Yes I’m returning to Thailand in two weeks’ time. A holiday, you ask me? Nah. I don’t think I deserve a break yet. I should be working even harder at this point of time. I’m going because Rach and Colin are going to tie the knots next year so we’ll be going to see if we can grab anything for the wedding! Exciting to have an agenda like that.

PS: Pardon the collage full of food! I decided to let it be the central focus.

New beginnings

Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:10:29 +0800

I’ve always been interested in anything that has got to do with personal well-being and anything good for the environment. So it wouldn’t be too much a surprise for me to enjoy studying what I’m tasked to learn- how the body function, harmful chemicals and I will also be turning up the radar I have for such wellness purposes. It’s just that I wished I was more attentive in chemistry and biology classes back in school.

Well it’s never too late to begin! So I aim to be the expert in terms of health and nutrition and I’m going to be dishing out certain tips on things to embrace and other things to stay away from. As what they always say, until you can teach it, you may not fully understand what you’ve learned.

Have a happy Good Friday!

Fri, 29 Mar 2013 17:07:00 +0800

Over the years I have thoughtful friends who text me “Happy Good Friday” as a form of well wishes because they thought it to be a happy occasion especially since it’s a public holiday. I’ll always use that chance to share with them what Good Friday is about and how we Catholics ‘celebrate’ it. Then almost automatically they’ll feel bad when they realized that that day really actually commerates the death of Jesus. But I’ll be quick to have Easter Sunday in the picture and how we celebrate His death and resurrection. I still love them very much!

What is Good Friday? Well that’s simple to answer. It’s basically the passion of the Lord.

But Why does Jesus have to die? Text book answer of course is to save us. But reading this explanation from CS Lewis really helped to shed some light. The web also led to an explanation from Pope John Paul

Go ahead and read it!

Blessed Good Friday everyone!

Social issues in Singapore?

Sun, 17 Mar 2013 19:23:25 +0800

I was doing a bit of reading up about the social issues in Singapore and I happened to chanced upon this blog.

http://social-issues-at-sg.blogspot.sg/#

Honestly I think it’s extremely distasteful. The blogger has not only showed how a snob he was (or maybe still is one), but also displayed his utter lack of social skills.

He ought to do sales to pick up some people skills.

tumblr and boots

Tumblr, my daily/weekly/monthly dose of fashion and anything weird and fresh.

Seeing how my counterparts from the other side of the world are wearing their boots, encourages me to wear my dr mart every time! The boots will be my Christmas shopping companion today :)

Being attuned

Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:55:00 +0800

After meeting TT briefly after I left office this morning, have I realised that I’m much fresher and happier!

Reflecting much on it- I decided to pick up my book “Sleeping with bread: holding what gives you life” and start on my nightly examen. To have my nightly examen to discover God’s purpose for my life. Doing more of what gives me life and doing less of what doesn’t.

So for an example:

For what moment today am I most grateful? AND
For what moment today am I least grateful for?

Burnout comes not primarily from doing too much, but from doing what we don’t really want to do - so that one foot is moving forward and the other foot is trying to run away.

I love the fact that I have 1 1/2 off for this week!

Should be leaving home to office then to Raffles in a while. The plan today is to formulate my goal chart. I know I really want to get promoted to Assistant Manager by the end of the year and BM by next mid year. I will make sure I gun it down and finish my unfinished business before leaving for my next adventure!

Gradually learning to listen to God’s silent prompting and slowly understanding my purpose in life, God’s purpose for my life.
