What I thought

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away

Rascal Flats- What Hurts The Most

Shoe freak, shucks!

I've counted the pairs of shoes, sandals, flats, heels, wedges and slippers that I own, and it's a total number of 18 of them (I hope I didn't miss out any one, some are left in my car), and I haven't added the ones that I'm sharing with my sister.

Oh dearie.
And I bought another 2 today to add them into my collection of shoesss.
And I'm thinking of getting a pair of red strappy heels or the wedges from my friend's boutique, caz... it is so friggin awesome!

I'm officially a shoe freak.
Contentment, would you please self-invite yourself into me?

*Faints @.@

Thinking of you

I miss my little fellas in Singapore

She can recognize words like CARROT and CAPSICUM at the age of 2.

Smart and bright little girl.

Road life

Life is kinda like driving.

The cars and traffic lights become our circumstances.

They either slow you down or some idiot drivers just pissed you off while you're driving.

Or you wanted to drive pass a green light but the tortoise car in front of you is taking his sweet time and the next thing you know, it turned yellow then red so quickly and you feel like strangling that bugger.

Or something like that.

These are the stuffs in life that keep us away from what we want to do or where we want to go. We can't go on our own ways simply because of we need to sometimes put up with others who are a pain in the neck or the obstacles around us halt our plans and hinder us from getting ahead.

My as well just tell the great One Almighty God in Heaven to help us. He can slow down or speed up the cars around us, and maybe even help us in our own driving manner, so that He is in control of the whole traffic flow on the road and that we'll get to our destination, our hopes and dreams on time. And we need not to go through the unnecessary angers of life when we ask Him to come take control of our lives.

Circumstances and men do not control our lives. If they are, surely we'll be living in a super messed up life. The one should be in control of our lives is God and He can, and He is good. That's why He is call God because He is good! We have our freedom to make that choice. I wanna choose the wiser one.

Just a thought as I was driving home this morning.

*Kuching photos and stories are still on the way :)

Coming up...

Stories and some pictures of my trip to the other side of Malaysia, coming soon...

:)

The Everyday Thing

Studying the behaviour of people and in the attempt of reading someone else's mind can be pretty interesting. But, there is also a tendency to judge them.

Hmm...

The best way to approach all of these is LOVE!

:)

I choose

I rather become a peacemaker than arguing with the other on who has got the more right ticks.

Suck it in, Daphne. And then move on with life.

Less is more

Sometimes, less is more.

Also, sometimes, by keeping quiet when I don't know what to say or how to react, really saved me from being embarrassed or becoming a foolish person or a laughing stock.

Inspiration, y u no come?

Writing a song is not that eezee!

Sitting down here right now with Christine, she singing, me typing.

We need inspiration.

"Inspiration, y u no come?"

Coz she just sang "I wanna touch your face..." to me.

-.-''

And she's holding my ukulele, simply strumming to a few notes.

I used to complete my songs, but now I don't.

We have ideas here and there, but we don't know how to develop them.

It's all over the place!

Gaaaaah, I wonder what to do now.

A good break

My first vocal class today! It's time to practice for some breathing and placement before the next class.

I thought of just grabbing two mini Red Velvets for me and Esther this afternoon. Ended up, we bought 5 new tank tops and 2 Maxi. Super like! And then I thought of Derrick when I saw some Cookies and Cream cupcakes. He enjoyed it though when we present the cupcake to him.

I plan to pamper him with food, but leaving the whatever park : bird park, butterfly park, animal park all to Esther :D

Shopped at Kitschen a few days ago.

It felt really good to take everything slowly.

I'm enjoying my break.

Steamboat with some friends tomorrow at my place.

I'll be flying off to Kuching for a holiday next week! Teehee :)

I call it a good break when there's food, when I get to buy stuffs for myself and others, spending time with my loved ones and doing anything that gotta do with music.

Next stuffs to shop : Shoes and sandals

:D

Team Meeting

The meet up was good. I really had a wonderful time with the team 2 (MYPG/LYPG).

We had so much to talk on our sleepover at Faith's house.

From sharing about our callings to relationships, from our favourite ice-cream to hobbies, colours and love languages, we got to know each other better. I appreciate the whole meet up because it's so much more easier to know a person in real more than through Skype.

The funniest part was that some did a quick research on FB, trying to scan and memorize the faces and match them with their names before the whole meet up. LOL.

We met some from team 3 too for dinner at Shogun, Solaris. We had a wonderful evening of stuffing our stomachs with plenty of food. I had 2 rounds and that was it! But I managed to go for desserts and fruits. Still, I'm considered as one of the lousiest. Hoohoo!

After the meal, we sat down there and got comfortable with the environment. The introverts don't mind the in-between silence, it's where we obtain our energy hehe, it became a joke among the team members. But we did talked to each other too and shared our own stories, what we're doing now etc. I guess the introverts weren't as introvert as I thought, we're all quite balanced. Nyeheh!

One point that I truly agree was that the "Introverts get really tired after a gathering" but the extroverts became even more energetic.

I guess that a good functioning team is made up of different personalities and characters and everyone has their own uniqueness and gifting. But we all have the same Someone to look to and live for- Jesus. Looking forward to more of our meet ups!

:)

The little things

As I drive along the road on the way home, passed my former high school this afternoon, I couldn't help it but to have some compassion for the students. Millions of thoughts rushed across my mind and I wonder what are their aims in life, passion, how are coping up with their studies, are they going thru' some emotional roller coaster right now or what?

And then upon reaching home, I saw my neighbour's maid walking hand-in-hand with Ryan- a good looking little fella :) It was after his kindergarden because he was wearing his super cute uniform. And I waved at both of them so hard that I almost couldn't turn my steering properly. Hehhee! I tell you... I had the best moment today and will always keep today's picture in the back of my head. Ryan had the most amazing beautiful smile, like he was so happy to see a familiar face passing by. His smile had given me a radiant hope and I felt my heart so enlighten by that kid's expression.

I wonder, whether will I be teaching one day? Touching, encouraging and inspiring lives one day too? I hope so, through my attitude, lifestyle and music. I get inspired and encouraged by these little little things of life.

:)

Looking back, He's always there!

I'm thinking... I'm thinking...

Processing some of my thoughts.

I really felt that I needed to thank Someone so special in my life.

Although when I messed things up, He's always there to pick things up for me.

When I began to fear the unknowns and circumstances, when I look to Him, He's always giving me that don't-panic peace of mind in me.

When all I could only see things short sightedly, when I thought that my analysis made some senses, He smiles, and I know that He is in control of the things that bothers me.

When I thought that I've disappointed Him, He whispers to me "I love you!" and I can't help it but to burst into tears because of the Great Love.

And I caught myself sometimes staring at a comfortable point, lost in thoughts.

But I try not to work too hard with my brains, I don't want to accumulate some white grayish hair by the age of 30.

Hehhee!

Made up my mind

I never should have compromised with that decision again.

Anymore.

That's it!

I hope that I can stand firm on my decision.

Foodie Friends

It was a spontaneous plan. I received a phone call this morning from Ryan via Winnie's handphone, "We are going to Premaa's tonight, dinner??"

So off I went for dinner with them. Main course dinner. But we decided to share. A very wise choice. Christine was with us too :D She helped me to park my car, again, and she accidentally locked my steering! But after the third attempt of inserting my keys, it unlocked by itself... Hmmh.

Then I decided to bring the trio down to Char Kuey Tiaw at Bandar Puteri. Ryan insisted that he.must.try.it! Or else, he'll go nuts. Ended up, we ordered extra Lam Mee. No regrets. Our stomachs were half full and we all agreed that we'll call for only ONE bowl of dessert later.

After that, we headed down to the dessert shop. Everyone got so happy and excited seeing the Menu. We ended up calling for FIVE types of desserts. @.@ What gluttons we were. And we'll be doing this again next week. Menu: Hokkien Mee, Mr. Chicken, Duck rice, Siew Yok Fun, DimSum etc.

We killed three restaurants in one evening, for one meal.

We talked, we ate, we shared, we laughed, we laughed at each other. We had a good evening.

Yup yup, Puchong is a food haven for everyone. If you know where to eat :D

Be the Mary

Rest is good.

It helps a lot for me to have a clear and focus mind.

What rest is for me is to soak myself in God's court.

Was pretty restless and my thoughts were so disorganized and random this week.

Probably it's because of time management, exams, stuffs and busy preparation for Tuesday.

The best part of this morning is that I had a Duet with the King!

And I was just being showered with loads of love and promises from Him.

Yes He holds my future, He will be my light.

I find my security under His shadow.

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Prov 91:1-2

Today's ODJ has become a confirmation and an encouragement to me.

Hope this encourages those who reads this, for those who have been so busy, tired and want to rise up from the circumstances of life.

I've binned my to-do list and be the Mary who sits at Jesus's feet. It was totally worth it! Never too late to do so.
