Holiday Break!

Pictures says it all. Had an enjoyable time with the family and I'm glad we get to spend quality time together. Moments count. Every single one of them.

2013 Recap

Friends. And food. That was mostly last year. I'm lucky to have wonderful friends by my side through thick and thin. This year will be a challenging year for all of us, and yes, we'll continue to stick by each other and create more memories together.

Card Making

It's easy really. You don't need anything much. Just papers, watercolors, paintbrushes, water, palette. And of course, an enthusiastic heart. I've always believed that we can do anything we want as long as we believe in it hard enough and work hard for it. Nothing's impossible, right? And all things are possible as long as we keep the faith.

Exam's coming up. Stress is piling up and deadlines to meet draw nearer and nearer. Only thing to do now is to take a deep breath and don't let life overwhelmed you. Do what makes you happy. Smile. And be with loved ones. At the end of the day, when you think back to what really matters, simple small things, people we love, it's all worth it. Life.

Have a great weekend ahead friends! :)

Hot Day

Looking at the first two pictures, who'd thought that Malaysia would have such a nice mountain view. Yep today is a hot day for Malaysia, and believe it or not I've actually found energy to go out for lunch with Jos and we even shopped a bit yay! ;)

Am glad for a day off where I can have my own me time. Am glad of the break before stress starts again Monday! Sorry that's what I've been talking lately huh? Stress and all. But yeah, studying the postgrad is definitely not easy but uhuh I will overcome it with my friends together. We must! :p

Oh wells. Time will tell how we progress but in the meantime, will be glad of any time off to relax and rest! :)

Have an awesome Sunday and a wonderful week ahead friends! :)

The Marketplace

Went to the marketplace yesterday with family. Haven't been to a real market in years ever since I went to   college. It's good to wake up once in a while early and join in the hustle and bustle of market life. Surely the things to see at the market is as interesting as the people there selling things and haggling for prices.

Maybe I'll go again next week, who knows. Have an awesome weekend! :)

Girly Fun

Things you need:
Pale colour nail polish
Transparent/ clear nail polish
Sticky tape
Scissors

How to:
1. Cut ten small strips of sticky tape and stick them onto your nails covering half your nails near the bottom part closer to the cuticles.
2. Using a bright colour or pale colour polish apply onto uncovered part of your nails and let dry before stripping off the tapes.
3. After that, apply clear nail polish on your nails to give it a shiny look before applying topcoat as a second protective layer.
4. Let dry and you're done! :)

Lately {9}

1. Appreciating simple things life to brighten up my Monday!
2. Enjoying the summer and all that it brings.
3. Parents' 25th wedding anniversary.

Lately life is kind of simple and happy. Did nothing productive much lately, except for jogging in the mornings (if you call that productive). Am planning a few DIY-es next week though to use up a few grey cells. What have you been up to lately? Remember to link up! :)

Simple Things

Hello everybody! It's Monday again and I know for some it may be a blue Monday but for me, today, no matter how blue things may seem to me I'm going to make sure it's a great day! Yep simple things in life is enough to make us happy if we only stop for a moment to take notice of them.

What kind of simple things to make me happy? Hmm that's not a hard one.
Things like jogging in the morning breathing in the fresh air and feeling the gentle touch of the sunlight on your skin, or playing piano and singing along to the melodious tunes and the feeling of piano keys under my touch, or just talking to N on the phone with the distance of the South China Sea in between us but not feeling the distance in our hearts because together we are one in spirit, or maybe just having a simple breakfast with the family.

Yeah those things make me happy. Simple, not much energy needed, nor money spent, just simple things. There's a saying that goes 'the best things in life are free' and I totally agree with it.

What are the simple things that make you happy? Would love to hear a few :)
Have an un-blue Monday! :)

Lately {8}

1. 'Now You See Me' movie ticket for two for N and I. We're having our last date together before I go back home for a month long break.
2. N smiling at me while I took pictures of him.
3. Airplane shot. Love the great view.
4. Grand ballroom attended a friend's wedding dinner.
5. Morning breakfast with family and friends.
6. Dad's special: homemade shepherd's pie!

Lately it's mostly about food, and the people I love. Am back for the holiday break and it's good I get to spend quality time with my family again. Only down part of it was I had to leave N for a month and I'm missing him badly already!

Will be looking forward to going back but in the meanwhile, am having a nice relaxing time with my family. There's a time for everything, I always believe in that. And I thank God for the people He sent into my life to help make life more meaningful.

Have a great rest of the week ahead! :)
