Life is not about the number of breaths you take but the number of things that take your breath away. We should live our everyday to the fullest. Till now, I am still trying to be the person who help more, reject less, praise more, criticise less, comfort more, upset less, cheer more, jeer less, love more, hate less...........
And maybe I can succeed one day with the strength given to me by God, the Almighty and also the encouragement and love showered upon me by my loved ones.

World Communications Day
During homily yesterday, Father Brian De Souza spoke of the Pope’s message in calling for ethical practices in the media industry. This is in conjunction with World Communications Day. Father Brian shared the true story of a normal person which I think is inspiring enough to share. A gentleman who owns an advertising firm incorporates into his corporate policy that his company will not accept business from any credit card company. He perceives these credit card companies as seductive loansharks whom entice the consumers with all the perks and attractive lifestyles that owners of their credit cards can have. Meanwhile, they put in the fine print the actual conditions of using these credit cards which most people miss out and thus fall into the trap of credit card debt. This happens to many young people nowadays. Though I feel that some faults should lie on the consumers who do not exercise control when using those cards, I applaud the advertising business owner who takes an impressive position as a Catholic businessman and puts his belief into practice. What is more amazing is that this gentleman is no saint. He is just as normal as anyone of us. Thus, the power of faith and the Holy Spirit can really guide a man to God’s glory instead of the devil’s arms.
