Tarot cards reading
I first encountered my trusty card reader, Renee Chan back in 2002. She was doing one of the programmes that 1929 Hotel invited for their launch party. At that time, I was undergoing some internal unexplained tension - the free reading was fast but in that 5-10mins, she was able to help me understand what I going through.
Before I went for the reading, I was confused, irritated and unsure of my path in life. After the reading, the feeling of uncertainty, confusion was all gone. She spoke to me much like what I was thinking I was trying to tell myself -I think I was just too preoccupied to listen to that inner voice of mine.
For someone who works with words day in day out, I was speechless when Renee, using the tarot cards, spoke to me about my inner thoughts and direction that I was pointing to myself. I can't really describe it except that I felt as if my fears/burdens were lifted & I was able to see things more clearly after the reading.
From then onwards, I have seen Renee around 2-3 times since - both for a yearly reading and when I feel that I can't hear myself anymore. Her advice has helped me to be calmer but her insights using numerology has also made me understand myself better. Recommended Renee's services to my friends & they are all glad to have seen her.
Kudos to her for doing such a great job at calming my nerves and relieving the stress for me!
She has a website & provides personal consultations.
Penchant for Feng Shui items

The study of Feng Shui is a recent penchant.... Lilian Too's a good beginner & insightful educator. Kang Li @ FuLuShou is my fav haunt when I want some good luck coming my way :) Got some wonderful education from another fav info cum shopping boutique on what to do with your feng shui purchases as well!
There's antidotes for everything under the sun! Used to be a non-believer and treat it all as "hocus-pocus" but something happened last year. I got into a bad state & things got better after I got my 1st crystal at Kang Li. Guess perceptions do change as one gets older.... LOL
Would definately want to travel the world using one of these crystal globes as my guide!
Love the World of Feng Shui magazine (it has a store too!!!) cos it's soooo easy to digest for absolute clueless me :) Looked at the feng_shui_times_forum & man! it's loaded with info about flying stars, eight mansions & more stuff that I hve no clue about!
Will definately share more as time to come as my knowledge of this ancient art evolves!

My BabyGem
As promised, my other avenue for releasing stress - my lovely watches under my brand name "BabyGem" - I've got some pics taken at a fair I did recently at Orchard Hotel. It was fun showcasing my "gems" at the fair :) Got a fair bit of lovely comments from the people at the fair.

My idea for "Babygem" came up around the same time as I am having my child. As all women, jewellery is never enough :) So I came up with the idea that my pieces will not only hve a beautiful "oh-look-at-my-wrist" look but also a functional purpose as well.
I take my time to make each watch as I believe each of them should have a character/something about them that speaks about the owner or the person you are giving the item to.
My babygem blog has more info on each of the items.Tuesday, May 09, 2006
my feeble attempts to a blogger's world
Of course my 1st thoughts *argh* is "what the hell I am going to say?" After a good long 5 mins of research, I gather almost everything can be said & done since it's MY blog just so long as I am careful...ever the careful one am I. So here's to a slowwwww start of my journey of blogging....
Stress marks the day & is here to stay 4 today
Stress will go away; Only to come another day
Stress from work mainly arise from feeble attempts at intelligence by others.
To work off stress, I create my watches (will get some nice pics across in next post), talk to my Special SomeOne (SSO) but I can now blog & blah all I want - just so long no harm's done :)
Another stress release is to re-visit my last vacation pics in Bali :) Very pleased with this partic pic as even when I am not there physically, I can smell the air of tranquility..... ahh... feeling better already......
this was definately a picture perfect moment....complete with a yoga practitioner at the poolside. Not one of the seaside resorts that my SSO likes to frequent but definately worth the 1.5 hrs from the airport.

Looking forward to another visit there again cos the pool warrants a 2nd visit cos it's not voted as one of the top 50 pools in the world for nothing!
