It’s about control, not blame. If you know what your choices are but you continue to make poor choices, then it is something that you have created and you are not in control. We have to stop doing what doesn’t work for us. We do that by finding out the reasons why it doesn’t [...]

The lakeside view from Bliss Restaurant @ Hougang Avenue 8 is good, but the wine and food are even better (no GST/SC). Situated amidst that tranquil chunk of greenery known as Punggol Park (at the other end of Punggol Road), Bliss is the kind of place that makes you want to lounge on a [...]

Be The Best of Whatever You Are

If you can’t be a pine on the top of the hill
Be a scrub in the valley–but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush if you can’t be a tree.
If you can’t be a bush be a bit of the grass,
And some highway some happier make;
If you can’t be a [...]

Snuggled in a shophouse at Tanjong Pagar Rd, the decor combines clean and neat lines of contemporary styling with paintings by local artists and touches of Peranakan flair like carved wooden screens.
The cuisine is Peranakan from traditional recipes, making for some very authentic food. A good appetizer is the kueh pie tee: bite-size “top hats” [...]

1) Syrupy Sports Drinks – Athletes in Florida running marathons may benefit from sports drinks, but for kids doing ordinary exercise, these sports drinks do more harm than good.
2) Sugary Cereal Bars – High in sodium, low in fiber, and not much better for you than the sweetened stuff people usually call dessert.
3) Fatty “Instant” [...]
Live Your Life……….

Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.– Harold B. Melchart
Meditation… Towards a Stress Free Life

Meditation helps us overcome our manifold desires and distractions. It does so NOT by curbing desires – which will always be there – but by rendering them inconsequential in front of an unbroken and larger desire of existence. The more we can hold onto the memory of the meditation practice, the easier it is to [...]
