八分愛

有沒有發覺
愛的感覺,總是在一開始甜蜜
總覺得多了一個人陪
多了一個人幫你分擔
你終於不再孤單了
因為至少有一個人想著你,戀著你
不論做什麼事情,只要能在一起,只要能在一起,就是好的。

但是慢慢地,隨著認識的加深
你開始發現對方的缺點,問題一個接一個出現
你開始煩、累,甚至想逃避。

有人說愛情就像撿石頭,總想撿到一個適合自己的
但是你又如何知道何時能撿到呢?
他適合你,那你又適合他嗎?

其實,愛情應該像磨石子
或許,剛撿到時你不是那麼滿意
但是,請記住人是有彈性的
很多事情事可以改變的,只要你有心,有勇氣
與其到處去撿未知的石頭,還不如將自己已經擁有的石頭磨光磨亮。

很多人以為,是因為感情淡了,人才會變得懶惰
其實,人是先被懶惰征服,感情才開始慢慢變淡的

有一次朋友聚餐,有人提議多吃蝦有益健康
這時有位中年長輩說 : 十年前 當老婆還是女友時 她說要吃蝦 我馬上剝二十隻給她!!
現在如果要我幫他剝蝦,簡直是開玩笑!!
我連幫他夾菜都沒興趣了,還剝蝦!!

難怪越來越多人想談一輩子的戀愛,卻遲遲不肯走入婚姻

生活中也有許多不同的情節在不同的角落發生
有對情侶,相約下班後去用餐 逛街
可是女孩子因為工作延遲了一點時間
當她冒雨趕到時,已經遲到了半小時

她男友很不高興的說:
妳每次都這樣,現在我什麼心情都沒了,以後我再也不想等妳了!

剎那間,女孩的心決堤崩潰了
她在想:或許,他們沒未來了。

同樣,不同的地方,也有類似的情節

女孩遲到了,男孩卻說:我想你一定是忙壞了吧?

他為女孩拭去臉上的雨水,脫去外套批在女孩身上
此刻,女孩哭了,可是流過她臉頰的淚卻是幸福的。

其實愛恨,只不過再我們一念之間。

許多人常說:”我要找一個很愛我的人,才會談戀愛”
但當對方問你,怎樣才算是很愛很愛
你卻無法回答他,因為你也不知道。

沒錯,我們總以為,自己會找到一個很愛很愛的人
可是後來,當我們猛然回首

才發覺,自己曾經是多麼天真。

假如從來沒有開始,你怎麼知道自己很愛很愛那個人呢?
其實,很愛很愛的感覺,是經歷過許多事情之後才會發現的
每個人都想要有個心目中百分百的伴侶
但你有沒有想過,在你身邊早有人默默為你付出很久了

只是你沒發覺而已。

仔細看看身邊的人,或許他已經等你很久了。
當你愛一個人,愛到八分剛剛好。
所有的期待和希望也只有七八分,剩下兩三分愛自己。
如果你還繼續愛得更多,可能給對方造成沉重的壓力
讓彼此喘不過氣來,完全喪失愛情的樂趣。

所以

喝酒不要超過六分醉
吃飯不要超過七分飽

愛一個人 也不要超過八分。。。

Pardon the translation, did it in a rush… Its actually more meaningful in Chinese. :P

Have you ever notice

The feeling of love is always sweet at the beginning.
You feel that you have one more companion.

One more person to share your sorrows

Finally you are no longer lonely.
Because at least one person thinking of you, loving you
No matter what happens, as long as you can together, as long as you can be together, all is well.

But slowly, with the deepening of understanding,
You begin to discover each other’s shortcomings, problems arises one after another
You begin to feel frustrated, tired, even wanting to avoid.

Some says that love is like picking a stone, always wanting to find a suitable piece for himself
But how would you know when you are able to pick up the one?
He’s right for you, but are you also suitable for him?

In fact, love should be like polishing a stone
Maybe, when you have just picked it up, you are not so satisfied with it
However, keep in mind that human is flexible
A lot of things can be changed, as long as you want, have the courage to
Instead of trying to picking up unknown stones everywhere, why not try to polish the one you already have to make it shine?

Many people think that because of the feelings turn bland, we will become aloof
In fact, people are first conquered by aloofness, thus the feelings began to slowly turn bland

Once I had a dinner with a group of friends, someone mentioned eating prawns are nutritious
One middle-age elder said: Ten years ago, when his wife is still his girlfriend, whenever she says she’ll like to have a prawn, I’ll peel 20 for her right away!
Now if she asks me to peel a prawn, it is a joke!!
I’m not even interested to offer her dishes on the table not to say peeling of prawns!

It is no wonder that more and more people want to talk about a lifetime of love, but has been reluctant to enter into a marriage

In a lifetime, there are many different phases that we go thru
There are this couple, who agrees to meet after work for dinner, shopping
But the girl was delayed by work
When she arrived in the rain, she is already late for half an hour

Her  boyfriend was very unhappy, saying:
You are always late, now I do not have any mood, and I will not want to wait for you in future!

In that split moment, the girl’s heart was broken.
She was thinking: Perhaps, they do not have any future together.

Similarly, at a different place, something similar happened.

A girl is late for her date, the boy said: I think you must have been really busy?

He wiped off the raindrops on the girl’s face, took off his jacket and put it on over the girl’s shoulders.

At this moment, the girl cried, but her tears on her cheeks reflects her happiness.

The fact is, love and hatred, there is only a thin line separating them.

Many often say: “I want to find someone who loves me, before going into a relationship”
However, when the other party to ask you, how much love is needed?
You are unable to answer him, because you yourself do not know.

Yes, we always think that we will find someone who loves us a lot
but later, when we suddenly look back

Only to realise that we have been so naïve.

If it has never started, how do you know if you really love that person?
In fact, the feeling of love is experienced only after having gone thru a lot of things together.
Everyone wants to have a perfect partner
But has it ever occurred to you, that someone may already be by your side have been giving for the longest time

It’s only because you have not noticed it.

Take a closer look at those around us, perhaps he have been waiting for you for a long time.

When you love a person, just love him 8/10.
All the expectations and hopes you have on him are only 7-8, leave the remaining love 2-3 loving yourself.
If you continue to love even more, it is likely to result in more pressure on the other half
If you do not allow any breathing space for each other, love completely loses the fun and happiness.

Thus, people says

Never drink more than 6/7

Never eat more than 7/10

Do not love one person more than 8/10. . .

Heard this on radio today.. Can’t help but feel sad…

Remember the goodness in people…

How’s the preparation going along?

This is the most common start of a topic whenever I meet anyone (who knows when is my wedding date)

Now that it is less than 3 months down the road, I’m beginning to feel really stressful…

Preparation seems to have stalled. Not too sure whether reason is because there is nothing much to prepare or requirements are not stated clear thus nothing to prepare at the moment. I certainly do not hope at the end of the day there is any comment from anyone as of what should be done has not been done.

Ideal Fridge.. :P

Hitachi S-X6000S

(We got the titanium/champagne color)

I love the multi compartment part of the fridge. Believe it will keep whatever inside in a more hygenic way. Haha.. Also, opening it by compartment also helps to save electricity!

Can foresee the weekends ahead spending more time in the kitchen…. :P

You Can… – Team Hoyt

One day, a son asks his dad “Daddy, would you like to run a marathon with me?”. The father says “yes”.
And they run their first marathon together.

Another time, the son asks his dad again “Daddy, would you like to run a marathon with me?”. The father says “yes son”.

One day, the son asks his father ” Daddy, would you run the Ironman with me?”
The Ironman is the most difficult triathlon ever (4 kms swimming, 180 kms bikin, 42 km running?)

And the dad says “yes”.

The story looks simple until you watch the following clip…

**Having ran 2 10km run and another 2 5km run, I do understand that the toughness in it especially when you’re not a regular runner. The distance I covered was sooo short and I already felt like giving up half way thru… Eyes went wet while seeing the video..

P.S: They say its a blessing to be able to give than receive. Which would you choose?

If you’re interested to know more about them, you can see the bottom video as well.
