您好，上次遇见您的时候，已经有好几个月前的事情了，但我那时跟你所说过的话，我没忘记。但是，没想到，我还是没有你哪莫的了解她. 我已经尽量了,但是试种还是没有彻底的了解和体会到她的心. 我绝得好失败...
I'll be there
You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love
I'll be there
I'll reach out my hand to you
I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name
And I'll be there
I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you
I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength I'll keep holding on
Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness is all I'm after
Just call my name And I'll be there
I'll be there to protect you
With an unselfish love I'll respect you
Just call my name And I'll be there
I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you
I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love so strong
I'll be your strength
I'll keep holding on
If you should ever find someone new
I know he'd better be good to you
'Cause if he doesn't I'll be there
I'll be there
I'll be there
Just call my name
I'll be there
I'll be there
I'll be there
Whenever you need me I'll be there

Singaporeans are happy?
On a CNA tickertape, I saw a news snippet that exclaims that most Singaporeans are "happy". On a scale of 1 to 10, Singaporeans rate themselves 6.6 on average (out of 10) in a survey done by some Japanese Pharma. company.
I have a question.
If 1 is not happy and 10 is very happy. That means 5 is neutral. Therefore, a rating of 6.6 should mean that Singaporeans are somewhere between feeling neutral and a little bit happy isn't it? If that is the case, that means the survey conclusion should be: "Singaporeans are a-little-bit happy only " and not "Singaporeans are generally happy", right?
Also hor, no one survey me leh. What are the profiles of the 750 people surveyed? What is the measurement of the happiness factor based on? Never say leh. I wonder if they got interview the old auntie who collect cans or the blind uncle who sells tissue or not.
The article also say people working in the airline, automobile and transportation sectors are the happiest people.
This one interesting. Maybe the survey only interview airline pilots, Porsche salesman and taxi drivers (Taxi drivers is because they finally get to drive new cars instead of the boring Toyota Crown which have been around since Policemen wore shorts.)
Latest: I also found a survey (http://www.happyplanetindex.org/map.htm) that concludes that Singapore is ranked 131 out of 178 in terms of happiness but that was dated 2006. So that means Singaporeans must have become happier in the past 2 years ah.
=======================
From CNA:
A survey shows Singaporeans are generally happy, scoring 6.6 on an index of 1 to 10.
43.5 percent of 750 Singaporeans surveyed said family was the most important contributor to overall happiness, followed by friends and good health.
On jobs, the survey showed that those in the airline, automobile and transportation sectors are the happiest people in Singapore, while those in the arts and entertainment scene scored the lowest on the SOYJOY Index.
The survey, conducted via face-to-face random interviews, also found that Singaporeans are generally cheered up by simple things like eating good food, playing with kids, and listening to music.
The findings of the survey, conducted by a Japanese pharmaceutical company, were released on Wednesday.

A pillar of humanity
While overlooking the city lights on the top of the hill, locked in an embrace of warmth in the cold windy night, the question of "what is love" was brought up.
An interesting philosophical question for a night like this, considering the question is probably as old as mankind itself and yet man had failed for centuries to get a firm grasp on one of the underlying pillars of humanity.
So what is love? A search on Google churned out a list of suggestive explanations; All of which can be summed up by the definition, "a feeling of deep positive emotion for something/someone". However, it does not make the person reading any closer in understanding more about this elusive four letter word. It is akin to saying a Durian is a fruit, while not offering much about what exactly IS a Durian.
While the purpose of the rest of this article is NOT to offer a detail explanation on what exactly love is or what it does, what I hope this article will achieve is to for you, as a reader, to think about what you think love is. Because that is all that matters. Really.
Imagine that you have an apple that is red and crunchy. You like this apple because it is crunchy. Another person likes the apple because it is red. Both of you like the apple, but for completely different reasons. This is similar to what love is.
The difficulty lies in knowing yourself and the type of love that you are looking for and whether you are able to find it. Some are contented with that they have; Others hop from relationship to relationship to find the right love. Some are so swept away at first sight that they felt they got the right love.
Which ever the case, it is you who give yourself a definition to love. And it is only you, who can give yourself the reason not to love.
