Posted on 25 December 2009 by Sivin Kit

The classic four weeks in the season of Advent leading to Christmas has become for me a significant way for reflection. Of course, the word “reflection” might seem a little passive where one just sits back to observe and do some thinking, but for me it’s little paths to grow…

Reflection On The Fall of the World’s Best …

Posted on 16 December 2009 by Goh Keat Peng
