music to my ears.

i love how some singers can sing a song so beautifully
that literally makes you want to smile while listening

& some you can even tell that the singers are actually smiling when they're singing
but you can't even see them!
haha :D
you can just hear it in their voices
now that is incredible singing.

i just love sincere musics like that.
straight from the heart.

being a 5 year old.

kids are amazing
they're probably the best people to be around with
they don't show impatience when you're doing something slow
they don't get bored even though u're starting to feel bored
they never get tired of anything
and they show so much confidence :)

being around them makes me want to be a good teacher
makes me realize how much i want to be just like them.

sincere, never pretentious, gets satisfied with little things,
oh the list goes on..

i wanna love Daddy back just like a 5 year old loves clay dough,
just thinking about the things they made this afternoon brings happy thoughts
haha :)

kids are amazing
simply because.

believe la!

the same verse that appeared to me twice this week


"and without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6 "

blessed

at night
i always pray to Daddy,
but yesterday i tried to talk to Him differently than what i always do,
cut the routine crap & poured straight out from my heart.

i thanked Him for all that He had prepared
and when i did that
i felt my own self unbelieving that He could be that good to me
He loved me so
and i felt it strongly
i've always known that He loves me
but i was never sure of how much
and when i actually took the time to be still & count them
i was overflowing tears of gratitude
i never took the time to fully acknowledge
until now

loving me through the people around me
teaching me through the people in my life
showing me just how much He cares

for all the things He had given
especially my family
i'm blessed.

& you too are nothing less
:)

masquerades

there's something very mysteriously beautiful and elegant about masquerade masks

so attracting.

i wanna shoot portraits in them, please please pleaseeeee.

take part.

the product means so much more to me
when i took part in the process of making it happen :)

it's so beautiful to see fruits bearing, knowing that i was part of it,
even if it was just a tiny part,
i participated.

;)

is Daddy telling me something?

even if u own a dslr,
but u don't know how to use it.



it's such a big big biiiig waste lar.
:/

i think He's trying to tell me something
right? *looks up*

why keep what u know all to urself when u can share it? right right?
yeah!
my mission: help dslr owners be ignorant no more.
even if what i know are little & am still an immature photographer,
i won't let u waste a treasure & live!
muahahaha >=)

we will learn together.
as long as u ask, i promise..

personal preference !

I really really don't like it
when music comes up unexpectedly (& loud) when i'm browsing blogs
plus i have no idea where it comes from, giving me a mini heart attack.
no offense laaa :S

i do soooo want to add some melodies to my writing space
but what i fear is my readers feeling the same as what i experience.
so i sacrifice my own interest for yours
xD


until someone invents a playlist that doesn't have to buffer,
i'll leave u to ur silent reading pleasures :D

                                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                        you are loved.      
                                                                                                                               ♥  
                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                                               

when it's time..

do you?

:D

respond to someone else's blogpost:

yeahh, so goood indeed ! :D
& btw u left out tenor in ur list of voices when we were singing :P

and yes we should do it more often,
4 days of obstacle, oh how to survive???? 

Mr. Pachalbel should be proud.
xD

beautiful lyrics.

“   When you reach for the stars,
     don't forget who you are,
     and please don't turn around and grow up way too fast.. ”

my thought foods.

i think it's always easier to truly admire the beauty of something underrated,
than something overly blinded by its spotlight.

at least,
when u like it,
u can be sure u like it for what it truly is,
not because of its popularity.

over and over.

we did a lot of things over & over again today
"worthy.. worthy.. worth.. worthy.. eh again again"
xD

funny replays & also some meaningful ones 
:D


come, let's do this everytime. haha.

shut out the noise.

there's a certain kind of magnetic feel about acoustic guitars
that draws me.
maybe it's the crisps and clean sound when the strings are plucked and strummed
it's so beautiful.

something u can't find in piano.

:)

He said..

"Love, put down your pride and ego,
you won't be needing them.."

:)

You are more, always more.

You'll never know if you never try

true what.
how can u know you're incapable of doing something unless you felt the burden on your own shoulders.
felt the weight, and tasted your first try.
you is no psychic ok?
everyone's experience is different,
maybe the person who couldn't serve in this field,
that person does better in another.
there's nothing wrong with that.

and today i saw new things with my eyes,
new doors that my dear siblings in Christ dare to open
i'm so proud :D
even though it was a first try, it was a great first try.
even though u were nervous, you showed great courage to try.

and by that, i believe we're all happy for you :)
God has armed us de.
you and me, him and her, and everyone else,
we're made for something in His purpose.
we will never live as trash
when we're declared His children.

His children leh!
don't play play.
:D

never doubt when you can trust.

Daddy's timings are perfect.
even when prayers felt as though unanswered,
His presence seems far away,
He is still always nearby.
closer than you think.

sometimes He wants us to grow in the midst of making a certain decision,
He doesn't give direct answer of yes or no
but He takes you for a walk into another avenue,
unplanned by you.


you don't realize it then,
until the moment you finally figure out what He was doing,
and somewhere in between,
He had already given you an answer.


it's just that before that,
He wants u to pick up little things from your walk,
fresh experiences, something new for your eyes to see
& before u know it,
you had already learned a new thing or two
about yourself and your Daddy
:)


that's how He works.

He knows how :)

simple things.
deviatart could cheer me up so much,

i'd upload and share my artworks everyday if i had so many :D

thanks, Dad!

bubble thoughts.

sometimes we have thoughts and opinions like bubbles

fragile and unsure.

just going where the wind brings us

or vanishing with just a single touch of doubt

sometimes we are to hold our stand

and be firm

in His words

don't be bubbles.

training wheels.

i drive dangerous.
whyyyyyyy?

:(

a piece of heaven

today.

will be our very first time.

:D

Good weather, perfect temperature and amount of shade, and all the things we need.

Daddy, check? :)

off we gooooo!

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION.

surprised myself..

ahh! i still have the cny photos in kuantan that i completely forgotten to take care of.
what have i been doing ar...
this, cannot be accepted.
finish it by this week!

in my dreams.

we live in this world, but we're not of this world.

we come from Dad, and that's why of course we belong to Him.

but i do believe Daddy placed us here for reasons

we can still enjoy worldly pleasures

but just don't dwell in them

and definitely not making it our lifestyle.

our focus should always and forever be on God

He, Who makes life worth living

He still cheers me up all the time with the things i like

the little things, from music to food.

:D

last night i had the coolest dream meeting my favourite band

haha, it sounds silly but i woke up smiling.

i still remembered to thank Dad for that sweet dream when i woke up in the morning

it made my day today :D

show me.

today 
i just realized what He was doing
when i go online, usually i go to facebook then check my mail then read some blogs.
and many a times, i'll absent-mindedly type in a new address on my facebook window
even though i didn't intend to close my fb page
i'll go on to another website and continue doing what i do
until i want to go back to the fb window,
then only i realize i've already closed it.


i don't know why
but i guess He does :)
it was as if He was steering me away


maybe i'm spending too much time doing things that don't even benefit me a lot
moreover benefit other people.


okay Dad, i think i get it now.
;)

blather & sister.

one great thing about siblings
is that u can always try stuff on them
use them as guinea pigs xD

yesterday, i thought of games for mif
"jared jared, help me try this and see can work or not"
"mei, can u try eating this without ur hands pls"
"please lorrrr"

they always do it for me muahaha.
despite how silly it is.

being a big sister. :DD

God never said i have to do it alone
God said He'll be there for me
and He will be the One to strengthen me.


i know you know He'll be the one to strengthen you, too. 
:D






never serve out of duty,
but always serve out of love.


and you'll never run dry.


God bless you very very much for this new week ahead.
:)

being a couch carrot

i always enjoy an afternoon spent watching a good movie
lying down and being brought into another time and place by the story
*british accent* quite delightful i might say. :D

the movie Sherlock Holmes was on HBO today
and i couldn't resist :P
some really good reviews on the movie and after i watched it i give two thumbs up!
mystery, crime solving, dark comedy, and good graphics too. nyahahaha :D
my kind of package.
the movie's ending credit was aweeesome.
of course, so professionally & artsy-ly done.
good enough to keep my eyes still glued to the screen until the ENTIRE credits ended. wow O.O
and so awesome i wanna share it here too xD

i know i'm such a guy to like these kind of stuff xD

nah if u lazy to play the video just feast your eyes on these stills

*drools* i wanna learn thissss.

 i can smile while viewing these photos
that's 'cause they mean a lot to me
:) 

learn to love

"It takes seven days to make a week, and one to make it special." -Nat Geo.

"..If you understand, you know. If you know, you want to know more… And if you want to know more, you are alive." -Nat Geo.

and this is why i like their sense of humour :D -
"When u have done something for more than 100 years.. u get pretty good at it."


HAHA. referring to their documenting skills of the wild life.
but i don't disagree, because that statement fits pretty well :)

this's from my favourite show - Great Migrations


i love watching animal documentaries
the way they bred, learned, survived, migrated, and do it all over again.
and how God's miraculous works and plannings fit into that cycle
everything that was made
none is abandoned afterwards
trust Him to take care of each and every breathing beloved

:)

faith-ing

Sometimes u just gotta make do with what u have
When things seem not enough or insufficient
Trust in ur Father that He's gonna bring out the best in it
Even if things go wrong through ur eyes
I believe it's going exactly the right way through His eyes.
He says so.

Luke 18:27
For He said:" Things that are impossible with men is possible with God."

little things.

what i hope for tomorrow.

(:

i have warmth

you can't change who or how ur friends are,
but u can always choose who you want to befriend with, those who can bring out the best in you.

that's so true.
those who u can always count on
those who can accompany u in growing spiritually
those who leads u to learning
those who, through them, u walk closer to your heavenly Father.
:)

so anyway,
i just got back from malacca.
what a week i had there :)
lots of different kinds of fun and experiences,
not to mention different photographing experiences too :D
back at kuantan here,
two different sides of family,
but still united through the similarity of our faith
we're all blessed.

i'm sure wherever u spent ur cny, or whoever u spent it with,
it doesn't even need to be extra crowded or loud to have that 'cny mood'
just have the right intentions at heart,
and that special bond of family ties,
is enough to spark some cny fireworks :D

stay tuned!
more photos to come,
i pinky promise ;)

counting your blessings

My younger cousin, Dorcas asked me :
"Why do u like to take photos so much? Every small n normal thing also u take."
"Because when u grow up u'll have something to look back at, even little things ma."
"But every photo looks about the same."

-_________________-

Ok well maybe sometimes they do look a wee bit of likeness but but but..
I thought about explaining to her about continuous shots, but i just laughed. WHATEVER LAA! XD
Perhaps it really is my fault of using the same angle multiple times
Thanks for the honesty anyway *painful grin*

Reunion lunch / dinner
There's always more than enough food (literally!) at ah ma's house.
Thank you, Dad (:

Blessed cny eve guys!

wake up.

Life is not unfair,
it's only so because u see it that way.

your words can't put me down, enemy!
;)

la la la la la la.

sometimes things don't have to be perfect to be perfect,
ya know what i mean?

if u know then it means u agree too.
xD

flaws sometimes can turn into something much more compelling than flawlessness.
i like flaws!

raining sunshine!

yes, finally the rain had ceased.
after longer than 24 hours i think. :D
i can see the sun now!
hope that this coming cny will be a blessed one, no matter rain or shine.

now almost every piece of our family puzzle is finished, just 1 more to go
whose gonna be reaching later this afternoon :)
sun, please absorb as much moisture as u can so their journey would be smooth, thanks :3
