When I started to notice many whom I believe are keen crafters or festive decoration enthusiasts checking my old blogs on Christmas crafts out, I was reminded that the special season of the year is fast approaching and the year will soon draw to a close. It seems like it was only a few short…
I am revisiting one of my most read blogs — bitter or better (reflection of a single woman of faith) on singledom. I confess it is not exactly a great blog when I read it then and again as I am reading it now but at the time, I just wanted to say what was weighing…
Last year marked my milestone birthday. Although I did not get to celebrate it with a bang and create unforgettable memories with my family and close friends as I was called away in short notice for a month-long stressful work assignment in London, I was more than excited to see what life had in store…
“Taking an image, freezing a moment, reveals how rich reality truly is.” — Anonymous At the crack of dawn and while bleary-eyed, I was picked up by friend Ellen before Yuen Yee, our other travelling companion. The three of us were to meet our designated driver Edvin back at Ellen’s for our weekend cross-state border…
My friend May reminded me of the second part of the famous Chinese idiom “在家靠父母，出外靠朋友” (One depends on one’s parents when at home, and on one’s friends when away from home) when I was stressed out on how to collect one of my huge suitcases that she was bringing over to Kuala Lumpur for me…
Apart from a short stint in Labuan off the coast of Sabah many years ago, I never worked anywhere else but in Kota Kinabalu throughout my professional life, at least not until March this year. When I decided to take up a job offer in Kuala Lumpur with my family’s blessings, almost all of my…
I made my first and a surprise trip home recently after I moved to a new city and started a new job. Apart from my siblings who were informed very last minute for the obvious reason that I needed a ride from the airport, I did manage to surprise my parents and friends pleasantly. However,…
At the end of tomorrow I will be celebrating making the two-month mark in my new job. This second month seems to have breezed through as I adjusted and settled in nicely in my new environment in a new city. I have not been blogging since I started work so I thought a short update…
So here I am… looking out from my new accommodation on the 21st floor and I am greeted by a totally different skyline from what I am used to. After a 2.5-hour flight yesterday, I got into a new city to begin a new part of my life journey. I am making some great changes…
The highest form of of love – agape (agápē), divine love Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves…
When the dust has settled, you will discover it was never random! 當塵埃落定後，你會發現事情根本不是偶然的。 “My season with this job has come to an end,” I explained to the team at work after I tendered my resignation in very short notice in August last year. The heads of department were in utter disbelief that I would leave…
Last year when I tripped over a small speed bump on my life journey, I discovered the essence of true friendship. The life lesson I have learnt: Friendship isn’t about who you’ve known the longest, it’s about who walked in to your life, said “I’m here for you,” and proved it. ~ Unknown My heartfelt thanks…
