My New Year Resolutions

A little too late for new year resolutions? I don't think so~! ^^ After moving back to Miri, I've been quite lost. And I realized I needed motivation to get myself back on my feet. And to get motivations, I need goals to look forward to. And if I were to set any goal, let it be a spiritual one and I believe the rest will follow :) To be honest, I've never been that hardworking on spiritual sides and I've always been slacking. But with HIS grace, I guess it's not too late to realize its importance and not too late to start. Praying that I will have the perseverance to finish it.

Goal 1: Finish reading the bible in a year. Start: 15th April 2010. ETD: 14th April 2011.

Goal 2: Reread 40 days purpose driven life - seriously. I find many inspiring quotes and verses during my last read but was too lazy to do anything about it and forget them all already. This time, I'm gonna make an effort to remember them and live them out :D Thank God I got my beloved kaki's in christ to company me on my 40 days journey this time. Marlene and Jason - Gambateh~! ^^

Since my brains has limited memory space, I thought of doing something to make myself remember better. I bought a small notebook to jot down the scriptures, quotes and points that I want to remember. I carry this in my handbag. So whenever I'm waiting for someone outside, or walking down the street to work, I could take this out and glance through a short phrase and try to memorize it. As for the mug picture, this shows a tea I usually drink during my devotional time and a mug I always use. ^^

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'
