Ting's dessert stall

It's at Ayer Rajah Food Centre, stall no. 42! So happy when i visited her yesterday, cuz i didn't bring my phone. And thank God cuz they're not open today, it's like random. :) had glutinous rice balls in cheng tng soup. My childhood fav! Hope they continue to do well, and everyone, do visit them if u're eating there!

Reflective walk at Botanic Gardens

Hardly reflective as mosquitoes were feeding on me!

:: Frailty of Life ::

Many people nowadays work as though they can live forever, planning things so long term, like what, year 2070??

"But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'" Luke 12:20

I am once again reminded of the fragility of life. Last week I've been working late nights for several nights in a row. I was so tired that, there was one day on the way home as I was walking by the road my body felt so weak it could just collapse anywhere. I almost immediately imagined a car knocking me down. Boom! There goes Angeline. One moment working so hard on a project, the next moment gone. I even imagined that my colleagues had to work doubly hard due to my demise that they couldn't even attend my funeral.

Sigh. Thank God for life as the way He meant it to be.


Morbid, but hey, think about it man. No one lives forever.

:: Credits ::

"I've stopped taking photographs of nature, as if to give myself credit for taking them. It's not as if my skills are good enough, but that precisely doesn't do justice to the Almighty God who created that original artwork. To just gasp in awe and wonder at the beautiful sight gives God glory for two things, one is the magnificent beauty of nature, the other is His gift of sight to us." - djgemz

My dad gave me a lift on his motorbike yesterday evening and I saw the whole sky stretched limitlessly with some orange clouds on the way from Potong Pasir to Serangoon. I think Serangoon simply has the best sunset view in Singapore. Yes, sunset! East Coast Park is crap. By the time the sun almost reaches the horizon there's always a thick layer of dark cloud covering it.

I started wishing I had brought my camera and that I could just stop at the flyover to take photos.... but I think of how lousy the photos would turn out and I think of past experiences where I've been too caught up trying to catch a beautiful photo I missed the moment of enjoying it.

I give up. Just admire. That's the best thing you can do to thank God for His creation.
