JULY Flower : DELPHINIUM

With its lush, dolphin-shaped flowers, the aptly named delphinium – or larkspur – symbolizes an open heart and ardent attachment. Also signifying a feeling of lightness and levity, the gentle hues and refreshing fragrance of this summer birth flower give it a refreshing and distinctive natural beauty.


JULY Birthstone: RUBY

The Ruby's rich colour speaks of love and passion. Rubies were thought to represent heat and power. It has been said that the Ruby's red glow comes from an internal flame that cannot be extinguished, making a gift of this stone symbolic of ever lasting love.

Sun, Sea, Sand and the MALDIVES

I went to the Maldives recently. Maldives is made up of 1,190 low-lying coral islands in groups of 26 naturally occurring atolls which are divided into 20 for administrative purposes. (I even met an atoll chief!!). Maldives Islands are characterized by a unique coral nature islands, lagoons and reefs and the sea is so crystal, clear, blue water. This country is absolutely gorgeous and its worth a visit!! I totally recommend it. Sun, sea, sand and fresh fish everyday = one very content visitor!!! I think i can live in this country happily!!

I stayed at Bandos Island. Its a tiny island and you can explore the whole island in half an hour. I woke up early in the morning everyday to enjoy my swim and just to see sunrise. In the evening, i went for a walk, swim and enjoy the sunset. This is what I called paradise on earth. This is definitely the place to relax and enjoy yourself!! Bliss! Enjoy the pictures folks!

All About Me

My birthday was eight days ago. Life in general is good and I feel that I have truly come into my own. Do I have everything that I have always wanted?? Do I have all the material trappings that I always dreamed of? To be honest, No. And yet when I sleep at night, I am content because in general I have been blessed with good fortune.

The greatest gift that I have ever given myself is by being me, myself and I. By accepting my foibles and imperfections and yet still be grateful. I am comfortable in my own skin. I have a lot to be thankful for - I am here - I am healthy and I am finally at peace with my self.

I might occasionally suffer from insomnia, but when I eventually drop off into exhausted sleep, I find myself smiling in the dark of my great good fortune. My BBF tells me that I am the best thing since slice bread!!! Everytime we have a conversation, she tells me how much I mean to her and we share a sisterhood that biology never granted us. My other close friends share their hearts & lives and those of their children in such a beautiful and loving way that it makes me feel that I will never be alone. My family are not perfect and yet we all make sense. Idiosyncrasies aside, we genuinely love and support each other through thick or thin.

Have you heard of the "Last Lecture" by this dying cancer patient called Randy Pausch?? Truly inspirational and highly recommended. His lecture resonate with a lot of people - including moi, but there's something about what Pausch had to say that really touched a nerve. His advice; be real;if you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself; the dreams will come to you."

Live your best life people. You are in the driving seat.

1. Be positive -- good things will come to people who are positive

2. Take negativity with a pinch of salt

3. Dare to dream....I shall let myself love, hope and wish for the best.

Above all, be thankful - be genuinely, bone-deep grateful for all that we have.

Life Lessons

A friend sent me this interesting email on life lessons. The insights gained from the life lessons are valuable to everyone. Do take note as there are a bunch of life lessons to be learned here.

Life lesson 1

Evaluating Relationships: Our relationship is very important and yet it’s surprising we receive so little instruction on how to evaluate, prune, and nurture them. Start by asking yourself whether each of your relationships drags you down or lifts you up. Surrounding yourself with positive relationships is half the battle.


Positive Thinking: Attitude determines altitude. If you believe you can do it, most of the time, you really can.

Personal Accountability: Most success boils down to perseverance, determination, tenacity, and other products of personal accountability.

Life lesson 2

It takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it.

It's not what you have in your life, but whom you have in your life that counts.

You have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give you the right to be cruel.

Life Lesson 3

When I finished reading life lesson 3, I was laughing so hard. Jokes aside, there are things we all can learn from life lesson 3. Happy reading people.

A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,”Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But,changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”


Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

A turkey was chatting with a bull “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.
