perfect couple

I was taking a walk to my optician in a shopping mall when I came across an unusual sight. There was this couple who were walking out of the lift, the girl was on a wheel chair and the guy on a pair of crutches. Minus the fact that they were less capable physically clearly didn't stop them from being happy.

They were talking to each other very cheerfully and I could see they were in love with each other. You'd know two persons are in love with each other when the two of them can look into each others' eyes with a touch of gentleness and softness only people in love would know. I might be making an assumption here considering I haven't had extensive experience in the topic of love but I do know parents can give their kids such gentle gazes even at times when a parent is upset with a child (I know since I used to get it a lot from my mom.................. and dad).

We all like to dream of having a perfect companion. I mean who wouldn't? You would too right?

It can be quite funny at times when some of my friends can give me vivid descriptions of how they want their 'perfect' girl to be. Although, I tend to hold the opinion that the harder you wish for it, the harder it is for you to find your 'perfect' match (a.k.a. Murphy's Law).

But does it really matter? I mean in terms of having the opposite sex meet one's wish list.

Falling for someone can be as easy as love-at-first-sight for some people. For others, it could involve a lot of communication to understand each other before making the lunge into the vault of emotions. There are a plethora of permutations of which I won't dive into simply because I am not a psychologist and I couldn't possibly map out all the permutations.

But one thing's for sure - falling in love does not require a reason or justification, all it requires is for two people to be able to look into each other eyes at anytime, anywhere and say with all truthfulness and sincerity, "I love you........."

Love knows no boundaries, love couldn't care less if she's shorter than me, love couldn't care less if she's not as pretty as the girl next door, love couldn't care less if she wasn't born rich, love couldn't care less if she isn't smart, love couldn't care less if she paralysed waist-down.

Love only requires time, patience, tolerance, honesty and most importantly, sincerity................ The short moment I saw the couple in the shopping mall, I could tell they loved each other and made a perfect couple despite their physical imperfections. I truly wish them a happy future........

hiatus!

After having been online on the ~Path of Time~ since 2006..... it is going to be hard, painful and sad. As of today, I will officially stop writing on the ~Path of Time~. For those who have continued to read my posts, I thank you very much for taking timeout to read my posts. I am not sure if all my writings were great but I'll be happy to know even if it was only one post that reached your heart. I may one day pick up from where I left off here but only time will tell. Who knows I might even start afresh? Until next time.......... time stops ticking for the ~Path of Time~

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 ...

my first tow truck ride

It was like every other Saturday morning for me yesterday. Woke up early to get breakfast, get ready for my weekly rock climbing sessions. I felt pretty good yesterday since I managed to sleep the night before so I was feeling very energized and upbeat about my climb session. I might have spoke too soon though because my car decided to pull a fast one on me. I found it surprising because I always went on preventive maintenance for my car so I really wasn't expecting any breakdowns especially I didn't hear any sound symptoms, neither did I saw any signs of an impending breakdown. After all, it is only logical that mechanical parts would give out some form of symptoms to let you know it's about to go. I was actually driving myself to rock climbing, feeling all geared up and gung-ho about it. As I approached an uphill climb and right bend, I realised I was losing compression and the car was starting not respond to my pedal work on the accelerator. To make matters worse because...
