It is interesting how writing down one’s thoughts can clarify one’s thinking.
My brother-in-law Mr. Damian Yoong used to quote Francis Bacon "Reading makes a full man; Conference, a ready man; and Writing an exact man." Upon reflection, Irene always pens down her thoughts whenever she needs to occasionally share in church. However, even when she is not called upon to share, she is observed to write down what catch her fancy when she reads her daily papers. That is a probably what helps to acquire the above attributes.

She gains knowledge daily which makes reflects "Reading makes a full man.." She keeps a stack of recipe for her cooking and refers to them whenever she runs out of ideas on what to cook. She may not know everything about food, but she knows where to look for the answers.

Irene likes to exchange ideas and knowledge with others. She listens and learns from them. “Conference, a ready man”.

She is a lady of details. However in my opinion she does not write enough. Nevertheless, she shows potential to be complete as in "Writing, and exact man...".

No 16 attribute of a great lady, wife and mum:  Reads daily, Conference when asked to; write occasionally.

Cheers.
Hope to see you soon.
