There are three kinds of love, - unselfish, mutual, and selfish. The unselfish love is of the highest kind. The lover only minds the welfare of the beloved and does not care for his own sufferings. In mutual love the lover not only wants the happiness of his beloved but has an eye towards his own happiness also. It is middling. The selfish love is the lowest. It only looks towards its own happiness, no matter whether the beloved suffers weal or woe. -Sri Ramakrishna

Just a story i found interesting... hehe
A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet Chihuahua along for company. One day, the Chihuahua starts chasing butterflies and before long the Chihuahua discovers that he is lost. So, wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch. The Chihuahua thinks, "OK, I'm in deep trouble now!" Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the Chihuahua exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here?" Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in mid-stride, as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees. "Whew," says the leopard. "That was close. That Chihuahua nearly had me." Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes. But the Chihuahua saw him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figured that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine." Now the Chihuahua sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet... And just when they get close enough to hear the Chihuahua says, "Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard, and why he hasn't come back yet..."
Moral of the story?
1. Don't do "backbiting", or "backstabbing". It could "backfire" at you!
2. Never, never, never give up.
3. In the midst of your trouble, do your best to remain calm and think of a solution rather than panicking.

i realised that hmm i need to blog more! haha.. actually i didnt feel like blogging but i guess i forced myself to so that my dearest fling! could read sum updates.. and of cos my other dear frens.. hehe jus in case anyway was reading still since they found out that lorraine is super lazy! oh well but i guess blogs arent really really online diaries... cos i guess what ppl post are jus the more superficial stuff like things they do and a lil or their thoughts.. or maybe subtle hints or could be big hints of how they are feeling but i guess it's jus never as real... honestly, who could be totally honest abt their feelings and the bitching tt goes ard them online for EVERYONE to read? hehe... bleah!
nothing much happened today but considering it was a rather boring week... today was quite happening already! hehe.. met up with christie and fiona for lunch and a lil bit of shopping.. jus in case lychee's reading.. to lychee>> i had super good discipline okie! i didnt buy anything even though i was really tempted! hahaha... anyway.. tt aside, maybe tt wasnt to lychee only... it's 4 everyone who knows that lorraine became a small little shopaholic! haiz.. i realised i miss the "bimbo gang's" company!! if i dont see them i dun feel a thing but honestly when i'm with them... i cant help but feel nostalgic! geez.. anyway, chris hasnt got her hall offer letter yet!!! i'm sooooo hoping she gets in lor... *prays* hehe..
later part of the day when chris and fi went to watch "charlie's angels2" i went to walk in bugis then went to meet wt... well hmm things are alright for now.. we talked abt our differences and agreed on stuff but i dunno whether tt's the way it's supposed to be.. anyway, hopefully stays this way until hmm.. i dunno when.. geez honestly, i dunno whether anything's gonna work.. i dunno what's gonna happen as time passes and i'm in uni and stuff.. :( maybe i'll know sumday or i dunno when but geez... i know my frens are disappointed in me.. of cos it's my life and i live it the way i want to but when i break down in tears time and time again not heeding their "advice" i feel super "dui bu qi" them.. yet.. it's my life.. perhaps they dont even care anymore... so sorry guys but i guess i haf faith that no matter what u'll stand by me cos tt's what frens are for? but grrr... haha super luan now!!!! i dunno what to say anymore la.. this is a mess... maybe i shouldnt blog abt such emotional confusing stuff which no one will understand.. looks like i'm a super duper complicated person... or maybe.. i jus think too much! i think i shall jus let things go naturally.. hmm but what is natural? *shrugs* haha oops i started it again.. sigh... dont think best la uh...
lastly, a bit anti-climax but i love my friends! i'm really really thankful and happy that they are always ard... even if they are in a faraway land.. hehe

You represent... naivete.
So innocent and trusting... you can be very shy at
times, but it's only because you're not sure
how to act. You give off that "I need to
be protected vibe." Remember that not all
people are good. Being too trusting will get
you easily hurt.

today i went to watch a performance put up by Joo Chiat Community Club called "An Evening Of Dance". well cos it's organised by my ballet teacher! and i really loved the show.. a few familiar faces i could see dancing.. a few from my batch a few "juniors"... then i had renewed passion for dancing.. jus miss ballet~ and working hard for all the exams and preparing for shows... had jazz and tap performances also which i am interested in but sadly never got to learning them... i jus keep thinking hehe if i had stayed on dancing after i finished my exams tt time i would be like those ppl on stage and yeah.. and i so want to continue learning it now.. hehe but i think i'd haf to start from scratch cos i 4got everything already! =( but i dont mind... hehe well so i haf 3 alternatives i guess...
1. to go back and see how my teacher can accomodate me...
2. find a adult dance sch and start from scratch cos too embarassed to go back to my teacher
3. hopefully sum dance grp in uni will take me in and hmm groom me! hehehe lolx..
btw, hmm things (specifically: relationships) arent really working out how i imagined they should be again and currently i'm a lil in thought and confusion as always... and other than relationships i jus feel or realised how shallow a person i was even though i think so much... anyway...
now playing: jay chou's black humour (hei se you mo)
