SHERA'S BORDER

by Joshua Harris Another review of a book I just read and would like to recommend. Again, the title was the thing that attracted me and got me to buy it. Don't get the title wrong, its not about never dating again. So what's it about, you may ask. Read it yourself! Hahaha I had just gotten out of a relationship when I bumped into this book. The guy was the first in a series of my bf's (yea, I sound like play girl hor? :P) who I had a picture of getting married to one day. But feelings and illusive imaginary "images" like these had no trouble fooling me. After that I learnt my lesson that despite being a sentimental and emotional person, I should not to trust my feelings completely. So after I read the preview, I thought: yea, I think I need help in this. 'Why am I always failing in relationships?, I wonder. 'I'm always take relationships seriously but why it'll never work out for me?' Before I first dated, I thought I would be a 'good' ...

Went back home last weekend for my mum's birthday as a little surprise :) Made her these set of art frames, even though my house is seriously out of wall space to hang anything :P One of it is a mother's day gift, which is not due in another 2 weeks but I decide to give it together anyway. Look nicer together ^^ The last picture was taken exactly on my mum's birthday when the clock strikes twelve. I have more pictures of my visit this year. Hope I have time to blog them all. Busy week this week. Rushing cards for Wonderful Market at Time Squares this Sunday :) I'm very excited about that ^^ By the way, I got the poems from here .

We had a farewell party for an accounting colleague of mine, Evelyn, last week. Being the PIC, I bought a gift (mickey mp3 which I know is something she'll like), made a card and ordered some Domino's pizza to munch. Just some pictures to share below :) I love the layout from Sheetload April 09 Issue so I decided to make the card using it.

Mamabliss blog hopped to my blog last week and invited me to join her blog candy give away ^^. More candies luck trying out. Hahaha. Very cute pouch :) Click here for more details.

I found out about some yummy candies from Ying . Wow, this sure is hard to resist, even though I'm normally not lucky :P This candy is from Debbie , who's giving away to celebrate her one year blogoversary. Click here for more details.

by Michael Gates Gill On my way back home yesterday morning, I picked up this book from the airport bookstore as probably "smthing interesting to read" in the plane. Being a coffee lover and Starbucks fan myself (even though its considered a 'luxury' for me), the title and the book cover caught my attention the very first minute I saw it. After reading the review, I got more interested. I normally don't spend on books like this where I'll wait until book fairs to spend, but I bought this anyway :) I'm half way reading this now, and I'm loving it already. This is a true story about a white American old man who had it all, lose it all, and gain it all back. It talks about how his life changed when he started to work in starbucks, with totally different circles of people, at a totally different environment, of a totally different "class" in society. He came to a state in life where he never would have imagined he would ever be at. And yet, here...

Found another blog candy by Papier Love . :P Papier Love is a local store located at the Curve, Damansara. I will drop by once in a while and get some goodies there. Oh, I got my square scallop punch there :P Pretty cool huh? And so this is their April blog candy. I'm trying my luck again. :) Click here for more details. Ok, gonna do some crafting now. Will post my new projects soon. Stay tuned :P

I came across Bev 's blog through Vivienne. She's giving out some yummy goodies for her blogoversary. Hehehe. So I'm joining in the fun (pok yi pok), even though I think chances of winning is low (1150 participants already, imagine that!)... Anyways, its really kind of her. Check it out and hurry up if you are interested. Due date's tomorrow :P

Thank you Marlene for this award! This is an important assurance for me. I have struggled my whole life to have a good testimony in my daily life, and to be the 'salt and light'. I tend to be dragged away by the patterns of world which I'm not so proud of. Also, I've always felt I'm no good in sharing the gospel and bringing people to christ, mainly because I'm not good in talking and also I don't how to go about bringing in the topic. But then when I started blogging, I find it natural to share my thoughts about Christ here, even though sometimes I wonder it has any impact on the readers :P. Anyways, I hope blogging can be a link to between me and the world to share about christ and get people to know about HIM. God, I'm willing, I'm willing, please use me and my blog. (sounds like a wierd thing to ask, because when I imagine God, I never would imagine him as a God who's into computer stuff, let alone to say blogging :P) Ok, enough blabbering, ...

Last week was a week of goodies for me ^^ I got the lovely brads from Marlene . Wa... so excited. Dat night, I put them beside my bed and admire them to sleep. Hahaha (ok, crazy I know..) The next day I got another pleasant surprise... postcard from Beijing!!...... from... Marlene again. Hahaha... Yayaya, you'll see this name often in my blog. Sometimes I don't even feel necessary to do linking already cuz its becoming so common :p Marlene, i'll keep this 'evidence' properly de ^^ My first postcard from China... wa.... And along with the postcard, I received my award from the Show Us Your Sheetload March 09 . Can you imagine it, me receiving parcel at work, wondering what it is.. no mood to work.. Hahaha. Apart from the award of micl papers, ribbons and embellishments, Alicia was soo kind and sweet to throw in an idea book from Close to my Heart . WOW...... !! Thank you soo much :) Its a pity I don't have enough time for crafting.... so much ideas but so littl...

I'm the 关怀 (caring) in the committee for our church's Youth Fellowship and I hope to promote the "love one another" environment in the fellowship. So I made these little note cards (with words "Someone is praying for you") and plan to play the angel game tonight. Tonight's game will be slightly different. First of all, this is going to last for a month. I made a little form for them to list down their prayer item and each of them will randomly draw each other's names. Whomever you draw, you will have to care for this person for a month. To start with, they can give the note card I've prepared and pray for this person in their daily lives. If they have the initiative to take further steps, I've prepared a post box for them to throw in little gifts or notes through out the month. I've thought of another challenge for them, that is to find out something bout this person that everybody don't know. How to reveal that, I'll blog again n...

I promised to post more photos of the finished gundam with fine edges lines drawn. So here we are - my first completed gundam :) Not a very good first job, but with the photo quality like these, I don't think you can tell :P Hahaha. I'm not gonna 'promote' gundam this time, just some pictures to share. Oh, and my baby gundam met jay chou on my table :P Hope they are getting along well. Hehehehe.

Yep.... Part 7.... PART SEVEN BABEH!!!!...... Ok, this post is a little late, but I still want to post this. This is a very very very very extremely wonderful gift from my mum - my very first GIANT punch... a square scallop punch! Woohoo!!... I was so excited when I got this. Wa....... When I came out of the shop, I felt like a kid again. Its like mummy has bought a great big expensive toy for me that I've beg for but didnt expect to get. This is the same feeling as I was ten or so. I'm gonna play with this soon. Square scallops on the way!! Watch out people!! Hehehe. Last but not least, thanks ah mi.... Hugz.
