The Meaning Of Love To Kids

Touching words from the mouths of babes.
What does ‘Love’ mean?
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, ‘What does ‘love’ mean?’
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

——————————————————————————–

‘When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore.

So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.’
Rebecca- age 8

‘When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.’

And the final one — Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.

The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbour was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbour, the little boy said, ‘Nothing, I just helped him cry’

LOVE IS ENDURING A CERTAIN SAME PAIN BUT RELENTLESSLY BEQUEATHING FORGIVENESS

Back To Nature

Hiking, panting, running, shouting cam-whoring in the middle of the Penang National Park all the way to Pantai Kerachut was indeed a trip to remember =). Especially if you hike with the people that are closest to you.

During the painstaking hours we took to the supposedly 2 hour hike to kerachut. Two instead of the usual lonely photo enthusiast Jess were busy taking pictures of all sorts;

Vince and jess had a ball of a time taking pictures of everything they saw which included the elusive magic circle wand thingie that was never meant to be xD 

To the chubi chubi circle leaves

And the elusive magic maple =0

After the much delayed arrival, and the many photo taking sessions that we had =)
I present to you. The majestic kerachut

And after that? We took a dip in the water where the war of the badak sumbu’s
and the shortyshorts took place o.o

Crouching dragon and hidden tiger joins to become the almighty london bridge??

Sadly after all that hiking! The calories burned were……

And we even met the orang plastik hitam of pantai kerachut =O

Which was manhandled by the.. amazing.. one of a kind!! Rachel Keng!!

But all good things sadly have to come to an end just for the moment though =)
And with that we left Pantai Kerachut; leaving behind our marks on the sand

I’ll continue later =x Till then. Cya!!

A Chance To Start

A Chance To Start

How often we wish for another chance,
To make a fresh beginning,
To blot our mistakes,
And change failure into winnings.

 It does not take a special time,
To make a brand-new start,
It only takes deep desire,
To try with all our heart.

To live a little better,
To always be forgiving,
To add a little sunshing,
To the world that we are living.

Never give up in despair,
Never are you through,
For theres always a tomorrow,
A chance; to start anew.
