the ninth

new generation love. what has love come to these days? when the rare sights of true love surfaced itself, it brings tears to the eyes. i guess like all other things or issues, it mutates over time. with every second ticking, everything is changing. love is strong. love is comforting. love brings out the weakness in us. love proves the reliance that everyone needs in his/her life. a rare sight of love between a father and daughter almost moved me to tears. sacrificial love. giving up everything for the one you cared and loved so much for. repaying the gratitude. i find that it's these simple things that we all do, do make the one you cared so much for understand the love you have for him/her.

it was only a simple 80th birthday celebration for mum's friend. his daughter took the initiative to invite his friends at some restaurant. took time off from her rather busy schedule to do up presentation slides. as she present the slides to the about 150 guest and shared with us about the life of her beloved father, her voice shivered, with the occasional stutter, and definately the tears. sacrificial love between the 2 of them. some guest teared as well. even more teared when the daughter sang a song to her father in the eyes of the entire congregation. that's love.

i asked myself, what is today's love like? many loves i've seen. it's the first that such love actually moved me.

anyway, a fellow team mate suggested that i should sign up for the Standard Chartered marathon run. the distance? a big and long 42km. i said, crazy. i don't even have the stamina for 2.4km. let alone 42km. he said:" it isn't about winning. it's about completing. it's about the experience. and i'm sure you can complete it if you set your mind on it."

his words motivated me. i don't mind joining if there's a running buddy following me to. the thing is, registration fee is $75. money is the problem...

i thought i have things to blog about. but i kinda forgot some of the rest. nvm. that's it for today.

baby, i still believe...
