These are the two motivational books 

that I read in the previous month. 

Both are sharing the secret of life. 

I have just finished reading them 

and find them very useful and beginning 

to put it in good use. 

I have so many great testimonies to share. 

 Please stay with me.

P/s: You can get the first book from Popular Bookshop.

The second book is a book of my late-mum. 

I feel so fortunate to rediscover it again at the time I most need it!

Among her proud award winning titles are:

WAVE via Suzy Lee Books

A sunny day, a curious little girl and a playful wave - artist Suzy Lee has taken these three simple elements and created a visual tour-de-force that needs absolutely no words to tell its universal story. With masterful use of line and color, she explores the power of the natural world, the nuance of friendship, and even the very components that make a book.

THE ZOO via Suzy Lee Books
This book is about the zoo, a strange place where children and adults alike learn about nature, but also about its deprivation and despair. Curiously, children see the zoo differently from adults’ perspective;they know how to make friends with animals.

Here you go and peep into some lovely THE ZOO's pages.

Artist Statement

The Mighty pen
They say the pen is mightier than a sword. Indeed it is a powerful tool.
With a single written instruction, it can command a legion of army to strike war. With it, it can also seal peace between two nations. It can also stir emotions or bring tranquility in artistic ways.
To S. Amin Shahab, he chose the latter. In his quest to complete "One Kilometer World", the artist has used hundreds of pens to bring across not just the message of art but peace and harmony.

Inspiration-Dim Sy How (Part II)

Dim Sy is a very handworking and persistance student since young. She woke up as early as 5am in the morning to practise without fail for at least 45minutes before her school started at 7.20am.
I always tell this story to my piano students.
She was the main co-ordinator and one of the accompanists for this event.
Her playing was brilliant and won many applauses from the ground!
The "sound of music" of the show is still playing in my mind every now and then.
I'm glad to attend such a wonderful show and eagerly looking for the next big show by end of the year.
I truthfully wish Dim Sy all the best in her current and future undertaking.

Yeah, here are some extracts, they took more than an hour for uploading!
Listen on:)
