I watched a really touching story last night regarding a teenage girl of 16 who lives in Najpur, India. Joyti Amge suffers from a condition similar to a Dwarf syndrome. She was born weighing only 3 pounds and now at the age of 16 she is only a mere 9 pounds and is 23 inches tall.



What touched me the most about the story is that Joyti is such a happy girl. She smiles and laughs alot. She has a positive attitude towards life. She mentions that at the age of 3 she knew that she was… Continue

At times we wonder, what is the purpose of our lives?
Why are we all here? What should our life achieve?
Why few people are referred as 'Great'?
Who told them their purpose of Life?

Then we try to search the purpose of our existence.
And in some time, we give up. We tell ourselves, "I'm here just to Live!"

No human is ever born with an objective.
One needs to define the purpose of his life.

At first I was terrified and as much as I… Continue

I have been listening to alot of Whitney Houston lately, mainly because I feel like I wanted to sing on top of my lungs and Whitney Houston songs are quite fun to sing along to don't you think? haha



I came across the song "Greatest Love of All" and I am sure all of you must have heard of it. It is a classic. When I was young I used to sing it on Karaoke (yes, we asians love our karaoke!) Before you get any ideas, no I can't sing to save my life but it feels good to burst out in song… Continue

A few days ago I met up with Margaret, a fellow alopecian who lives in the same area as me. I am originally from Brunei, a small country on Borneo Island, South-East Asia. For those of you who don't know where that is, well it is near Singapore and Malaysia :) I have been diagnosed with Alopecia Universallis since I was 9 months old. My parents took me to see numerous specialists over the years but nothing could be done. However I did start to grow hair at the age of 4, patchy ones at first,… Continue
