What if Tomorrow Never Comes?


If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight..
So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear,
Take time to say "I'm sorry," "please forgive me," "thank you" or "it's okay". And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.

Love... in Sickness & in Health


The passengers on the bus watched sympathetically as the attractive young woman with the white cane made her way carefully up the steps. She paid the driver and, using her hands to feel the location of the seats, walked down the aisle and found the seat he’d told her was empty. Then she settled in, placed her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against her leg. It had been a year since Susan, 34, became blind. Due to a medical misdiagnosis she had been rendered sightless, and she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity. And all she had to cling to was her husband, Mark.
Mark was an Air Force officer and he loved Susan with all his heart. When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair and was determined to help his wife gain the strength and confidence she needed to become independent again.
Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there? She used to take the bus, but was now too frightened to get around the city by herself. Mark volunteered to drive her to work each day, even though they worked at opposite ends of the city. At first, this comforted Susan, and fulfilled Mark’s need to protect his sightless wife who was so insecure about performing the slightest task. Soon, however, Mark realized the arrangement wasn’t working. Susan is going to have to start taking the bus again, he admitted to himself. But she was still so fragile, so angry how would she react?
Just as he predicted, Susan was horrified atthe idea of taking the bus again. “I’m blind!” she responded bitterly. “How am I supposed to know where I am going? I feel like you’re abandoning me.”
Mark’s heart broke to hear these words, but he knew what had to be done. He promised Susan that each morning and evening he would ride the bus with her, for as long as it took, until she got the hang of it.
And that is exactly what happened. For two solid weeks, Mark, military uniform and all, accompanied Susan to and from work each day. He taught her how to rely on her other senses, specifically her hearing, to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new environment. He helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat.
Finally, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own. Monday morning arrived, and before she left, she threw her arms around Mark, her temporary bus-riding companion, her husband, and her best friend. Her eyes filled with tears of gratitude for his loyalty, his patience, and his love. She said good-bye, and for the first time, they went their separate ways.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... Each day on her own went perfectly, and Susan had never felt better. She was doing it! She was going to work all by herself.
On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual. As she was paying the fare to exit the bus, the driver said, “Boy, I sure do envy you. “
Susan wasn’t sure if the driver was speaking to her or not. After all, who on earth would ever envy a blind woman who had struggled just to find the courage to live for the past year? Curious, she asked the driver, “Why do you say that you envy me?”
The driver responded, “It must feel good to be taken care of and protected like you are.”
Susan had no idea what the driver was talking about, and again asked, “What do you mean?”
The driver answered, “You know, every morning for the past week, a fine-looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing across the corner watching you as you get off the bus. He makes sure you cross the street safely and he watches until you enter your office building.
Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a little salute and walks away. You are one lucky lady.”

How to Know if You are in Love

What, then, is this elusive thing called love that everyone so desperately needs? Sometimes, we sort of like this girl because she is beautiful ? Or the girl likes him because he is handsome? But this kind of "Cinderella Syndrome" when the girl is waiting on her Prince Charming, is not real love. It is better known as "infatuation", and there is a vast difference between it and real love. Here, we help you to differentiate and find out if you are really in love and not just infatuation.

Infatuation


Infatuation is a feeling; real love involves a commitment also. Infatuation is just love of emotion. Real love, though, is love of devotion. Only the emotions are affected in infatuation, but in real love both the emotions and the will are involved. Next, a person "fall into" infatuation, but "grows into" real love. Guys, have you ever seen a girl who was so beautiful that you thought you'd faint? This is infatuation! It is based totally on physical attraction; often you don't know much in-depth about the person you so-called love. Thus, infatuation is mostly biological. Also remember, never tell a girl you love her, unless you are willing to marry her.

Then, infatuation is basically selfish where real love is basically selfless . Infatuation is more interested in satisfying yourself and the "feeling" than it is in the other person. Real love is primarily interested in the other person. It seeks to give instead of get.. Love unselfishly seeks the highest good for the other person. Lastly, infatuation is weakened by time and separation where real love is strengthened by time and separation. This does not mean that there will be no pain in separation. On the contrary, there is great pain in separation if you are truly in love.



Love

Love is patient. The word translated "patient" means to wait patiently for the fulfillment of expectations. When you have diffculty dating this girl and she does not want to come out, if you truly love her, you will not complain and blame her, you must look at the situation from her point of view - maybe she is having some problems which prevented her from coming out. You must react to it with patience and understanding. Next, have you ever met someone you liked so much that you wanted to push the relationship and make it progress faster? Sure you have! Love, however, is willing to give a relationship time to grow at a natural pace. It does not push but is willing to wait for the relationship to grow at a rate that is satisfactory to both parties. Love is Kind. Love seeks to encourage and build up others. It respects the feelings and emotions of others.. It finds its greatest satisfaction in making others happy.


You can do the following:
1)Give one another things such as gifts and encouragment cards.
2)Compliment one another. Magnify the other party's strength.
3)Listen to one another. Pay close attention to what each of you has to say and make each other feel that what each says is important.
4)Treat one another special in public. Compliment and encourage one another sincerely in the presence of others

Love is Not Jealous

Jealousy usually indicates an insecure and immature heart. Love wants the best for others, but jealousy is possessive. Jealous is reflected in the childish statement, "If he is going to talk to her, then he can just forget about me!" Often, one person wants to totally possess the other and to restrict her relationships with others.


Love is Not Brag

Love is not a windbag and is not anxious to impress. Often a guy will brag to a girl, trying to impress her so that she will like him. A truly great person, however, does not need to exalt himself! Others will exalt him.


Love is Not Arrogant

Love is not conceited, boastful, cocky, or stuck-up. Love, instead, is humble and has a servant attitude. Sometimes, a guy may come across to a girl with an "I can take you or leave you" attitude. His demeanour implies, "You ought to be thankful that somebody as neat as me is dating you." Of course, this is not love.


Love always covers

This word cover means to pass over in silence, to keep confidential. Love is patient with the faults of others. It doesn't critcise and broadcast to the world the faults of others. Love is there even when it knows the other is not perfect.


Love always Perseveres
Love always stands its ground and holds out. It will outlast anything. It will even love in the face of unreturned love.Real love will last though all sorts of trials, tribulations and stresses.



Love is Not Provoked

This means that love has a long fuse. It does not become irritated and angry. It is not easily offended. Love does not seek its own This is the heart of love. Love is other-centred rather than self-centred. Love says, "I love you, I want to give to you." Selfishness says, "I love you, I want you!"


Love does not act unbecomingly
This means that love does not behave disgracefully, dishourably or indecently. It does not embarrass others by its action. It is characterised by tact and sensitivity. This also means that love should have good manners. Be sure to do little things like opening doors for your girl, or offering her your arm when you walk together.

Love is forgiving

Lastly, this is a MUST for a successful love story. If a guy is not willing to forgive and forget when his girlfriend is one hour late, he is not exhibiting love. Love doesn't hold grudges when it has been wronged. It doesn't remain resentful. Remember this: Love forgets past failures and sins.

A creed to live by

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.It is because we are different —that each of us is special.


Don't set our goals by what other people deem important.only you know what is best for you.

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.cling to them as you would your life;for without them, life is meaningless.


Don't let your life slip thru your fingersby living in the past or for the future;By living your life one day at a time,you will live all the days of your life.


Don't give up when you still have something to give.Nothing is really over —until the moment you stop trying.


Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect,It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don't be afraid to encounter risks,It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.


Don't dismiss your dreams —to be without dreams is to be without hope,to be without hope is to be without purpose.


Don't run life so fast —that you forget not only where you've been,but also where you are going.


Don't shut love out of your lifeby saying it's impossible to find;the quickest way to receive love is to give love —the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly —and the best way to keep love is to give it wings

A lesson in life

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, to teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be — your roommate, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.


And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles, you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity — all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.


The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience — they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. Those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones.
If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.


Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.


Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

Hello peeps...
it has been some time since i update this blog of mine.

Slacking days are over again.
As what Yong Wei say,A happy ending is a brand new begining.
We have work so hard for what we are today.By now,the type of intensity should be our normal one.
We will be pushing ourselves harder to reach that higher level.
It is great that my brothers are training hard.The 2 Shawns in the team,Q.Y
Basically everyone...keep up the good work team.

We are now fighting for our places in the boat.A new group of Friends from the canoeing team has join us.
we all have the same goal,for a better SP.
This will boost our team strength and help coach alot.As he can use his rotational policy,to put in people to build the stronger team.

Trainings have been hard this passed week.We are now currently at the 75-80% of the rowing technique.The last 25% of this stroke is going to be the hardest to master.

we will be striving our guts out for this remaining 25%.

As of tommorrow,i am going to train hard. For the upcoming races and the future of SP.


Besides trainings, Updates in my personal life.
i finally went out with Michelle.
(Hi Michelle!:) I know you will be reading this)
We went out to watch Step Up 2.
Quite a cool movie,i simply love the dance moves.
Coffeebean was cool....

This is story i just received from my friend.
In life,never regret whatever you do.
Enjoy this story.

As I sat there in English class,I stared at the girl next to me.She was my so-called 'best friend'. I stared at her long, silky hair. I wished she were mine, but she didn't notice me like that.And I knew it.

After class she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before, and I handed them to her.She said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her. I wanted her to know that Idon't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why.

11th Grade...
The phone rang. It was her on the other end. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart.She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa,I stared at her soft eyes,wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, a Drew Barrymore movie,and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me,said 'thanks,' and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her,but I'm just too shy.And I don't know why.

12th Grade...
The day before prom she walked to my locker. 'My date is sick,' she said. He's not going to go. Well,I didn't have a date and in 7th grade we made a promise that if neither of us had dates we would go together just as 'best friends,' so we did.Prom night, after everything was over,I was standing at her front doorstep. I stared at her. She smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she doesn't think of me like that,and I know it. Then she said, 'I had the best time,thanks!' and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her.I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her,but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why...

Graduation Day...
A day passed. A week passed. A month passed. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. Iwanted her to be mine, but she didn'tnotice me like that, and I knewit. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and she cried as I hugged her. Then, she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, 'You're my best friend,thanks!' and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why...

A Few Years Later...
Now, I sit in the pews of the church. She is getting married,now. I watched her say, 'I do' and drive off to her new life, married toanother man. I wanted her to be mine but she didn't see me like that,and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said, 'You came!' She said, 'thanks!'and kissed me on the cheek.I want to tell her. I want her to know that Idon't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And Idon't know why...

Funeral...
Years pass, and I looked down at the coffin of the girl who used to be my best friend.' At the service they read a diary entry she had wrotein her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he were mine. But he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to
tell him. I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love him, but I'm just too shy, and Idon't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me...i wish I did too...i thought to myself, and I cried.

Hello my fellow peeps....
i didnt notice that time flies past me just like a blink of an eye.
i meet up with some of my childhood buddies.we were like 10 years old when we first met....
some of them are already going to be 20 soon....
i really enjoyed what we did when we were young....

Right now i feel that this is the most important to me
To be able to live life as it is.
Giving my best in everything.
Life is short, theres no time for regrets.

there are many things i want to do...just don't have the time to do it.
i can admit,maybe that is only part of it.
maybe not having the courage to do so is another stupid excuse i can find for myself

After the movie leap years,i learned that despite all the ups and downs in life.
your loved ones will always stand by you which includes your best friends..stuff like that....
i really treasure my friends,brothers...anyone who is close to me.

this may sound absurd....but still,i might as well say it.
i am afraid to fall in love...
althought the feeling is great,i am afraid that i cannot give the best i could for this special person.....
i might not be there for her when she is sad.....i might not be able to shower adequate love on her....it reallys envy me when i see my buddies with their girls....so loving...seems like a fairytale right?
haha....
but,sometimes even in this harsh reality....fairytales do happens
I just prayed that one day....this special person appear right in front of me...
and by then,the pages of my personal fairytale will be filled with all these good and bad memories of us together....

haha...shit shit shit....i am becoming like a emo guy la.....this is bad.....
anyway....that's for all today....
i shall update again when i am free.

Based on a novella by acclaimed writer Catherine Lim, the story is about Li-Ann, a young Singaporean girl who meets her 'special someone' on 29 February. She decides to base her intuition on an Irish leap year tradition that no man will refuse any request of a lady and invites him out for a date. Together, they embark on a romantic journey that spans over 12 years, meeting only thrice in 12 years, on the leap year.

Leap Year has been the traditional time that women can propose marriage. In many of today's cultures, it is okay for a woman to propose marriage to a man. Society doesn't look down on such women. However, that hasn't always been the case. When the rules of courtship were stricter, women were only allowed to pop the question on one day every four years. That day was February 29th.

St. Bridget's Complaint
It is believed this tradition was started in 5th century Ireland when St. Bridget complained to St. Patrick about women having to wait for so long for a man to propose. According to legend, St. Patrick said the yearning females could propose on this one day in February during the leap year.


February 29th in English Law
According to English law, February 29th was ignored and had no legal status. Folks assumed that traditions would also have no status on that day. It was also reasoned that since the leap year day existed to fix a problem in the calendar, it could also be used to fix an old and unjust custom that only let men propose marriage.
The first documentation of this practice dates back to 1288, when Scotland passed a law that allowed women to propose marriage to the man of their choice in that year. They also made it law that any man who declined a proposal in a leap year must pay a fine. The fine could range from a kiss to payment for a silk dress or a pair of gloves.


Sadie Hawkins Day
In the United States, some people have referred to this date as Sadie Hawkins Day with women being given the right to run after unmarried men to propose.
Sadie Hawkins was a female character in the Al Capp cartoon strip Li'l Abner. Many communities prefer to celebrate Sadie Hawkins Day in November which is when Al Capp first mentioned Sadie Hawkins Day.

Greek Superstition
There is a Greek superstition that claims couples have bad luck if they marry during a leap year. Apparently one in five engaged couples in Greece will avoid planning their wedding during a leap year.
