Day 6: Kick Your Feet Up

Ice cream, long walks by the beach, endless cold breezes, laid back conversations, spontaneous destinations. 

Yup, it was an awesome day.

Day 5: Butterfly Sparkles

The weather today was not half as warm as the color tone in this photo. 

Yet there's always beauty in the unending downpour. 

Like these beautiful raindrops for instance. 

Woooo :)

Day 4: Mysteries

There's nothing quite like the feeling of staying in when the day is lightly drizzling 

outside your desk-side window. 

It was such a cloudy grey weather today, as mysterious as the storyline of this book. 

Mysteries and the pursuit of solving them are my cup of tea. 

Just like what my cup says, "Oh boy!"

Day 3: Going Up

Spending more time with my sister lately and this is one of the things we 'almost' always do.

Challenges. Good for da soul!

Day 2: Fading Lights

It's been a while since I took a good look at the sunset instead of just rushing by at this golden hour. I realize that even the prettiest thing on earth will fade away eventually. Leaving behind the everlasting Creator of all things beautiful. 

Still their beauty reminds us of God's beauty everyday :) 

"As certain as the Sun appears, You'll come."

Day 1: Cup of Warmth

A week from now, I'll be off again. Back to the independent life of a university student. So I'm savoring every moment at home while I can ;)

Mum's homemade "tang shui" are always the best. Things like these may not be the first thing I think of to be grateful for. But there're really a portrayal of a mother's quiet love.

Thanks ma!

I'm currently doing a 30 day photo marathon with a very good friend of mine, Hui Ching :D It's just a simple project and effort of ours to each document our next 30 days in photo. And today is day one of my journey in finding beauty in the mundane everyday life. May there be many more to come!

Feel free to follow me on flickr to, well, basically view the same thing just on a different platform :p Click here to go.

Let the marathon begin!

Warm me up

These two days I've had the wonderful honor of being guests of two very awesome cooks.
I'm really full (not just with the food) with thankfulness now. Bahaha

Though yesterday was one of the most mentally and physically challenging day in a long time
the reward was great at the end of the day.
thank God so much for His sufficient loving grace.

Rainy seasons. Rainy days.
They make me rather moody too with all these dark clouds.
Come soon, sunshine days.

The more you close yourself in, the colder your heart gets.
The less capable you are to love.
Feeling a little cold-hearted lately.
Lord let it not start to frost.
I need the sunshiny days to warm it up.
I know for too sure, that, the people around me are so real.
Created to be as tangible as can be.
There are impacts in every word I say and everything I do.
I can't close my eyes and pretend people are not there.
The more I go out into the crowd and open myself up, the more I'll get tried and hurt.
But in another light, I will also get surprised and touched by how we're all perfectly human.
Capable of healing and loving and growing.
We seek to bring out the best in people because the Lord of lords gave the best for us.
We strive to lead people to the right way because we know where it goes.
We want to love and to be loved even more, because there is simply no greater thing in this world than His love.
and we, me especially, cannot and will not want to do all that if God is not the reason.
So it's okay, put yourself out there because not for a second will it be for nothing.
Seasons will change. Rainy days come and go.
Don't lose hope.
