Saturday, March 21, 2009?
Just now I went to help my mum buy 4D. Ya help my mum. Anyway when i was in the Q, I heard a small little girl shouting "ah ma zong ma piao" she kept on repeating and repeating. Her ahma like dun care about her. She was just busy inside writing her 4D. People around me were laughing including me. I really don't know to feel funny for the little girl or sad. Such a young girl already know what is 4D and wait for her ahma outside the 4D station where so many people are buying. If my mum in future, bring my kids to buy 4D I will turn very nasty. I am serious. OMG... I also wonder what other values the little girl parents and grandparents bring into her life!

I was watching a bit of the service early on. Then I saw Meng How together with his wife and their girl Chloe on stage for a testimony. Hehe.. Chloe was my student before. I remember sharing on my blog that Chloe loves me a lot. Every Sunday, her ahma will bring her to Playgroup while her mummy will go service. Ya bring to playgroup not 4D shop!!!


How to know if you're in love?
I just finish this chapter and going to share the 12 test to see if you are in love with someone or just infatuation.
  1. The Test of Time - Love benefits and grows through time; infatuation ebbs and diminishes with time.
  2. The Test of Knowledge - Love grows out of an appraisal of all the known characteristics of the other person
  3. The Test of Focus - Genuine love is other-person centered. Infatuation is self-centered
  4. The Test of Singularity - Genuine love is focused on only one person. An infatuated individual may be "in love" with two or more persons simultaneously
  5. The Test of Security - Genuine love requires and fosters a sense of security and feelings of trust
  6. The Test of Work - An individual in love works for the other person, for his or her mutual benefit
  7. The Test of Problem Solving - A couple in love faces problems frankly and tries to solve them. Infatuated people tend to disregard or try to ignore problems
  8. The Test of Distance - Love knows the importance of distance. Infatuation imagines love to be intense closeness 24/7, all the time. (I experience this before. 3 mths in Paris!!!)
  9. The Test of Physical Attraction - Physical attraction is a relatively small part of genuine love, but it is the central focus of infatuation.
  10. The Test of Affection - In love affection is expressed later in the relationship, involving the external expression of the physical attraction we just described
  11. The Test of Stability - Love tends to endure. Infatuation may change suddenly and unpredictably.
  12. The Test of Delayed Gratification - A couple in genuine love is not different to the timing of their wedding, but they do not feel irresistible drive toward it

The story of Jacob and Rachel (Gen29:1-20)

Jacob was attracted to Rachel almost immediately. yet he had to work 7 years in order to marry Rachel. That's 5 years beyond the typical lifespan of infatuation. Do you think his love understood stability and delay gratification? The Bible says that the 7 years "seemed like only a few days." WHY? Because of his love for her. It was about something really worth waiting for. Hmm this is a very good lesson point for me. Will I consider the 2 years be only a few days? Only time will tell... if she is worth waiting for, then it will be only a few days...

Alright I shall sto and gonna have my dinner and prepare for my Tennis match. Cya tml in service! =)
