Social media such as Facebook and Twitter, like all internet usage, can be a friend or an enemy of our time. Need a quick answer to or review of anything? Post it on Facebook and someone will surely have an answer or an opinion for you 🙂 It is a great way to reconnect with old friends […] Read more…

Good posts to ponder on
Here are some blog posts that I had shared on Facebook but not here. Be careful that in our search for a solution to our health issues, food, even when it is real food, does not become our god. Real Food is NOT a Savior Food is not your god Where satan tries to tear […] Read more…
Keeping it real
It is easy to present a front when we are writing our blogs or when we are on social media because we usually only post the high points of our lives and the pictures where we look good 😛 Sure there are some who gripe all the time but those are rare in a society […] Read more…
Some Blog Changes
I think it is time for a change 🙂 And if you had visited the blog just this week, you would have seen that I have updated the header for a start. My first blog, Building An Ark in Singapore, went live back in 30th July 2006 on the Homeschool Blogger platform. In February 2008, I […] Read more…
An Unhappy Lot
It would seem from the postings on social media and blog posts that Singaporeans are truly very unhappy – with their lot which they feel is the government’s fault.

She can go out all by herself ah?” We burst out laughing and I replied, “Yes, she did go to the shop all by herself.” […] Read more…

It is no big deal – really!
It seems that everytime someone enters a new decade of their lives there is much sadness instead of celebration and excitement. I see this all the time on Facebook updates. Why? Have we been so sold out to the world’s definition that we are valuable only when young? That an older person with experience and maturity […] Read more…
Is your cup half full or half empty?
Have you ever met someone who is always negative? They drain you, don’t they? 🙁 Everything and everyone is against them and even when things are good, they still only see the bad. It is amazing how they can always find something to criticise or complain. I feel sad for them for there is no […] Read more…
Listening to the “experts”
It is sad that many of us have been so well-trained to listen to advice from the “experts” that we no longer even query if these “experts” are really experts as long as some fancy letters come after their names. But those fancy letters do not make them experts on our lives or our children’s lives. […] Read more…
