Sighs

It's rainy today, and the sunrise today is not very grand, more subtle and gentle as it rained earlier in the morning. Yep, a good day to sleep in, but no, I have to wake up early for college. Seems like life fells into a sort of routine, and a very stressful one too, and sometimes too I wonder, whether this is all there is to life, or more is to come. More of what? That, I guess, I have yet to find out.

For now, I am busy, rushing after one due date to the next, and yes, how I long for the day when all this is over, I can finally sit down and relax, and look back and say, yes, I've been there, and I've done that :)

Have a great weekend ahead! :)

Today

Today is a new day. A day to start things anew. Forget the resentments of yesterday. Forget about the frustrations yesterday. Forget about the mistakes yesterday. Today is a whole new day to make new mistakes, to experience new things, to learn new lessons. Today is the day we're living now at present. Forget about tomorrow. Forget about yesterday. Today is the day.

Sneak Peak

DIY ombre jeans. All you need is some hangers, pegs, bucket, water, bleach. More about it in the coming post! Sorry for the long absence was busy with every week having presentation, assisgnments and discussions. There no tests now, and just think, next will be every week of all that plus tests! Oh help!

Have a great week ahead! :)

Lately {12}

Been a while since I've done a lately post. Lately I've been pretty busy. This week is Physics week and can't say it's not a challenge. Besides attending lectures, we have to stay back for extra time to practise scanning. Am still learning the technique and image optimization. Hopefully by the end of this week or next I'll be able to scan beautifully :)

From clockwise:
- Scanned by my coursemate
- Bit of caffeine to keep me awake in class in the afternoon!
- Inspiring bible quotes from rubber eraser
- Can you spot a kidney? no?

That'd about be how my week has been so far. Can't wait for weekend! xx :)

ps: Linking up with Laurie :)

Winds In The East

Seasons changed. People changed. Have I changed? Maybe. I've read through all my past posts in this blog and I've found out that it is mostly about the things I love to do and very little about me, well no, not personally. Maybe I feel uncomfortable about sharing my thoughts and musings publicly, or I just haven't found out who I really want to be yet.

A lot of maybes, I know, but life is full of uncertainties no? Well I've thought about a lot of stuff lately and I'd like to share with you more personally about myself, and what I think about stuff that I to me, really matters, like my faith for instance.

This blog is mostly about the superficial part of me and I'd like to start another new one, making it more intimate in a good kind of way. For those of you who'd like to read about it, you can find it at whimsical lady and follow for more, but for those who are more comfortable with this one, I'll still keep it for updates once in a while but unfortunately my focus would not be on this one.

Too long have I been hiding behind a shell, not daring to step out of my comfort zone, not daring to voice out my opinions for fear of what others will think of me. Well today, I'd like to change that and I hope I'll grow to be the person God wants me to be.

Thanks for being patient with me and for those who took time to read my blogs, I sincerely am grateful. This doesn't necessarily mean an end, no, surely it means starting with a new beginning and with the help of God and loved ones, I will get there.

Fringe Episode

This should make it up to the top 10 regrets list: Cut myself a fringe! :(

Was washing my hair yesterday and I had a sudden thought: my hair looks too straight, and it's getting kind of flat at the top, maybe I'll try a fringe or bangs. And so today I upped and went to take a pair of scissors, cut myself a fringe and immediately regret it!

Oh well. What's done is done, and thankfully, it'll grow back! :(

Friday's Letters {3}

Dear rain, thank you for coming just at the right time to cool off the heat of the day.

Dear work, thank you for bringing interesting cases today and I finally get to hand up my case study for my last assessment! Hopefully all will be well and it'll be over soon! :)

Dear Jos, thank you for borrowing for me a screwdriver to put up my table. I love my pink study table yay! :)

Dear Carey, thanks for cooking dinner with me. It encourages me not to be lazy and to eat proper meals!

Dear bugs, you know I can't stand any of you no matter what sizes you are. Please, I do beg you to stop coming to see me! :(

Dear Lord, I pray for my country. Please save us :(

Linking up with Ashley today! :)

Ramblings And Such

The weather here lately has been sunny by day, rainy by night. Which is a nice thing really, making the evenings cooler and not very hot nor stuffy. A lot of things has been on my to-do list for quite a while but there doesn't seemed to have time for them. Chores, work, time with love ones. Isn't there a time you'd wish that there's more than 24 hours a day or more than 7 days a week? This is one of those times for me.

Oh wells. Better get on with it. Hope your week is off to a great start! Have a productive week ahead! :)

Optimism

It's been awhile since I really sit down and sketch. Am getting kind of rusty at it, will definitely need some practice and polishing up. Have been sick these few days thus the lack of updates, forgive me. However let's not focus on the downs shall we? There's always something good behind things that happened and I'm not going to let some virus spoil my day.

Things to look forward to:
1. Two more days to weekend! Can't wait!
2. Will be seeing my sister after 3 long months and she's bringing me something from home! Can't wait either!
3. Will be sitting with the church choir after last practise. Am looking forward to finally being a real member! :)
4. A possible date with N on Saturday? A surprise maybe? Definitely am anticipating for it!

There! I feel much better already. Boo to you mr. virus I'm going to beat you yet! I will get well soon you'll see!

ps: I passed my assessment today with flying colours! Another thing to be happy about hurrah! :)

Eventful Day

Was messing about with the blog's html codes and accidentally deleted all my previous template designs :( Imagine the frustrations I felt on top of a tiring day after spending almost 6 hours non-stop in the OT, rushing after public buses when our bus came late, small shopping trip to get myself ready for tomorrow's friend's wedding, etc. It was indeed a challenging day!

Please bear with me while I start on a new skin and hopefully it'll be better than the one before! By doing this means I'll have to change a few things here and there so all I ask is a little patience :)

Meanwhile, would love to share something nice to remind us that miracles still happen nowadays. So if you're wondering, yes I've been reading Chicken Soup for the Soul: A Book Of Miracles to while away the time I had while waiting in OT for patients to come. Enjoy! :)




"I've learned that when we "explain away" miracles with science, chemistry or coincidences, we fail to give credit to where credit is due. God may be speaking to us, showing us, blessing us."

Musings

Was staring at the sky, looking at the clouds floating by. Life is like them a lot, where nothing is permanent, and we are being carried along by sequences and events. Sometimes I wondered, how life would be like without strings attached, without responsibilities, without cares, without worries. To just pack up my bag and go wherever I longed to go, like the clouds, float where the wind carries them. Tempting, is it not?

What would you do, when your dream becomes hazy, when what used to seem so clear now becomes a blur? What would you do, when life threatens to discourage you, by giving you obstacles by obstacles, and you have to fight until you're tired and weary?
