passion
I realise that i have many passions, many interests and hobbies...but like they say jack of all trades, master of none. How pathetic. I look back at my life and realise that despite all that passion and interest i have never really invested my time and energy into any of those areas to truly say that 'i'm good', and really mean it. Yup,how pathetic...like where have u been swee? So sad. Shall try to maximise on the time before entering uni to do something with that interest.

You know if love is a choice...then there can't ever be such a thing as love at first sight right? I mean because it's a choice it requires effort and hence a lot does not come from mere feeling as such is the basis of this love at first sight concept. I mean love at first sight would mean a sudden rush of emotions that literally leaves you breathless. Then this love at first sight will lead to the birth of an infatuation due the constant thought of this particular meeting...spiralling to silly romantic fantasies and so forth.
So how do feelings become entangled in this web of love? Do we have any basis to say that we are in love, if love is a choice, juz because we feel different about a particular person? Yet to a rational and practical person...it does seem rather ludicrous. How can you love a person if you don't know the person well enough to make a choice? Hence love at first sight may not actually exist.
But a probable rebuttal would be that there is some sort of divine intervention. I mean as Christians, we believe that if it is in congruous to God's will, He will provide a special someone for those who 'need' it. I guess i say 'need' it because others have the honour of using their singlehood in servitude for God and still be perfectly happy.
But ok, if you ask me...love at first sight is really quite ludicrous, a proclamation made owing to hormones working over-time... Still it is such a romantic, hollywood-styled sort of love tt i guess secretly in all our hearts we do wish it would hurry up hit us on the head already, haha:)
