Perfect Love

Was preparing for Bible study and came across a poem I could appreciate. It was based on 1 John 4:18, expressing poignantly the possibilities we face when we choose to love.

The risk of love
is that of being unreturned.
For if I love too deep,
too hard, too long
and you love little
or you love me not at all
then is my treasure given,
gone,
flown away lonely.

But if you give me back
passion for passion,
return my burning,
add your own
dark fire to flame my heart
then is love perfect
hot, round, augmented,
whole, endless, infinite,
and it is fear

that flies.

-Luci Shaw

1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

The perfect love that drives out fear. Can imperfect humans have perfect love? Are we capable of perfect love? Oh yes we can!

1 John 4:17
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgement; because as He is, so are we in this world.

We can love because...

1 John 4:16
..we have known and believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

The last working day

Wahaha. My working days are over. The last day of work was odd. Happy and reluctant. We were so excited(or at least just me) that we could all stopped work at the same time. The UPMers and UUMers. ^_^

At 5pm, we handed up our laptops and passcard to the adminstrator. Sobz.. Will miss IBM31 after six months.

Lappy

At 5.30pm, I nearly wanted to jump for joy. Did I? Nope. Had a reputation to maintain. Heh.

Weird how we always wanted to rush back at 5.30pm. Well we didn't. We were hanging around in the office till 7pm. Imagine hanging around in the office for the fun of it. What were we doing hanging around? At first we did nothing.

Introducing....

Jimmy. Smiling and doing nothing else.

Kevin. Looking bored.




Hiean Fong. Sms-ing you-know-who



Josephine. Relax and ready for camwhoring.


And me....


Packing and ready to go!

Ting Ting was at client's place and missed out all the camwhoring. But manage to take a picture with her last Saturday. ^_^

Me and lovely Ting Ting

Then we took pictures. Lots and lots of pictures. Lots and Lots of pictures with me in it. ^_^! Oh man. I was camwhoring a little too aggressively.

Group picture

Looking back, I can't really remember the bad times. Everytime I think back, it's all fond memories. That's the way I want to remember it I guess.

It was all good. ^_^

Note: Didn't have time to post all pictures, especially during the dinner. Will do it soon!

My cupboard

I can't find my clothes. My cupboard's in such a big mess I can hardly find anything. When you can't find clothes in your own cupboard, it can only mean one thing. It's time to clean up.

not that bad right? ^_^!

In three more days, I'll be a free woman and have all the time in the world to clean up.

What a lovely day.

Food for Thought

Food for thought 1:

Absence makes the heart grows fonder.

vs

Out of sight, out of mind.

Kenny Roger (country western singer and owner of Kenny Rogers) was asked in an interview, 'Does absence makes the heart grows fonder?' He said 'No'and attributed his two divorces to being separated from his wives while on tour.

Absence makes the heart grows fonder. Can it make the heart grow weary?

Maybe absence simply confirms what's really in the heart. If it's close to the heart, absence only makes the heart grows fonder. If it's not, absence makes the heart forget/grow weary.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Food for thought 2:

"I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love."

- Mother Teresa

Too much food will cause suffocation. Let's not feed too much on these things.

I am getting old but looking young

Someone noticed I had one strand of white hair today. :( so sad. Am I getting old? Of course I am. Everyday I am one day older than the day before. Good thing I look young. Heh.

Was looking for that one strand while driving today. I mean during stops at traffic light lar. Found it and kept it to remind myself to savour every moment of youthfulness while I still can.

Carpe Diem!

Translation: Seize the day!

I can. I will. I must.

The countdown continues. Six-more-days.

Juliana

Was on job in the most fantastic place. A cookie factory. Bought a box of cookies back. ^_^!

Whilst working, noticed plenty of delicious cookie not for sale locally. So sad. Took some pictures for memories. Anyone going overseas please remember me and look out for these cookies ya. ^_^.

The chocolate cookie Juliana. It has Juliana's name. Hehe.

Wonder if there's a brand named Shuen out there.

Eight more days...

A confession

I've got a confession. I'm in love with another man.

Robert Downey Jr. Or rather his character, Tony Stark in the movie Ironman.

Everything in the movie is so cool. Always thought Ironman was a lousy cartoon. This movie (or maybe Robert Downey Jr) changed my perception entirely. Exceeded my expectation a 100%.

And so I had to watch it twice. ^_^! I think everybody should watch it. Sigh. Ain't ironman the coolest manliest man alive?

I shall say it again. I'm in love.
