being Mei

Take a moment to see the world through the Asian-peepers of Mei. It's just Mei being Mei no matter what. Rain or shine, this girl ain't giving herself up for anything.

a new beginning beckons

A new beginning is sitting behind a door opened so readily for me to enter. Yet, I was hesitating. It shouldn't have been so hard since I was looking for this particular door for awhile now. It made me realise that after taking many turns, whether right or wrong, you start to wonder if the next turn IS the right one.

What I am about to embark in is going to be something beyond my capabilities - or so I thought- that I am seriously afraid of what is to come. What if it doesn't work out? What if I fail? Being a perfectionist, failure was never option. It was something deemed unacceptable. Ever.

However, challenge has always been my resolution. No matter how tough things get, I always try to be brave through the storm and finish first. It's funny how one person can have two very contradicting characters in her - being afraid of going into something totally out of this world and always wanting to seek challenges.

I wished I had answers to many questions I have in my brain. But I know only God has the answers and whether He plans on revealing them, is up to Him. After all the steep and high mountains I have climbed and always finished first, I believe my future is in safe hands. The fear of failure and perfection is a thing of the past. It is His calling to me that matters the most. I know that He has my interest in mind and knows what is best for me. I leave my life in Your hands, Lord. May You mould it, shape it and let it shine that many people will know what a great God you are. Amen.

reminiscence: trinkets of affection


A spring-clean through my folders and folders of photos led to the unfolding of some memories; there were some good and bad, painful but riveting and lastly, evidences of what I did to affirm my affections.

drooling for pancakes

Let me say this loud and clear: I am not merely a pancake addict; I am a Pancake House addict! It is safe to say that the only pancakes I'll ever eat are from Pancake House. I am totally hooked on every bit of that smashing blueberry pancake. Fluffy on the outside with delightful surprises in the inside, these yummy pancakes are worth every sen. Everyone who have tried it (even those who don't fancy pancakes in general, mind you) love them. I'll post up more pictures of the place and the food (of course!) soon. For the moment, enjoy... or should I say Bon Appétit!




Here's Susan. She was frustrated with the fact that I stopped her from gorging down her food to snap some photos of our meals before they disappeared in no time! :P

Anyway, I got to go catch some beauty sleep. It's late. And I have to look all dolled up at a conference that I have to attend tomorrow. GREAT.

Good night, peeps.

Congrats my dear friend

I know I'm late in posting this up, BC. This post is specially dedicated to you and your wife-to-be aka fiance, Mellisa.

For all the years I've known you, you have been there for me whenever I needed a shoulder to cry on, sharing great laughs on very random (and rather nonsensical) things and just being there for me as a good friend. You've never disappointed me.

I am so ecstatic that you and Melissa are finally tying the knot after dating for some time. I think you guys make a fantastic couple and I hope God will bless the both you. May His Grace shine upon you guys :)



Awwww... They were in tears when BC proposed on one knee in front of the whole congregation near Christmas. Ain't that sweet? :)

I love happy endings! Don't you? :)
