Heal The World

Saturday 29 November 2008



The despicable act of senseless killings in Mumbai sent chills down my spine. If 9/11 was terrifying, the Mumbai attacks was devastating and more so because one of us was innocently sacrificed. Suddenly terrorism becomes very real. It is now hitting us hard at home, confronting us, provoking us, enraging us.


I fear for our next generation, for this is not a world i want to leave my kid and his kids to. And now i fully understand why there are couples who chose not to have children. Simply because one day, our home may no longer be a safe haven for us all.


I can't help but be ambitious, and so let's pray that one day the world will be a better place for all to live in, especially for our children.

An Enchanted Affair II

Thursday 20 November 2008



Again, Shane did his part for this year's FaiRRytales Nite. This is his 'Guess-A-Song' segment and the vid lasted almost 15 minutes. So watched this only if you are really bored and try to guess the title of each song. I'll give you a cookie for every correct song title ;p





Btw, i dreamt i was posted to my Paris Office and Shane was given a place in an international school there!!! Now now... if dreams can come true :)


ps: i'm Chinese, i'm Chinese, i'm Chinese ;p


And if you are really really bored tonite and have not watched Shane's previous year's segment, here's the vid:





An Enchanted Affair I

Saturday 15 November 2008



If you have been reading my blog since the day i started, you would be no stranger to my "Party Of The Year" entries.


This year, it was 'Fairytales'. I was supposed to come as the Lion from Wizard of Oz but my costume didn't arrive!! I ordered twice, from two different websites and none came at all. Although i got all my money back but i was very upset with how things turned out especially when i paid almost USD100 just for shipping alone! Guess i was just not fated to wear it. So in the end, i went as a dark angel. Not sure if there is any angel in fairyland, but never mind la. Found a dress, a fake mink coat and got myself a pair of white wings which i sprayed gold all over.


Anyway, here are a few pictures from last evening to kick start this enchanted affair, carefully selected and safe for general viewing :)

Becks came back in time for the party. Here we are, having the same pose every year without fail. I kept reminding him i was wearing a short skirt so he better carry me up nicely, i don't want to expose anything!

My Lighthouse

Sunday 9 November 2008



Never give up when life throws you to the storming seas. There will always be something there to guide your path, shine your way and see you thru. I found my lighthouse seven years ago and i'm very sure for those who are lost, they will find theirs very soon.


Life is definitely not fair but it's up to us to make it better.




This was made in 2006, for Shane's 5th birthday.



When You Come Back To Me Again
by Garth Brooks


There's a ship out
On the ocean
At the mercy of the sea
It's been tossed about
Lost and broken
Wandering aimlessly
And God somehow
You know that ship is me

'Cause there's a lighthouse
In the harbour
Shining faithfully
Pouring its light out
Across the water
For this sinking soul to see
That someone out there
Still believes in me

On a prayer, in a song
I hear your voice and
It keeps me hanging on
Raining down
Against the wind
I'm reaching out till
We reach the circle's end
When you come
Back to me again

There's a moment
We all come to
In our own time and
Our own space
Where all that we've done
We can undo
If our heart's
In the right place

On a prayer, in a song
I hear your voice and
It keeps me hanging on
Raining down
Against the wind
I'm reaching out till
We reach the circle's end
When you come
Back to me again

And again I see
My yesterday's in front of me
Unfolding like a mystery
You're changing all that is
And used to be

On a prayer, in a song
I hear your voice and
It keeps me hanging on
Raining down
Against the wind
I'm reaching out till
We reach the circle's end
When you come
Back to me again

When you come
Back to me again

Self-Portrait


During a conference call which was getting slightly bored, i drew this on the white board to amuse myself. There, my very first hand drawn self-portrait.
