LOOK UP 
I'm part of a generation where a considerable amount of time is spent looking at a screen. I embrace it, this thing called the digital age. I've learned so much about life and our world this way. But ever so often, when I do take my face off the screen, the lessons I observed in real life proved so much more valuable. Remember to look up - I'm here, I'm present and I'm involved in the people and things important to me.

Good work!
THE BOND OF SISTERS
In the movie "In Her Shoes", this poem was recited towards the end by Maggie to her sister Rose. It's a beautiful poem by E. E. Cummings:
I carry your heart with me,
I carry it in my heart.
I am never without it,
anywhere I go, you go, my dear.
and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling.
I fear not fate,
for you are my fate, my sweet.
I want no world,
for beautiful, you are my world, my true.
Here is the deepest secret nobody knows,
Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud,
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life,
which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide,
and this is the wonder that keeps the stars apart,
I carry your heart,
I carry it in my heart.

BALANCING ACT
I'm fascinated with bikes. That's why I love to take photos of people riding them. I'm mechanically illiterate but I appreciate the amazing forms on two wheels, surprisingly more than cars. Don't be surprised to hear me say I love to watch Bikers' Build Off TV series. Bikes are such beautiful balancing acts.

Pick your greens, they are an important part of a healthy life. Likewise for friends. Choose them wisely, for not all friends who laugh with you will cry with you.

THE JOURNEY
The journey is the reward. Am reminded now during my students' graduation show - don't focus so much on the destination that we miss out on the route there. There're so much along the way that we'll miss when we reach the end point. Let's celebrate the journey at the destination.

EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK
As famous as Singapore's coffee shops in our heartlands are the provision shops. These are shops that sell household necessities that range from toilet brushes to light bulbs to metal pots and pans. Children usually don't stand a chance not to be pulled by their mothers to the provision shop to help carry home household items purchased. Are we done yet?
