The best thing you could ever learn in life, is to love and to be loved in return

My gift is my song
And this one's for you
And you can tell everybody
That this is your song
It maybe quite simple
But now that it's done
Hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

Sat on the roof
And I kicked off the moss
Well some of the verses well
They got me quite cross
But the sun's been kind
While I wrote this song
It's for people like you that
Keep it turned on
So excuse me for forgetting
But these things I do
You see I've forgotten
If they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is well I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple
But now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

Long distance relationships--let fate take its course

One option is to keep everything the way it is -- whether you are 5 miles or 5,000 miles away from each other. This way of thinking is very popular among young lovebirds, new to the journey of romance

They tend to believe that physical space between them will not affect the solidity of the relationship because their "undying" love for each other can surpass this seemingly small obstacle. This often applies to couples that get separated for education reasons.

What happens in many cases, however, is that one of the partners may start feeling lonely and begin looking around to see what the "relationship market" has to offer.

Long distance relationships can be best separated into three categories: remaining faithful, dating loosely to see what happens or breaking off the relationship altogether.

Whichever category is chosen depends largely on which stage of the relationship you and your girlfriend are at.

Forget about the fate and the stages. Let the laughters do all its work. hehe

One last thing for today

Please feed my spider when you scroll down to the bottom of the page. The more mosquitos it takes, the less Dengue cases we will have!!

A metaphor from Buddhism

Helping other people is like planting a seed. The reason you do that is because the seed will germinate and bloom when you need other people's help.


hehe maybe I shall plant more seeds. erm. which flower shall I pick?

Da Vinci Code

Watched the famous yet disputable movie--Da Vinci Code last night. It was a fascinating story, but story is just story. Nobody in the world can give any evidence on the truth of the myth, unless we can invent some time machine and go back to 2000 years ago and witness the truth by ourselves.

Although I am on neither side of the dispute, following the clear logic in the movie, can I really say that there is not even a tiny little possibility for the story to be true? I hesitate to say no. Perhaps so do a lot of us.

By comparing to Christian and a lot of other religions, I realise that Buddhism never talks about the origin of humanity. It does not advocate that there is one almighty God, but focuses on the religious practice and experience. A lot of people understand Buddha as the God or one of the most powerful Gods, considering the number of Gods we have in our millions of temples. However Buddha can also be used in a general sense, which refers to a person that discovers the natural truth of reality through years of spiritual cultivations, investigation of various religious practices of his time, and meditation. Moreover not only the so called gifted ones, but everyone of us could reach the level of Buddha, if we strive to find our own paths.

very first post!!

I haven't done any blogging for ages, and almost abandomed the other blog sites. I was thinking of renovating the old sites, so that I could start blogging again. Magically, my mouse clicked on "create a new blog", instead of "going to the dashboard". Anyway, on behalf of myself, I, the non-permanent resident of Singapore, have decided to get rid of all the old blogs and start all over again.

Seriously, not sure how long the blog will last, but we Chinese always say "if old things are not gone, the new stuff won't come".

btw I like the name of my new blog. How about you?
