Redeemed Relationships

Published by Beatrice

“Many of us do not enjoy the liberation of redeemed relationships because we are faking peace with one another because we lack the courage and conviction to expose our chronic condition of sin in our troubled relationships, marriages, families and, even, our Christian fellowships.” — Pastor Chris Chia Been reflecting on this point since Paul Tripp’s talk last week on how our Christian walks are all a community project. Of course, Pastor Chris has, as usual, summarized my thoughts more elegantly – we are sinful and need a trusted community to continually point out our sins and help us grow in godliness. It is ironic how we all know we need to be humble, yet, it’s so difficult to take feedback on our sins and opportunities. Even in secular work places, people generally agree that arrogance stands in the way of change that brings about growth and improvement. I, too, as a perfectionist-in-reform find it difficult to take feedback, especially when delivered harshly. I often brood over what people say to me for days even …

Sushi Airways 寿司航空 Sushi Bar @ Kampong Glam area

Published by Beatrice

Wanted to meet a long time friend for catchup and she wanted Japanese, so decided to try out Sushi Airways! It can be a tad hard to find as it is on the second floor, so this is the shot of it from across the street to make life easier for you guys who want to try it out. Sushi Airways is a Japanese restaurant and sushi bar crafted after the interiors of an aircraft cabin. It can be a bit tacky looking especially with the service staff dressed as air stewardesses, but Theme Restaurants (click to see some bizarre concepts like prison themed restaurants) are big hits in Japan and I must recognize this place for the creative concept! Furthermore, Sushi Airways offers affordable set lunches and has an extensive ala carte selection of fresh seafood flown in four times a week from Japan. Tempted by the very good food photography in the menu, I ordered the Airways Baru Chirashi Sushi set ($15) with chopped salmon sashimi, tuna sashimi and hotate. The ingredients were chopped with …

Lend a Helping Hand to a Child TODAY by shopping at Watsons!

Published by Beatrice

I am so glad to finally be able to share on a social cause that can help the community! I am really keen on corporate social responsibility (CSR) because I believe the scale of corporations can sometimes achieve a lot more for the needy than if we were to help as individuals, and serving a social cause makes work so much more meaningful! As a #pgemp, I am privileged to be able to work on many corporate social responsibility projects like our tie-up with Special Olympics, and today, I would like to share more on Watsons Singapore latest Helping Hands initiative launching in November to help raise $20,000 for Chen Su Lan Methodist Children’s Home, and YOU CAN HELP! Launched for the first time, Helping Hands hopes to empower and fulfill the wishes of the children in Chen Su Lan Methodist Children’s Home. Based on the theme “I Believe in Magic”, the drawings featured on the tissue sets provide the children with an opportunity to express themselves through art, whilst reflecting their desires for the future. Nine …

Ramblings of an Ex-Procrastinator-to-be (Week 2&3 of 6) – Sharing Wunderlist2 Experience

Published by Beatrice

Second and third instalment from guest blogger, the Hubbubu. Proud of his progress and hope it encourages all of us trying to form good new habits! — First of all, I must apologise for my “procrastination” on my Week 2 post. As promised, this is a followup post from my commitment in Week 1 to discipline myself and overcome procrastination. This is partly due to the long weekend over here in #Singapore and I decided to go on a Social Network fast. HOWEVER, I was reminded (thanks to #Wunderlist Reminder) to write it which prompted me to note it down last weekend to write today. Here’s my experience (Week 2&3) of using Wunderlist as my task and list maker to help prevent my procrastination. Here is my progress so far: Week 2 & 3 – Getting into the Rhythm It has been a tough ride to remember every little thing to note down. It has been easier to remember that I have to note it down to Wunderlist, but, if I do not do it immediately …

Don’t treat your career marathon like a sprint

Published by Beatrice

Great reminder just before my long weekend! Time to be still before God, and sharpen the saw 🙂 “Because my lawyers aren’t chronically overworked, they have the capacity – in terms of time, energy, and mental focus – to respond effectively to your crisis situations. We are much more able to rise to these occasional challenges because we don’t treat every day like a crisis.” – http://blogs.hbr.org/2013/10/dont-treat-your-career-marathon-like-a-sprint:

Ramblings of an Ex-Procrastinator-to-be (Week 1 of 6) – Sharing Wunderlist2 Experience

Published by Beatrice

Today’s post is a guest post from my awesome Hubbubu, who has been kind and humble enough to not just admit his struggle, but to blog and share his experience in trying to overcome procrastination to become a more disciplined person. We pray this encourages all of us on this pilgrimage of overcoming our struggles.  This is a 6 week instalment to journey our progress! —- Achieving Better Discipline (By N, the Hubbubu) – Instalment 1/6 I have always been struggling with the issue of Procrastination. Over the years, despite starting many initiatives to overcome the problem (writing on a notebook, using digital list as my reminder) and making some head way, there will always come a time when I will subconsciously digress and inch back to my old ways. This is always a vicious cycle, and every time I slip, I would always feel that I would have achieved more of my potential if I could eliminate my procrastination. More recently, after getting married, my wife brought up a good point – procrastination was …

Starting my 8th year in P&G

Published by Beatrice

To God be the glory. Its been 7 years. Thank God for completing 7 longggg years. I still remember reporting for work on day1 and waiting for my laptop with miss E. So cliche but time really flies! I have learnt, grown and overcome so much because of what my job scope has exposed me too. There have been many mornings I feel like quitting, or simply cannot wake up, or never even slept the night before, but i will myself to work. But amazing coaches, managers, customers, teammates and the people who report to me now inspire me daily and keeps me going! Lotsa encouragement from loved ones have really helped me too. Thank you God for giving me this job! And I really thank my parents for supporting me over the years otherwise I won’t be able to perform at my peak at work. And also thank God for doors open to be able to reach the team I work with for Christ! What a journey and I pray for humbleness to continue …
