Take a Break to Think
Yesterday, you would be to find me at Suntec as I was there to attend the OSEA reception organised by BHC. I got to meet all the big bosses from all over the world in O&G industry.

I was feeling so tired and suffucated after leaving the place. While walking, I spotted a small stage at the lobby level. With a small group of youngsters singing christmas choir. I stopped my footsteps and a teenage girl approached me with a small piece of paper hoping that I will help the unfortunate kids in Singapore. As with each paper crane folded the unfortunate kids will be given food supplies during Christmas.

So I took one and started doing for I felt this is nothing to me as i'm a pro at it. But who knows, the minute I start to do the first fold, I felt so alien towards it... As if I had never done it before or should I say, totally no idea how to go about it. I was startled...

In the end with a couple of hints from that teenage girl, I managed to remember the folds and finished two with great blessing in my heart.

This has brought me thinking. Have I been moving too fast in life? That I have not been taking a break to do things that I like? When was the last time that I stopped my footsteps to enjoy the sweet fragrant of garden flowers? I pondered...
