There is an inner beauty about a woman who believes in herself, who knows she is capable of anything that she puts her mind to. There is a beauty in the strength and determination of a woman who follows her own path, who isn't thrown off by obstacles along the way. There is a beauty about a woman whose confidence comes from experiences; who knows she can fall, pick herself up, and move on

One of the first books I read
Sunday, May 2, 2010
![]() today I made a delibrate trip to the bookshop at tampines to buy one of the first books I read when I was a kid. I still remember how intrigued I was as a child that words could tell u bout the whole world, that I could derive so much knowledge juz frm reading. It was this love and hunger for words and language that saw me thru so far in my education journey. I started reading ever since I was a kid. Inheriting all the books frm my elder brother, my read count was probably far beyond any kid in my kindergarten school and is the very reason why I am so blind now. :) I have been bespectAcled since k2. There was no book in the Hm I didn't read, except for one which I was made to put down, and which is, the very book sitting on my lap now. Back then, my dad was a pious Buddhist. Understandably, He wouldn't tolerate his only beloved daughter entering into another faith, not at least until i grew independent enough for him to lose me. He probably thought the least he could fo was to minimise my exposure to things he didn't want me to know. And me, being the small n timid little me, completely believed my dAd that Christianity is bad. That went on for many years until recently, both of us converted. With this conversion of coz, how cAn I resist the book that I was asked to put down many years ago? I vaguely remember how intrigued I was with the story of the noah's ark! Perfect bedtime fantasy if u ask me, but I was Asked to put it away and although it remained in my brother's collection of books for me, it was left untouched until bad things befall the family n we were made to shift out. It feels gd reading frm where I last left off. After the terrible flood, Noah and his family felt a bit frightened whenever it rained. But they would look up, as the sun burst through the clouds and see the rainbow shining in yhe sky. They remembered then that they were really safe. God would keep his promise. Posted from my iPhone
