Relationship: Feeling or Logic, Love or Commitment?

How to know that I have found the one?First thing first,Do not let your feeling role!Let the brain take over my feeling.I will decide after I have a deep consideration and thinking carefully. Not based on my feeling alone.I will know that he's the one if...I love him and I want to change NOTHING from him.Only if he has been himself in front of me. :)Nothing manipulated during the courtship.To accept him whatever he is.For example:When I know he is snoring and I still want to be with him, even though I will have difficulty to sleep.I will still love him and accept him with his snoring.Woman has tendency to change the one she loves.But man hopes the woman she loves never changes.Remember that man hardly changes. I will be disappointed if I wish he can change for me, for my sake.But that doesn't mean that he will never change.Always give space for each other to grow. :)He may not be the most perfect guy, but I can learn to love him perfectly.Few questions to ponder:what do you want him to change?Can I endure with his unchanged-habit for a lifetime?Is being together with him makes my life better? or just leads me to countless suffering?Let's say he's jobless and a lazy bump.Can you survive with love only? (read: Are you going to eat love?)It's not suggestible to decide based on love alone.Because love does change, and love between two human does not last.Relationship is all about commitment.When love does wither, commitment stays.

Christian Music Performances - 26 Sep 08

After a month's break, Songwriters Showcase is back! This time we are featuring Jean Tan & Laverne Ong this September.

26 Sept 08, Fri

7.30pm - 9.30pm

Acts CentreChina Square Central

B1-0518 Cross StreetSingapore 048423

Jean Tan. Combining influences from folk, alternative and acoustic music and deriving inspiration from the Psalms, Jean's songs of adoration and struggle are honest, bare expressions of her daily walk with God and through life. By the Spirit she hopes to minister to those who listen and impact those who are searching - music is from heaven after all - while broadening definitions of mainstream Christian music in her experiences with acapella, choral music, world languages and various acoustic gigs.

Laverne Ong. Having a mother who was a piano teacher and a father who has a wonderful singing voice, Laverne grew up in a musical family. She started piano at the tender age of 4 but only started composing when she was 16. Since then, she has been joining many composing competitions and some singing competitions. Early this year, she released her album-- Colours of My Life under an independent label--Soundbites, and has since then been performing regularly. She is also in a jazz band-- Radical Context, as the singer. Radical Context has performed in places like Esplanade, Timbre, national libraries and for wedding gigs.So far, she has 2 first prizes, 2 second prizes, 2 third prizes under her belt. Also, she had been a composer with Touch Publishing when she was 19 and sold 4 songs locally and internationally. Although she has a degree in life sciences, her love and passion for music led to her being the music director of a learning music centre, Music Mocha, early this year too.

Younger hubby? It's OK with me

Ana Ow
Thu, Sep 11, 2008my paper
I'M A big believer in the philosophy of age being just a number.
And, now, I'm learning exactly how true that is.
At age 32, I find myself blessed with the love of a 20-year-old man. He made his heartfelt vows to me in June before 70 people at our small wedding celebration.
There's more: come November, we are going to be first-time parents after having dated for just a year.
We first met in dance class when I was a teacher at a local dance studio. Then 16 going on 17, he obviously wasn't suitable dating material for me.
But when he turned 19 and we began to socialise both on and off the dance floor, it became apparent that we were connecting on a deeper level.
He listened, providing comfort and warmth in a way I hadn't felt before. He doesn't play the mind games of an older man. Nor does he have the ego of one. Even though I felt a little like Mrs Robinson, he almost made me feel as though I was in my teens again.
And we were sure of marriage shortly after our relationship began.
We made plans to marry in a typically modern fashion: when I ran out of closet space after living with him for eight months.
We were all set to start saving up for a wedding bash and a nest to call our own. And then came the baby, throwing a sweet spanner in the works and speeding up the process.
Now, my husband is confined in camp and will have just ended his basic military training (BMT) by the time I deliver in November.
While it has never occurred to me that it would be an issue to commit to someone 12 years younger while carrying my first-born, there were those who were angered by my choices.
My father maintained a stoic yet somewhat shocked demeanour. He has calmed down somewhat since we got married and has even become quite supportive. My aunt, his younger sister, however, demanded that I re-think my actions.
Then there are other auntie- types who gossip and dwell on the situation, unable to accept that people more than a decade apart could find love and acceptance with one another.
Our reality does not escape me. He's doing BMT in Tekong now and I'm alone, whereas my other mummy-to-be friends have their husbands (who are all closer to their age) ferrying them around to their ultrasound check-ups.
There's also a certain pressure on me as I become the sole breadwinner in the equation. And as he progresses into National Service, I find myself missing him.
He gets five minutes every night on the phone with me now that he's at field camp. I know that he feels frustrated and helpless, trying to squeeze in every ounce of love and support into one short conversation.
And though there are those who say that he's too young to be taken seriously as a husband or a father-to-be, he takes so naturally to his new role.
While his friends can hardly see their future beyond Fridaynight clubbing, he delights in trips to Ikea, plans for homeownership and obsesses over which household appliances would be the best buy.
I have no doubt that he'll make the best of fathers.
He talks to the baby in my belly often, reading him fairytales on the weekends when he books out from camp and nagging me to remember to "play theMozart music at bedtime" to develop his son's spatial-reasoning abilities.
Naysayers can criticise us, but the one I take the most comfort from these days is my unborn child, whose lack of life experience makes him not na?ve but, in my mind, the master of living without fear of rejection and failure.In any case, the way he kicks in my belly sure feels that way.

Matchmaking meet

Matchmaking meet 10 min-->
They share CVs to find mates for their children at first such event here

Parents took matters into their own hands, saying their children were too busy for a social life. --
WITH a picture of her son in her handbag, housewife Wang Lianzhi mingled with some 150 parents at the Speakers' Corner yesterday for a mass matchmaking session.
'My son's 30. He's never had a girlfriend. He's working on his computer all the time and seldom goes out,' explained Mrs Wang, 67.
So she decided to play Cupid, distributing his business card to other parents.
It was the first parents' matchmaking session, organised by dating agency Clique Wise which had taken up a suggestion by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
PM Lee had floated the idea of having parents play matchmaker for their children in his National Day Rally speech last month.
He described how thousands of parents in Beijing secretly sought out spouses for their children at such sessions, commonly held in parks, and suggested Singapore parents try it too.
Yesterday, they did. Parents took matters into their own hands, saying their children were too busy for a social life.
Many like Mrs May Jow, 60, came without their children's knowledge. 'I took my daughter's photograph from the drawer without telling her,' she said.
The matchmaking process was simple: Parents exchanged details of their children like age, education and current job, and asked to see a picture of the 'candidate'. Some whipped out passport-sized photographs, others 4R-sized pictures. One parent came with an 8R computer printout of the family posing with the candidate in a graduation gown.
Parents were not only scrutinising the candidate's looks, but also sussing out the candidate's parents to see if they came from similar backgrounds. If all goes well, they exchange phone numbers.
Some parents like Mrs Jow were on the lookout for candidates who matched their children's height and age.
'The age difference should be about three to four years and he has to be at least 1.76m tall,' said Mrs Jow, whose daughter is aged 30 and is 1.68m tall.
Parents hunting for a son-in-law also wanted someone with a higher educational qualification and a stable career.
Said housewife L.H. Heng, 55: 'My daughter has a polytechnic diploma. Her spouse cannot have any lesser than that.'
The session's organiser, Ms Lydia Gan, said the event was held at Speakers' Corner as the older generation was familiar with Hong Lim Park. It was also free.
All Ms Gan had to do was register online with the National Parks Board, since rules were eased to allow outdoor demonstrations at Speakers' Corner from Sept 1.
While the matchmaking session was registered as an exhibition, and not a demonstration, it did draw onlookers like odd job labourer Jeff Tan, 60. He had dropped by after shopping in nearby Chinatown, thinking he would catch a protest in progress.
But there was none. So far, only non-profit group Hearer of Cries has held a demonstration, staging a 10-minute protest against employers who abuse maids.
Mr Tan said: 'I wouldn't come here specially. I work in Changi and I'm living in Tampines. It's too far.'
