Well, I’m back. And I feel torn between just catching up on sleep and getting some much needed rest, and getting started on all the things I need to do. I want to do a ‘spring’ clean for my room and throw lots and lots of junk out (am in a throw-away mood which means […]

Sizzling
Yep. If I lay down on the pavement in NY, you’d probably get some kind of grilled goat. If I stayed in the underground subway station for long enough, you’d get roasted goat. You get the idea. I don’t recall being in such temperatures before. Today will be worse than yesterday, the weather channel says. […]
Warm Welcome to NYC
Well, I’m here! In a terribly warm New York City. Yeah, it wasn’t just Serena’s bright cheery smile at the airport that was warm. Seems like we arrived in time for a major heat wave which will last till Friday, which is when we leave New York. *wry* How hot you ask? Temperature will go […]
Good-bye Again
I’m flying off to New York tomorrow morning! There’s still much I’d have liked to do before leaving, but I can’t finish them all. I haven’t even time to say proper good-byes to my friends, though they’ve all been in my mind and heart even while we haven’t met or spoken. There were letters/emails I […]
Travelogue VII: Roots
In less than three days I’ll be leaving Singapore again, and my mind has been full of thoughts and reflections. I’ve been so busy during the day this week that I’ve been losing sleep in the night due to all the things whirling in my mind. These two months in Singapore have been crazy busy, […]
Banded in Matrimony
We got our wedding rings today!!!! Well, not really… as in, we didn’t buy anything, but we certainly decided where we were going to get them! And it’s all thanks to Enling who recommended Fairies Inc. to me, a wonderful little establishment that makes customized wedding bands. And by golly, there were really interesting designs! […]
Justice, Kindness & Humility
When I was at St. Nicks last week, I was pleased to see this banner with the verse from Micah 6:8. Somehow it felt really apt for a school that had “Simple in Virtue, Steadfast in Duty” for its school motto. Depending on your translation of the Bible, the verse may be slightly different, but […]
Freedom from Connectedness with God
You will discover that the more love you can take in and hold on to, the less fearful you will become. You will speak more simply, more directly, and more freely about what is important to you, without fear of other people’s reactions. You will also use fewer words, trusting that you communicate your true […]
Words
I was reading an issue of Family: Good Living, Better Parenting magazine this morning while waiting for my mom at the NUS MRI Centre. There was a short article entitled ‘Speak Wisely’ which spoke about the power of positive affirmation in parenting. As you can expect, the overwhelming tendency is for parents to focus on […]
Deep Dark Secrets De-classified
Today during lunch I was reminded with a jolt that there was one person in this world who could, if he wanted to, blackmail me. Well, let’s just say that this person remembers things I did ages ago of which I have little recollection. John was in his story-telling element today, with Zibin, Cathy and […]
