WHAT LOVE MEANS TO AGE 4 TO 8 YEAR OLD CHILDREN
Slow down for three minutesto read this..
It is so worth it.
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 8year-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 hertoenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands gotarthritis 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.'

Billy - age 4
***
'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologneand they go out and smell each other.'

Karl - age 5
***
'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French frieswithout making them give you any of theirs.'

Chrissy - age 6
***
'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.'

Terri - age 4
***
'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip beforegiving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.'

Danny - age 7
***
'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing,you still want to be together and you talk more.My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss.

Emily - age 8
***
'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.'

Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
***
'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,'

Nikka - age 6(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
***
'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'

Noelle - age 7
***
'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friendseven after they know each other so well..'

Tommy - age 6
***
'During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked atall the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.'

Cindy - age 8
***
'My mommy loves me more than anybodyYou don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.'

Clare - age 6
***
'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.'

Elaine-age 5
***
'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.'

Chris - age 7
***
'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him aloneall day'

Mary Ann - age 4
***
'I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothesand has to go out and buy new ones.'

Lauren - age 4
***
'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little starscome out of you.' (what an image)

Karen - age 7
***
'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it'sgross.'

Mark - age 6
***'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you meanit, you should say it a lot. People forget.'

Jessica - age 8
***
And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked abouta 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 neighbor, the little boy said,'Nothing, I just helped him cry'
***


When there is nothing left, that is when you find out that love is all you need.

went out with my long time no see buddies today after enrolment service and i totally enjoyed myself..
its just tt having time with them tt makes me very happy =)
watch what happens in vegas and its all good..with a finale to a big meal at botak jones once again to end our evening..

i realise at times that maybe it just has been the right one all along..
maybe there is more than catches the eye..
maybe there is something waiting..

and at last.. i am commissioning...
i get more emo than ever as i could just feel that the those defining moments, or those times when i just sit back and reflect upon what i've been thru for the last 9 months, i could almost feel raymond patting on my shoulder congratulatin me..
i still think of him a lot...and it makes me sad..somehow a part of me haven accepted the fact tt his gone..when joint term seems to be nearing..i would subconsiously think tt raymond is actually gonna move back to alpha wing..
a part of me wish he didnt go..
how i wish he would be standing at the parade sqaure with me.. =)



anyways.. there came this topic about ant nests and the natural disaster at shen zhen..which made me ponder about it for some time..
what my buddies were talking about was tt the disaster wipe out some villages like how water would flush out an entire ant nest..they they describe later on on how they detest ants..
maybe tt is what mother nature is trying to do..
maybe all this endless abusal to earth has tilt mother nature a little too far tt "reset options" like this had to happen..
of course i dunno how mother nature thinks, so this is just how i guess it would be if i were mother nature herself..
but i really wished i could help the people there by going on a UN mission.
and even at weird times i would dream about a world so peaceful tt everytime i on the television, there would be no bad news.. no crisis..no killings.. no war.. no politics..no endangerment of any species.. only deaths of old age..
yes..those very wild dreams.. which again boils down to the fact tt actually all tt is happening to us is what we brought to ourself..and noone else is to blame..


anyways...i dun even know what i've actually been writing..i'm really tired right now so i guess i'll just head for my bed..and come and look at what i have written half awake the next morning...lol

after so long, today, i finally some time to settle down and set some ripples to my blog..

life has been great for me so far..
not tt it didnt had its low moments..
but i rather not think of the unhappy moments and think positive..

i contemplated on signing for 3 years and it had been a serious headache for the past few months.
-good things is tt i get my 16k bounty, regular pay..
-i get to resit for JCC or even airborne..
-have more time to think of what i wanna do in the future
-no ned to be dependant on my family

but then again...after some thought i decided tt its not the life tt i wan..it doesnt gives me any working experience also..
i have until the next book in to reconsider my thoughts on cancelling it..so the thoughts just keep lingering in my mind..


if u r curious about why i didnt get JCC..
pls ask me personally..dun wanna explain it thru here..
but it was the worse kind of feeling i ever had..
having to go thru all the shit when u know u alr lost the badge..
i broke down so many times in the jungles of brunei.. =/


but this aside..
my commissioning parade is coming soon..
and i honestly cant wait!!! hahahaha
