what is love?
according to kenny who watched "dog fell in love with cat" (!!), love is...
when cat like flowers, dog will pick flowers from garden for cat
... so simple.

when cat like to eat chicken drumstick, dog will feel sad if cat don't get to eat chicken drumstick
dog will feel sad when cat is bored and lonely

10 years later....
we were in restoran hong lim, SS15 when i asked :
"what do you think you'll be doing in 10 years' time? what would you have achieved by then?"
hy answered :
1) don't HAVE to work, but will have no money problems
2) might be doing some form of volunteer work
3) married, hopefully to a guy as devoted to his girl as wall-e is
yj :
1) would have started working
2) would have reached senior management level
ey :
1) working for fun
2) married with kids (two)
3) wake up at whatever time i want, can take my own time to talk a walk before going to do whatever i want to do
4) have time for my kids when i get back from work
mc :
1) have a very nice single storey bungalow/ semi-d with a lot of land, a corner lot single storey terrace also can
2) a dog, or two (need not be a beagle)
3) not much work, but a lot of money
4) work comprise of approving/ not approving something
5) would have backpacked for 6 months
6) would gone bald
tf
1) still playing psp
2) still playing wii
3) see the world
4) debt free
me
1) ceo of own successful company
2) able to dictate my own time
3) have a villa in bangkok
4) hopefully my very exclusive club for very-active-old-people-with-a-life will be up and running
funny how this question is answered in a more cautious manner than it if it was asked 10 years ago... and how the answers are preceeded by "i should be" or "i think" or "hopefully" instead of "i want to be" or "i am going to be"
funny how being older seem to mean we have shorter time... when we actually didn't know how much time we would have had when we were young (i mean a lot of ppl die young... especially the talented ones)...
or were the answers affected by the fact that the previous goals stated were not achieved? not realising that it is neither due to lack of opportunities nor lack of ability, but lack of courage and lack of will power/ discipline...?

Zahir
paul coelho writes with insights so striking......
quoted from his book - Zahir
..."I heard people speaking in the name of freedom, and the more they defended this unique right, the more enslaved they seemed to be... slaves to luxury, to the appearance of luxury, to the appearance of the appearance of luxury. Slaves to a life they had not chosen, but which they had decided to live because someone had managed to convince them that it was all for the best. And so their identical days and nights passed, days and nights in which adventure was just a word in a book or an image on the television that was always on, and whenever a door opened, they would say:
"I'm not interested. I'm not in a mood"
How could they possibly know if they were in the mood or not if they had never tried? But there was no point in asking.; the truth was they were afraid of any change that would upset the world they had grown used to. "....
