Card Making with Marlene Again (Miri Life Part 17)

23.09.09 Wednesday Afternoon
Went to Marlene's house 'again' to return her tools and also to hand her the love station cards. Visiting Marlene's house used to be an annual family thingy during Chinese New Year. I remembered being excited to see the peacocks then ^^ Neways, for this holiday, I lose count of the times I visited her place. Haha.

Chun Sian came over too to make some cards. He wanted to make some thank you cards for his grandma who wanted to use them to thank the people who cared and prayed while his grand dad was sick. The thought is so sweet and so are the cards.
Then we goofed around a bit while taking group pictures. I tried to look like Chun Sian. What do you think? How many % alike? Haha.
Then we had our serious group photo. Hehehe.
I needed to make a wedding card for daddy. Thanks to Marlene, I got to make another nice card at her place. I really have fun playing with her stuff ^^ She says the cards I make using her tools got her style a bit. I think so too. My first monotone card! hahaha... I'm happy with this!

Scrapbooking Stores in Malaysia

Last updated 14th March 2014 I first did this research back in 2008.  I was very surprised and excited to find scrapbooking and craft shops blooming in Malaysia. I'm still grateful that we Malaysians are able to have have access to buy these supplies today.  I hope we will be able to get more and more brands into Malaysia.  ^^ I don't mind sharing these info as I believe "Sharing is Caring" and I would love to see more Malaysian crafters coming out with lovely production to enhance our local crafting market.  Also, I hope you all would pass on the information to other fellow beginners ^^ Anyways, this is a recent update I did of the shops I know/found.  Don't think its complete though.  Some are shops that I've personally found and visited while others are from research and some are recommended by friends or readers of my blog.  And from my very own personal experience, some of my personal favourite shops (in no particular order) are as below: Scr

Unknown Song without a Title

Wrote this song somewhere end of February 2014, during Charge Up! camp, where I joined a song composing workshop.  It was a sweet and thoughtful gift from Ruidi & Sandy.  I was in between barista jobs and was struggling financially.  While they joined the camp, not only they thought of inviting me, including me in the fun, they offered to pay for my fee.  One of the most memorable gifts I've received for no reason.   During the workshop, we were given this exercise where we were shown the picture of a pruned tree.  We brainstormed words relating the picture and we were asked to compose a song from there.  The song below is my take on it, with much help from my facilitators, Ernest and Ming Li, on the lyrics and also the music. To have met and known them have been such a privilege, an honor and one of my greatest inspiration.   It's been a while, and I don't know why I chose to journal this here today.  Just felt like giving my unknown untitled song a home here :)  I'

馨香女人十大信念

馨香女人是透过我一位好友姐妹A与我分享而接触到的。那时候的她经历婚姻上的风暴,师母刚巧找到这份资料陪她一起度过十个信念。她从中得到许多帮助,安慰和鼓励,就与我和另外一个好友姐妹B在我们的小组里分享。那时看的是复印的scan copy, 是一个很不起眼的资料。但是因姐妹A这朋友的份量和对她的判断能力有一定的信任,我就读了。一读就被吸引了,尤其是第一和第二信念,就说中我心里最大的空虚和恐惧。 后来,师母开小组,姐妹B参加了。我就说我好羡慕,如果能参加就好。她说现在都上网了,为什么不能呢?她帮我问了师母,还真的可以也!当时也刚好疫情的关系我在家工作,时间比较容易安排。所以即使我人在马来西亚,也可以配合到墨尔本的时间。就这样,开始了我在馨香女人的旅途。在师母带领的小组里,我大有学习,觉得整个做女人的价值观经过了一大场calibration, 调到上帝创造我们女人的原来标准和意念。当被调整了,心里有平安释放,也踏实多了。 和师母上完十个星期的小组后,我觉得这小册子非常值得分享,就凭信心买下了十本。当时就开始list下身边有那些姐妹可以祝福的。List里第一个是姐妹C。她是我在本地如家人的好姐妹。就在生日那天送了第一本给她,也offer陪她一起读十星期。而她的回应和热诚程度既然出乎我意料之外。她后来亲自约我,和我定时间安排等等。我们就这样一起度过的十个星期日的下午。我们的约会是,一个星期我家,一个星期她家。他丈夫弟兄X和孩子都会在,然后我们一起晚餐。在中途,发现有一位弟兄Y有感动想关怀,就也邀请一起来,主要是一起晚餐团契。我和姐妹C聊我们的馨香女人,弟兄们就自己聊他们的。我们读完馨香女人后,就想把这个关系变成一个小组,一起在属灵生活上一起学习鼓励,建立与成长。我们就开启了我们的小组,选了一本书一起读。又后来,在一次road trip中邀请了另一位弟兄Z参加,也邀请他参加我们的小组。我们的小组就如此成立了,名为 Iron Band, 来自As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. Proverbs 27:17 NLT 我们在小组里建立主里的关系,彼此守望,彼此扶持。生活上也彼此辅助鼓励。我向神求小组好多年,也试过用自己力量去凑合,但是都没有成功。而这个小组是在自己完全没有放精力的情况下, 上帝给的。这个小组让我体验到
