there's this article in the latest broader perspective issue which talks about taking responsibility i think there's a lot of truth in that article. But one thing which really stood out to me was this line," If a husband claims that he loves his wife, but his wife doesn't feel loved, the husband does not love the wife."
I've been thinking about this for a few days now and I've decided to accept the fact that this statement may not necessarily be right. Initially when i read this, i really agreed with it because i believe that love should be tangible, real and evident. As in, i believe that the extend of one's love for somebody can be seen/ measured by the amount of time they spend/ the things they give each other/ the thoughts they share because if you really think about it, it seems very natural that if you love someone, you'll want to spend time with them, you'll want to give them priority over yourself, you'll give them the best gifts you can possibly give.
But today i realised that this may not be true. Each person has their own love language. and your love language may not be the same as the person you love. if to that person sharing things or incidents, basically telling you every important event in that person's life, is something that is considered very intimate, but on your part you feel that it's the most basic and normal thing and it's insufficient to make you feel important, isn't it a little unfair to that person to say that he/ she does not think that you are important? so in this case, to better gauge how important you are, maybe it's better to find out whether the things this person does for you makes him/ her more vulnerable to you compared to other people.
But then again, if someone tells you that he/ she does not feel important/ loved, maybe it's really time to find out where has things gone wrong, or maybe put in the extra effort to make things work? cox i think that if someone even bothers to raise the issue means that not all is gone and there's still room for improvement. well, end of the day, i think what's most important is to be real to yourself and others.
anw, to you, sorry. you are very important to me. really. but i like the way things are now. hope that things work out for you and js (:

Since it's graduation day, i shall write sth for 08S07.
Actually yesterday when we went K i wanted to sing you girls this song but i was too shy. so just listen to the original okay? i think it pretty much expresses what i want to say
谢谢有你们xie xie you ni men - 何耀珊謝謝有你們 陪我走這一程 在天最黑暗的時候 點亮一盞燈
因為有你們關心 所以我才可能 讓自己的心勇敢幾分
謝謝有你們 陪我過這一陣 在我最需要的時候 給了我最真
時間可以慢慢等 把思緒用愛加溫 讓冷卻的快樂重新沸騰
是你 把幸福悄悄放進我的手心 像風 吹拂著白雲 總是不著痕跡
我閉上我的雙眼 就能夠感覺的到你那麼清晰 是你
把喜樂輕輕寫進我的表情 聽風的一絲笑意叮叮噹噹聲音
我合手祈禱天明 願陽光可以照進每個人的心
This translation is specially done for the convenience of Queennie(:
Thank you for walking this journey with me and light up my days when it seems so dark. Because of the care and concern from you girls I am able to have more courage. Thank you for accompanying me, for showing the most truthful and honest side of you. Time can wait, let our thoughts be warmed by love, let the coldness of our happiness be rejuvenated. It's you, who silently placed blessings into my hands, like the wind blowing the clouds always without a trace. I close my eyes and i can feel you so clearly. It's you, who gently wrote happiness into my expression.
i know my translation kind sucks. but it's e thought that counts right? this kind of thing only comes once in a lifetime so treasure it okay!

What's important? What's urgent? What's important and urgent? What's more important and urgent?
why do i still feel so tired? humans... how can God stand us when we're so imperfect? the things we do to each other can already be so hurting/ rejecting/ disappointing, let alone the accumulation of every single one of our wrongdoings to God. How does He do it? Is it because He knows everything?
I feel like i'm doing it all over again. now im back to where i started.

i was watching some christian youtube videos and i find some things which were mentioned kinda funny. there was this guy who is a christian and he's very anti-atheist. however i find his arguments kind of flawed. as in for everything ranging from whether God exists, evolution, turning water into wine, and many other questions and Bible examples he brought up, he merely refuted them by saying that it's all not true cox the Bible says so. haha. it's not that i disagree with him that God exists and blah blah blah. but i just found it kinda silly that he used the Bible as the main argument point since atheists regards the Bible as any ordinary book found in book stores. so i was just thinking from an atheist point of view and found it kind of silly. cox can you imagine if you just pick any book from the shelves and it tells you that your dog has supernatural powers and you believe it with all your heart without having any concrete evidence? silly isn't it? haha.
Anyway, i was supposed to find some stuff about science and religion. so i decided to comment a little about it here. i believe in evolution. and i also believe that God created man in his image, not as monkeys. well, darwin says that everything existing goes through a process called natural selection right? he's right. even as humans we observe very strong competition, leading to survival of the fittest. however, i really dont think that we came all the way from monkeys. as in there are even lizards or insects which share 90+% genetic similarity compared to human genes. so our relatives are insects? HAHA! well, i believe that the reason for these genetic similarities is that our God is a consistent God. there're certain genes which codes for certain proteins which makes up our body (phenotype). eg, membranes are universal, specific enzymes are universal. and these proteins are necessary in ALL living organisms. if not how can lucky digest his food? so that means that both my dog and i share similar genes. but that doesn't mean we evolved from one organism. it only means that we originate from the consistent mind of the same one God who created the world.
end of the day, God created everything right? so, every idea, invention, theory, conjured by human mind, God allowed it. so anw, that's my stand and i feel that it makes much more sense than just saying," we did not originate from monkeys because the Bible says so." (:
