Happy Midsummer Festival!

Longest day is over!

The longest day has just past, and starting today... day is getting shorter. Nonetheless, today is the mid-summer Friday in Finland, one that's closest to the soltice. Well, time flies so quickly... this is our 6th mid-summer celebration in Finland. The first one, I had 'sleepless' night in Singapore where I chatted with hubby till morning on this very long 'day' :)  We have guests coming in the evening, so now... preparation time!

Pormakku homicide

This is the 8th family homicide in a year's period. This kind of news is getting sickening... Apparently, there were 8 family homicides over the last one year! How can parents murdering their own child like killing an animal!? In my opinion, when we choose to be a parent, we must be responsible for our action. We brought the child to this world, we are responsible to love them, give them the best we could, and do our best to protect them, groom them. Even when we are distress, sad or frustrated... we should not mix our life up with theirs. They are little angels from heaven, they deserve a good environment to grow into a good person for the society. I hope all couples reconsider their actions. IF they are not ready for kids, don't have them. It is best for themselves, and also their 'to-be children'. That's just my thinking... in a simplified manner. There are many other complex issues to consider, but I will keep this post simple for now. May the little angels in Pormakku rest in peace and may their mother has the necessary strength to live through this bad ordour.

Summer Soltice - Longest Day of the Year!

Time flies... when I started my study, the days were short, and we were in perpectual darkness... without knowingly, time whizz by so swiftly, and now we are on the longest day of the year again. Tomorrow onwards, days will be shorter by seconds, and soon we will be in winter soltice again. I never felt time flown past so quickly while living in Asia. However, here, I could really see how time flies... the seasons and changes in the nature are so visible, you could not stop thinking... I am running against time, I must do what I need to ensure I do not leave with regrets when I perish...

Anyway, we wish him a healthy life still ahead... with many more birthdays to come. Happy Birthday, Dad!

Another good course

Just returned from another good course. Intensive and tiring, but I have learned so much new stuff again. However, it was also a little confusing for me. I start to feel that a practitioner is really like an Alien, in the academic world. The language, discourse, practices are so different. Wonder how theories from academia can be understood by practitioners, and vice versa!? A puzzle I am eager to solve :D

A short video of the good time....
