I was just going through "emily" and discovered how packed my schedule is.
Besides weekdays, which is mostly empty because 5 days a week are given to my worklife.

I am basically pretty occupied for the rest of the year.
Of course, there are still some non-activity friday nights available...

Its odd because I used to dread weekends. Due to certain reasons.
Now, the only thing I look forward to are my weekends!
Its the only time when I get to eat a proper meal with my family, see my friends, have some self-pampering sessions and also shopping.

That reminds me. Birthdays and christmas presents!

I am going to spend my first ever christmas in kl this time. I was given some options such as clubbing, uhm... and clubbing =/
People in kl don't dine?

@%@$$!!!

*screams*

How can so many things happen at the same time???

First, my air-con break down. Then the ceiling light went off. Suddenly, the cooking gas is finish. And now, my washing machine is down!!!! Not only those, all of a sudden I have to pay for a bill that I don't even know what I am paying for!

Basically, I think the air-con ran out of gas, therefore, there is only wind, but not cold air. I don't know how much will that costs. Then the ceiling light. It cannot be settled by just changing the starter or the bulb. It is caused by the poor work of the technicians when they did the wiring a few years back. I wonder how much will it costs. Cooking gas, oh well, that probably costs about rm40. Just that I keep forgetting to call and end up cooking with the extra slow hot plate. My washing machine just went down. I don't know why, water just wouldn't go in. And I have so much clothes to wash! Then then... the stupid water bill came. Apparently the bill during the renovation (2 years back!) is not settled yet. Now, they sent a letter. And I don't know why am I paying it! My dad offered, but what's the difference!!! I can't let my dad pay for something that he has nothing to do with it at all.

Arghhh!!! And its only the beginning of the month! I still have my rental, credit card bills and stupid expensive maxis broadband!

What is love to you and how do you measure it?

Being single and not being in love with anyone at the moment do help in giving a fair view.

I was at one of the churches where the stage performance "Crazy Lil' Thing Called Love" was played by some of the local acts, Footstool Players. For those who missed the "free" performances in churches, you can always watch them at KLPAC for RM30, which is worth the money (to my opinion) and do support local acts!

Almost everyone that goes church would have heard of it. Since it is a topic that interests young and old, I am not surprise that everyone is talking about it. I personally thought the title was pretty catchy as it reminds me of one my favourite song with the same name. True enough, that was one of the songs played.

Yes, love is a crazy thing. You'll do things out of your mind, behave the way you never thought you will and sometimes, ur mind get messed up.

The play potrays women and men in a witty and yet, very real in a way. I will not disclose the stories here as nothing compared to watching it yourself. However, there is one particular story that I wish to share. Coming back to my question, what is love and how do you measure it? Do you fall in love in hoping to be loved in return? Do you do things and expect the other to do the same? Do you keep track on how much you did and see if the other did as much as you did, to balance it off?

Many times, we do not realize it, but we do actually keep track of all we did. We expect to get our love in return or even the little things we might do for the other. So what is love then? Is it just a trade where both sides wants to win?

Love is not measured by the amount of time you spent for that person, or by the things you do, or even by the gifts you buy. It is far beyond that. Love is more than saying "I love you". How I wish love can be measured, in quantitative form. Life would be so much easier then, wouldn't it? But what is love if we humans can measure it? What's love without some mysteries?

So, what's love to you?
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
