How to be Romantic

Most people associate Romance with candle-light dinners, flowers and mushy words and hence, most men end up being complained about being predictable and extravagant! That's because Romance means different things to different people!

Being romantic simply means being thoughtful of the needs of your beloved. Period. There's no fixed formula/equation - and that's precisely why romance is so romantic:oD

David,

Talking about ROMANCE. It is not the mere body contact nor the flowers or candle light dinners that matters most, it is the giving of one's self. Consumation of marriage has brought Stephanie into this world, oh how Blessed my wife and I are!
Now she is a woman whilst my wife and I get on with the years. I can imagine how thrilled and excited you and Lyn are to welcome the birth of your child. Later on when he or she is able to talk,laugh and play it will bring more joy to the family.
We never fail to say a decade to our Lady every day. After all the family that prays together stays together.
The family evening meals are a must.
We live simple lives, no worry about owning the 5Cs'as long as the family is in good health, that matters most.

A Spiritual Autopsy

Today is the 100th-day death anniversary of my Dad, Vincent Woon . I'm close to my Dad. In fact, among my siblings (2 brothers and 1 sister), I believe I'm the closest to him, being the youngest as well as having the same Catholic faith with him. I miss him... but the busyness of life (yes even during my 2-week-long holiday!) doesn't give me the luxury of time to reminisce our wonderful times together - perhaps our modern society is moving too fast and we risk losing our humanity and becoming more like unfeeling machines if we don't slow down... This afternoon, our family "visited" my Dad at the columbarium to say a short prayer. It was a short session with little verbal exchanges but it was a nice feeling to be together as a family, remembering someone so close to our hearts. And at 3pm, our close church friends gathered at my Mom's place for a short memorial service. Their presence meant a lot to us and spoke volumes of how my Dad had touched t...

Seeding Racial Harmony

Image
Last Friday, my wife and I volunteered at the " Racial Harmony Day " annual event at Montfort Junior School . It was a real fun and memorable event with yummy traditional and multicultural food and interesting activities like rickshaw rides and whacky photo booths. Many other parent volunteers put in their heart and soul to make the event a most meaningful one for their children by recreating a " kampung " environment where Singaporeans from the four main ethnic groups used to live together and interact freely; nobody locked their doors in those days because everyone viewed one another as part of the same big family! The following photo touched me deeply and conjured up feelings of pride, security and peace because it represented Singapore 's dedication to continued racial harmony in the generations to come: Photo by Andrew Teoh @ Montfort Junior School on 25 July 2014
