3 of my former students (bevelry, peilin and yue kai) dropped by my place today :)

time flies... they are not going to be in their teens anymore.

they are turning from 1- to 20 this year!

they are now fine, young ladies who are getting ready to face the working world!

Who knows, they will be settling down very soon to start a family! ;P

It's great catching up with them and seeing that they are still so close.

one of them (peilin) will be showcasing her design portfolio at Raffles City Level 3 from 6 to 8 Feb 09. Do drop by to visit if you can! You might want to take a look at the website (created by her) for the event:

I spent a long time typing this entry but I was accidentally locked out of my blog and the whole entry is gone...

Oh well, maybe some things are not meant to be published...

Just to summarise, I realised that an educational degree means nothing much in a recession but a keen eyes for opportunities and a strong heart for adventures is what it takes to go against the odds! I really can't trust the possession of money as a form of security and for a peace of mind. I got to trust in Him who provides, in Him who determines the outcome of all our plannings.

As I think of other ways to bring home more for the family, I pray that I will be a father who knows how to strike a good balance between providing for the family and spending time with the family.

He is none other than Jerry Ong, ex-Singaopore Idol finalist, who is currently teaching my son guitar.

He is so passionate about guitar and music that he quit his job to be a full-time guitar teacher.

He is no longer teaching in a music school so he has a few time slots now available for personal lessons. Contact me if you are keen.
