Love

What is Love? Love is a feeling . An affection for someone or for something. it can be the unique bond between a male and a female who like each other, the bond between good friends or even the immense devotion you have to your computer.

A simple four lettered word it may be, but i carry such a strong meaning. Today is Valentine's Day. It may be an important day for dating couples, to be weds and married couples. To me, however, it is sad to say that it carries little meaning. After a long day at home, all i can remember about this year's valentine's Day is the article in the Straits Times Forum about Romancing Singapore. It talked about instead of romancing singapore, how bout rebooting singapore. It talked about how this Romancing Singapore Festival which is to encourage more people to remember the little things in life i.e. Love and that money is not everything is actually a campaign to encourage more couples to tie the knot and procreate. Because of singapore's ever declining birth rate.

After reading the article, i agreed that we reboot singapore. Not in the sense returning to it's original state. But changing the attitude of the people. In the minds of singaporean are how to remain competitive in an ever changing global economy. To retain our jobs, to do well in our studies, to excel and be better than the fella next to you. i was watching this show on tv just now. " in america, you work and when you're off, you tink about work. But in Italy, we think about love. . These words made me think a little deeper into what is important in my life.
