Review on Mid-year resolution

I have stated on July 31st that I will be taking a break in daily updating of my blog as I needed to get out of town to attend a funeral but I still managed to update my blog daily up till Aug 1, and then fatigue got the better of me and I finally missed Aug 2nd update.

One day lapse in more than a month. I give myself a pat on the back for sticking to my mid-year resolution to blog daily since June 2012. :)

A review on 'The Necklace' - a good read

The Necklace is a story of 13 women in Ventura, USA, who got together to buy a diamond necklace and they each get to wear the diamond necklace for about four weeks a year.

What started out as a social experiment to test if 13 women can truly 'share' in a materialistic sense evolved into something much bigger as they used their 'influence' to raise money and creating awareness for charitable causes in their town, hence the necklace turned into a totally different 'symbol' for the people who knows about this joint-ownernership.

Lesson to be learned: We cannot take away materialism in today's world but we can redefine it in our own way, making a difference to the world while doing so.

Good read!!!

Only Time - a reflection on life

The video of the ever beautiful Enya singing "Only Time" - still so soothing to the soul after all these years.

Hurt - takes time to heal.

Crop - takes time to yield.

Painful memories - takes time to forget.

Skill - takes time to be acquired.

Elation - takes time to sink in.

Habit - takes time to form.

Will be humans make it in the end?

Only time will tell.

p/s - just attended my husband's godpapa's funeral today - he is also my father-in-laws' eldest and only brother so it was a close relationship. Makes you think and reflect on the frail human life.
