The wheezing in my chest.

Thought of another cool thing randomly while taking a walk round my condo
Love is inflicting pain on yourself, when u realise that you are/were inflicting pain on the one you love.
Love is making a sacrifice so big in order to bring long term happiness to the one you love.
Love is when you spend hours staring into blank space, cause the only picture you see is one of the girl you love in your head.

I failed myself.
I failed you.

So yes, maybe what dixie said before was right
i love myself more than i love others.

(Adapted frm bonita yu nana's blog)

mebbe kids know more about love than ppl like us do..
coz de things they say about love do make a lot of sense..

"Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way."


"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."


"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."


"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."


"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."


"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."


"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."


"When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared they won't love you anymore. But then you get surprised because not only do they still love you, they love you even more."


"There are two kinds of love Our love. God's love. But God makes both kinds of them."


"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."


"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."


"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."


"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."


"Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken."


"Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."


"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."


"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."


"I let my big sister pick on me because my Mom says she only picks on me because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her."


"Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."


"God could have said magic words to make the nails fall off the cross,but.............. He didn't. That's love."


"Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don't yell at them because you know it would hurt their feelings."


"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth."



so here's what children think about love..
why not we sit about and think abt it ourselves...
what is love to us?
can love be as simple yet beautiful like how children perceive it to be?
or are we, influenced by the complexity of our complicated society, losing the true meaning of love?

The feelings I'm having,
I cannot comprehend
The dreams and thoughts I saw,
I wish I'd never had

With all these activities that are
running through my head
Just lying and trying to sleep,
I cannot- in my bed

Without thinking of all the great
memories and times we've shared
And all the secrets
I have bared!

But, I could never love another
as true and pure of heart
So for now.....
I'll stick around and we wont be apart

i suddenly realised how i cant deal with lots of problems
mebbe i'm just not mature enuf
but den again
at 21?
hahs... wads up man...

i think i make everyone around me miserable.

what a draggy and drone-ish (is there such a word aniwae?) sunday...
i'm on de verge of catching a rather bad flu... coz i'm sneezing and coughing like nobody's business..
and i'm gettin a headache, my throat's hurting and i've absolutely no energy to do anything whatsoever...

woke up at 3am last nite and subsequently cldn't sleep...
i dunno wads wrong but i had like weird subconscious dreams (which feels like i'm awake yet i'm not exactly awake, nor sleeping)
den de air con suddenli felt a little too warm, so i turned it down a degree, and all of a sudden i was shivering...blahblahblah~
woke up, took a slight overdose of coughmixture coz i was lazy to use de spoon, and den fell asleep...
woke up this morning feeling as though i DID take too much coughmixture.. coz my head was light and everything..
woke up to de silence of my house. parents were in church, and de house was stuffy and silent.
==========

okae, mebbe i shld stop whining abt how horrible de day started for me..

beginning to think abt my future education
NUS FASS?
NTU NIE Bachelor of Arts scholarship
OR
La-SAlle music technology degree..

sigh...
why am i 21. why haf i reached de age where i haf to start worrying abt all these shit?

aniwae.. i nv expected to ever skate again...
maybe coz i feel old and i think ice skating's a young person thing...
but well, was thinking of fun new activities to engage in when lydia and i both decided on ice skating....
wanted more ppl along so i tried to get all my frens.. onli michael agreed though..so michael me, kailing and lydia went ice skating yesterday...
