What Was Standing In My Way? by Ainee Cha Most of us, at some point in our lives, will have to face challenges and obstacles in which we ended up realising that we have somehow fallen into a place where we don’t belong; or perhaps found ourselves lost in the midst of our quest - our journey. Whether it’s that we are in the wrong relationship, or wrong job or with the wrong people around us. Whether it’s being in the wrong place, or wrong approach to life; or simply wrongdoing. At times, we pretend to believe things that we no longer believe; pretending to be who we are not; or pretending to be someone we were never meant to be. This moment of realization is no fun.

Love unfolds like spring… by Ainee Cha Surrounded by towering pine trees, sounds of the subtle burbling river streaming over the rocks and pebbles passable in the different shades of green meadows lies a force most powerful yet genuine – Love. I had the privilege to join my son’s school camp, a part of outside the school learning with a group of teachers and parent volunteers. We started off early in the morning, the children were all excited and ready for a joy-ride; an experience which will never cease to give them a kick-start in their life journey.
