Came across this quote in one of the churches in Montreal.
“Unless prayer arises from the heart which must be at its very core, it is no more than an idle dream, for prayer must flow into our words, our thoughts and out actions.”

Things are going to be a bit quiet around here for the next two weeks, as I will be attending a conference in Canada, followed by some R&R. However, as much as possible, I will post details of my journey in my travelling tales.
Was looking for some information about Canada tonight (or should it be this morning!?!? 😉 ) since I will be heading out there in a few days’ time. Just out of curiosity, I decided to get some information about driving in Canada.
However, it occurred to me that I didn’t even know which side of the road the Canadians drive on! Well, like any internet-literate person, I Googled… In fact, while my first thought was how ridiculous the idea was, I decided to use the keywords “drive canada right side” nevertheless. Guess what? There were quite a few hits, as it turned out.
Just read the saying:
It’s not WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU that matters most.
It’s how YOU THINK ABOUT what happens to you that counts.
This may sound like a cliche, but perhaps next time when something bad happens, reflect on the following?
Every disaster in your life is not so much a disaster, as a situation waiting for you to change your mind about it.

In case it went unnoticed, this website now provides an RSS 2.0 feed. Notice the little icon at the bottom right? 🙂 On a suggestion from Kace, I decided to try out MovableType’s RSS features over the weekend.
As of 2pm yesterday, I have jumped on the band wagon of digital photography. I finally bought a digital camera, after much self-debate and research, not to mention some recently missed chances… 🙂
When getting a new gadget, given the pace of change in technology these days, my philosophy has always been to get the tool that is sufficient for my current and immediate future needs (and maybe future). This naturally rules out many of the latest and greatest stuff!
Short and to the point, yet deeply meaningful.

Upon discovering some truth which runs counter to things you have been brought up to believe in (where there is no doubt to the authenticity of the “new” truth incidentally), there seems to be three common reactions:
Which would you choose?
Recently there has been a spate of charity and fund-raising functions in Singapore. No doubt the intentions are generally good. However, inevitably there will be some who become overly eager and end up adopting the ‘hard-sell’ tactics. Worse still are those who feel that they are somehow more superior and berate others into giving ‘voluntarily’ to charity.
I don’t think this is right.
