A review by:

Mr. Chan Bing Fai

Former school teacher, Headmaster and educational technologist

Lynn Wong's latest book is SMILE though your heart is ACHING. This is a much awaited book, a worthy sequel to her first book "As Time Goes By" published five years ago. Both her books are generally about life and living. They are not autobiographies.

Her first book is centred more on childhood memories and growing up pains based more on events, observations and her responses and reactions to them, with the innocence of a child. Her latest book, however, is about the adult world with its ups and downs.

It is also about fighting corporate battles.

The words she has chosen carry her thoughts succinctly. They are warm and friendly without being pretentious. The topics included in both her books cover a broad spectrum of subjects and events. Some are more hilarious and many are focused on a more serious note.

Her approach to life is spontaneous, governed by prudence and common sense. It appears lighthearted and easy. Being a keen observer, even trifles, will not escape her scrutiny. Her response to these is largely based on common sense and knowledge; laced with wisdom.

Her thoughts flow through smoothly from one idea to another and the transition is gentle, methodical, tidy and logical. Lynn's philosophy appears simple and yet very profound and thoughtful; gracious and tinged with a lot of human skills and understanding.

Her books are very personal and subjective; unique, highly perceptive, intimate and reflective. I have enjoyed reading both her books and excitedly look forward to her next one which I hope will not take too long to come to fruition.

Her artist -illustrator- is equally talented in bringing out the many encounters and experiences of the author through her drawings; depicting expressions, moods and emotions subtly and with precision. Congratulations to both of you for complementing each other perfectly!

The typography and layout is attractive and designed for easy reading. The book is available in major bookstores.

It is priced at RM27.90.

DESPERATE

So often we moan that God is absent especially when we need Him the most in desperate times. 
Frankly, would we recognize God if we saw Him today...?!

BEAUTY FOR ASHES

Whatever we're going through in our lives right now will pass. Good or bad; happy or sad; silly or significant; that too will pass. 
Nothing last forever...

EMOTIONS

At times words are inadequate to describe a certain emotion... which is best experienced rather than explained.

DREAMS AND VISIONS ...

Use imagination to your advantage. Visualize yourself positive, upbeat, happy, healthy, humourous and having it all. 
Cast away negative imaginations and visions. 
What good is thinking ill of ourselves and others?! Such thoughts don't serve us well and will only slow us down...

DIFFERENCE

There's a world of difference when someone does something out of duty ... and out of love.

BETTER ONESELF

Competition is good if it serves to challenge, develop and better oneself. Competition becomes negative and destructive when the aim is merely to win at all costs ...regardless of!

PAST

Don't go digging up the past once you've buried it! 

 Drop it ... leave it ... let it go.

SUPERNATURAL

Fifty going on sixty. 
Had I not lived those ten years myself, I would never believe they were possible!!!!
A decade of giving thanks with a grateful heart, for supernatural health and healing; supernatural provisions and preparations; supernatural protection and profuse favor. 
Praise God!
Wonder what the next ten years would hold!?
 Fifty

Almost sixty
