ABUNDANCE

Long after the festivities have ended and decorations stored away, sweet memories linger...of happy times spent with family and friends. A good opportunity for reunions and gatherings to 'kepoh' and exchange pleasantries over traditional CNY dishes! Everyone is exceptionally agreeable during this brief season

Abundance holds different meaning for different people and as long as we have a heart of gratitude and contentment; a spirit of joy, calm and peace, what little we have is abundant.

God is good all the time.

LOVE vs PITY

Love and pity are two different emotions. Because of the fine line between them, pity is often mistaken for love!

A 'pity relationship' poses many extra challenges and wears out one party more than the other. There's a tendency of one taking advantage of the other. Under such dire circumstances there aren't many options; either cultivate tough love or bail out...
Life is full of difficult decisions. This is just one of them. 

Live, love, laugh...be happy regardless.

COMFY

Different look for different folks! Whatever suits you and makes you feel good. Go for it. Celebrate our differences!  Add colours to outfits just as we would add colours to our lives. Be flamboyant if that's your style.  Fashion is what you make it or perceive it to be. 

These days even ABSURD is fashionable.  Who is to say.  Kansai is how you want to look, kansai it shall be!  Enjoy mixing and matching just as in life. 

I'm comfortable with my look.   To each her own.

HIBERNATE

To hibernate isn't all bad but once in awhile we need to go out for a breath of fresh air and change in scenery. Quiet is calm, serene, tranquil and most soothing. 

However we tend to get mouldy ... gathering moss... being in solitude for too long.

Reach out and be touched; you are missed...

MERCI

 A gal can never have too many hats!  So me...  Happy as can be.

Merci beaucoup for the lovely gift.  Have lovely days.

FINALE

 If life is measured in quarters, then this for me, would be the fourth and final chapter; the finale before "IT IS FINISHED!'  A stark reminder to finish well and strong. 

The kind of legacy you'll leave behind upon death would depend largely on how you've lived. 

Life is in the present... and it's primarily made up of daily choices and decisions.  It need not be complicated.  Thinking makes it so. Simplicity works wonders.

Sending love and blessings ...

FALL OR FLY

I'm not done dreaming!  Are you?  ... resigned to just sit back and wait for your time...

There are still places to explore; people to meet; mountains to scale; books to write; moments to capture and memories to create.   Live to the fullest even if it means you'll fail, falter and fall.  Probably will but then again you might flourish, fly and finish well.  That sounds like a deal!  After all life is just an endless extremely exhilarating, exciting, energizing roller coaster ride.  Fasten your seat belt and take flight...

CALORIES

Small bites for two small eaters.  Enough to satisfy craving but not too much to fret over calories!  Just eat and enjoy.  Have fabulous days ...

GIFT FROM GRANDPA

I will always remember my paternal grandfather.  He was the first person who believed I could be whoever I wanted to be!  Grandpa ignited that spark of madness in me to always chase after rainbows and reach for the stars.  That was his greatest gift to me.  Who I am today is largely attributed to the confidence and can-do attitude my grandpa instilled in me at a very young age.  He gave me faith, strength and purpose when I had none.

Thank you, grandpa...you are God sent.

NOTHINGNESS

Life and love are inseparable!  Without love, life is meaningless.  Life bereft of love is mere existence...like chasing after wind.  Can one grasp wind in the palm of one's hand?  No.

What joy then is there in the pursuit of nothingness.  Choose Love and Life...
