Bee on a flower
I haven’t been taking that many pictures lately since we returned from our Taiwan trip.  Here is a shot of a bee resting on a flower which I managed to see while at the Sun Moon Lake. It was really good to stop and observe my surrounds that day or else I would have missed the opportunity to take such a shot.  Many times we get so caught up with the daily chores and tasks that we do not have time to sit down and admire the flowers. I’m glad that I had the chance to do so this month.

We can find that there are lots of wonders in our life if we spend time to really appreciate what we have and not take them for granted. I’m glad that I have headed the call to read more of the bible and am striving to read it everyday. Now that we are into the month of Lent there is even more reason to strengthen my bond with GOD.

What are you doing this lent?

PhotobucketThis week’s theme is on commercials. Here is one on the instant noodles Koka which we currently see  on the television.

Acting Balanced

1. What was the first live concert you ever attended?
It would be Sammi Chung Live in Concert in the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

I would think  blue or red.

3. What is one thing about you that most people wouldn’t know?

I enjoy learning new languages and only started speaking Cantonese after getting to know R.

Definitely R or my dad.

5. What do you think is the greatest invention of your lifetime and why?

It would be the IPAD. It really makes going online very easy when we are out and also has lots of great apps to occupy both the kids and us.

SOC: Feburary Review and Upcoming Plans

 

February has been a rather reflective month for me.  There has been highs and lows, doubtful moments and moments of joy and happiness. I guess that this is what makes life interesting.  I’m been rather unproductive this month and have been finding it difficult keeping to schedule.  I get very frustrated when things deviate from plan and sometimes really feel like kicking myself for not being disciplined enough.I’m wondering if I’m been setting my aspirations too high or if I need to be more patient and wait for a while before I am able to see the results I desire.

I’ve been stepping up exercising and paid but the kilos doesn’t seem to be falling off as fast as I would like. I guess that the eating out on weekends and my passion for it coupled with doing bakes has been self sabotaging.  Maybe I shouldn’t be so critical on myself and judge myself so much on the numbers on the scale as I ‘m sure there has been inches lost since I’m able to fit back into all clothes that were bought before the kids were born.

I guess I have to do a more detailed plan/schedule for next month to ensure that what I have planned for the month does get carried out.
