"Life is not measured by the
number of breaths we take,
but by the number of moments
that take our breath away."

Let me introduce you to this girl, Cheryl. She's very fond of her dog, Amber, has a best friend called Li, and loves to dance. As a child, she was sheltered in a loving family who taught her about God's love, so she grew up a Christian, an idealist and a romantic.

Then one day, the big, wide world came knocking on her door. Enamored of its seeming beauty, she stepped outside the house and wandered off. Along the way, she's loved and lost, been used and been cherished, tasted both success and failure, and basically made a lot of mistakes that taught her how to handle life.

Born on February 7, 1986, she's now 22 and counting. If left alone, she would love nothing more than to curl up in bed with a good book and dive into a world of magic, mystery and true love. But she doesn't want to be alone forever... Somewhere in the world, she believes that there is someone who will see the flaws in her and love her for it. Someone whom she can settle down with, make babies with and grow old with.

One day, she hopes to travel the world... Dive at the Great Barrier Reef, watch turtles crawling in the Galapagos, kayak with the seals in Antartica, and stand in awe atop Mount Sinai. One day...

In the meantime, welcome to her blog.

Time flies.

Everything's changed, and yet, nothing's changed... I'm no longer studying in McIntire, nor even living in the States. In the past two years, SEED has bloomed, grown and borne fruit, and I'm totally hands-off at this point. In fact, I've been working in Singapore as a relationship manager at Citi for nigh on two years! Wow. Never thought I'd be doing that.

But I'm still the same old me (or same "young" me! hehe). Still dating the same guy, still have the same best friend, still working hard, and still reading/playing wow in my spare time. Sadly, I feel like a gyroscope - always spinning furiously but staying in the same spot - when I'd rather liken my life's journey to a road leading to somewhere beautiful.

Well that's why I'm back to this writing board to do some introspection on my life. What am I doing with my life? What is it that God want me to do??

Stay tuned for "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren.
