They say love is

Many splendid things

greatest refreshment in life

mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.

sacrifice

like water; We can fall in it. We can drown in it. And we can't live with out it.

3/4 dream and 1/4 reality

butterflies in your tummy

smiling retardedly while looking at your smses

above all, the gift of oneself

a rollar-coaster ride

Holding hands whenever the car stops at the red light.

Re-collecting all the wonderful times spent together

Going the extra mile

laying under the stars not saying anything

is like water; We can fall in it. We can drown in it. And we can't live with out it.

He says

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, always perseveres. --1 Corinthians 13:4-7

He says

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:12-13)


He says

Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD. (Leviticus 19:18)


He says

Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth. (1 john 3:18)

And he stretched out his arms and died on that cross.

Help me learn how to grasp the true meaning of love

Above all else,

help me learn to love you first

CNY has been great so far.
super good reunion dinner with good fellowship and countless lame jokes.
Enjoyed the time i had with my cuzzies :)
ash, you are super bimbotic! LOL

Contented with the hong baos.
not a lot but good enough :)

The HIGHLIGHT

Went with carol to my lil darl, joye's house for dinner.
SHE SOO SUPER CUTE.
Her brothers are super super nice, serving us drinks and food.

HAHA
there were like many kids there.
so carol and I, obviously portraying a lot of our motherly instincts, went to play with them.
We did a song presentation with the kids to show joye's brothers.
Mainly the kids singing.
SUPER FUNNY AND CUTE.

used my hp, on some hip, happening hannah montanah/ hsm songs to dance.
we off the lights and danced together with the kids.
I tell you it was hilarious.
there was this young boy doing HIS version of break dance.
Whenever i am with kids i feel so carefree.
Like they are so natural and innocent.

:)

Got to know joyes family so much more now.
And i am so thankful for this completely no link relationship with them!

Anyways

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE :)

Thank you for leaving footprints in my heart in a way or another.

For helping me overcome the toughest periods of my life.

It has not been a easy year for me but I learnt so so so much.

I am so excited for the things to come in 2009.

Lord, here I stand with empty hands

Alien
lao ba

But why is it still so tough.
make it go awayy.

DIS' the season to be MARRIED.

FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA.

I attended 3 weddings this year already ok!

such a blissful feeling.

HEE

:)

I was thinking, if you marry the right guy who knows how to treat a girl with respect and love.

Takes spiritual leadership over the household.

loves God.

That would be fantastic.

BUT BUT if you marry some monster.

Life would be HORRIBLE.

Then I rather not marry.

Can you imagine arguing everyday. look at each other with such disgust.

Makes you feel like a trapped bird.

Because I am never for divorce.

To me, committment within a marriage is very important.

At least that's how i grew up learning.

HAHA Thank Goodness I don't have to ponder about such a big issue now :)

I shall just continue to twirl in my lil world of rainbows and ponies.

My awesomee cuzzie!

Jia you for your family's salvation ok!

I know God will be faithful to you and them :)

My wonderful wonderful parents.

My mum is so popular among my friends.

HILARIOUS.

You should see how she tries to converse with them sometimes.

Trying hard to use youth lingos like LOL.

And she starts her convo with "YO!" (My brother's influence )

when we got really bored.The people on our table.

OOOOOOOOOOOO look at those cuties.

I had a hard time trying not to pinch their cheeks!

The smaller one is such a bubbly kid.

When kids smile, it really MELTS my heart.

" Hello everyone. My name is Shannon and I think I am really cute :D"

One of the very main reason I want to get married its because I LOVE LOVE children.

BAHAHAHA.
