Love is patient,
Love is kind,
Love isn't jealous
It doesn't sing its own praises,
It isn't arrogant,
It isn't rude
It doesn't think about itself,
It isn't irritable
It doesn't keep track of wrong
It isn't happy when injustice is done,
but it is happy with the truth.
Love never stops being patient,
Never stops believing,
Never stops hoping,
Never gives up.
Love never comes to an end.
1 Corinthians 13

A Soulful Relationship
If you're not married, share this with a friend. If you are married, share it with your spouse or other married couples and reflect on it.
An African proverbs states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you are married, close one eye"
Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or low self esteem, make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren't really important.
Once you have decided to commit to someone, overtime, his or her flaws, vulnerabilities, pet peeves and differences will become more obvious.
If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you've got to learn to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you. You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, values, dreams, weaknesses and strengths.
You are two unique individuals children of God who have decided to share a life together.
Neither of you are perfect, but are you perfect for each other? Do you bring out the best in each other? Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete, compare and control? What do you bring to the relationship? Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain?
You can't take someone to the altar to alter him or her. You can't make someone love you or make someone stay. If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment and "a life", you won't find youself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for you pain.
Manipulation, control, jealousy, neediness and selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving and lasting relationship! Seeking status, sex, wealth and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relatonship.
What keeps a relationship strong?
Communication, intimacy, trust, a sense of humour, sharing household tasks, some get away time without business or children and daily exchanges (a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a note). Leave a nice message on the voicemail or send or nice email.
Sharing common goals and intersts. Growth is important. Grow together, not away from each other, giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure. Allow your mate to have outside interest. You can't always be together. Give each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment. Don't try to control one another.
Learn each other's family situation. Respect his or her parents regardless.
Don't put pressure on each other for material goods. Remember for richer or poorer. If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty, and pain replace the passion.
The difference between 'United' and 'Untied' is where you put the 'i'...

To The Nurses Of The World
You evangelists of encouragement, you are so much more than you know.
You have never let what you couldn't do stop you from doing all your could do.
You are salespeople; your briefcase are filled with a product called hope.
You are explorers, knowing that once you have gone as far as you can see, you will still see farther.
You are singers spreading the melody of consideration.
You are lawyers making a case for life.
You are authors helping others add more pages to their book of memories.
You are comedians dispensing the medicine of laughter.
You are magicians creating miracles that inspire patients and families.
Like King arthur and Joan of Arc, you are warriors battling against the villians of negativity.
Dorothy would have reached Oz much faster in the company of one nurse.
For no one can practice your profession unless they already possess a brain brimming with wisdom, boundless courage and a heart filled with love.
You are living proof that humanity is created in the image and likeness of God, and the name of that God is LOVE.

Love In Your Hands
The old man lay all alone and stared out through his haze.
I knew his eyes were almost gone and wondered at his gaze.
Perhaps he saw his childhood on carefree running legs.
But his legs were long-since lost to diabetes' grasp.
To change his bed and bathe him was my only task.
Not wanting much to startle him, I called out softly, "Sir."
He stirred his body towards me glazed eyes focused near.
"Who's that? I don"t know the voice. What you doing here?"
Name spoken, "I just came to to fix your bed and such."
"Watch out! Don't hurt me none." he shrank back from my touch.
"Them other ones, they are rough you know, they jerks and pulls me round.
And sometime I gets afraid they'll drop me to the ground!"
I couldn't lift him all alone not causing fear or pain.
No one around, and so I went to get the lifting frame.
We talked and slowly did the things we had to do.
Refreshed and dressed, he grasped my hand
And said, "Son, God bless you.
Some folks is rough and short, and mean
and though you be a man,
I wanna tell you something,
You got love in your hands."

Joanne
I was aborted in 1991 via the MTPT (mid trimester pregnancy termination) method. It was horrid as my precious life was taken away from me by a prostaglandin. I struggled hard against it but in the end I lost the 'battle'...
It began when my mummy concieved me in her first 12 days of gestation and she drank alcohol on purpose with the intention to cause herself a miscarriage. It didn't work...
During my mummy's ultrasound scan in the 15th week of gestation it showed that I had acrania and would not be able to survive even when I was born. (It was all mummy's fault! Had she not drank alcohol, I wouldn't had this condition. It was her fault that even if I was born into this world, I wouldn't be viable. ) Mummy's gynaecologist advised her to terminate the pregnancy due to my condition. Mummy agreed.
After my life ended, I became a wandering soul and joined my 'friends' who were also aborted. We could not go to heaven. We had to wait for our mummies to bring us there. We became lonely and depressed knowing that we were deprived of the chance to experience the human world. The hate and rejection from our mummies hurt as even more... We cried for our mummies, we desperately yearn to experience the joys of having a family.
I decided to 'haunt' my mummy and make her write a book on me. I want the world to know that I could have a chance to led a normal human life if my mummy didn't drink that alcohol. I want the world to know that abortion hurts the baby too... I want the world to realise that even unborn babies have feelings and have the right to live.
I wish in my next life, I wouldn't be aborted again. I want to experience the life stages from womb to tomb...

Discrimination
Please strip away the veil,
Look behind the mask,
For you see my face,
As it pleases you.
See my beauty not your face,
Look upon my joys and not despair,
For I am no beast but human,
And I truly wish to be no burden.
Can't you see I strive to be just like you?
Grant me some happiness,
Between my madness,
(for that is not me)
Give me hope that I may succeed.
Look at our hearts,
I have eyes,
Can't you see that I am like you,
And like me...

In Memories Of I_ _ N (friends close to me would noe who this person is)
We started off innocently. Both of us first time in love or perhaps for you, it wasn't what you would call love... But for me, it was my first time experiencing being in a relationship.
We were 14 then. We still very young and were in supposed to be studying hard instead. We were in the same class and you were sitting diagnonally from me. We both enjoyed Literature and hated Mandarin classes.
We were a couple on 3 Feb 1997 but broke off on 24 March 1997.
I know it has been so long and I shouldn't be harping on it already. But what am I supposed to do? Forget whatever we had and pretend that it never happened? It is impossible! You were the first guy I ever trusted and loved.
You almost hit Chong Boon just because of a lame joke he made which offended me. You even crooned 'I Swear' to me when you were at my house before school started. We even chose to walk home after school instead of taking the bus just to spend more time together. You carried my file and held my hand. Just a peck on your cheeks from me made you turned very red. You gave me a gold-plated necklace with a dove pendant on Valentines' Day. I simply was thrilled. I was almost touched to tears...
There was once we missed the school excursion bus and ended up going to Sunplaza Park. You made me a ring from a steel wire. We had so much fun!
All these probably meant nothing to you. But it means a lot to me. I have held these events so dearly in my memories... You have most likely forgot all about it. I still do remember...
You broke off with me without telling me a reason. It was the Monday after the March school holidays, during recess at the school library. I was sure hell angry at you and hated you to the core. From that moment, I promised myself to spite you back for jilting me. I really hated you lots! However, you never cared... You didn't even feel sorry for breaking off with me.
One year later, you transferred out the school to another school nearer to your home. I acted coolly to the news. But deep down inside my heart, I was upset and knew that I would missed you.
Anyway, all these had happened so long ago, I finally fell deeply in love with another guy 3 years after we broke off.
Now, you and I are different individuals with different characters and different worlds of our own. I waited for you... I was foolish enough to think that you would come back into my life. I finally woke up from my naive dreams.
I deceived the world that I was happy flirting around and changing boyfriends like changing clothes. Deep down, I was hurting and self-destructing... Things are different now... I am letting all these yearning for you go... I am gonna start a brand new life... However, I won't forget you and all the sweet things that happened 7 years ago.
I am foolish right?! What to do? First love and first cut would be always be the deepest...

Juz 4 Jeff
It was Friday (26-05-2000), Jeff was rushing to meet a girl whom he never seen before... He was running late. He promised to meet this girl at Tampines MRT at 7pm for dinner to pass her a book. The time was 7.15pm.
His pager beeped. Jeff took out his handphone and decided to call back.
Jeff: "I've reached. I am sorry that I am late. Where are you?"
Girl: " It is okie. I am outside Guardian. How do I recognize you?"
Jeff: " I am wearing Black shirt and a White jeans. Carrying a big, thick, big book. You?"
Girl: " I am in White Espirit shirt and Blue jeans."
Jeff's eyes darted around and walked towards Guardian Pharmacy. He spotted the girl he was supposed to be meeting... As he introduced himself to the girl, he was still panting for breath as he had ran from the bus stop to the MRT station. Unknown to him, the girl was trying hard not to laugh at his messy hair and beads of sweat that was running down his forehead.
"Let's go to Century Square for dinner. We can dine in at Sushi Tei. I have two friends who works there." offered the girl.
"Okie." said Jeff. " By the way, this is the book you've asked for..." Even before he had ended his sentence, the girl had already 'snatched' the book from his hand and was flipping it while walking.
The dinner was awkard one as Jeff tried to impressed the girl with his knowledge of Nursing and the girl was too shy to answer much. The more Jeff tried harder to maintain his composure, the more clumsy he became, dropping his pager and spectacles from his shirt pocket. The girl just laughed at his clumsiness.
After dinner, he was introduced to the girl's friends, ShuZhen and KaiJia, who worked at the restaurant...
At around 10pm, the girl said that she had to go home leaving him to continue interacting with ShuZhen and KaiJia...
Jeff: "Can you meet again tomorrow?"
Girl: "No... I am sorry, I am not free."
Jeff: " How about Sunday?"
Girl: "Err.. no... I am usually not free on weekends as I have to meet my boyfriend who is in the army."
Jeff: "Then when I can meet you again?"
Girl: " I will call you."
Jeff's heart sunk... He was not sure when he would be able to meet this girl again... He was upset that this girl had a boyfriend. He was starting to have a crush on this girl...
Two weeks had passed... The girl had not called him. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore. He decided to call this girl.
Jeff: "Hi."
Girl: "Hi..."
Jeff: "Remember me?"
Girl: "Yeah."
Jeff: "How have you been?"
Girl: "I broke off with my boyfriend."
Jeff:"Oh... I am sorry."
Girl:" Nevermind. It is okie."
Jeff: "Wanna meet?"
Girl: "Erm.. no... I wanna watch Romeo and Juliet tonight at 7pm."
Jeff: "Tomorrow?"
Girl: "Can... Your book... I have not finished with it."
Jeff: "It is okie... No hurry... You can pass it back to me some other day when you are done with it. So where do we meet? I am free after my attachment at SGH. That would be at 4pm."
Girl: "Okie... See you at SGH tomorrow. 4pm outside the foodcourt."
Jeff: "Okie... See you."
Girl: "See you. Gotta go. Bye."
As Jeff hung up the phone, he was ecstatic... He decided to use the opportunity tomorrow to tell this girl about his feelings for her.
The next day, he met the girl at SGH and went out for dinner. The whole meeting, Jeff tried to find the right time to let the girl know about how he felt about her. But he didn't get the chance. Words just could not come out from his mouth...
Back at home, Jeff decided that he had to get it off his chest a.s.a.p and now delay anymore furthur. He called the girl on her handphone...
Jeff: "Hi, Jeff here."
Girl: "Yup. I know. Caller-ID."
Jeff: "Er... I have something to tell you, hope that you wouldn't get shocked."
Girl: "What?"
Jeff: "Er... Nevermind."
Girl: " Say it. What is it?"
Jeff: " Nevermind, forget it."
Girl: "Just say it."
Jeff: "I like you."
Girl: (speechless)
Jeff: "Erm... nevermind... Take it as I never said it."
After a long pause...
Girl: "Me too. That's why I broke off with my boyfriend."
Jeff: "Really?"
Girl: (nodded her head) "Yeah."
Jeff: "Er... then would you be my girlfriend?"
Girl: "Not now. Let me consider it first. I wanna clear out my mind before I enter into another relationship. I dun want to rush into another relationship not knowing if is love or just another crush."
Jeff: (in softer voice) "Okie."
Girl: "Give me some time to think about it."
Jeff: "Sure. I would be patiently waiting for the answer from you."
Girl: "Thanks."
Jeff: "Bye."
Girl: "Bye."
On 10 May 2000, Jeff recieved a call from the girl...
Girl: "The answer is YES."
Jeff: "wo yi ding hui rang ni bi wo xing fu. wo bu hui rang ni hou hui xuan ze wo."
Girl: "Ok. Make sure you keep your promise."
His pager beeped. Jeff took out his handphone and decided to call back.
Jeff: "I've reached. I am sorry that I am late. Where are you?"
