As I mentioned <a href="”>earlier, have been working with some people on the redesign of a website recently. In fact, this is a not-for-profit volunteer group in Singapore. Just doing my part for community service, I guess!? The site is almost ready for prime time and it’s called Donorweb, which provides information on blood donation drives, as well as relevant educational materials – some directly from the Singapore Red Cross. As usual, previous incarnations of Donorweb can be seen by using the Wayback Machine.

Of all the material objects in this world, we are truly masters of one thing: ourselves. Before we ask the world to change to accommodate us, need we not ask the same of ourselves first?
First keep the peace within yourself, and then you can also bring peace to others.
Thomas A. Kempis
Very appropriate for the theme of this site.
It is rewarding to find someone you like, but it is essential to like yourself. It is quickening to recognize that someone is a good and decent human being, but it is indispensable to view yourself as acceptable. It is a delight to discover people who are worthy of respect and admiration and love, but it is vital to believe yourself deserving of these things.
For you cannot live in someone else. You cannot find yourself in someone else. You cannot be given a life by someone else. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never leave or lose.
Have been reading The Rule of Four (by the way, do take the time to follow this link and try out the game!) lately. This is another book which is quite addictive, that, once started, I found it most difficult to put down. In fact, hard to believe this is the first by the two close friends – according the bio, the authors have been friends since they were 8.
A friend sent me this. It’s fairly religion-neutral and not affiliated with any faith in particular. Sometimes, it is necessary to ask ourselves some tough questions, just to shake ourselves out of the comfort zone. After all, if you don’t care enough about the present state of the world in the first place, the questions hold no meaning.
