Dreams have a way of compressing time, emotion, and memory into something cinematic. Sometimes they feel like a blockbuster directed by Christopher Nolan — nonlinear, intense, and emotionally overwhelming. Recently, I had a dream that hit me this way, and I think it reveals something surprisingly deep about responsibility, change, and care. In this dream,Continue reading “When Dreams Stage Your Inner Chaos: A Robot, a Former Student, and Lunar New Year”

Valentine’s Day Isn’t Just About Roses
Every year when February 14th comes around, it feels like the world turns pink overnight. Heart-shaped candy. Flower deliveries. Couples posting soft, filtered photos with captions about “forever.” And if you’re not in a relationship, it can feel like you’re watching a party you weren’t invited to. But here’s something I’ve been thinking about lately:Continue reading “Valentine’s Day Isn’t Just About Roses”
A Dream from Mount Sinai: When Provision Turned
Last year, when I would describe my life as being in “Mount Sinai,” everything felt intense. Sinai is not the Promised Land. It’s the place of instruction. Refining. Structure. Sometimes isolation. It’s where you learn obedience in uncomfortable conditions. Where you don’t always feel settled — but you are being shaped. Around that same time,Continue reading “A Dream from Mount Sinai: When Provision Turned”
Dreaming of a Holiday After Working in the Promised Land
There’s something almost ironic about it. You finally step into your “Promised Land.” The place you prayed for. Worked toward. Waited on. You settle in. You build. You show up consistently. You give your energy to what’s been placed in your hands. And then one night, after weeks of working faithfully in that very place…Continue reading “Dreaming of a Holiday After Working in the Promised Land”
Exploring a New Country and Leaving the Old Behind
The other night, I dreamed I was exploring a new country for a holiday. Everything felt unfamiliar in the best way. New streets. New air. New conversations. I wasn’t rushing. I wasn’t searching for anything. I was simply there — present, curious, open. There was no weight from the past in that dream. No formerContinue reading “Exploring a New Country and Leaving the Old Behind”
Lounging, Dreaming, and Letting Go: Moving Toward the Promised Land
The other night, I had a dream. I was in full holiday mode — relaxed, unbothered, lounging like someone who had finally exhaled after a long season. The atmosphere felt light. Peaceful. Like I had arrived somewhere new. And then, unexpectedly, I started seeing people from my former place. Faces from an old season. ConversationsContinue reading “Lounging, Dreaming, and Letting Go: Moving Toward the Promised Land”
Starting February 2026 with a Fresh Desk and a Fresh Mind
There’s something about the start of a new month that makes you want to reset everything. Not in a dramatic, “new year, new me” kind of way. More like a quiet shift. A small decision that says, I’m ready to be a little more intentional. After finally settling in, I decided to mark the beginningContinue reading “Starting February 2026 with a Fresh Desk and a Fresh Mind”
One Year Ago in A&E — and How Different Life Feels Now
One year ago, I was sitting in A&E with a really angry-looking red eye, trying not to spiral. If you’ve ever been in A&E, you’ll know the feeling. The harsh lighting, the waiting, the way time stretches. You’re surrounded by people, but somehow you feel very alone. I remember feeling scared — not just aboutContinue reading “One Year Ago in A&E — and How Different Life Feels Now”

This April, I was given the distinct honour of walking alongside a new teacher — Ms Teo — on her professional journey in a lively commercial school setting.
