I had made these for a CSR initiative of my company. This and a couple more designs were screen printed on cards and sold to our staff to raise funds. Thought these might help you begin a new love story this Valentine’s day. : )

The average person tells 4 lies a day, 1460 lies a year; a total of 87,600 lies by the age of 60. And the most common lie is, “I’m fine”.

Happy New Year, everyone! And thanks for staying with me all this time. I have said it before and I will say it again – this blog, your friendship and encouragement have saved me in every way a girl can be saved. For that, I will be forever grateful.

When you think you are looking fly and your outfit is rocking but it isn’t.

If anything, your outfit is very grandma.

After we moved here, for the first few months I tried to keep up this habit. But fresh flowers in Singapore are hella expensive! And they’re most hothouse type flowers which don’t particularly smell like anything. Add to that they…

Once when I was running,

from all that haunted me;

to the dark I was succumbing –

to what hurt unbearably.

Searching for the one thing,

that would set my sad soul free.

In time I stumbled upon it,

an inner calm and peace;

and now I am beginning,

to see and to believe,

into who I am becoming –

and all I’ve yet to be.
