Category — Words of wisdom

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.

I invite you to the second of my Stories-Alive! series in Singapore. Details as follows:

• Title: Moments in time
• Venue: Braddell Heights Advanced Toastmasters, Braddell Heights Community Club, Singapore
• Date: 25 August 2008
• Time: 7-10pm

I look forward to seeing you there!

With love,
Pei Shan

We are like crystals. We need a light to shine upon us to bring out the sparkles within us - Yip Pei Shan

This sparklet of wisdom was inspired by the sunlight shining on the beautiful crystals hanging on my table light. Crystals are beautiful, and their beauty is enhanced when a light is focussed on them. A light transforms the crystal from a clear silence into a myriad of rainbow colours! Furthermore, these colours extend beyond the parameters of the crystal, lighting up everything they touch.

Like crystals, we need a light to shine upon us. [Read more →]

“Make a Difference“!  Indeed!

I had the pleasure of being inspired by Anne, Ed and others, and most importantly, the friends that I made during this convention!
