Had a very interesting evening of conversation with a couple of friends yesterday, and among the topics we traversed was education. One of my dinner companions is probably what many Singaporeans consider to be the pinnacle of academic success. I believe he achieved perfect scores in his ‘O’ and ‘A’-levels and went on to win […]

Accent Rouge
A serendipitous shot along Orchard Road I haven’t felt much inspiration food-wise or photography-wise since returning to Singapore. Maybe it’s a state of mind? In any case, Wanting’s query about how Singapore looks like now gave me some motivation to bring my camera out again. This would have been a very boring shot if not […]
We've come so far
After all these years, it was really strange to hear you tell your side of the story… of the time before we became good friends. So you were feeling alone too… I didn’t know that. There always seemed to be people who wanted to confide in you and be with you. You were always so […]
Our favourite appliance
The clothes dryer is not far behind, but our $2000 Miele Steam Oven has got to take the prize. Yes, the price tag was steep. But it is worth every penny… even Zibin who was rather skeptical at first has now been completely won over by it. Why? Cos it makes really tasty and healthy […]
The one I miss the most…

Zibin's Birthday "Surprise"

Budding Talent
I wish I could say I took this photo, but I didn’t. *grin* This is a photo that Sherry took of HER OWN EYE. Amazing isn’t it? I was very impressed when I saw this photo. There’s a quality about it that just draws me in… something about this photo that is emotionally evocative. Sherry’s […]
Embracing 'Auntie-hood'
In Toronto, every now and then, Wanting would comment that we (i.e. she, Melissa & me) were quite ‘auntie’. Once, when Jing Jing and I went to West Mall’s Shop n Save, she commented that what we were doing was so ‘auntie’. Today, upon grocery shopping and buying herbs and sharing soup recipes with Yinwei, […]

Weakness
From this week’s Sacred Space: The experience of weakness deepens both our sensitivity to human need and our experience of prayer. There is an important consequence for all of us: we must make such a life possible for one another. We must support one another in weakness, forgiving one another our daily faults and carrying […]
