Charging On

Dark clouds looming outside my room. Can hear claps of thunder sporadically. ITS GOING TO POUR! YEAH!!!! I love rain. Don't know why but when I see those huge droplets falling continuosly...it somehow refreshes me. Rain never fails to charge me up. I am thankful that on a day when I'm feeling rather gloomy and drained, the rain comes to perk me up!!!

Dread this week. 2 huge assignments in my face and I'm half-way done for each. I know I'm at my peak of stress when my brain is actively thinking about my assignments even when I'm asleep! Arghhhhhhhhh....literally losing hair over it (not that I have alot to spare lor). Gross!

Ha..but as I ponder about things, I asked myself if I should need to feel all frus up over assignments! Aren't there more impt things in life than my assignments? Why must all these dumbo assignments and deadlines have such strong control over me, my emotions and well-being!? I believe I'm stronger than that! Come on lah...I'm a product of the education system of Singapore! Haha...endured tougher training prior to NIE.

I always tell myself never to stay in the rut if I ever find myself in one. I have to somehow get out otherwise, I'll just remain there or worse, sink deeper. Its time to get my act together and keep charging on as I've been doing. All these trying moments are mere fleeting ones, but what should stand strong is my inner being , my character. I'm not easily taken down and these assignments will never be able to! Haha yeah!

For now, having a new perspective and making the choice to stay positive and be ME! :)

And waiting for the refreshing downpour to come! Quickly will ya????

Wo(Man) of the hour

As I read the tribute to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, I can't help but feel this profoundly deep admiration for this immensely brilliant forefather of Singapore. I was in awe of his contributions and how his influence is so pervasive in modern Singapore, yet so few actually heard and know of his legacy. The more I read on about what people remembered of him and his long list of accolades, the more proud I am to be a Singaporean. I never knew places of interests like our zoo, bird park and even Sentosa were his ideas! These are just a tiny fraction of his contributions. My gosh....it was just an incredible discovery and I was hooked to the Saturday's Special edition on 'Remember Dr Goh Keng Swee'. Strangely, my heart was pounding as I read and later reflected on this titan's life. Instinctively, a question came to mind i.e. will there be another titan like Dr Goh, Mr Lee KY, Mr Wee Kim Wee or the other members of the Old Guard in my generation? Will I get to see one em...

SHAKING OFF THE DUST

Its been a long hiatus :) So many things have taken place and so many reflections to document but the inertia to do it was just to great to resist. Anyhow, decided to take some time during this break to start the 'blogging engine' going again. Hopefully, it revives my hope and wish to keep this site alive.  Just had the annual ODAC camp @ Ubin and while trekking around the island with the kiddies yesterday, I chanced upon this little grasshopper at the Sensory Trail. I managed to get up close and personal for this shot, which was taken with my new iPhone 7 ahem. Image was sharp and it looked great!  And the verse that came to mind was: "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?....Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." - Matthew 6: 26-34 In my rest...

PSALM 121

I lift my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel, will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Many a times, man fails to keep his promise but God never. He makes a promise and we can be so sure He will keep it forever and ever. Man may fail but He nevers. Sometimes, we may wonder if God is really doing the right thing for us but I know one thing - trusting Him is the only thing that can never go wrong :)
