To a friend - I have been thinking about you a lot after what we shared yesterday. I just have to write this. And it is written with lots of prayers for your well being. For your realization. You become what you think about and I just want you to live a happy life.
It was, indeed, a beautiful Saturday night. Thank You, my friend. Thank You for coming to meet us. Thank You for sharing. Thank You for allowing ourselves to be just us. Thank You.
We knew it was not easy for you to hear us. ...

We went through great lengths to achieve for a comfortable decision of our bathrooms. We regard them an important integral of Reiki Sanctuary. It is in these rooms that will remind us of the importance of a good shower. A place for water blessings.
It is said that water helps to inspire us to re-pattern our thoughts and habits to transform our life experience. It includes financial challenges, health issues and spiritual expansion. There are scientific researches on this claim. There was also a movie, 'What...

Year: 2008As we look around us, the month of August, year 2008, we seem to notice the collective consciousness of light is being focussed to our mothers. How we start to reflect on their love. How it will impact us. The lesson it carries. The experiences that emerge with a golden flame of ascended love. The unfolding of our life plan. The arising of consciousness of divine gift, through their love, and the evolution of our mind towards oneness.August 2008 is a month of Fifth dimension - the formation of...

Amongst the many things Chiauw and us have in common is the omission of skirting all throughout Reiki Sanctuary. The event of the 'missing tiles' - blogged in "In Appreciation", indeed, served us with a highest purpose.
It was a subtle incident, a gradual process, of realizing the blissful essence of everything in and around us. Should we have kept the old floor tiles in the living and dining areas, we would not be able to achieve consistency. And, as such, there would be conflicting harmony. The previous owner...

Quick Update
The Correction Works, highlighted in these previous entries - Renovation - Week 05B and Why Are Our Hearts So Heavy ... have been rectified.
The tiler had done a good job. On inspection today, the rough edges from the previous portruding tiles are now smoothened and flushed well with the adjacent boxed-up wall. It looks and feels much better now.

Going through house renovation can be an emotional uphill task.
Especially, when we want the house to be perfect. Especially, when we want it to be more than just a liveable place. Especially, when we want it to add zest and colourful ambient. Especially, when we want an ultimate home dawned with full of comfort. And, particularly, when the renovation cost overruns as high as 50 percent and at the strained end of your budget.
Renovation woes are common. Sometimes, we do wonder what can be possibly go wrong. ...
We attended a wedding dinner yesterday. Somewhere, in the middle of dinner, we had someone cited a beautiful message dedicated to the wedded couple. It touched me. It made a profound attachment to the mind. And soul. It uplifted my spirits.
My thoughts were immediately drifted to Reiki Sanctuary. How much she has grown in my heart. In my thought. In my emotion. How much we long to be, just to be close to her.
The beautiful message:
Love is patient. Love is kind. It does...

We didn't go down to inspect Reiki Sanctuary's renovation progress for the whole of this week. Nevertheless, Chiauw updates us daily. We can only embrace her in our heart - so near yet so far. As much as we want to see, and check, we trust that Chiauw is taking charge. She knows best and she will, definitely, make sure that we get what we have asked for.
From a distance ... we can only visualize the progress. We can only hope of hopes. We can only love of loves. From a distance, we need to learn to have...

Just like Viktor Frankl's best selling book, "Man's Search For Meaning" [do read it!], we spent hours searching for the perfect lights for Reiki Sanctuary.
Hopped from one shop to another; from Jalan Sultan to Geylang to Balestier, it was the longest shopping for just one common item in a day last Monday. We spent a good seven hours and not counting the other two days previously, on a separate occasion.
And, all that we wanted was to find a suitable few to compliment the look, the feel and the right aesthetics of lights...

It is how good things are always saved for the last. It is the toil of hard work that brings a satisfaction. It is the seeding that gives rise to propagation. It is the end that brings a new beginning.
And when we get what we want, when we are brought to the height of achievements, when we are being endorsed with success and triumphant .. do we dismiss them as an entitlement? Do we pat our shoulder and fooled ourselves that they are an undermined benefits? Do we not fill it with gratitude? Do we not recognize it...

Harmony. Consistency. Flow.
These are the themes that Chiauw presented, to us, for the blending colour of our joinery works.
Colours of Wood Works
From the time we stand outside the house looking at the main door and to the welcome feeling of the parquet teakwood at the entrance, Reiki Sanctuary is about engaging the mind and soul. It is about fusion of love. It should emanate an aura of conscious energy. It is about mapping a higher level of consciousness and a start to experience...

Early August 15th, 2008. Time was about 4 a.m.
We were awaken by thud sounds of electrical explosion outside the house. Initially, we thought it was some kind of 'TV crime scene with police shooting robbers'. We dismissed it. We wanted to continue the good night sleep. And the thud sounds continued. It was getting louder. Dogs started to bark. We heard more noise. This time, we had to dragged ourselves out of the bed.
Our friend, and also a neighbour, was knocking at our door. She was...

The purpose of walls, in all houses, is about keeping the inhabitants safe and to control who enters. Walls are security structure, an interactive demarcation between rooms and an entity to accommodate for a working system. They limit a boundary and protect the space within.
Walls keep us safe. They give us a sense of belonging. They provide us with personal space and freedom. We just need them. Within the four walls, a true home is built. It should be our own mini-world, our own Mother Earth. It...

Energy is all about awareness. It is about inward thinking. It is a philosophy and science.
The primary reason we decided to go ahead re-tiling the living and dining areas is about giving a new orientation to bring about more harmony and tranquility to Reiki Sanctuary. Sacred spaces, by extension of everything that exists around us, create a living energy and content soul. These elements, from which the Universe was created, vibrate the positive and negative forces that are in everyone's lives.
In creating your own sacred...

We have always wanted to have a proper dining room. Where we are now, at Hertford, there is no proper demarcation between our living and dining areas. A proper dining room provides a proper place for family meals. A place that brings the family to enjoy, and giving gratitude, of the shared meals. Of the value. Of the creation of a lifelong memories.
A family meal is the ideal time to bond and communicate with each other. It provides conversation opportunities to bond, plan, connect and learn. It's a...

Imagine tons of baggage in your soul and you are trying to stay positive. That, with every breath, you pray harder for better things. That, with all the concerted efforts, you can barely stay afloat yet you need to survive. That, with all the smile and the laughter, you know something is just not going your way. That, every road leads to a feeling of emptiness. That, with all your friends around you and you still feel lonely. That, the nights and days seem longer.
Guess, it will not be easy to be totally happy...

The only place that seems to progress rather well is the kitchen. The black floor tiles have been laid, the plinths for the kitchen cabinets are done and the wall section where tiles are supposed to be erected is completed too.
Here in the kitchen, we are not going to tile the whole kitchen wall. The walls will be painted instead. We prefer it that way. Though we received feedbacks that the walls should be tiled, we feel it will have an unconventional modern look without them. Granted that cleaning, and especially...
