Simple

Night Thoughts

有時候 你深深体会到

乖巧已經不是现今的标准

还须在更严厉的标准下 

不容一丝疏忽

但更清楚的是 上帝看见你的顺服 

祂赐更多的恩典 是别人所看不见的

不需要活在别人的标准

靠上帝的眼光看就好了

By Joyce

Pop in here for a quick post on the last day of November. This weekend was great, time always goes by fast during the weekend especially you enjoyed spending plenty of time with your loved one.

So it's coming to the last month of the year, I have so much to thank for what God has prepared for me in 2014,  some decisions made, changes and encounters, or unexpected encounter, these are all I will remember from 2014. Everyone you meet and encounter, they are part of the learning experiences we call life. Sometimes you meet unreasonable people with unreasonable expectations, friends with good humour; straightforward hasty person; or caring, love and concern from your loved ones, these are all part of memorable experiences.

Take time every day, throughout the day, to thank life for all that it has given you, thank others for what they give you, to simply be grateful.

Recently I learnt that having a positive outlook on life is a must if you are to become a luckier person.

=)

Thx God

Days of having tense in your scalp muscles and that when you know you can be more productive and happier at your workplace, now you realised God is the only one who hears everything about you.

Whenever I was daydreaming or at the end of an exhausted working day, I can't stop being thankful and reminding myself to always thank God for what he has prepared and what I have been telling God that letting Him to orchestrate my life. I always believe God favors simple believe and faithful pray.

Thank God for always listen to me and knowing what is best for me.

Just got back from dinner with former colleagues, laughing my lungs out on a nice Friday after-work dinner. There's a saying that "laughter is the best medicine" which laughter elicits positive mood and the best way to relieve stress. Nowadays we hear a lot the phrase "work-life balance", to me is all about setting your personal priorities, identifying your important personal goals, values, passion and personal lives; and as you move through different stages of life, reevaluating priorities to achieve balance, improving your health, happiness and life as a whole. :)

A glimpse of joy

There will always be ups and downs, twists and turns in our lives. But we have to find the strength to keep motivated and always remember we have God’s peace available to us at all times and His presence in our lives and the peace that comes from Him.

When your mind is constantly stayed on God and His Word, You will remain constantly in a peaceful state of mind  ; you lean on Him and hope confidently in Him. Remaining peaceful, just like staying in faith, is trusting God is with us and is working out all our situations. God knows infinitely more about us more than we will ever know. :)

God has perfect timing for everything,

Learn to wait on Him.

Psalm 27:14 


God does not promise us smooth sailing in life, but He does promise His presence.

Pop in here today as there is a need for me to thank God for His provision and plan in 2014 and thank God who given me the strength to trust in His plan.

Even things have not really settled down perhaps I will update about it in my upcoming post. 

I remember earlier in this year I did a draft post planning to write about my New Year's resolutions. However I realised I don’t usually set New Year's resolutions besides continuously putting efforts and time in things I have been doing or seeking improvements; I have my small plans but continuously seeking God’s guidance to lead me the way. I have been seeing things going quite differently since earlier this year; for example, attending a different church now and having someone to appear in my life which I believe God makes everything beautiful in his time which amazed me in the way that God orchestrates things with his plan and purpose. 

Thank you God. =)

What's your passion?

PASSION. That get you willing to invest your time and effort and doing it with all your heart. Year ago I applied my design course days after the application deadline and time flies that I have just completed two semesters in a total of six modules. 

PASSION. The reason you wake up in the morning knowing what to do and to continue doing, and just the thought of it can keep you up late with excitement.

Not really it must be your job or full-time passion, it just creates excitement and self-worth, or might be the passion you have had since childhood. 

I used to draw a lot when my mum fed me as I was a little child, grabbing colour pencils, drawing, scribbling and writing as if I was a little artist. 

And LOVE, is the PASSION that we feel inside of our hearts that we can't hide. 

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.

 -Antoine de Saint-Exupery-

If I can see pain in your eyes then share with me your tears. If I can see joy in your eyes then share with me your smile.

Words of sincere felt in heart and trigger smile.

Joy.

Lace.Embroidery

I absolutely adore this summer's trend so my my obsessions are currently lace and embroidery items, it is suitable to wear during the hot weather and usually I will pick up style that works for both casual and formal look.

God has made everything beautiful in His time.

One of the pages I made for my magazine assignment. =)

It's December =)

So here's the post of the month and now I am free from stress and anxiety of completing my weekly and individual assignments, because I have already completed the course! I feel that time really flies so fast that the course has ended and now I do not need to stay up late at night (very late) for all the drawings, paintings and finding new ideas or in presenting the draft design.  Oh but in less than a month's time I am continuing for the next term, I expect the course to be less stressful as there's going to be just one class per week unlike the one I have just completed.

Here's the  gift given to me for one of the contests we took part, I won that particular contest so I got this PAIR of salt and pepper bottle in the look of two killers. The box that came with the bottles was made by a student. Then here's the closer look of the bottles.

Creative huh? =) 

HK's Haul

It's November! I have just returned from my five days trip to Hong Kong last week...had a wonderful vacation with my girls so here's what I bought from the drugstore chains we have visited. Some purchased at the airport:)

Do not judge

Stereotypes are not always true.

Don't be surprised that people tend to make assumptions, effortlessly putting labels on each other, judging another person or group of people without really knowing them, assuming the created label fits with the personality or type of the person that is being labeled.

I have seen lots of people making assumptions by just looking at a person, putting a label to describe the person base on his/her actions, appearance or behaviour. I can see that it is actually a bad habit proving one's lack of critical thinking skill, assuming something is true than finding the facts. Sometimes I wonder if this will ever stop, will people stop judging others with their eyes and ears. Seeing only a narrow view or down grade other people to feel better about themselves, most of the time I have seen that those assumptions were only make them feel good of being 'right'...I have met people who really made harsh judgement, I think this had really allowed me to know the true personality of the person that the others' might not have seen before. 

Most people fail to realise that stereotypes do not conclude about a person. In fact, when you accept and trying to understand others, you will feel good or peaceful of letting go of clinging to the way we want people to be.

Because labels are like covering a person's real identity.

Don’t judge.Observe.Explore.Watch your judging mind.

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."- Mother Teresa =)

Sep@ Penang

Signing in and out a couple of times from my company webmail due to unstable internet connection here, so I come here to write little things since I've time. Received the news of my grandpa's passing yesterday morning when I was working, did some quick arrangement onto my work, church and course stuff, we took the night flight back to Penang. The weather here is in a mixture of scorching hot and very heavy rains, there are still lots of relatives and friends attending grandpa's wake.

You will be missed, grandpa. May you rest in peace and may God always take care of you.
