I have listed down my New Year’s resolutions on paper. I am intent to keep my resolutions this year. I said to myself, A New Year, A Better Me. This year, I am aiming to improve myself, do more travels, spend more time on those things that I enjoy doing, travel more, lose weight, improve my blog and bake some more. But it is easier said than done. Based on the book This Year I will by MJ Ryan, one of the 10 resolution pitfalls is being vague about what you want. So I am going a notch higher by … [Read more...]
INSPIRATIONAL SUNDAY: ABOUT TIME MOVIE
Yesterday, my hubby and I watch a movie in Cathay Cineleisure Orchard. My poor husband was dragged into watching a cheesy love story Brit movie. Hahaha!

INSPIRATIONAL SUNDAY: SHARPEN THE SAW
I love Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of an Effective People. Though I like his son's Sean Covey version in the 7 Habits of an Effective Teen because it is more readable and funny. It was rather appropriate for me back then even if I wasn't anymore teen because I was reading it while I was still in medical school while my contemporaries are already working. We usually remember the 1st habit "Be Proactive" or the 4th habit "Win-Win" but we fail to remember the last habit, the 7th: "Sharpen the … [Read more...]

WHAT I WILL TELL MY EARLY-20-YEAR-OLD SELF IF I MET HER TODAY?
I picked up another chick lit that is not written by Sophie Kinsella. I borrowed the book written by another Brit writer, Alexandra Potter entitled, "Who's That Girl". The story is about a self-made successful woman who just by chance (it was not clearly explained in the book why) met and befriended her 20-year-old self. I was not impressed by this book. It is not funny as Sophie Kinsella book. The story was dragging and the almost exciting parts started at page 200 and the protagonist met … [Read more...]
