Love~

"LOVE", something you and I hear very often on television shows, radio shows, songs, movies, books and virtually on every possible media source. I looked it up the dictionary and I got this - "a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.".

I believe all of us, if not a huge majority of us have experienced love either on the giving or the receiving end. For most of us, we experience love from our parents. After all, it is our parents who brought us to this very world we live in. Believe you me, it was far from easy for them to bring us up and teach us to be good samaritans; at least for most of us.

A friend of mine suddenly pop a question to me a week ago, "why don't you blog about love and see what are your thoughts about love?". Frankly, I never really sat down to think about love. Probably due to the fact that I spend most of time hating my job!

So for today, I am going to try to ask myself what is love and what I perceive love to be. Perfect topic for tonight given my depressing and sad state.

I must admit, my very first experience of love came from my parents! If they neglected me, I would not be who I am today and I will not be even typing out this blog for the matter. I also felt love with my pet dog, - he never fails to come running towards me every night I get home tired and grouchy from work!

Otherwise, I felt love when I was dating some time ago. Ask me whether it was a nice feeling, I'd say it was a nice feeling. Sadly, I never had much dating experience due to poor management of emotions and time. Quite frankly, I duly admit it is something I must work on dearly!

I guess when someone asks me about love, presumably it should be relating to the lovey dovey situation people get into when falling for the opposite sex. I never had many relationships so, therefore it concludes my extreme lack of experience and exposure to such feelings. My perception - when someone meets the person he truly adores, it would be like having to be on cloud nine; totally falling head over heels for that one person; willing to do anything to get that one person's attention; and would ultimately want to be that one person's life long partner. From that perspective, love is not something one would be able to experience every day and it is something that comes when it just comes.

Personally, I have spoken to many wonderful wedded couples and I have asked them how is it that they knew they were right for each other. I think all the couples I spoke to gave me similar answers saying they never knew it was coming and somehow deep down in their hearts they knew the chemistry was right between both of them.

I guess I haven't reach a point in life where I can say, "she's the one!" :S

All it takes is a little encouragement

"A Life at Work" by Thomas Moore is currently the book I am reading. I have reached about half way so far and it has really given me a lot of in sight about my destiny or at least pointers to get me on my way to figure out what my life work is (i.e. your ideal work, work that fulfills you from the inside, food-for-the-soul kind of work). It's still a work in progress thing for me; a long way from reaching the full discovery point (if I ever reach it). Your life work can be as simple as helping old folks in need in a nursing home to something as simple as being a life guard. Simplest of work can be the most rewarding to a person's hear that's deep down. Of course, there's no denying that it is different for everyone. But sometimes, if not all the time, all it takes is a little encouragement from the people around you. Sometimes it is as simple as, "a job well done chump!" or "way to go bud!" or "you hit the home run mate!" or even

one foot in the past, another in the future........ what about the present?

All of us go through a cycle, what we commonly call - the past, present and the future. It can probably be summed up by this simple phrase: " we come from the past to be in the present and look forward to the future ". Now, what I want you to do is take a step back, or just give your mind a minute or two to digest the above mentioned phrase. Ask yourself if it applies to you. Really ask yourself; and I mean REALLY ask yourself in the most honest of manner, whether it really applies to you. You may find it difficult to arrive at a 'yes' and even if you do, you probably find yourself in a paralysis state of mind trying to justify the 'yes'. If you really ponder about it, you are likely to find that most of us would find this phrase more relevant instead: " we come from the past and look forward to the future " You will find many of us either hang on to the past or look far too forward into the future, or likely for some to even be dwelling too much in

Quick update.........

Having graduated last year in August and taking a break in Australia visiting my brother for a month, I really felt good about everything. Things just got better after that, having landed a job at Ernst & Young! :) Aaaaaahhhhh.... how fast time actually goes by! Passing the 10th of January 2007, I have already been working for 3 months. The feeling of getting older and learning new things everyday at work brings about a feeling of satisfication. Although, work is generally tough and tedious (what do you expect in the auditing line?). I must admit though, when I fast started off I did feel demotivated and some what unhappy with the job having to go back home at 3am and back to work by 8am the next day. I did think about quitting at that time........ :( However, a miracle happened to me! That miracle brought along a girl named Vern Cheng. Without her support, I would have struggled a lot more. After work, just seeing her brings about a feeling of happiness and a feeling of being cont
