Today, let's talk about love...

Love is ready to suffer
Ready to endure
Holding through pain
To last forever pure
Love is ready to give
Instead of take
It is patient and kind
And never breaks
Love always forgives
And is ready to mend
It is there to hope
And dream again
Love is never rude
And never hates
It takes no pleasure
In other people's pain
Love is ready to suffer
Ready to endure
Holding through pain
To last forever pure


they say that love is blind, well, in my point of view it's not just blind, it's deaf too! haha
how did i come to this astonishing finding? well sometimes you don't have to look too far away from home to realize certain things in life.

for one, i've always been proud that i have a complete family till now. i mean who knows about the future yeah? but now it still stands fine. and i've witness those mushy scenes that i thought will only happen in movies and dramas at home between my parents. my dad's not really shy about expressing his love publicly before me and my brother, especially when he's a little tipsy.

there are times where he would say he's very proud of his wife (my mom of cos) course with her at home, he can rest assure that things will run smoothly at home while he's out at work. can see how much my dad treasures my mom here. but what puzzles me is how he manages to "tahan" all those years of naggings??

ok, to be truthful, my mom's not really one with 魔鬼般身材, 天使般脸孔kinda lady. in fact, when i saw photos of her in the past, i was thinking, "what in the world was dad thinking about when he woo-ed mom?!?!" but as the saying goes, "love is blind" and of cos when you truly love a person, looks doesn't matter. at least one thing's for sure, it's true love for them. (i mean what else can it be?? voodoo magic?) one thing i've learnt is that looks are not important, what's important is that it can be modified with time. what's not able to modify however is the heart of a person.

so, we've touched on the "blind" aspect of love. now, the deaf part. being children we know how powerful our mothers' nagging can be. not only can they make you irritated on you possibly happiest days, it can also make you go berserk on your most sane days. i know, all moms have this superpower ability. if my mom were a character in "bleach", she would have the nagging power equivalent to that of captain level. scary right? normally i'll just collapse under her amazingly huge "rietsu". more often then not, it makes me lose my mind and scenes of impending death usually flood before my eyes, creating scenes of what could have been the end of days if i do not follow her commands. recently i've discovered that mom is gaining certain stand and power at home. as she told me how she was "bullied" and criticized for her bad cookings etc by my grandfather, i realized she has risen up the ranks and emerged as the "empress dowager". seems like now, mom fears no one. and no one dares defy her. especially on her decision that we should eat out at restaurants during the cny reunion dinners course she doesn't wanna clean up after everyone.

eh? how come we talk until here already? like so totally no link haha...anyway, back to my topic on "love is blind and deaf". as i was saying, love is all about giving and sacrificing unconditionally, but how many of us can really do so? i used to dream of having my own family at age 26 just straight after i graduate from uni. seems like now, when reality sets in, it's quite impossible. where will any girl wanna marry a guy with no career, money or a car? like so no security yea? and on certain points on love that my friend and i (both still un-loved now, meaning single and available and up for grabs!) have come up on about love and the "shallowness" of it. we raised certain doubts about finding true love too. but that is so not the point on today's topic. should we raise that again, i'll blog about it k?

in conclusion, you won't know true love till you see it with your own eyes (at home for example). but for many people's cases they don't see it happening so they doubt it. but nevertheless, when you find true everlasting bliss and "the one", don't be stingy about sharing your love with him/her/it, sacrifices and being "blind" and "deaf" are secrets to a long lasting relationship/marriage. don't dream too much about having someone like "wu zhun" as your other partner. disappointment usually follow closely behind reality's footsteps.
