I had a break

We had a not so pleasant surprise on Sunday early morning (6.30am), when my mum and I received a call from my dad saying that my brother needed an immediate hernia surgery. So following that, we had stayed in the hospital for 2 days to company him. I know this doesn't sound logical that I managed to take a break while helping to take care of a patient. But I felt this way. Of course at first it was tiring when he needed more care. But when he settled down to rest this morning, I got my rest too which I wouldnt have got if I hadn't taken emergency leave. Hehehe.. While I had nothing to do in the hospital (well, what can you do right?), I had many quiet times to read the BIG book (which I find it hard to do during my normal rush-hour days), and sleep (even though not too comfortably on a chair...) I kinda thank God for the lousy internet too, so that I had no choice but to quiet down and slow down. So I guess HE knows what I need and its some good thing in disguise :P It was probably my bro's most torturing moments in his life so far and I'm glad to be part of it. Hehehe.

These few weeks have been pretty crazy for me (time wise). Been rushing thru almost everything and hardly rested. I have tonnes of other stuff, pending to be blogged (as much as happenings from 3 weeks ago :p). Will do it one by one when I have slots of free time ^^ Gonna get more rest now first. See ya!

p/s: to those who sms-ed, called, encouraged, and prayed for my bro, thanks a bunch! appreciate it :) *touched*

My brother, still looking cool, even in a wheel chair :p

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 belo...

The Power of Positive Thinking

WARNING: This is a Looooooong Post :P I'm reading a book titled "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale. Actually this is a book i bought on 20th July, 2002 and didn't finish it for some reasons that I don't remember. Then lately, out of the blue, I took it out to read it all over again, hopefully being able to finish it this time :P Neways, that's the history of the book and me. I'm at chapter 2 now and I came across a very unique practice of a man. It reads: It is possible, even in the midst of your daily work, to drive confident thoughts into consciousness. Let me tell you about one man who did so by the use of a unique method. One icy winter morning he called for me at a hotel in a Midwestern city to take me about thirty-five miles to another town to fill a lecture engagement. We got into his car and started off at a rather high rate of speed on the slippery road. He was going a little faster than I thought reasonable, and I reminded h...

Taiwan (Taipei) Trip 2013

We had a visit to Taipei September 2013, mainly to visit an old friend of my dad, Uncle Nam Boo and his wife.  It was a first time to Taiwan for all of us (mum, dad, sis and me).  Since Aunty Xiao Lan is a local, they KNOW where to bring us, for beautiful places and good food.  They even shared their home with us so we didn't have to worry about accomodation and drove us almost EVERYWHERE, so we didn't have to worry about transport.  Also they applied leave from work so they could bring us around.  We were really touched by their gestures and also we enjoyed spending time with them.  It was such an enjoyable and memorable trip that we all look forward to visit Taiwan again.     I compiled our travel pictures into 2 photobooks (as slides below) and plan to give them one set a thank you gift.  I designed the photobook using Photobook Malaysia  and the Snapshot ready template.  First thought of sharing as pictures, but the...
