Performance vs Preference.
Choose friends who will always have your back just like you will always have theirs!

PERFORMANCE
Good friends never go out of season. They don't change with the times or fashion! Any relationship that is based on performance - the 'what's in it for me' mentality - can be exhausting.
Performance vs Preference.
Choose friends who will always have your back just like you will always have theirs!

HOLD HANDS
My father's one true love was my mother.
My mother had many, many admirers but only one love ...my father. Their union was far from being perfect but they had their moments.
Very few couples I know hold hands in their sleep. My dad and mum did ... love wins.

BE STILL
For all the times you've stood up; spoken out; protected and defended the underdog, wouldn't it be nice to have someone stand up; speak out; protect and defend you for a change!?
You have ... the Master of the Universe whispers: "Be still and know that I am God."

OPPOSITION
We often regard objection/opposition as obstacles which we abhor! That's negative thinking.
Positively, from a different perspective, when faced with objections/oppositions, we're compelled to find solutions to remove or overcome them.
Positively, from a different perspective, when faced with objections/oppositions, we're compelled to find solutions to remove or overcome them.
We need to quiet down; plan ... meditate ... seek alternatives ... explore options and proceed with confidence, clarity, caution and wisdom.
Our entire being - body, mind and spirit are then aligned in perfect synchronicity to take on the objection/opposition which has now become the opportunity for our personal growth and greater success. We can no longer adopt a lackadaisical attitude in life.
In this context, objection/opposition is therefore welcome.

Bring it on!
BOYZONE Live
A fabulous night out with my darling daughter.
BOYZONE LIVE at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.
Friday 24th August 2018.
It's not everyday that one gets VVIP tickets for an international top class performance. Second row way up front - best seats ever!
Wonderful experience. Joined in the fun and screamed my lungs out ...

APLOMB
Don't wallow in negativism!
Think happy thoughts; engage in wholesome activities.
When people say you're funny, fabulous, gracious and gentle; friendly, cute and a little crazy; endearing, adorable one-of-a-kind, believe it because you are!
Step out in faith - calling things that are not as if they are!
Celebrate You with aplomb and remember, you're worth all the fuss ...

POISON
Someone wrote: "Unforgiveness is liken to one taking poison and hoping the opposition (enemy) dies!"
Brutal but there you are.
Trust me the opposition will not die but the one harbouring unforgiveness likely will. Do ourselves a favour; don't be poisoned by unforgiveness. Dying such a gruesome death is not worth it!
It's truly liberating, this forgiveness thingy...

SPILLS AND THRILLS
Everyone has a story ... maybe a sob story.
😣I believe God is working behind the scene arranging things in our favor. He's working for our good although we can't feel, see, hear, sense or believe it!
Three hundred sixty five days; 24/7 God is in charge.
Like many before us, we too have been to hell and back.
Tough ... but through all the spills and not so-many-thrills, I know now God was with me all the time.
He promised never to leave or forsake me.😇 I trust Him at His word... hallelujah

IN LOVE
Romance is always in the air.
Fall in love with Life ... and you'll never have a dull moment.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS
When work is engaging, satisfying and meaningful, it feels more like play! I had given the best years of my life to my company - 28 years.
Blood, sweat, tears; bitter, sweet, sour, spicy and every kind of emotion attached to corporate life, I've tasted them all! No regrets. All things work out for good ... eventually.
Love your work and work with love
😍

Sweet to have pictures - memories of Those Were The Days ....
IF I PERISH, I PERISH
Today's thought is on Moses confronting Pharaoh to "let my people go!"
When you challenge the establishment, make sure you can take the heat. The hierarchy won't take kindly to the disorder and disruption you're bound to create when you rock the boat. People like that tend to play god!
Don't be surprised when you're thrown into the furnace or lion's den whatever those situations may be in modern times. You have no back up and no one is rushing to your aid. You're all alone, trembling and freaking out.
Was Moses scared? I bet he was - nerve wrecking; knee buckling; palm sweating; stuttering - terrified. Did he ever think of turning back? Heck, my times, I'm sure but ... 'a man must do what a man must do.' He had concluded that anything was better than another four hundred years of slavery in a foreign land!
Are you up to it? Not going to be easy. In fact it's going to cost you, "If I perish, I perish." Queen Esther thought it was worth it.
Take a deep breath. Be afraid but know that God is with you every step of the way.
Go Nike - Just Do It!

NEAR PERFECT
Is it a sin if one is attractive; smart, strong, sharp, sexy, sensitive, sensational.
Throw in gentle, kind, caring, loving, giving.
Add on witty, humorous and resourceful all in one!?
Would it be a crime to punish such a person!?

TRUST
"God, we are puzzled about life and its unfairness. So many questions unanswered.
You have shown Yourself good to us in countless ways.
Help us to trust You for what we cannot understand."
Amen.

SAMBA
A pastor friend encouraged a group of us seniors to 'follow our heart.'
"Do something crazy!"
I was skeptical, "What do you mean, c r a z y, Pastor?
Errrrrrrrr like dancing naked in the living room c r a z y ?"
She winked wickedly, " why not...if you feel like it!"
Hah! There's alot I 'feel like' but I will not venture into dancing naked in the living room! Nope... not even fully clothed.
However I shall be quite uninhibited and do a samba in the shower. Yes, yes... naked!
Soooooo brave me!!

TRAVEL
Travel widens our horizon; enlarges our world vision. We get to experience and appreciate diverse cultures and lifestyles of people around the globe.
Never imagined a country bumpkin like me can travel places, see the world ---- and often in style!
😄 Nothing is impossible if we believe, PLAN and WORK!
Every country has something unique to offer and I always come away in awe and thankful for the rich, astounding and memorable encounters. I was even fortunate enough to make repeated visits to some much loved destinations.
Some places that I've been to:
China - Shanghai, Wuxi, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Xiamen etc etc
Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau,
Singapore, Sabah
Australia - Sydney, Brisbane, Queensland, Canberra etc
New Zealand
Europe - Germany, France, Denmark Switzerland, Amsterdam, UK, Scotland - Edinburg, Birmingham, Glasgow, London, Belgium etc.
Rome, Croatia, Montenegro, Greece,
AND Israel which is definitely my most favorite!

PUNISHMENT
We have to first forgive ourselves and only then can we begin to forgive others.
When we are hard on others we are actually hurting ourselves; physically, emotionally, psychologically and socially. Like it or not anger and aggression beget argument, agitation, animosity and alienation. These have adverse effects which are damaging to our well being. Why subject ourselves to such undue punishment.
