what a feeling.

2009-11-25T21:29:00.003+08:00

It just felt a little different than what I've expected it to be. My respond to that situation. Strange feeling yet calm. Maybe that's an aspect abt releasing something that you don't really know what the end is going to be like. Or maybe it's not so much abt the end at all, rather it was all about the process.

something random

2009-08-03T22:35:00.003+08:00

I love ribbons.
anything to do with ribbons draws my attention.
From my shoes, to my tops, to my dresses..i soon discovered that i've got my wardrobe filled with stuff that has RIBBONS on it.

yeap, as crazy as I may seemed to be, i decided to read about this pretty, elegant invention. http://www.madehow.com/Volume-3/Ribbon.html

what i love at night time is

2009-07-20T22:36:00.004+08:00

that prelude of silence that stills my soul.

rainbows

2009-06-30T20:23:00.004+08:00

I managed to captured this on my handphone at my workplace just last week. The picture of the rainbow was perfect, the finest I've ever come across in my life. It was just...perfect. I stood there with amazement.

"I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which [is] between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that [is] upon the earth. " (Genesis 9:13-16, KJV)

what's on today?

2009-06-09T23:18:00.003+08:00

Just today;

I decided to write a letter to my dad. And my aunt.
Faded orange/red roses at my bedside was a good investment. They made me smile.
My indoor plants have just got their nutrients today.
I'm keeping a look out for CanonG10.
My students are getting ready for their concert at the end of June. Fingers cross.
I'm so so proud to be an aunt to Morrison and Oliver.
There are some memories I can't seemed to erase. It does hurt at times.

2009-06-08T19:10:00.004+08:00

The past long weekend nonetheless has been therapeutic. It actually felt really good. Away from the demands, routines, 'to do list'. Dinner at my neighbours' house, guitar hero with old skoolmates, day spent at my uncle's place. Bestest was my time spent with Morrison as we came up with this batteries+crayon game.
And it really all comes down to the choices we make in life. The only way to create spaces in our life is to understand that some things have to go.

And i've got heaps to learn about that.

I can't believe how i managed to survived the past 12 hours straight at work with only 20 minutes of breaktime!
20 kids in the past 12 hours, 1 1/2 hours of drive, 2 munchies, Haydn&Mozart in between classes with 6 1/2 hours of sleep last night.
....grace.

& thank you for that gentle reminder that God gives us new mercies every morning.

2009-04-26T21:05:00.004+08:00

Today, I've been reminded about why I do what I do as a spiritual leader. And in that journey of learning and discovering, God remains faithful in every season. Times when it just didn't make any sense, that's exactly where God is.

easter weekend

2009-04-13T14:57:00.008+08:00

The milano family went on a easter weekend at mornington peninsula.
From the walkie talkie car conversations to the sensational head chef BBQ stephie, it was a good getaway. The easter getaway was a reminder of God's grace, abundance, provision..with extra bonus - great company of friends. :P

you, she and me,

I Just Want You - Planetshakers

More than a nice melody,
More than the sweetest of word's,
This is love i have found,
and with this love i am found

I just want You Jesus,
I just want You my Lord,
I just want You Jesus,
I just want You

Never could i comprehend,
The love you so freely give,
Never could i be with you,
But Your love covers all of my sin

There is no greater love than Yours,
Nothing else could ever compare,
And even if i search all the world
I will never find a love like Yours

"Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
but one thing is needful; and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her." luke 10:41

silly nights

2009-03-18T22:34:00.002+08:00

there are some nights I would think abt the SILLIEST things you can ever imagined...but it's good to know that there will be some friends just at the corner who's willing to hear all my downloads. :)

and just perhaps, i need to learn to 'just' be me instead of getting so caught up with the doings.

2009-03-07T23:15:00.003+08:00

feeling excited to just leave everything behind for 2 days, pack my bags and get ready for the bus ride. :) here we come, apollo bay!

On the other hand, it was amazing to see their faces lit up in class when they gave me the opportunity to teach and introduce them to a couple of new songs. I am also learning to let go when it's necessary, be silly and enjoy every moment that I've been given.

And to the milano family, I'm so so so glad that you guys are all back in mebbie! It's good to see those familiar faces once again, back to our hangouts, silly jokes, car rides, random stuffs!

lastly, A BIG SHOUT out 'happy birthday' to a good old friend in perth- hui shan.
It's been awesome growing up with you, sharing and learning in every possible way we could. You've been such a gift in my life, can't ask for more. Thank you for loving me just the way that I am, thru the good and the bad, thank you for teaching me about the meaning of beauty from within. You're extremely precious! love ya heaps ;)

thanks for having me at 2am.

i held this grey bunny today and it reminded me so much of lindsy, my grey lil bunny. *sigh, i do miss her.

2009-02-07T12:18:00.005+08:00

It feels good to be back at work again, to sink into the familiarity and the unknown. This term round, i've got a number of new preps and grade ones! :) Intriguing, highly intellectual, extremely imaginative. Upon returning back to work, there were a few people that i've missed; my ex colleagues who've made me felt such at home in the studio and who've made our rooms a place of unplugged live sessions while waiting for the next student to arrive. Next in line, I do miss my grade six kids.
I miss: him saying hello to me
the school captain girl
doing duets with the boy whose voice blew me away
starwars

It's good getting back to the keys, strings and sounds again. strangely, I felt as if I belonged.

All i want to do
is to sit by your side once again
and listen as you whisper hello
i'm tired doing it on my own
and I know you must have seen it too
All i want to do
is to wake up next to your sunlight
and hear you say
how much I meant to you.

After spending the past few weeks browsing through colour palettes, decoration ideas, flowers for a friend's wedding...I've literally found myself being obsessed with these two colours ; teal and silver. . While working on Jason Mrazs' song for a wedding with this karaoke thingy on youtube, this is what my cousin bro and I came across at.

enjoy this cool animated video clip by JCB while i get back to my practise..;P

more of my fav video clips for the month. I love the idea where you can pick up the guitar at anytime, anywhere and just hit it on the spot.

mum and dad

2009-01-05T14:05:00.003+08:00

Mum and dad has been an amazing example of love. Their love for each other and the people around them. My mom and grandmother used to tell me that they've not met anyone else who has got such a big heart like my dad. Hanging out with my parents have always been surprisingly fun. It's like watching a live romantic comedy in action. There are days where I would ask myself, "How did my parents cope with it? After 32 years of marriage, raised up 2 utterly stubborn kids, dad working in Indonesia ever since I was 15 - the long distance relationship. And yet, they're still deeply, madly in love with one another. Dad just seemed to hit the bulls eye by keeping the courtship process going down the marriage track. Hollywood's been trying to tell us stories of what love is about but the real deal takes its place right before our own eyes. Goooooo..mum and dad!

Been such a crazy ride..from the public transport guitar runs to the school travels with joel the black, from semibreves to the sounds of canon in D, from the long conversations abt why 'you' have to practise your pieces to the sad goodbyes of happy smiley faces. It has been an experience beyond what I've expected.

for joy comes in the morning

2008-11-18T21:38:00.006+08:00

Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning. psalms 30:5

Joy is such an important thing in our lives. Ethan has been such a sweet reminder to me about joy. It takes off every pressure of you trying to be perfect, uplifts the heart and soul. We can sometimes trade our joy in with our dissapointments in life, bitterness, unforgiveness, abandonment, unmet desires, hopes and dreams. The changes that take place in the condition of our hearts can be so subtle at times. We might not even realize that we're giving our hearts away to other stuff than to God Himself. As girls, we're more prone to give our hearts away to stuff/earthly treasures..eg: our work, relationships, passion, the boy next door, our past. Our hearts have been told that it is the wellspring of life. It reveals the mystery of God, who He is, who we are and the purpose of our lives. Joy is more than just a feeling. It embraces truth and the very life that God has designed for his children.

"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. hebrews 12: 1-3

Joy.

extremely priceless

2008-11-02T22:24:00.002+08:00

I read some of my old school stuff today. Emails that were sent to me by friends whom i've not seen for ages. Some emails were like 5 years ago, some..8 years ago! talking about being sentimental and being a keeper of letters, I think some emails actually made more sense than before. I used to just read them briefly without taking the time to actually understand what the writer has to say. Upon reading them today, there's a sense of appreaciation and a reminder of how precious those people are.

*extremely priceless moments, through the good and the bad.

thanks.

2008-10-27T21:17:00.001+08:00

Daisy, give yourself away
Look up at the rain
The beautiful display
Of power and surrender
Giving us today
And she gives herself away

Rain, another rainy day
Comes up from the ocean
Give herself away
She comes down easy
On rich and debt the same
And she gives herself away

Let it go
Daisy, Let it go
Open up your fist
This fallen world
Doesn't hold your interest
It doesn't hold your soul
Daisy, let it go

Release, pull

2008-09-23T11:13:00.004+08:00

Heaps have been happening the past few months. Strangely, whenever i'm ready to post them down on my blog, i couldn't put them down into words. Felt like i've been paralysed in one way or another.
I have recently given a new analogy to my teaching method/workplace.

How to Fly a Kite

Flying a kite is great fun on a windy day. It's also very relaxing watching the kite flutter. The following directions will teach you how to fly a kite with a friend.
[edit] Steps

1. Hold on tightly
Find a buddy to help you get the kite into the air.
2. You should hold the ball of string and have your buddy hold the kite or vice versa. The kite should be facing you and the wind.
3. Unwind about 30 yards of string.
4. Signal to your buddy to release the kite. You should pull on the string to launch your kite into the air.
5. Pay attention to the wind direction, here is a diagram:
* Suppose that "I" is you and "U" is the other person holding the kite
* Wind is blowing this direction: I ------------------------------------> U
* "I" stands one end (with the string) ------> "U" stands other end ( with the kite)
6. Make sure the wind is going in a straight line from you to the other person.
7. To allow the kite to go higher, release lengths of string.
8. To lower the kite, simply pull in the string.

On a sidenote, I can't wait for GC, lying on the beach with a book, crazy company of church mates and roller coaster rides!

tiny moments matter

2008-06-30T22:28:00.003+08:00

It's been heaps to write about lately! It's strange when things kick in, everything falls in at the same time!

Brooke Fraser's CD has been playing at the fronk desk of my work place!! I handed the CD over to my colleague for him to listen. I truly believe that wherever God has placed you at, He has got you there for a reason. There's heaps of opportunities to be a blessing and be that light God wants you to be.

The one thing that I'm learning about my job is that we've gotta really learn to embrace every single moment at where we are. There are times when we only have got that small amount of time to do something about it. Love when it's hard, work as if it's the last day of work.

Being a teacher is tough work. I held back my tears today. Goodbye, Marco P.

what a weekend!

2008-06-29T22:52:00.003+08:00

It's been such a long time ever since I've got my weekends OFF to chill out. Friday night coffee catch ups with livia was terrific, our mini Docklands trip + fishandchips + additional 4 callamaris was rather exciting, quest hunt for a guitar at allan's music , and dinner with my upcoming neighbours just around the corner!!! (which i'm looking forward for more dinner knockouts and television nights on the sofa! )

it's awesome to have good friends living so close to you!
welcome to the neighbourhood.

some things will never change

2008-06-27T22:09:00.004+08:00

It's different without him.
I don't need any reason..It's JUST different.
Not being able to walk with him across the room and have our conversation in between..kinda miss that a lil. *sigh

expectations

2008-06-25T21:10:00.007+08:00

I sometimes wished that parents would take some time to listen, take notice and learn more about their kids. It's sad when they placed their own expectations on them, wanting their kids to be this and that..if only they could see how potential their kids really are in other areas.
I sometimes wondered if any of those conversations that I've been having with my students really made any sense. I do struggle in finding the right words to say. It's hard to make them understand the whole point of it if all they could see is this tiny little world.

Maybe i've not been a parent myself, and perhaps if I do happen to be one day, i might have those expectations on them. But I pray that God will give me the wisdom to train and develop those gifts and treasures that He has given my kids.

*Proverbs 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

*seriously, i think some parents do need a wake-up call.

skoool konsert

2008-06-14T18:28:00.002+08:00

My first ever skool konsert.
The experience was nerve wrecking. Having to watch my kids playing at the concert was rather interesting though. One sentence, you cannot define someone's performance in that 2 hour slot. Being able to sit through those lessons, watched their progress, all the hard work and sweat...they were all close to perfection.

Being a teacher who is proud of her/his students' achievements doesn't take place in an event. It should have already started in that 30 minutes lesson..

I Stood up with A smile.

during the week.

Morrison's (my cousin's nephew) showed me
his new kung fu moves.

i had a yummy chocolate cake with Connor at church.

jypsie said she really enjoyed her lesson.

james' eyes sparkled when I handed him the piano score I have written for him.

Am I still the one that you love with all your heart

Don't you know
that I'm captivated by you.

i took the tram today...
one word, alive.

It's a lil like how you walk into a museum and all of a sudden, everything becomes alive.
boy, how i missed it. I mean it's amazing to just hop in and drive your own car. Driving when the sun is setting...Ah...it's stunning! The dim colours across the sky, the smooth curvy roads, GMB on the CD player. A good way to just chill out and enjoy the breeze.

BUT...
it's so interesting to just sit back on the tram and observe the people around you...

It was just an ordinary day, 4 years ago..but something changed my heart on that particular night, on that tram...

It took me back to square one.
love. people.

recollection

2008-04-21T11:40:00.002+08:00

others had a smile on its own.

dear TC

2008-04-15T23:43:00.004+08:00

It's amazing to hear when someone misses you genuinely..and that perhaps, you did manage to leave something good behind. I thank God for that short conversation I had with his mom today. It felt as though it was neatly planned, just what I needed to accept it and let things go.

it was worthwhile afterall.

*I will still miss 6 year old TC, his collection of toy truck stickers and our funny, over the rainbow tiny little conversations together. :(

what makes it special?

2008-04-13T23:55:00.002+08:00

when you've got this lil boy sitting comfortably on your lap, with a HUGE smile on his face...
when you've got a friend who would sit down on the couch with you and teach you about what really matters at 1 am in the morning
when someone decided to prepare breakfast and accompany you in the car while waiting for the others to arrive (thanks su san!! )
when you've got an email from a long lost friend who remembered the words you once spoke about...
when a bunch of friends decided to drop by a friend's place to care and pray about the situation.

i revisited my purple diary today.

having 4 friends in the car for my driving practice run (approximately 2 straight hours of repeated parallel parking, driving into wrong lanes, tram lanes phobia, roundabouts, STOP signs, window checks, car honks) has made 'sunday Courage' out of me. haha..

the gap

2008-02-04T21:57:00.000+08:00

we're most likely separated by 'a hello' and 'a smile'.

almost.

2008-02-01T10:45:00.000+08:00

it feels surreal, almost like a dream.
it's a lil bit like those movie scenes you watch on tv..
with this suburban crumpler bag girl sitting next to the window seat on the train, listening to her ipod while writing her random thoughts down+observing the people sitting around her.
and when it's time to hop off the train to the destination that she has been called to,
she starts running (hoping not to miss out on the importance of that special, purposeful assigned day)
Upon returning home after a long day, she often find a moment to pause..timely enough to enjoy and catch a glimpse of a beautiful sunset and a conversation with a stranger.

it's 1.09am

2008-01-28T21:50:00.000+08:00

it's 1.09am, i'm stucked reading my driver kit (part one) in preparation for my driving test on thursday. thanking God for the pictures and figures in the manual..cause the words and descriptions in it are driving me nuts. having butterflies in my tummy at the same time wondering how's it going to be like later at my new job. My very first day..

*dear God, I need you.

2008-01-16T20:10:00.000+08:00

In a few more hours, i'll be on my way back to melbourne. Boy, it has been an awesome one month break. It was an unplanned journey home, yet it had so much to offer. The gigs were terrific, the eating adventures were fabulous, catching ups over the coffee tables were simply amazing, the girls were beautiful&sweet, my new home - super comfy...but on top of it all, God had my miracle in the palm of his hand for the year ahead.

To the girl who has become like a sister from another mother to me: Gonna miss your great smiles le, our grandmother stories, and the part where you just simply know the right words to say!
To the boy of the girl who cracks me up each single time with some old skool jokes, thank you for calling me when no one else remembered!
To my respectful miss j.meyer: that chat night under the moonlight was remarkarble. thank you for being so real!
To the boy who've always got good acoustic stuff playing in his car all year round and some fine tunes on his own, thank you for being so detailed!

A big hug and shout outs of thank YOUS to the friends who've always made my homecoming a pleasant, suprising one! you'll prob be receiving my smses tonight/tmw early morning!~ lol

:)

bring me back

2008-01-11T22:56:00.000+08:00

please get me to the basics
coz it's been a long run
I can't quite remember
how many pages i've done
found myself always finding
reasons to back away
finding myself
in what others say

i've tried to stay alive
guarded within my imperfections
waked in the same spot
cicles spinning all
over my head
found myself always finding
reasons to back away
finding myself
in what others say

bring me back
where grace is enough
keep me still
when everything else
is falling apart

*you know how sometimes,you couldn't really figure out what they meant. you either wake up in the same spot,or not able to catch a sleep at all. it's those nights where your heart awakens you to reality, awakens you to hear yourself a little bit more, to hear him a little better.

old skool

2008-01-09T00:30:00.000+08:00

i don't think we'll ever grow up.
perhaps, that's the beauty of our friendship.
you, me, him, she..
that's a perfect circle.

2008-01-05T22:59:00.000+08:00

Good ones of course! and i'll go home feeling...satisfied. uhhmmm..loving it~

with new beginnings and sad goodbyes.

p/s: i got to learn how to see it better because of You.

hello,
twenty zero eight!

Falling in love with You

2007-12-10T22:02:00.000+08:00

I open up my eyes and I wonder
I wonder why
Why you love me just as I am
Why you gave your life for me
I know I couldn't live without you
I know I couldn't breath
I know you'll never let me go
That is why
Falling in love with you
Falling in love with you
Falling in love with you
again.

on a sat night

2007-11-08T12:36:00.000+08:00

twirl twisters &
jedi recollection
on a sat night
my oh my, and I thought of you all of a sudden
...and realized that I can't wait to be back for our girlie chat sessions in the car,
movie marathons in lil seremban, spur you on for our evening jogs with 'maggie', delicious treats in between, reunion with the taman bukit kaya girls klan, christmas bells, satay at my place(fingers cross)...
:)

my own lil conversation

2007-10-25T21:19:00.000+08:00

Rides.
I would pack up my bag,
with my greenie crumpie, guitar, postcards.
compile a travel journal,
write stuff on the bus,
photography with collages,black&white,
run alongside with the kids,
spin till we fall flat on the ground
just in time to catch the sunset,
listen to the stories of the people.
and where words are limited,
us..being worlds apart,
love speaks in a new language.

*i wished I was brave enough.

christmas treat

I believe that conversations can be divine, at such an appointed time.
my emo friend - Thanks for taking the time to love.

Didn't really have a clue why I'm still up at 1.27 am when I've got loads of stuff on my plate tomorrow...
Together with my headphones on, lil macky on my lap..watching as the sky unfolds mysteriously underneath the moonlight...

three words.
i'm reminded that it doesn't need to be complicated.

i love You. Romans 8: 39
nothing, abosolutely nothing can separate us.

"But the fact is, it was our pains he carried-
our disfigurements all the things wrong with us.
We thought he brought it on himself,
that God was punishing him for his own failures
But it was our sins that did that to him
that ripped and tore and crushed him- our sins
He took the punishment, and that made us whole
Through his bruises we get healed.
The Message- Isaiah 53: 4-5

2007-09-11T20:22:00.000+08:00

seriously....
i need one for tomorrow.

a letter to a dear friend

2007-08-27T21:05:00.000+08:00

To my dearest friend,
There are some things in life that we will never understand. Facing the facts and the reality of stuff can sometimes be overwhelming. I've been there too, many times. Waking up the next morning seemed dreadful, sleeping at night with countless thoughts that you wished it wasn't real, comforted by friends saying that it's all going to be 'ok'. The fact: it hurts, the word 'ok' doesn't seemed to make any sense at all...the truth is:
'God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.' As I learn to stand alongside with you, I pray that may God's comfort and strength uphold, embrace you through this season. And I want you to know that you're precious to us, to me.

love,
hueiweun

random me..

2007-08-20T22:51:00.000+08:00

On my way to the gym today, I had cendol at the back of my mind..
and remembered how GOOD that packet of cendol drink my friend had bought for me when I was up in kl last feb.
malaysia, oh malaysia..cendol, roti canai, ice kacang, milo ice, telur bistik....
aiyoo....i miss home!

-confession of a food lover-

goodbye, lindsy

2007-08-14T20:47:00.000+08:00

A teary goodbye to my fluffy grey bunny, Lindsy.
Not too sure why you left us, why God took you away...*sigh

Gonna miss holding you while I do my silly dances at night,
gonna miss singing my wacky tunes on the guitar to you.
gonna miss your company when the night gets a lil too quiet
in winter, spring, autumn, summer...

what's ur dance?

40 days - Back To Basics

2007-08-06T12:01:00.000+08:00

June hit the 24th candle and July, a lil topsy turvy mixed with humble cherry pie.
August...getting ready for inks and soap journals with d.e.vo.tions.

B.T.B with the Word.
Just what I need.

goodbyes over hellos

2007-07-30T07:05:00.000+08:00

It's strange but I do realize that the older I become, the harder I find it to let go of stuff and people. Saying goodbyes felt like a hundred times worst than before.
In short, my emotional level increases with the age.
As I let down my defenses, I'm learning that to release, is to also put my trust in God. Sometimes, it makes no sense at all..but it is at the altar where hope is being restored, longing filled, desires met, dreams awaken, love abound, saviour found.

'I have never walked on water.
Felt the waves beneath my feet but
At your word Lord i'll receive Your faith to walk on oceans deep.
And I remember how You found me.
In that very same place
All my failing surely would have drowned me.
But You made a way.'

-saviour king, hillsongs-

2007-07-26T15:39:00.000+08:00

I give up!!
my poor mobile has to tolerate with the silent killer for the past couple of days.

Just because........

the outback

2007-07-15T22:29:00.000+08:00

6 days of the outback experience, 4 long bus rides, 2 sleeping bags, my tent mate who wore a beanie, 2 socks, gloves and her cool teddy bear jacket while sleeping, the countless stars and the breath taking views at the rock climb...leaves me with this:
'you don't have to try hard to make things happen. Best moments come in the least amount of effort being done. You just to listen and walk alongside with it.'
There are times where I have to just leave my camera in my pocket and be in that moment to embrace it. It felt a lil like this while I stood at Kings Canyon:

Was it just another mere feeling or something echoed from the past? But that familiar sound, yes that connection. I felt it. I heard it. But still, I couldn't quite comprehend. It was far too good to be true. I tried to close my eye, my mind but it kept haunting me. The only way to know is to release all that you know, all that you are. Romance called forth the minute I opened my eyes. From the valleys to the mountains, from the rays of the sun to the strength of an eagle's wing. It felt as though that moment was made just for me. *pause* Wait, it was Our moment together.

So long as we imagine it is we who have to look for God, we must often lose heart. But it is the other way about - He is looking for us. - Simon Tugwell -

breakie

2007-06-15T12:31:00.000+08:00

ah, it's FREEZZZZZing cold out there...
makes me wanna just sit in the office, enjoy my nice home-cooked curry lunch meal.
*satisfied*
In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out my weekend agenda - 'a huge canvas to be painted, KIDSAlive ( as the girls and I will try to sing in tune out of these catchy lyrics found in Abigail's Bible ), my grocery shopping list (a list that saves me from over spending during this winter season), thinking whether my savings would enable me for Central Australia???!!& I've got 2 more weeks to decide..arghhh

think, think, think......

back to work! lol

prayers with giggles

2007-06-10T23:49:00.000+08:00

Have you ever prayed for someone where at the back of your mind, it goes something like this, "GEe..that doesn't seem to make any sense"

I went around asking these three 5 year old girls what would they like me to pray for.
And Daniell got my attention (smacked on the face):
Me: Do you have any prayer request?
Daniell : I would want to save up some money.
Me: And what's it for?
Daniell : I'm hoping that I could save up some to buy a horse.
Me: *moments of silence*
: OOOohhhh!

I did prayed for her.
I think somewhere in between those moments of silence, faith increased.
And in between those giggles while praying, joy increased too!

oh, what a prayer! :)

doorstep

2007-06-07T22:51:00.001+08:00

We,
must have left it
at the doorstep.
Come what may be,
that we will one day
stand and see
it anew
on one warm summer breeze.

Melby Sat

2007-05-12T21:53:00.000+08:00

morning bus rides with hellos and goodbyes,
sunshines and music across the street,
cuppa coffee and cripsy chicken roll sushi in between,
eight grade 2 boys with their soccer news over bible discussion,
conversations with gentle reminders of grace,
and my travel mate that leaps together in harmony.

ilovemelbysaturday!

Boost of the day

2007-05-08T08:20:00.000+08:00

It has been long ever since I've gotten any early morning emails/smses that knocks me out of seat and gets me pumping..

Boost of today:
Huei Weun, do not allow the size of the mountain to mess with your head
....why because you are a mountain mover...Go girl!!

'Thanks, Pastor Michael..!'

It's time

2007-04-25T01:19:00.000+08:00

Upon today's return from Kevin's solo gig back to my red chair, larva lamp session under the moonlight stars,
i think it's t.i.m.e to pick up my guitar and kick start for some new chords and perhaps, just perhaps..some running notes too. And hopefully, when that's being accomplished, music would not have to sound the same again.
Yes, it's time for some change. :)

She, remembered.

2007-04-23T15:13:00.000+08:00

it feels good when someone actually remembered..
even the slightest effort,
over random sketches, pictures and a note
in a purple diary.

a simple, yet profound moment
that echoes a point of difference.

because..
she remembered.

...n that's all it takes to ring a bell in my head.

the aquarium

2007-04-13T10:59:00.000+08:00

The amazing thing about kids is the way they teach you about stuff that you have long forgotten, stuff that you've missed in between catching up with the long 'to do list' 24/7.
They teach you about the things that matter,
they teach you to become You.

From gulping down green slimmy slurpees to repeated indoor
motion 3D rides, Leah & Saul ( my ex-boss kids ) have taught
me to experience the aquarium in another language,
another tune,
another world .... where stingray smiles. :)
