Never tired of setting up a Christmas tree.
Christmas always brings back very fond memories of family and friends. And I never forget Christ who makes it all possible.

Difference between a Successful Life and a Significant Life
What is the difference between a successful life and a significant life?
“The happiest people in the world are not the richest, best looking or most powerful; they are people who find value, meaning and purpose in selfless service and making a positive difference in the lives of others.”
-Michael Josephson
Success is knowing your purpose in life, growing to your maximum potential, sowing seeds that benefit others.
John Maxwell writes about 5 differences:-
Five Differences Between Success and Significance
1. Motives
With success, my motives may be selfish; with significance, my motives cannot be selfish.
2. Influence
With success, my influence is limited; with significance, my influence is unlimited.
3. Time
Success can last a lifetime; significance can last several lifetimes.
4. Focus
Success asks, “How can I add value to myself?” Significance asks, “How can I add value to others?”
5. Reward
If I pursue success, my joy is the result of my success; if I pursue significance, my joy is the result of others’ success.
Success is usually the steppingstone to significance. There has to be a certain amount of success in people’s lives before they are willing to take the step to significance, where they ask themselves, “What else is there in life beyond professional and monetary success?”

Health Awareness Symposium
YB Dr Lee Boon Chye launched the event on alcohol and smoking related health problems. He mentioned lung injury caused by vaping. A new term has been coined; EVALI - E-cigarette and Vaping Associated Lung Injury. Vitamin E acetate found in THC containing vape products has been identified as the possible culprit causing severe lung injury resulting in death.
Buntung Polyclinic has a good Quit Smoking service. Counseling and Nicotine Replacement Products are available for smokers, so is Champix which is an oral medication for smoking cessation. They also have an exhaled CO detection device to find out whether smokers are compliant with the anti-smoking cessation programme.
