A smile is a heart-to-heart communication: it emanates from your heart, radiates on your face, and lights up the hearts of others - Yip Pei Shan

The best things happen when you least expect it! I was attending a party at Gallery Hotel and was lured by the pretty flutist playing beautiful music at the restaurant on the second level. Mr. exceptional extraordinaire, Caron Ong, appeared immediately with a shanshiney smile and asked if I would like to dine.  I declined while expressing my wish to listen to the flutist.  Unperturbed, Caron invited us to take a seat to listen.  This was the first time I went to a restaurant without ordering anything, and had the brightest smiles given generously and willingly!  Not only from Caron, but from the other service crew as well as the pretty flutist!

Having listened to a couple of pieces played by the flutist, we ventured to leave.  However, Mr. exceptional extraordinaire, Caron, not only bade us farewell with another shanshine smile, he gave us beautiful calendars on the house!  Exceptional service from this Shanshine Smiler indeed!

Generous bright shanshine smiles, beautiful flutist, gorgeous calendars, I’m going back there next time not just to have an audio and visual feast, but to have a gastronomic delight!  I am psychosomatically convinced the food there is great already, thanks to Caron and his wonderful team at Gallery Hotel, 1 Nanson Road, Robertson Quay.

I salute you, Caron, Mr. exceptional extraordinaire!

What is Shan’s MOMENTs?

Due to several requests, I will oblige by restating the popular Shan’s MOMENTs’ acronym.  This is tracked back to Free Stories-Alive! series: MOMENTs in time (Most Touching Story!).

What does MOMENT mean to me?

M: Be the MASTER of your life.

O: Be OPEN to the full spectrum of emotions, thoughts and experiences you feel.

M: Make every MOMENT count.

E: ENJOY each emotion, thought and experience.

N: Just do it NOW!

T: TELL one person one reason for loving them each day.

I was sharing with Alex yesterday, money can be earned back, but time cannot be earned back.  Once the MOMENT in time is gone, it is gone.  Savour each MOMENT, Master your life, be Open, Enjoy, just do it NOW, Tell someone one reason you love them.

I am listening to Gregorian’s Once In A Lifetime, wind rustling in my hair, experiencing complete contentment and peace in MY MOMENT.  What are you doing in your MOMENT NOW?

My beloved friends,

Tonight’s story will transport you into the realm of the sombre reality. From my first story, Shan’s sharing! The three sillies!, we explored the developing of a positive mindset. In MOMENTs in time, we will delve deeper into what it means by a MOMENT.

What does a MOMENT mean to you? How may we treasure each and every MOMENT?

I will reveal my version of MOMENT, to share with your loved ones.

This is a very special speech in memory of a dear friend, Ailing, who passed away on 22 August 2008. Ailing was one of the happiest and sweetest women I have ever known. She will always live in our hearts and memories.

PS. My apologies for posting this a day late. Shan’s sharing! The three sillies! was resoundingly received! It could not have been done without my wonderful audience!

The moral of Shan’s sharing! The three sillies! is to take comfort that no matter what we do, there are always others who fare worse off than us. In short, let us look on the bright side of things and enjoy each and every of life’s passing moments!

The tentative schedule for Stories-Alive! is once every two months.
