Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration. But for as long as you have a heart that never hardens, give unselfishly, love tirelessly with a touch that never hurts, then fear not the darkness for your candle will burn an eternal flame. There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer; no disease that enough love will not heal; no door that enough love will not open; no gulf that enough love will not bridge; no sin that enough love will not redeem. It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble; how hopeless the outlook; how muddled the tangle; how great the mistake. A sufficient realisation of love will dissolve it all. Love may hurt a little sometime, or sometime may even hurt a lot. Love is after all a fire. Whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your house, you can never tell. But if we allow ourselves to fear the trappings of pain, then love will not conquers all. Sometime back in the early March of 2005, Ziehan and I were both struck by Cupid's arrow. It was painless...And we can swear by that.

I am a strong believer of fate. I believe that if it's meant to be, then it's destined to be. I could have been born any other man than I am right now; be that I am the "Prince Of Egypt," "Shrek, " or "The Pirate Of the Caribbean," I will live to die not sparing the highest mountain nor the deepest sea in search for she who holds the key to "The Dead Man's Chest." Like Adam, I would rather live outside the Garden Of Eden with my "Eve" than to be inside without her. We did not fall in love by a sudden burst of coincidence or by the malfunctioned polarity of gravity. As fate would have it, we fell in love according to plan as chronicled by God in his master textbook. One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is love. As for me, if I have to drown in the deepest sea, I'll drown myself with Zie in me. The whole business of love after all is to drown in the sea.

Time is too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love, time is eternity.
