Why wear the wedding ring on your fourth finger?

Why wedding ring should be worn on the fourth finger?

Got this from a friend's blog..

(Pls follow the below step, really God made this a miracle)

1. Firstly, show your palm, centre finger bend and put together back to back.

2. Secondly, the other 4 finger tips to tips.

3. Games begin, follow the below arrangement, 5 finger but only 1 pair can split.

4. Try to open your thumb, the thumb represent parents, it can be open cause all human does go thru sickness and death. Meaning our parents will leave us one day.

5 . Pls close up your thumb, then open your second finger, the finger represent brothers and sisters, they do have their own family which they will leave us too.

6. Now close up your second finger, open up your little finger(pinkie), this represent your children. Sooner or later they too will leave us for they got their own living to live.

7. Nevertheless, close up your little finger, try to open your fourth finger which we put our wedding ring, you will be surprise to find that it cannot be open at all. Because it represent husband and wife, this whole life you will be attach to each other.

Real love will stick together ever and forever

Thumb represent parents
Second finger represent brothers & sisters
Centre finger represent own self
Fourth finger represent your partner
Last finger represent your children

Love Song

Listening to Chris Rice's When Did You Fall reminds me of this song.. by Steven Curtis Chapman.. and it's no coincidence that they are buddies.. Here's the lyrics taken from my old blog.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I love Her

Well you know it's not the first time and it will not be the last
When you find me here on my knees praying for the storm to pass
But what I am really needing is much more than just relief
I am crying out for wisdom only you can give to me
'Cause it's such a mystery
I'm a clueless man when it comes to knowing how to love a woman

Chorus:
How do I love her
How do I let her know she means more than anything to me
How do I love her

Out of all the gifts you've given besides the very gift of life
There is none as precious to me as the treasure of my wife
And still all the love in my heart is like a raindrop to the sea
When compared to your love for her...and that's why I'm asking please
Will you teach me what she needs
I'm an earnest man when it comes to learning how to love this woman

Chorus

Well I know it's gonna take a lifetime
To answer this prayer I pray
But that's okay....'Cause I've given you and her my lifetime anyway

Chorus

How do I love her, love her
Tell me please
How do I love her
How do I love her
Won't you tell me, tell me please
How do I love her
Tell me please
Tell me, tell me, tell me
How do I love her
How do I love her

Let my words be few - Matt Redman

Let my words be few

You are God in heaven
And here am I on earth,
So I'll let my words be few-
Jesus I am so in love with You.

And I'll stand in awe of You,
Yes I'll stand in awe of You,
And I'll let my words be few-
Jesus I am so in love with You.

The simplest of all love songs
I want to bring to You,
So I'll let my words be few-
Jesus I am so in love with You.

This was a song which I learned from Jase.. and it's been one of my all time fav songs.. pretty meaningful.. and I guess it's like a theme song in my life..

I'm a guy who prefer to let my actions do the talking..
In this song, in my humble opinion.. it's by singing a simple love song to Christ..
I was also thinking.. if it could also mean letting Jesus work through me..
And that has been like my style of evangelism.. lifestyle evangelism..

I know.. I'm not a perfect role model.. Don't think I have consciously done that for a while already.. Maybe back in the days of being involved with the College Group back in KL.. but not since then.. But I prefer to be a man of few words and hopefully with those few words and actions, I would be able to make a difference.. in this world we call home..

Vegetating in front of the comp..

It's been a lazy weekend for me..

I will probably be in trouble tomorrow at work.. but tomorrow should be a "free day"..

So I am hoping to complete most of my pending work then.. but if clients start coming back with work.. then I'm in for it lar..

Sighz..

I think I do need the weekend off.. considering what is coming up in the next couple of weeks.. yar.. that's me rationalising my actions..

Will probably go do some spring cleaning around the room and bath room..

and hope that the iron comes back to life.. so that I can do my weekly ironing of work clothes..

Are the opposite sex worth the attention ?

Have you ever experienced this sudden intense feeling over a person who has been an unknown in your life and then suddenly you become aware of them and it seems like all you could do .. is eat sleep and think about them..

Ok.. so I copied the football slogan from Coke.. eat sleep and drink Coca-Cola.. but it's pretty similar hey..

When does infactuation end?? Does it only apply when you are a teenager ??

Does it apply to grown ups as well?? Grown ups... as in.. ppl who are supposedly adults, who are supposedly to be matured..

Or does infactuation/puppy love strikes people of all ages, sex and maturity??

Right now.. I sure would love to be Mel Gibson.. as the character in the movie "What Women Wants".. and not because he was recently caught drink/drunk driving.. haha..

Perhaps.. it would be a test.. when you sort of slow down and then reconsider how you feel.. so in a way.. it's good.. that we won't be able to see each other for the next month or so.. good for me.. so that there is less distraction.. (hopefully).. and be able to get through the bz season.. but then again.. I might be distracted anyways.. by the absence..

But yeah.. having some space away from one another.. would give a chance to evaluate the situation.. to analyse if it's just a chemistry induced high.. or if there is really something good in progress..

*i hope that it's not a case of being desperate.. coz I have been perfectly fine until #this thing strucked me..*

*there certainly are a lot of obstacles, if i want to view it from a rational perspective and deep down there.. i feel that it's not goin to be good.. maybe i'm just afraid to be burnt.. *

*but i do wish that it's mutual*

-like her, i'm a complicated soul-

Friends after a break up?

Question:

My ex and I broke up six months ago. We managed to stay on good terms, and he considers me his best friend. We used to call each other about everything until recently. Now he doesn’t call me as often or return my phone calls quickly. I spoke to him the other evening and suggested that I come for a visit, since we live in different states now. We haven't seen each other for a while, and I miss my friend.

He kept telling me that he thought it wasn't a good idea. I asked what the problem was, and I finally got him to tell me that he has a new girlfriend! I'm OK with that, but it seems that he is not. He says it would be awkward for me to be there and that he wouldn't like an ex of hers staying with her for a few days. He said he didn't want to tell me he was seeing someone, and I don't understand why. What should I do—just back off until he comes to me in his own time?

Answer:

I’m from the When Harry Met Sally school, where former lovers can’t be friends—unless a long period of time has elapsed. For example, let’s say you used to date someone and then you re-meet years later. If there’s no sexual tension now, you can agree to enjoy a platonic friendship. That’s one scenario where friendship with an ex can work after a time.

You guys were together only six months ago. Whenever a breakup occurs, one or both people may have a tough time shifting into single life again. Of course, the longer a couple was together, the more difficult the re-entry period. Single people today have invented what they believe to be an allegedly painless transition. They call it “friendship.” But this state of affairs isn’t friendship at all.

Friends are supposed to feel free to discuss their lives with each other. Your “friend” neglected to tell you he was dating someone he seriously liked. What kind of friendship is that? Have I made my point?

You say you don’t understand. I think you do—but you don’t want to accept the truth. His feelings for you were more meaningful to him than you believed they were. It’s terrific that you were able to walk away without lingering romantic feelings. Many people cannot. Your ex is a good guy with tremendous character. He doesn’t want to contaminate his current romance with his past—meaning with you.

Your best bet is to absorb all of this, refocus and move on. This man is no longer your boyfriend, and he’s clearly not your friend, either. You can’t force a friendship with someone who is resistant to it.

For the future, I suggest you steer clear of relationships that are loosely defined. In the game of relating, people have to know the rules, the boundaries, and the benefits. Had you and your ex honestly discussed this early on, I believe you would never have assigned the title of “friendship” to your current status. As my Gilda-Gram advises, “Clean breaks are always the healthiest.”

Does she want to date you?

By Alan Goldsher

Guys can be kinda dumb.

I’m not talking kinda dumb in a low-IQ kind of way—remember Ken “Mr. Jeopardy” Jennings? Last time we checked, he was a guy—and clearly not unintelligent. But in terms of figuring out how to comprehend a woman’s feelings about us when we’re trying to make the leap from “friends” to “friends who kiss,” forget about it. This is especially true for guys who’ve been burned in the past (and who hasn’t been?) who are wary about rejection. Maybe we’re not totally illiterate, but we often have a difficult time reading signals. So here, a few signs she’s interested—consider them your green light to get closer.

The “let’s laugh” signal
Distinctly not-dumb guy David Wygant, author of Always Talk To Strangers, is an excellent signal-reader. “If she makes you feel like a stand-up comedian, even though you’re not that funny, she wants to take it to the next level,” says Wygant. Similarly, Rosemarie of White Plains, New York, shares, “If I’m interested in a guy, I kind of tease him—I try to get a funny, bantering chat going. It shows that I’m interested in playing a bit of a cat-and-mouse game, you know? I’ll say something like, ‘I think you’re just making that up,’ or ‘Honestly now, has that line worked?’ but I say it with a big smile and eye contact so he knows I’m just joking.”

The tell-tale time sign
If you are friends with a woman and sometimes wonder if there might be more there, take heed of when she wants to hang out with you. If she wants to meet you for a quick workday lunch, chances are she doesn’t fancy you in the way you might hope. But if she asks you to meet her for a drink in the evening or to see a movie with her on a Saturday at 8 P.M., she may be casting you in more of a boyfriend role. Says Shelly of San Diego: “I work with a lot of guys and admit to getting crushes on coworkers from time to time. I’ll chat them up about new movies I want to see, and if one I’m interested in asks me out, I do what I can to make it at night on a weekend. That makes it so easy to grab a drink or food afterward and get to know each other on a more personal level.”

The body language clues
OK, so the odds of a woman reaching out to hold your hand while you’re flirting with her are slim to none. So how does she use her body to show you she’s interested? Jess from New York believes a woman’s gestures will send you the message. “Her body language will give her away—if a woman leans in toward a guy while he’s talking, mimics his body language, and maybe sneaks in a subtle touch here or there, these are pretty good signs that she’s into him. Obviously, he should get her phone number and actually call.”

And how does a guy know if a woman isn’t interested? “If she is looking around the room while he’s talking to her and crossing her arms across her chest,” says Jess, “she’s probably not that interested. Also, if she tells the guy that he would be perfect for her sister or she suddenly brings up the fact that she’s been talking to her ex-boyfriend, there’s probably not a spark there.” The guy should just move on to a woman who is worth his time or possibly take the uninterested woman up on her sister offer.

The look of “I like you”
A guy should also know what kind of eye contact is waving him in. Direct eye contact that lasts more than a couple of seconds is a sign of interest, say the experts. And if a woman looks from your eyes to your mouth, well, things are in very, very good shape. “I don’t know if it’s conscious or not, but when I like a guy, I find my gaze wanders from his eyes to his mouth,” says Moira of St. Louis. “It’s definitely a seduction move; it lets him know that I’m thinking about what it would be like to kiss him.” Gentleman, if you’re getting that signal, this is another time you want to go ahead and get that phone number.

Blast from the past 3

Reading for the day..

Pretty cool reading taken from a fellow blogger..

Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to rule over him
Out of his feet to be trampled by him
But out of his side to be equal with him
Under his arm to be protected by him
And near his heart to be loved by him.

-Saint Augustine-

I'll Be..

I'll Be - EDWIN McCAIN LYRICS



The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful,

Stop me and steal my breath.

Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky

Never revealing their depth.

Tell me that we belong together,

Dress it up with the trappings of love.

I'll be captivated,

I'll hang from your lips,

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above



[Chorus:]

I'll be your crying shoulder,

I'll ll be with the trappings of love

I'll be better when I'm older,

I'll be the greatest fan of your life.



Rain falls angry on the tin roof

As we lie awake in my bed.

You're my survival, you're my living proof.

My love is alive not dead.

Tell me that we belong together.

Dress it up with the trappings of love.

I'll be captivated,

I'll hang from your lips,

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above



[Repeat Chorus]



I've been dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead.

Tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said



[Repeat Chorus]

Urgent Prayer Request

Hey friends..

I need your prayers urgently..

Received news about my maternal grandma..

Apparently she suffered a heart attack.. and there might be bronchitis complications as well

She was admitted to the hospital yesterday to get doctor's diagnosis and to keep her under watch in case there is a subsequent heart attack, etc..

Pray that she will be strong enough to recover fully..

She's like in her late 80s liao.. so recovery time is always the key issue..

Also that she would have peace with her and that she would not be in any pain during this period of time..

Also pray for the family.. that they would have the Lord's wisdom to manage this crisis..

My maternal grandma lives with my uncle's family in Ampang and I think my uncle is still working in Vietnam.. and my dad has just left for Indonesia to teach..

So it's left to the 2 ladies (mom and aunty) to do the best for granny..

So people.. please pray for my granny and family whenever the Holy Spirit leads you to..

Thanks..

Agape.
