When someone is in your life for a reason, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a season, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
Lifetime relationships teach you lifetime lessons.
They teach you things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

2009 was a year filled with beam s of joy, tears of grief, frowns of frustration, sulk of anger and gratification of success. Most significantly, the blossoms of love found its way to my garden of existence towards the last quarter of the year. I met the special someone whom I will never forget in the years to come. As the year comes to an end, I begin to count my blessings for things that had made my 2009 a joyful, fulfilling and victorious year for me.
1. My family – Thanks for being my loyal and dedicated “fans”, for loving me unconditionally, and giving utmost support in whatever I do.
2. My friends – Thanks for being my all-weathered friend, for caring and sharing with me, for being there for me when I am down in my spirits, for all the entertainment, joy and fun you had brought to me.
3. My lecturers/teacher – Thanks for instilling faith and hope in me, for guiding me through in my studies, for motivating whenever I felt like giving up.
4. My colleagues – Thanks for the little things that you did to bright up my day. Be it a candy, a joke, a passing remark or a compliment, they are my source of joys on moody days.
5. Iceman – Thanks for entering my life with love, hope, faith and joy. Thanks for making this 2009 a great and memorable year for me.I thought of u@22:49 ♥

Taiwan is an ideal travel destination for its good food, beautiful ocean, and stupendous mountains. On top of it, it's a shopping paradise which offers cheap and quality stuffs. Spending 8 days in Taiwan is simply not enough for me! Below are the some of the places we went:
Life is difficult. If it was all fluffy and easy, we wouldn't be tested, tried or forged in the fire of life. We wouldn't grow or learn to change or we have a chance to rise above ourselves. If there were no rain, then there wouldn't be any feeling of great joy when it finally stopped and we could go to the beach. If it were all easy, we couldn't get stronger.
There will be times when it's an uphill, upstream struggle. We will have to battle waterfalls, dams, and raging currents. But we know we have no choice. If not, we will be swept away.
We should see each setback as a chance to improve. They make us stronger. The struggles don't come to an end, of course. But there are lulls in-between times- backwaters where we can rest for awhile and enjoy the moment before the next obstacle gets thrown our way. That is what life is, what it is meant to be, a series of struggles and lulls.I thought of u@23:38 ♥

The Rainbow Connection
Why are there so many Songs about Rainbows And whats on the other side Rainbows are visions but only Illusions Rainbows have nothing to hide
Whats so amazing That it keeps us star gazing And what do they think we might see
Someday we'll find it The Rainbow Connection The lovers, the dreamers, and me
Have you been half asleep And have you heard the voices I've heard them calling my name Is this the sweet sound That calls the young sailors? The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many many times to ignore it It's something that I'm s'posed to be
Someday we'll find it The Rainbow Connection The lovers, the dreamers and me

I thought over 小姨 words. I finally understood everything. I see the big picture now. He has been trying so hard to dodge away from me, because he knows that it is difficult to bridge the differences in our age gap. He does not want to commit himself into an bottomless pit.
For myself, I do not mind being the one to love him more. I do not mind that he is a couple of years older than me. I do not mind committing at an early age. I do not mind that he is a workaholic and a temperamental person. Because of love, I am willing to be the one that sacrifices. But he does not want to give me a chance at all.
Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. This must be karma. Well, let’s leave it all to fate. If we are meant to be, we will be together someday, sometime....I thought of u@13:49 ♥

That morning, we bid Ivan farewell at the airport. All of us went with a heavy heart. He will be leaving for States due to his air force training, and will only be back two years later.
时间过得真快，一转眼，大家都长大了。我好怀念在中学念书的日子。It is where friendships were fostered, where memories were built. I would often dreamt that I went back to my secondary school for lessons. 难道我太怀旧当时念书的日子？Well, that was 3 years ago, when I was still a naive, quiet, and a soft-spoken adolescent.
3 years had since passed. I am aware of what I want in life now. My hopes and dreams are my source of motivation and that is all that I seek for at the moment.
Ivan: Till then, we will always miss you. ♥

At the moment when I have decided to unleash the anguish wounds from the past, I was liberated. Freed from hurt, pain, and hatred, I found myself picking up again from an obstacle which stumble me down along the journey of life. I must be really courageous and ready to take on any challenge that comes my way when I let my heart lead the way.
I was hurt deeply once, and hence the hindrance to love. But, he changed my life. Meeting him was one of the happiest and luckiest things that had happened to me. It is a joy to me, a new motivation to face the uncertainty of life. He had taught me many things that I had never once bothered. Because of him, I learnt how to accept someone for who he is. I learnt that love requires patience, perseverance and the giving of the heart. I learnt that love is about giving and taking. I learnt that even when I know he is not that into me, I would still hold on just for a glimmer of hope, because I believe. I learnt that once you have fallen in love with that person, you would think of the special someone all the time and wished that he is always by your side. I learnt that once you fall into the sandstorms of love, it is difficult to stand up on your feet again, no matter how hard you tried.
Initially, I felt there were some sparks between the two of us. We were very warm, forthcoming towards each other. But suddenly, the flame just went off. I don’t know what happened. I tried very hard to salvage the situation, but to no avail. You were giving me the cold shoulders on-and-off. I felt we are getting nowhere. I was very upset, disappointed in you. Why must you shatter my heart into pieces when I had just made a big step to piece them up?
Iceman, my feelings towards you have never changed, and will never change.I thought of u@00:10 ♥

每当我很不开心的时候 我总爱对自己说 这世界不是小小的屋椰 天空好大好远
不经过寒冬哪来梅花香 没有黎明怎么会有曙光 人生的道路崎岖或平坦 还不是要自己去承担
等待天亮期待曙光 将心中阴霾都照亮 假如全世界不再有黑暗 我的生命会不会更灿烂
谁能够只有快乐不悲伤 遇到挫折不沮丧 人生的旅途怎样多变幻 要靠自己的判断

The greatest challenge in our life is to find someone who knows your flaws and differences and yet still willingly embraces you with so much love. Love is a test of courage, patience, and determination.
She could not remember when is the last time she opened her heart to the door of love. It is tough to step out from the shadows of betrayal, pain, grief of her past. Being haunted by the excruciating memories, she lost the courage to plunge into the sandstorms of love. Then, she was given the chance to fall in love again. She was grateful that fate granted the chance for them to meet each other. She will definitely cherish this golden opportunity that God had bestowed to her.
Iceman, Thanks for bringing colours of hope, faith and happiness into my world, and all the wonderful moments you had brought me.=)I thought of u@14:52 ♥

A group of students werae asked to list what they thought were the present "Seven wonders of the world".
Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:
1. Egypt’s Great Pyramids 2. Taj Mahal 3. Grand Canyon 4. Panama Canal 5. Empire State Building 6. St. Peter’s Basilica 7. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little." I couldn’t quite make up my mind because there were so many." The teacher said, “Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help. " The girl hesitated, then read, “I think the 'Seven Wonders of the World' are: 1. To see
2. To Hear
3. To touch
4. To taste
5. To Feel
6. To laugh
7. To love
The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for grantedare truly wondrous! A gentle reminder - that the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.
