new shining day
i wanna see you, it lights my soul on fire
but now, we say farewell to the fun days

i go the distance with you beside
the sky watches over us, and that is proof
i try to get started
this is my final forever routine

you are my love
the dream we had that day
i haven't forgotten it yet

you are my dream
making my life so worthwhile
i love you even when i'm a million miles away
all i want is just to be with you

thank you dear
for all you have given me
be it day or night
my heart will always be with you
and so will my love for you

this is my lifelong promise to you
I LOVE YOU *muacks*

broken, pale wings.
you're just a little tired of the overly blue sky.
you don't have to keep smiling for someone else.
it's ok to smile for your own sake.
even now, with the loneliness creeping up on me.
inside me there is a lit candle.
unlike that expensive chandelier,
extinguished over time.
is it okay to fill the hollowness from my lack of words with tears?
i just don't understand anymore.
at the least, in my dreams
if i could swim freely, there would'nt be a need for a sky anymore.
even without painting over the things from yesterday.
i could head forward tomorrow
broken, pale wings.
you're just a little tired of the overly blue sky.
you don't have to keep smiling for someone else.
it's ok to smile for your own sake.

2007-11-16T01:09:00.000+08:00

you know, even when i tried all means
to avoid and ignore you.
my mind is constantly thinking about you.
staring my phone for sms,
stoning at the comp for a comment,
blog hopping between our blogs for a sign,
sitting by the phone for a ring.

even when i'm awake i can dream of you.
needless to say, night after night i see you.
i dream of you smiling, laughing, staring.
and to, have i stared into the blank wall
till i fall asleep with you dancing in my head.

i'm an ass to do such dumb stuff,
but i just want to see if i really can do without you.
if i could just carry on life without your presence.
it was mean of me, i know.
easy as it seems, it was terrible.
every second felt like days,
days like months. *frowns*

maybe this four days was nothing to you,
just like another other day passing by.
no reaction, no emotion, no feeling.
oh well, it is really alright.
this is not a test for you, but for me.

i can finally see that, i cant do without you.
life is sure bad enough. the wait is killing me.
Haiz, 4 days. Just 4 days. Four Days.
Army How?

whats on your mind right now?
to be honest, i dont have a single clue.
for you always leave me hanging around,
guessing and assuming how things are doing.
how do i know if im wrong or right?
thats the problem you see.

"Horoscope says its a good day to thrash things out."

You are an Advocating Inventor.

You are an Inventor

Your imagination, self-reliance, openness to new things, and appreciation for utility combine to make you an INVENTOR.

You have the confidence to make your visions into reality, and you are willing to consider many alternatives to get that done.

The full spectrum of possibilities in the world intrigues you—you're not limited by pre-conceived notions of how things should be.

Problem-solving is a specialty of yours, owing to your persistence, curiosity, and understanding of how things work.

Your vision allows you to identify what's missing from a given situation, and your creativity allows you to fill in the gaps.

Your awareness of how things function gives you the ability to come up with new uses for common objects.

It is more interesting for you to pursue excitement than it is to get caught up in a routine.

Although understanding details is not difficult for you, you specialize in seeing the bigger picture and don't get caught up in specifics.

You tend to more proactive than reactive—you don't just wait for things to come to you.

You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.

You tend to do things on the spur of the moment, not sticking to a set schedule.

You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people's notions of style.

If you want to be different:

Try applying your creativity to more artistic arenas, and letting your imagination take less practical forms.

how you relate to others

You are Advocating

Being social, empathic, and understanding makes you ADVOCATING.

Some people find being around others exhausting—but not you! You are energized by spending time with friends, and you are good at meeting new people.

One of the reasons you enjoy conversation as much as you do is that you often learn about yourself while talking things out with a friend; you realize things about your own beliefs while discussing them with others.

You have insight into what others are thinking and feeling. This ability allows you to be happy for others, and to commiserate when something has gone wrong for them.

You are highly compassionate, and being conscious of how things affect those close to you leaves you cautious about trusting others too hastily.

Despite these reservations, you are open-minded when it comes to your worldview; you don't look to impose your ways on others.

Your sensitivity towards others' plights contributes to an understanding—both intellectual and emotional—of many different perspectives.

As someone who understands the complexities of the world around you, you are reluctant to pass judgments.

If you want to be different:

While it's important to think about others, don't forget to take some time for yourself, and occassionally to put yourself first.

Take some time to spend with a few close friends; although it's difficult to find people to trust, it's worth the effort.

When you have great ideas, it can be hard to relinquish control, but it can also feel good to take the pressure off and enjoy someone else leading the way.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres."

This is TRUE LOVE.
Do You Have It? It Is Rare.
But If You Do, TREASURE It Well.
Some People Spend Their Entire Life,
Searching And Looking For It.
But Never To Have It.

Im Waiting For My TRUE LOVE.
Still Looking. Still Searching.
Someone That Truly Understands :)

Affection.

a little bit of affection.
a little hint of love.
a little nip in the face.
a little kiss on the cheek.

this voice in the air,
quiet and soothing.
little by little,
it steals my soul.
bits and pieces of me,
emotions and sanity.

take it, claim it,
its yours to keep.

Dear Tech Support:

A while ago I upgraded GIRLFRIEND 7.0 to WIFE 1.0.1. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected organizational and renovation processing that took up a lot of time and valuable resources. In addition, WIFE 1.0.1 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activities, such as SURFING 10.3, CLUBBING 7.5 and FOOTBALL 3.6. I cannot seem to keep WIFE 1.0.1 in the background while attempting to run my other favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to GIRLFRIEND 7.0 but the uninstall doesn't seem to work on WIFE 1.0.1.

Please Help!

Troubled User....

*smiles*
You are the light of my day.
Real bright.
Real shiny.
Real warm.
Real comforting.
I'm happiest when I'm with you.

Love Is ...

Love is the greatest feeling,
Love is like a play,
Love is what I feel for you,
Each and every day,
Love is like a smile,
Love is like a song,
Love is a great emotion,
That keeps us going strong,
I love you with my heart,
My body and my soul,
I love the way I keep loving,
Like a love I can't control,
So remember when your eyes meet mine,
I love you with all my heart,
And I have poured my entire soul into you,
Right from the very start.

Hamburger and Cheese

The one greatest word : LOVE

The one greatest action : TO LOVE

The one greatest gift : TO BE LOVED

The one greatest thought : TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE BEING LOVED

Sometimes being Straight-forward is not that bad after all.
Well, my S.S. skills is really awful.
Its really good to just say it out, instead of letting me guess.
*Horrible you*

Trust me to the Night

Sunrise, Sunset.
Day shone, Darkness shine.
today dies,
just like yesterday.
A day passed, a night spent.
Stay by me, and not leave.
Holding on, I will never let go.
In this glass prison,
in this dying soul.
you are all,
anything but ordinary.
My beating heart is lost,
no longer where is should be.

2007-09-06T23:17:00.001+08:00

REMEMBER ME ?

I AM THE BOY WHO SOUGHT FRIENDSHIP;
THE BOY YOU TURNED AWAY.
I THE BOY WHO ASKED YOU
IF I TOO MIGHT PLAY.

I THE FACE AT THE WINDOW
WHEN YOUR PARTY WAS INSIDE,
I THE LONELY FIGURE
THAT WALKED AWAY AND CRIED.

I THE ONE WHO HUNG AROUND
A PUNCHBAG FOR YOUR GAMES.
SOMEONE YOU COULD KICK AND BEAT,
SOMEONE TO CALL NAMES.

BUT HOW STRANGE IS THE CHANGE
AFTER TIME HAS HURRIED BY,
FOUR YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE THEN
NOW I’M NOT SO QUICK TO CRY.

I’M BIGGER AND I’M STRONGER,
I’VE GROWN A FOOT IN HEIGHT,
SUDDENLY I’M POPULAR
AND YOU’RE LEFT OUT THE LIGHT.

I COULD, IF I WANTED,
BE SO UNKIND TO YOU.
I WOULD ONLY HAVE TO SAY
AND THE OTHER BOYS WOULD DO.

BUT THE MEMORY OF MY PAIN
HOLDS BACK THE REVENGE I’D PLANNED
AND INSTEAD, I FEEL MUCH STRONGER
BY OFFERING YOU MY HAND.

THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.

“If you have the time” I said.

God smiled. “My time is eternity.”
“What questions do you have in mind for me?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?”

God answered...
“That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
long to be children again.”

“That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health.”

“That by thinking anxiously about the future,
they forget the present,
such that they live in neither
the present nor the future.”

"That they live as if they will never die,
and die as though they had never lived.”

God’s hand took mine
and we were silent for a while.

And then I asked...
“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons
you want your children to learn?”

“To learn they cannot make anyone
love them. All they can do
is let themselves be loved.”

“To learn that it is not good
to compare themselves to others.”

“To learn to forgive
by practicing forgiveness.”

“To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them.”

“To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least.”

“To learn that there are people
who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned
how to express or show their feelings.”

“To learn that two people can
look at the same thing
and see it differently.”

“To learn that it is not enough that they
forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.

"Is there anything else
you would like your children to know?"

God smiled and said,
“Just know that I am here... always.”

Trial Of Tears

[I. IT'S RAINING]

Under the sun, there is nothing to hide
Under the moon, the stranger waits inside
People disappear
The music fades away
Splashing through the rain
I'll dream with them one day
It's raining, raining,
On the streets of New York city
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven

I may have wasted all those years
They're not worth their time in tears
I may have spent too long in darkness
In the warmth of my fears

Take a look at yourself
Not at anyone else
And tell me what you see
I know the air is cold
I know the streets are cruel
But I'll enjoy the ride today

It's raining, raining,
On the streets of New York city
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven

I may have wasted all those years
They're not worth their time in tears
I may have spent too long in darkness
In the warmth of my fears

As I walk through all my myths
Rising and sinking like the waves
With my thoughts wrapped around me
Through a trial of tears

Hidden by disguise, stumbling in a world
Feeling uninspired, he gets into his car
Not within his eyes to see, open up, open up
Not much better than the man you hate

How To Make ANYone Fall iN LOVe With You

Thoughts for Bite.

2007-08-28T16:19:00.000+08:00

Question : What is Love?

Question : How do you know its coming?

Question : What does it mean to be attached?

Question : Why do hearts beat fast and slow?

I have been wondering ever since I dreamed the dream.
Do not ask me why, cause I have no idea too.
No prize for telling me the answer, but seriously people.
Tag me or email me or call me, just drop me an answer.
even a hint will do, really.
Helps really alot.

Well, if what Bella said was true.
I will really REALLY be the happiest guy, but then how true is it?
Sometimes, its really the "Yes" that I want to hear.
Kinda dumb right, have to be sure. *shrugs*

I can hardly keep anything in myself.
have to say it out, unless i am told not to, that is.
two times, both no reply. ask a third time? wouldn't it be weird.
Let nature takes it due course, precisely what I am going to do.
sometimes, the best thing to do is not to do anything.
*sigh*

PRELIMS was horrible.
You know what, I cannot wait for Army.
school is really not a place for me, well didnt make much friends anyway.
would have left the college for SMA if not for band.
but again, band is not great as I thought it would be.
what really kept me was my SECTION.
*nod nod*

"BEST SECTION AWARD"
I am really proud of this award, but does my section really deserve it?
on my part, I think I do not deserve this. No matter how much i crave for it.
Lets See - relationship with J2s is pretty bland.
Come to think about it, I have not spoken to Huitian for nearly 7 months. *sad*
Be it in class or in band, we do not even look eye to eye. *thats how bad it is*
I think its really my fault for all those little misunderstandings that we have.
It all accumulated to this BIG BIG problem between us :(
Well, maybe avoiding her was wrong from the start.
What to do, continue hating me then. *let just wait for time to do the healing*
guess what, we might just get to say the first "HI" 10 years from now.
Nothing much i can really do, other than sit down and shut up.

Daniel? He is a wonderful guy, really! A great guy.
But still our relationship is as good as those stranger who brush past each other.
Same band for 6 years, and classmate for 2 years. and Still Like That.
*sigh* maybe its just me. *sigh* maybe.

Joachim, awfully nice guy. I did not even know about the first BAD IMPRESSION i left.
Glad to know that at least I get along fine with him.
Maybe this is the reason why i try to be very nice to the j1s ,
going back every practice and be very close with them.
Maybe, I am trying to make up for the wrongs all these months.
Well, I cannot say for sure, but I seriously pray that no one in the world is as screwed as me.
Really, it would be sad. Not for yourself but for those around.
Its just like being an anomalous reading, it has to go.
One way or another, it has to disappear.

My little wish to die at 21? prayed hard for it. A quick one!
Maybe a small accident during free falling might do the trick?
or even a weapon misfire during Commando training?
Death is not a big issue, but rather the way death approaches.
Lingering on in this world of mask and deceit and lies and false relationship.
*sad*

Alright, I shall stop babbling on.
No one gives a damn anyway, thats how the world goes.
Really random entry.
But its all what i feel.... deep inside.....
Xianz.

Forget it.

Dont bother reading k.

Panic Attack [now playing]

All wound up
On the edge
Terrified

Sleep disturbed
Restless mind
Petrified

Bouts of fear
Permeate
All I see

Heightening
Nervousness
Threatens me

I am paralyzed
So afraid to die

Caught off guard
Warning signs
Never show

Tension strikes
Choking me
Worries grow

Why do I feel so numb
Is it something to do with where I come from
Should this be fight or flight
I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight

Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest
Agitated body in distress
I feel like I'm in danger
Daily life is strangled by my stress

A stifling surge
Shooting through all my veins
Extreme apprehension
Suddenly I'm insane

Lost all hope for redemption
A grave situation desperate at best

Why do I feel so numb
Is it something to do with where I come from
Should this be fight or flight
I don't know why I'm constantly reeling

Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety

Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

Helped hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety

Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

I am in "Detail 9", I.C: Daniel Goh (Corn's friend).

Basically the plan of the day was as follows,

Physical Fitness
Interview
Medical Checkup
Psycho-motor Test
Aptitude Test

Well, physical checkup comprises of certain static station,

Push ups (did 40 reps)
Sit ups (did 50 reps)
Standing Broad Jump (220cm - sucks)
Pull ups (did 6 reps)

My interview was quite random,
asking question about my CCA and worklife.
and how I manage to balance all this while studying!
Basically, I think I managed to clear my interview,
without much hiccups that is .

Alright, we had a long break.
The canteen was not that bad,
the burger tasted good and they have a mini arcade.
Cool ah! *brainwashing*

Medical Check up was fast, freaking FAST!
the officer just asked, "ANY INJURIES?".
cant they just make us declare in the forms?

After that, Daniel brought us round the camp.
showing us bits and pieces of what to expect.
We manage to catch a glimpse of the SOF in their tactical suit.
Damn Cool!!!
Awesome, I seriously wouldn't mind signing on :) *brainwashing*

Psycho-motor test included a series of test,

Balance - Tiptoeing with eyes closed and arms stretched for 30secs
Flexibility - Trunk Bending for 30secs
Agility - Burpees; twist n twist (6 reps in 30secs)
Endurance - Leg Lift and Back Lift for 30secs

Pretty Easy to clear actually....
In Fact, my whole detail cleared without much hassle.

The aptitude test is 3 hours long!
Like another Computer test in CMPB,
just that its manual work now...
no computer, only mcq sheets and 3 booklet namely,

IQ Test (5 section, 12 question each, 25mins)
Personality Test (186 questions, own time own target)
Stress Management (151 questions, own time own target)

Took my detail like 2hours plus to complete!

~End of Vocational Assessment~

Started at 7.30am
Finished at 2.30pm

My Best Birthday Ever!

Investiture was real touching!
Nearly Cried, *nearly*.
They had this real cool video and montage,
of Band in '07.
Percussion photos dominated the montage,
cause I submitted like 230+ photos!!!
Like every 1 in 3 pic is a percussion photo :)

We got the "Best Section Award",
no other section deserves it more!
We got both the Quarter Master and Librarian post.
Awesome Right...
Tara and Joey really did us proud :)

basically we walked and walked and walked.
catching sunrise at Esplanade park was impossible,
thanks to 4 gigantic flood lights. *irritating*

second attempt to catch a movie was a failure.

Donuts and Junk food :)

Evening Falls

When the evening falls and the daylight is fading,
From within me calls - could it be I am sleeping?
For a moment I stray, then it holds me completely.
Close to home - I cannot say.
Close to home feeling so far away.

As I walk the room, there before me a shadow
From another world, where no one can follow
Carry me to my own, to where I can cross over.....
Close to home - My heart aches.
Close to home feeling so far away.

Forever searching; never right, I am lost
In the oceans of night. Forever.
Hoping I can find memories.
Those sweet moments I left behind.

Even though I leave, will I go on believing
That this time is real - am I lost in this feeling?
Like a child passing through, never knowing the reason.
I am home - I found the way.
I am home feeling so far away.

The Bottom Line

Unleash your naturally warm nature today, and you'll be greeted with bright smiles.

In Detail

Unleash your naturally warm nature today, and everyone you meet will greet you with a bright smile and a hearty hello. Friendly folks are going to send good vibes your way, which will put some strong winds in your sail and help you toward the end of the day, when your energy might start to fade. It may help you to know that behind the scenes, things are really picking up. You may not be aware of it, but all signs are pointing toward a definite success.

2007-08-10T03:34:00.001+08:00

To all Employees:

Effective January 2007

Dress Code

1. It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If
we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a pay raise.

2. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer
clothes, and therefore you do not need a pay raise.

3. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and
therefore you do not need a pay raise.

Sick Days

We will no longer accept a doctor's certificate as proof of sickness.

If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Holiday Days

Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.

Compassionate Leave

This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you
can do for dead
friends, relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have
non-employees attend to the arrangements.

In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.

Toilet Use

1. Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a
strict three-minute time limit in the cubicles.

2. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll
will retract, the cubicle door will open, and your picture will be taken.

3. After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company notice board under the "Chronic Offenders"
category.

4. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the
company's mental health policy.

Lunch Break

1. Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more so that they can look healthy.

2. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to
maintain their average figure.

3. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time
needed to drink a Slim-Fast.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. Remember we are an employer of choice and we are here to provide a positive employment experience.

Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations,
irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations,
contemplations, consternation and input
should be directed elsewhere.
