It Starts With The Rain Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Wednesday, November 19, 2008

OK, I am about to pass judgement and a mindless to behold.  But, before I let my mind to have its mental diarrhoea, it would be good to reflect on this action.  "I know that" are extremely dangerous words and before I lose more opportunities in my life, let these quotes guide me towards forgiveness to make improvements to my happiness and peace of mind. On the foolishness of judging others The act of judgement is an act of pride. It involves looking to our own store of knowledge, putting together a few facts, figures or fancies, and...

Let's Have A Little Tour - Part Three Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Tuesday, November 18, 2008

It will be one month in two days' time.  We are settling down well.  The house is so much organized now.  Still, there are outstanding works - the acrylic and kitchen rails have not been fixed.  Chiauw still cannot get the acrylic right and, in her last statement, trying up on mockup. It is peaceful where we are today.  Reiki Sanctuary envelopes us with the solitary way of life.  A life that is essentially hidden with nothing to suggest an extrovert social identity.  It is, probably, a prophetic sign in its...

The Light Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Monday, November 17, 2008

Connectedness.  I feel a sense of awe at how a simple online connection can fruit into the sense of beingness.  How, with the wonderful event and processes that take place, the beauty of an individual left me with an uplifted feeling.  The shadows that you left behind lead me into thinking.  It enhances the flow of mysterious coincidences.  It mutes acceptance of life of why is all this happening to me.  I am inspired to begin the search for a higher spiritual meaning in life.Are you a chance occurrence? ...

The Foreign Talent Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Monday, November 17, 2008

Thanks to a friend, Ben, who was kind enough lugging this little gadget all the way from USA and made our lives kinda easier, now.  Haha, ok - we know it is bulky and not making you to travel in style but Thank You! Thank You!  We appreciate the kind gesture.  We are thankful for your time, your effort and all the running just to make sure you were getting us the right thing.  Plus, all the overseas call to ensure the correct purchase. Also, "Thank You" to another friend, Weng, who introduced us to this Foreign Talent. ...

Life Anew Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Wednesday, November 12, 2008

It has been a good three weeks, albeit all the labourious unpacking, sorting, tidying and arranging stuffs in Reiki Sanctuary.  Though there are still outstanding works, and we are still waiting for Chiauw to complete them, we are able to live here comfortably. Nonetheless, we decided not to focus on the outstanding works after we had done chasing Chiauw last week.  It was not convenient having workers around the house when we have already moved in.  It was hard doing our own stuffs when they were here.  Firstly, the inconvenience...

The Beauty Beast Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Wednesday, November 05, 2008

The Beast Number One When we ordered our dining set in August, the company told us that we had to wait three months.  Piang!  In order for them to secure our sales, they told us that we could get (their company's practice) a temporary set.  Since we would not be bringing our old Hertford dining set, we happily agreed. It was a blessing that we accepted the temporary set.  When it arrived, the original idea to place the dining table horizontally against the window just didn't work.  It cramped the dining area.  The...

Let's Have A Little Tour - Part Two Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Wednesday, November 05, 2008

Haha, I am beginning to feel a little (hmm, maybe too much) show-off with pictures of Reiki Sanctuary.  But never mind.  Guess, with such a lifetime investment and a bombed renovation cost, to own what had been put in needs a celebration.  It is also about paying gratitude to Chiauw and all the people who had put in their energies in giving us a home. So, let's continue the tour.  Our main entrance as we welcome guests: "Ah Huat!" Outstanding works: 01.  Gate guy needs to align the frame work 02. ...
