Missing Home
Sometimes you don’t realize how much you miss home until you receive an invitation to your best friend’s wedding. As you look through the wedding website and see who is the best man and groomsmen, you can’t help to feel you should be there…. ….perhaps this is what real friends are. You want to be […]
Chores
A while ago, I read an article relate to those who work in the IT field. Since most of our work are virtual (bits and bytes), there’s a invigorating feeling when we perform physical work, like chores. The rationale is we get to physically see and touch things we accomplished. Perhaps this is why I […]
Encouragement
Sometime encouragement comes in the unlikely places. This is from Jason. A friend who followed my blog for a few years. He was coming through Singapore a few months ago on his way to Cambodia. We had a chance to stop by for a coffee. This is the email he wrote after he went home […]

Singapore
A view from the MacRitchie Reservoir Different. That’s how I feel being in Singapore since I landed on Saturday evening. It feels different. There’s a certain scent in the air that reminds me I am in Asia. This is the scent when I was in Cambodia and in Hong Kong. I am very bless to […]
Surreal
Sitting at Gate 139 in Terminal 1. The flight leaves in two hours and there’s time to sit and be still. Drinking medium regular (Medium coffee with one milk one sugar) and a whole wheat bagel toasted, not butter. Realizing that today will be the last morning I am in Canada. The drive to the […]
