Happy midsummer!


Today is the longest day of sunshine
All nature is blooming and glowing
in its summer's best

So am I

Wedding under the stars


Pao & Karen

xxx

An invite was laying on the table for me this evening.
I knew inside it was no ordinary invite

And it wasn't.
I was momentarily teleported to be among the stars

A wedding invite that was a hand sewn book
Fit for a Queen.
Queen Karen.
How sweet she has found her King.

An intergalactic union takes place soon.
And I shall be there
Dressed to linger among the trees
&
Under the stars

Father's Day


Kelvin Aik & son, Jovan


The show stealer in today's Sundaylife was - no, not the opening article on custom made rings, and nope, not the usually mind-blowing recommendations of Ms Tan Hseuh Yun, but. A family. 

A simple family with father, mother and son. Father, Kelvin Aik, is paraplegic, mother is an occupational therapist and son, Jovan, is a 2 year old. 

The pictures and narration were by Nuria Ling. And she did it beautifully. There was so much love permeating through the pictures - and this one just did it for me. A lot of humbling thoughts came through which is only what a brilliant article can evoke.

Celebrating the extraordinary fathers (and mothers) - including mine!
Do take a look yourself: Wheeling with Dad

Sunshine, freedom, and a little flower


"Just living is not enough,
one must have sunshine, freedom, and 
a little flower"

- Hans Christian Andersen




Buds & Blooms







There is hope in a bud,
realisation in a bloom :)




Meeting




"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed"
