I am blessed with a stunning view from both the living room and master bedroom floor-length windows of my condo. The dramatic sky, interesting cloud formations and vibrant colours during some mornings with Mt. Kinabalu in the foreground can be really awesome. Even during rainy days, the dreamy setting with mist-surrounded and rain-washed green hills…
It is said that life is a journey and I totally agree with it. Life is a journey packed with ups and downs, and highs and lows. Along the way there are smooth pathways where we get to enjoy the scenery at a relaxing pace or sometimes there are high speed motorways where we just…
How we begin or end every day is very much depending on our choices and attitude. We have the choice to give every day the chance to be beautiful and if we care to look, there are magic moments and beauty in every ordinary day. The world might be in a chaos right now and…
(18.10.2015 – 25.10.2015) Sunday It was pouring the whole day but the blues on this very wet and miserable day was chased away by that warm and fuzzy feeling called friendship, one that goes back a long way and with those whom I had not had the chance to catch up with for a long…

Looking back, although there have been many highs and lows throughout the year, probably more lows than the highs globally, nationally and locally, and even personally, I still have many things to be thankful for and…
I love the Christmassy atmosphere overseas and in fact, I have very fond memories of the many Christmases I spent in the UK during my college days; the pure excitement of getting ready for the festive seasons as soon as the month of December arrived, the hassle and bustle of Christmas shopping, the food and…
Dragon’s scale fern is an epiphyte. An epiphyte is a plant that does not take root in soil but grows non-parasitically upon another plant, usually a tree merely for physical support. It uses photosynthesis for energy and obtains moisture from the air or dampness from rain and cloud moisture on the surface of its host.…
One long weekend, 3 days 2 nights, 5 hours plus each way on the road, simple living, close to nature and my first mission trip! A trip that has touched me in more ways than I could have imagined.
