I am quite sure of it. You may argue my point. But, I am 101% sure that a dog is a man's best friend. No wait, its a man's BFF.
2 weeks ago, Bebe came over to our place to stay. Bebe is our friend's dog and is here on a social visit pass.
I think I am going to miss her loads when she leave this weekend....

My RCIA Journey
For the last 2 months, I broke out of my usual routine.
Instead of hanging out at Boat Quay after work, I hanged out at the yoga studio and gyms.
I cut back on happy hour drinks and spent the evening sweating out.
Most importantly, every Tue evening, I commit myself to GOD and my search for a lil' peace in myself.
Well, of course I do miss hanging out with my fav. people and laughing oursevles silly at our 2nd homes ... hahahahaha!
But at the same time, I enjoy this period of discovering myself.
I am almost like 2 months into my RCIA classes. I remembered telling myself to attend RICA with an open heart and mind and let GOD do the rest.
On the 1st lesson, I remembered Fr Anson Pang words. What strikes me most is that he say that Religion is totally free-will. If halfway through, if for whatever reason, anyone can feel free to drop out of it. I really like that a lot.
There were many topics covered in RCIA classes. During dicussions and speeches, those topics never fails to strikes me. Its so related to what I am going through and facing.
For e.g: There was this topic on a guy who had made it rich and successful. Yet, he is not happy. He goes back home feeling empty. So, what is the missing link? Is there anything or anyone to fill up this vacum?
If you look around and you see the rich, ask yourself. Are they rich in their hearts as well? As we work harder for every penny earned, as we toil longer into working hours, as we put in a lil bit more effort than the last, have we stop in our fast-packed tracks to take a breather? Have we paused to take a look at the people close to us? Did we stop to allow our mind to rest?
Almost naturally, I find myself drawn into the world of fame, glory and riches. I find myself getting into the rat race inevitably.
But I have to agree that this is part and parcel of life... that we cannot slow down too much and that when the time comes, we should work hard to strive a comfortable life for loved ones and us. So, again the crux is really on striking that balance. Its easier said than done. But if you're reading this, my dear friends and loved ones, I hope you take time to ponder on too. And when you are faced with adversity, do allow some time for your tired mind to rest.
As I go on my search for my daily dose of spiritual food, I do humbly pray that you; my dear friend, find yours too.
