Apart But Connected

I recently discovered a quantum mechanical characteristic of Friendship which I hereby term ABC - Apart But Connected; like two particles in quantum entanglement, two friends can be apart but connected in a mysterious way by heartstrings.

When I met up with my ex-classmate from my secondary school recently, we both exclaimed at the same time, "You haven't changed much after 18 years!"

It was a wonderful experience reminiscing our good old schooling days when we were full of mischief and having lots of fun. Somehow, the memories flowed freely as if they were just a day old. And I was sure we both felt the same sense of closeness that we had 18 years ago!

Now I know where I should invest my time and effort to reap a lasting harvest...

"The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart." - Elisabeth Foley, Writer

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

Conversion Story of a Meat-Eater

I have known vegetarianism for a long time, from 3 main perspectives: environment, religion & health. But it never crossed my mind to become vegetarian because I just couldn't forgo my favourite deep-fried, curried, BBQ, Samsui and Gongbao chicken ! Besides, I was happily healthy, spiritually religious and environmentally green - without being vegetarian ; there was just no compelling reason for me to make the diet switch! Then it happened suddenly: one fine day, I chanced upon a freely-distributed VCD entitled " Seeds for a Better World " from a vegetarian stall. After watching it, I immediately converted to vegetarianism ! The key video clip in the VCD which changed my life can be downloaded here . I was really appalled at how much animals suffer just because of our insatiable demand for m
