What is love, What is life?

The Most Beautiful Flower

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read
Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree
Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown
For the world was intent on dragging me down
And if that weren't enough to ruin my day
A young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play
He stood right before me with his head tilted down
And said with great excitement, "Look what I found"
In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight
With its petals all worn - not enough rain, or too little light
Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play
I faked a small smile and then shifted away
But instead of retreating he sat next to my side
And placed the flower to his nose
And declared with overacted surprise
"It sure smells pretty and it's beautiful, too"
That's why I picked it; here, it's for you
The weed before me was dying or dead
Not vibrant of colors: orange, yellow or red !
But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave
So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need"
But instead of him placing the flower in my hand
He held it mid-air without reason or plan
It was then that I noticed for the very first time
That weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind
I heard my voice quiver; tears shone in the sun
As I thanked him for picking the very best one
"You're welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play
Unaware of the impact he'd had on my day.
I sat there and wondered how he managed to see
A self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree
How did he know of my self-indulged plight
Perhaps from his heart, he'd been blessed with true sight
Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see
The problem was not with the world; the problem was me
And for all of those times I myself had been blind
I vowed to see the beauty in life
And appreciate every second ! that's mine
And then I held that wilted flower up to my nose
And breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose
And smiled as I watched that young boy
Another weed in his hand
About to change the life of an unsuspecting old man




The most beautiful flower...

Appreciate when love is still around

by Phan Su Ming


As time passes by, we tend to take loads and loads of things for granted.
Especially in love. Why?
It may be due to the fact that we are being taken care of and being loved,
being pampered...and everything lovely.

Just like the movie, Moulin Rouge...once there is
TRUTH - from words spoken
BEAUTY - from within
FREEDOM - being able to choose to be together
then, comes LOVE which is priceless and unconditional.

Love always decide our future as it mentally affects us directly or indirectly more than anything else
- especially girls ( being the more emotional being ).

A friend once told me that though we may never expect our loved one to treat us like how we wanted to,
yet, he/she may have done so in their own ways.
Arguments always start from misunderstanding because of differences in personality and character.
And this difference is what brings one party and another together so that we would be able to know,
learn and understand one another.

Never complain why one party behaves in a certain manner when you never do so,
cos you yourself may have triggered some undesired talk or an annoying behaviour that the other party feels irritated.

Every person has its pros and cons in leading his/her life.
We should instead look at the better perspective of one and appreciate it cos,
you may lose out on that point.

One shouldn't compare in a relationship.
If one still insists, then look at the differences and appreciate that he/she is still with you.
I'm sure girls hurt more than the men, as when she would like to disagree, the man may not like it.
and that she couldn't voice up her dislike, cos the man would think that she's trying to trigger a havoc.

Girls have the desire to remember the past.
Cos, as I said earlier, girls are the more emotional party and they would always take everything seriously
(affecting their mental well-being).
That's why they hurt so much...and a hurt to them is like thousands of nails pricking into their hearts.
Every single hurt(though uncountable)allows thousands of undesired pain attacking them.
Therefore, it may not be easy for a girl to forget what they had been through.
Guys may not feel the same as they are...mm...the type - "take it or leave it"
Think of the good points he/she had done for you which in your past, was never given or pampered to.

So, you guys out there...never hurt your gf. Instead, learn to understand by talking to them.
Appreciate them before it's too late.

Just note that if your heart doesn't belong to the one you love at the moment, let go.
As for guys, they want to own everything or nothing at all- it's their nature and their ego.

Follow your feelings. If one feels like doing something which hasn't been done, go ahead with it.
or, you'll regret in the future for not even attempting.

Not until I talked to a very close friend whom I respect fully, only then,
I knew what I was supposed to do , I finally followed what my heart desires and I never regretted doing so...
cos I never knew I was being cherished all these while I'm not around for and I know how important my life is to these people.

I will never regret what I had done, not anymore. Cos I finally opened my heart and let it do the talking.

Remember...
THE BEST HAPPINESS IS TO LOVE AND BEING LOVED IN RETURN...

If I could make one wish...I would wish for girls to be really understanding and not behave childishly
and for the guys to let go their EGO.
Both parties have to do their part for love to bloom.

Happiness is there..it's just a matter of how you want to see and choose it.

A Love Story


Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness,
Knowledge,and all of the others including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings
that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left.

Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island was almost
sinking, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat.
Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't.
There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel,
"Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you Love. You are all wet and might
damage my boat." Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh....Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love too, but he was so happy that she did not even hear
when Love called her!

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an elder.
Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder his name.
When they arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way.

Love realizing how much he owed the elder and asked Knowledge, another elder,
"Who helped me?" "It was Time," Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked Love.
"But why did Time help me?" Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered,
"Because, only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."
