Happy birthday, Mee

No matter how much time passes,
No matter how tough the going gets,
No matter how far we've flown away from the nest,
We will always celebrate the day it all began.
For her, for him and for us.

Sweethearts

Someone told me recently that we look like childhood sweethearts. Curious and slightly amused, I asked the person to explain how she came to that conclusion.

Her answer : "Coz you both look so happy together, so comfortable with each other, so confident of each other."

Huh?

Does that define what childhood sweethearts are?
Maybe to some, but definitely not to me. Nor to him.

So I pondered on it abit and figured what the person was trying to tell me was that we seemed like soul-mates, considering that we seem to read each other's body language and facial expressions really well. And the confident vibes that others get around us, I guess that just gave her the impression that we've been together for a really long time. Like forever. LOL.

(Can't believe it's gonna be 7 years in another 2 months. Geez, where did the time fly to? And will we be hit by the 7-year itch? Heh. Only time can tell, eh)

Honestly, I do not know if forever exists but what I do know is that I treasure my 'now' and will do all in my power to maximise my 'now' rather than mull over forever.

Do you believe in forever?

P/S - The more I think about it, the more I think I am turning into a cynic. Good or bad, I still haven't decided. :P

Doing for the sake of doing

It's amusing, really.

For some folks to pen articles telling the world of how they've saved lives, changed the world, etc. All from doing something that they have to do, or found themselves forced into circumstances that dictate them to do what they do.

Well, I guess one can argue that they took lemons out of Life and made lemonade. But to me, being proud of something is when it's accomplished through passion. Through dedication. Through perserverence. Through believing in oneself.

So, no I can't say that I agree to certain articles singing praises for individuals who do what they do because they are thrown into the circumstances. I cannot react to the article with a "Wow!". The best I could give is a hmpf and a if-i-have-nothing-nice-to-say-i-better-shut-it smirk.

So, hmpf.
