There aren’t many women’s magazines in the market that I would pay money to purchase. While it may be cursorily pleasant to the eye to browse the typical fashion/life-style magazine, they often leave me feeling empty. I appreciate pretty faces/bodies and elegant fashion as much as the next woman (have I ever mentioned how I […]

Jet Li: Still my hero
Sometimes, childhood celebrity crushes grow up into big disappointments, like Tom Cruise. But sometimes, they have a way of maturing along with you, becoming bigger, better versions of themselves, and still inspire you. That’s Jet Li for me. [Mom, I particularly thought that you would be interested in what he talks about below. I think […]
Grace
I cannot begin to describe the joy, the deep joy, of sharing my Catholic faith with my husband. Today Zibin had a particularly difficult day at work. But when he shared what had happened with me, I felt my heart soar with gratitude and pride because he did not dwell on the injustice that he […]
Keep good company, read good books
That was the advice given to me and Jing today during our tête-à -tête with Fr. Frans. And I remembered, on a tangent, that I had read the exact same phrase years ago in Louisa May Alcott’s Rose In Bloom. I was impressed with the simple idea all those years ago, and when I heard it […]
Indulging Ann
I have said so before and I must say it again: I am infinitely glad to have a husband who thinks that the full power of my emotional intensity is a walk in the park. Furthermore, he doesn’t seem to mind me expressing anything I feel, and if you know me, you know how much […]

It so happened that the stories shared in my group focused a lot on how great it feels… the lightness, the joy, the thrill of coming to know […]
Must…bring…key
It’s 7:24a.m. in the morning and I am winded. Today is the first day of two weeks that I have to send Zibin to work by 6 to 6:30a.m. We got off to a good start; even managed to prepare breakfast for him and made a hot cereal drink for myself. I didn’t wish to […]
My husband on a Singapore stamp?
If you’re into stamps, you might know that the RSAF recently released a stamp collection as part of their 40th anniversary celebrations. The stamps feature the various vocations in the RSAF, and apparently, Zibin is the face of the AEO (Air Engineering Officer). Several years ago, Zibin was asked to pose under a F-16 for […]
I look to You
I used to wonder why You created me the way I was… so eager and passionate, so rich in emotion and enthusiastic in love. I used to wonder why whenever I got hurt. Because I would think that perhaps if I didn’t love the way I did, without reservations, I wouldn’t be hurt so easily […]
'You can't doubt' – Michael Phelps
Artwork by David Myers All of last week, there was one man whose Olympic quest I followed with bated breath. Thrilling as it was to witness history in the making, it wasn’t his gold medal tally that held me enthralled or his prowess in the pool that had me rooting for him. As the world […]
