Wink Wink! Living life with Meaning and Inspiration
Colours that I spotted in street corners of Joo Chiat.
Red – Standing at the junction of Marshall Lane, along Joo Chiat Road, is a 3 storey shophouse, a private art gallery which specializes in oriental art.
Yellow – Walking a few streets down Joo Chiat Road, I see splashes of vibrant happy shades on the facade of these pre-war terrace houses.
Look out for upcoming posts on this area in Joo Chiat, where you will see the finest examples of Peranakan architecture in Singapore.
He told me not to look at his drawing when he was busy with these notes last night. Then he presented them to me, hugged me and told me that they were two love letters for me.
A simple but such an affectionate gesture from him really makes an ordinary day for a mom so extremely sweet.
P.S to hb – Ha! I got love letters from the boy, so where are yours? Oh and I am sorry that u are relegated in the second note to a just ‘by the way’ :P…
Linking up with
Braveheart probably reminds you these lines, if you have watched the movie…
“Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you’ll live… at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take… OUR FREEDOM!”
or maybe even this especially if you are mom born in the late 70s or 80s…

How about ‘Steel Magnolias’ then? The term actually refers to a Southern woman who is strong and independent, yet very feminine. A Hollywood movie was also created using the same description. With this new series of bloghops that I will be hosting, ‘Project BraveHeart and Steel Magnolias’, it is really not about movies or care bears. I will be ‘adopting’ these terms for a series on how Christian moms nurture our children in the areas of Character Development.
