A new Dawn

After a long time of being conspicuously absent from blogging, I am ecstatic to say that I am back and with a more positive attitude towards life.Someone said to me that we can only identify true love when we have found ourselves. So I ventured forth into an odyssey of self discovery that has taken me to many places, leaving me bewildered until that fateful day when I decided to join in a 4 days conversion experience retreat. Little did I know that November 4th will be a turning point in my life.Nothing could be possible without God, who's eternal and infinite love has guided me deeper into the awareness of my true self. I have learnt to look through the lens of positivity, accepting changes in life and embrace each new turn as a renewal rather an end. Most importantly, I have discovered the true meaning of unconditional love, through his words."Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4

My group at the Conversion Experience Retreat at CSC (4-8th November, 2010). With Archbishop, the most Reverend Monsignor Nicholas Chia and Father William Goh, spiritual director of C.S.C.
Recently, I became inspired by Patrick Notley, who complied some extraordinary photographs on a slide, manifesting a universal language called love. Likewise, my quest is to capture and spread love through the lens. Therefore, I am planning to resume studies in photography and/or video/film in 2011.

The Assumption of the Blessed Mother Sunday, August 15, 2010

Our Lady of Lourdes - At the Grotto in Lourdes, France. 2010

It is very rare to celebrate the assumption on a Sunday.

In Mother Mary's glorious assumption, we celebrate the fulfillment of our destiny and with her we proclaim the greatness of our creator.

Heaven is reserved for you and me.

Our death is not the end but an entry into a life that knows no death. Through greater understanding of God's plan of salvation and faith in him, we can find greater hope and peace. God forgives us even at our last breath. All we have to do is RSVP.

Philippians 1:22-23  

~But if I live, I can do more fruitful work for God. So I really don’t know which is better. I’m torn between two desires: I long to go and be with the Lord, which would be far better for me~

For those who have most reason to desire to depart, should be willing to remain in the world. There is a way to journey into that deep place of silence where you will find your real purpose in this life and when you have found it, your deeds will touch thousands of lives.

Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland was written by Lewis Carroll almost 150 years ago in 1865.

"I can't go back to yesterday - because I was a different person then" Lewis Carroll

I am late, I am late, I am late for an important date. No time to say hello. Goodbye, I am late, I am late, I am late!

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

“Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.”
