The 5 Languages of Love!

The 5 Languages of Love!

1. Gifts
2. Touch
3. Quality Time
4. Acts of Service
5. Words of Affirmation/ Encouragement

Its is amazing how people express their love to others thru these 5 languages.

1. Gifts: It is a cash investment if you wanna shower your loved ones with gifts, to brighten up their day or to show your care and appreciation towards them. But you are rewarded back with their love and gratitude towards you, and people know you care for them. Use your creative brain cells and genes to make pretty lil things for your frenz, to save $$ ^^

2. Touch: Asians are traditionally more conservative in mindset and tend to feel awkward with touch. Not the literal hanky-panky touch touch, but as in expressing your care and love towards your loved ones thru hugs, a pat on the back or shoulder etc. This is something that most of us can continue to learn, bcos it is truly amazing how the sense of touch in our human body works, especially in times of good and bad times =) try it!

3. Quality Time: Singaporeans are known for their forever busy and hectic lifestyles and schedules, bcos we always maximise our time for all kinds of events and appointments. Time is precious, Time is Money etc. However all these lil committments and priorities can sometimes defocus us from the lil things of our lives: frenz, family, faith. Its good to spend good quality time with your loved ones, to share your care and concern towards them. You dunno when they will leave you anyway.

4. Acts of Service: Things that can warm people's hearts e.g. making breakfast for your parents for a change, helping with the household chores etc. Some of us are not comfortable expressing ourselves in words, so do it in action! After all we all know that "Action speaks louder than words"!

5. Words of Affirmation/ Encouragement: Do not belittle this language of love. It helps alot in one's self-esteem or emotions. It has been tried and tested, and it work wonders!! Encouragement is not easy to say or do, be it in words or actions bcos we are simply not used to affirming one another. How encouragement works: start small with your own family, then your circle of close frenz and so on. Do it thru lil gestures by giving notes of encouraging words, smses, gifts of appreciation or encouragement etc. Take abit of time off your busy schedule to do those lil stuff in life, it can change sum1 else's life w/o you knowing.

Suddenly I feel that I have changed quite abit in terms of character and thinking. People have been telling me lately too. I feel and am glad, that there are changes in me. God has certainly started to mould me into a better person, and placing several goals in my heart to accomplish. He has a purpose for me especially in this church. Frankly I din like this church one bit initally. Hahaha! Irony isn't it, yet I'm kinda loving it now. The environment and surrounding people certainly does play a part in the growth in God. I'm thankful to the nice R5/6 youths I have known for this past year at VFC, bcos you guys have certainly affected me in some ways or other. Thanks to all of you, love ya =)

Been shopping online on Ebay for the past few days. Got a pair of nice Guess? sunglasses for Mum's bdae pressie, another nice pair for myself (although I'm a blind bat w/o my specs), a bag each for me and sis, scouting for a nice bag and wallet for Ying Xi's 21st bdae pressie (have few choices to choose from already!). This whole shopping thing is so convenient and easy, no sweat or aching legs, no need shopping kakis or worry about our next meal destination. Hahaha! Shall get shoes next time round when I got cash to spare.

Finally i got to have a nice chat with the kids at net earlier on, funny and weird stuff going on lately. Sighs. Oh, the latest drinks 'Anything' and 'Whatever' are actually normal drinks we have, just that now the flavours are randomly canned and sold. Comes in carbonated and non-carbonated, well just can go try them for novelty sake. Heehee! I haben do my tutorial yet. Heck care lah, off to bed now. Stupid, warm and wind-less night, yet its cloudless; so pretty and starry sky * * * * * * Quite suitable for star grazing with that special sum1, or with a group of frenz ar... Romantic~
