Fun footing for Charity

Judy has done it again! This time it is in aid of the Palliative

Association and Breast Cancer support Group in JB.

Yesterday's party was just simply great with about 100

line dancers from Singapore and JB. Peter and Eelin of

Yipee was here to teach their latest choreographed

dance "Cha Cha" which is a 64 count-4 wall intermediate

level line dance. Music for this choreography is

catchy and lively.

This sweet couple displayed a heart of

gold by coming down to JB to drum up support

and raise money for a worthy cause.

in the pix but we certainly have a big heart.

"Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have

a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb

agree to serve.... You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics

in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by

love."

~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Good Friday

I had a very meaningful Good Friday which was well spent
not because I fasted but that I was called by Emily
to do a palliative visit to a 54 year old man diagnosed
with brain tumour.

He is a Quality Control Manager working in Singapore,
a very capable person according to his proud wife
and whose only hobby was to work. He has lost control
of his limbs but not his mind, a very intellect person who
is now a bit frustrated with his condition. I admire his
profound will to fight, beat and survive the cancer odds
despite his awareness of his end-stage-life.

"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss
is what dies inside us while we live.”

Washing of the Feet

We hosted a BEC gathering at our condo's poolside last night
and being Lenten season members were asked to come forward
to re-enact the washing of the feet. I had the sweet privilege of
having my feet washed by my husband (he offered to wash )
and through this wonderful action I learnt a few things. I am no
scholar and I think Jesus way is always the best.

To me it didn't matter who washed whose feet. The actor and
the recipient (the pics below) had a meaning.

1) Willingness to serve.
2) Obligation to serve and love the whole whether it's a leper,
poor, rich, enemy, animals, the planet etc.
3) Humility(letting go our ego eg. which I find sometimes
the hardest!)

Say, how about my pedicure and a reflexology!
