Peace and Hope..

Opportunities to help others can sometimes be few and far between. But hubby and I have signed up for food deliveries to charity homes through Food From The Heart since 2002, and also Run For Hope since 2007.

This year, FFTH brings us to the PeaceHaven Nursing Home, run by the Salvation Army, where we bring much valued food items from The Sandwich Shop at Changi Business Park, for the staff there at the Nursing Home.


And as for Run For Hope, another 7000 runners showed up again this year to support a worthy cause : research for cancer cure. That's over $300,000 in the bag..well done, organisers!

Yes, let there be Peace and Hope..for all.

Foster-ing Friends..

Can there be anyone big enough to bring these big-timers to our doorsteps..biggies like Natalie Cole, Charice and yep, Peter Cetera?

It must be none other than David Foster, record-producer extraordinaire!

No one can bring these names all on one single stage..at the opening act of this year's Sun Festival at the Esplanade.

Seeing Natalie Cole on stage was a larger than life experience, especially when she brought her father, Nat King Cole, to 'live' on the same stage..very surreal. Charice blew eveyone's mind, with enough oomph in her for both Celine Dion and Whitney Houston songs..what an incredible talent indeed!

And the night was complete when Peter Cetera sang "If You Leave Me Now" and "Hard to Say I'm Sorry"..goodness, gracious! My body was tingling as he crooned these all-time favourites!
