What is love?

"Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there."

-- Otomo No Yakamochi

Really. There are so many opinions on love. Some say it's a sugarcoated journey, some claim that it's a painful path to walk on.

Mine? I think if you love someone, you sacrifice. Willingly, with no regrets. Just like our Papa and Mama, and husband and wife, lovely couples and even love for friends or hobbies. You enjoy the journey, no matter how scarred your heart will be, no matter how much agony you have to put through and endure. Because you know it's all worth it. Isn't it?

To look at the sunny side, the joy and happiness that one can harvest from love or a loving relationship is far more valuable and priceless. Forget bout all the scars and bruises that you get from loving others, after all they make you tougher and braver to face each day.

Some people say : Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.

But I say : Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. - Lord Tennyson.

Just as much as I love shopping, I love to be loved and to love others as well. Open up your heart and let love flow into you.

Hatred can never be appeased by hatred. By love only is hatred appeased.

And never be ashame to show some love to the world. Recycle to keep mother earth healthy, throw your arms and wrap them around your PaMa, say thank you to the hawker stall uncle who serves you meal, hold the door for the Popo in front of you, give up the seat in the bus to the Gong Gong, show your teeth "Eeeeee" to make someone's day.

Love is the colour of the World.

So, put down the guns and let's talk : LOVE.
