Time to Sleep!

If you're still thinking of your New Year resolution, consider making this one which costs you nothing but will totally change your life for the better: Sleep more!

 Ever since I made this resolution on 1 January 2020, I find myself more alert, productive, innovative and slimmer too! It is amazing how a little sleep will transform your life!

 But don't just take my word for it and read everything on sleep here!

 To track my sleep patterns, I use the Sleep++ app on my iPhone and for Android users, you can choose a similar app here.

P.S. As 2020 is the lunar year of the Rat, it is interesting to note that rats sleep a lot - about 9 hours a day and that is why they are so energetic!

Today is the 100th-day death anniversary of my Dad, Vincent Woon . I'm close to my Dad.

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 was a die-hard meat-eater , specifically a chicken-eater . Hence, it was beyond my wildest dreams that after more than 30 years of eating meat , I would become a Flexitarian . 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
