I MOVED!!

There'll come a time when a person moves. Be it an upgrade or a change of house or environment, a change happened here! 

I moved to a new website! 

Come, join me in this adventure! :)

Into the deep,

hello there. (:

today feels like a lower case day. thus, this post will not have any capitalized letters unless it's necessary. i'm also aware that i haven been blogging since last year and that this post is my very first post for this year. it's definitely not your ''happy new year" or "new year resolutions'' kind of post. the days have been robbing my time and when night falls sleep does. and that's how life went on for me. unknowingly it's March already. 

here's a poem for you (it was an English assignment), because it's friday and it also feels like a poem kind of day. :)

With one shake

There was a girl, 

Who loved to twirl, 

In her world, 

Where it swirled.

Caught in a dome, 

All alone, 

With her bow,

and hope to snow.

With one shake, 

The earth broke, 

Little snowflakes,

Beginning to create. 

have a lovely weekend!

Playing Pretend

Hello you! (:

It is indeed a beautiful day. The rain clouds have been holding in. Giving us humans a break from carrying our umbrellas everywhere we go. I must admit, it is one tough work out session to keep that colourful umbrella above your head.

My iTunes is on shuffle currently and something in me sparked. I love moments like these when something in me just ignite unexpectedly. I reckon it's called inspiration. Inspiration, to me, is capricious. It comes in the most random time. And it is up to you to grab it or let it slip.

This time, I have decided to grab it.

And here goes.

"Did the ocean reflect the blue of the vast sky 

or was it the other way round?" 

She often questioned herself. 

Either way, one of them was reflecting the other. 

One of them was trying to be like the other. 

Both may appear to look alike at a glance, 

but one of them was pretending. 

I was strolling down New Port just two weeks ago. I must say it was probably the most amazing feeling ever. To be able to walk on something so innocent and pure. Now, I'm sitting here in front of my laptop, missing it from a million miles away.

God is love. God is awesome. We all know that. But, we, including myself, often miss it. That is the scariest part. If we fail to really acknowledge this truth, we will sway. We will be giving the world an opportunity to feed our hunger with lies. Dirty, filthy lies.

"I'm never good enough." 

"Why can't I look like that?"

"Why am I here?" 

Knowing something doesn't change anything. We have to believe it. Really believe. God loves you and He is there, waiting, calling, missing you. He loves you, he really does.

It's time to stop playing pretend. Stop sympathizing yourself. Stop seeking pity from people. Stop trying to be someone else. You are beautiful. You are worth it. No one has the right to tell you otherwise. "For man looks at the outward appearance, God looks at the heart" - 1 Samuel 16:7 And that's why I love my God.

He sees past my deadly flaws and He still loves me. I have received endless love. #truestory

There are truths and lies in this unkind world.

Which would you pick?

I'm looking at you. :) Just kidding. It'll be a crime. 

such a pity

she preferred jogging in the night.
the darkness that surrounded her gave her a sense of security, she reckoned.
with her face hidden from the world, a sense of relieve washed over her.

he, however, thought that the dark had robbed her beauty.

and it was such a pity.

Greetings from a faraway land! :)

Hello, hello, hello and hello! (:

Let me just start this post by saying that you, yes you, look particularly gorgeous today, tomorrow and every day! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I ain't going to tell you where I'm currently at because the Internet is a very dangerous place. Just kidding. I'll give you guys more insight when I have more time to let my fingers flow on the keypad.

For now, here's a little food for thought. Or something random, which I hope, to enlighten your day, maybe?

Recently, I've been using the head and shoulder's apple scented shampoo. It smells lovely and everyone around me could smell apples although there weren't real apples around. Then I thought about how splendid it would be for the entire world to use fruit scented shampoos to enhance the smell of the world. It'll be super cool to have oranges, lemons, grapes and mangos scents flooding our nostrils whenever we are out of the house! 

But when I gave a deeper thought about it, we, Christians actually have a Christ-scented fragrance to share with this world. A fragrance of love, joy, hope...the list could go on and on! It is written in 2 Corinthians 2:15, "For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and to those who are perishing."

We are to carry this Christ-scented aroma with us every day. So that we will be able to share this fragrance with everyone we come into contact with. As we do this, I pray that our friends, family or strangers will come to know the source of this lovely fragrance and eventually be reunited with the Saviour.

You may have heard this one too many times, but I'm still going to say it again, GOD LOVES YOU! SO MUCH! (: With the thought of Someone loving you so relentlessly, keep your heads up, put a big smile on your face, start enjoying the little things that God has blessed you with.

Have a great week! 

One more thing...the apple scented head and shoulders shampoo is really good. It can be found in the supermarkets near you. 

A few nice things, 

1. I went for a 25-minute jog around a very huge lake today. I broke my personal record and I'm pretty happy about it! God is good! :)
2. I have taken some time to write this little story idea that has been strolling in my head down. It took me a lot of gut to actually post it up on Wattpad (a writing website). If you are interested to read my story, click awaaaaaaaaaay! And if you have a Wattpad account, do let me know! We can get connected! :)  

Lots of love from the faraway land! (: 

Getting fit, again.

Hello again! (:
It's Thursday and I thought about you. So here I am, writing. Recently I found a really great app for picture editing. You may or may not be familiar with this app, but it's called VSCOcam. It's so lovely! I literally fell in love with it straight away.

After much consideration, I decided to put on my green socks and jogging shoes to go for a short run around my neighbourhood. It has at least been a thousand years since I last jog. In fact, I stopped jogging after netball training stopped this year. With the company of Alexia - my classmate slash few doors away neighbour - jogging was so fun this evening! It was the best record I have ever had in all my days of jogging. Oh and it feels so good to be jogging again! Here's a tip, when you want to jog, get a friend. It helps! #truestory

I have to highlight a tiny little unexpected event that took place today. I was all geared up with my green socks and shoes all tied up when it happened. I headed for the gate. My just-a-few-months-old-painted-white gate. I bumped into an uncle and aunty as I made my way out of my house. The aunty was holding onto the uncle's hand as they were walking pass my house. I greeted them with a smile and the aunty was trying to tell me something. When I couldn't understand what the aunty was trying to say, her husband told me that she was telling me how much I have grown. Immediately, I recalled what my mother had told me about this elderly couple. The aunty had suffered from stroke, so that explains her stammering of words. I looked at her and I gave her my best smile. She stopped walking and she asked me another question. "form...form...form.." she asked, and this time, I knew what she was asking, so I replied "form 4". And she goes from "hmm" to "wow''.

That was probably the cutest reaction I've ever seen. It was also the sweetest sight I have encountered. I don't know much about this aunty and uncle; but from what I witnessed, I could sense their love for each other. I was told that the uncle would walk the aunty every day. That is love. Pure, genuine and sincere. Beautiful. I, too, would want to grow old with someone that would walk with me (and our dog) together in the park and watch children giggle with glee. #teehee

Because taking picture of my pretty socks is cool.

till then,
be generous with your smiles! (:

September update!

This was taken back in 2012. When my randomness got hold of me. :)

hello you.
there's so many things that i want to tell you, but there is so little time. i often wish that i could meet you in person and just start my storytelling, rather than writing it out here. not that i mind though, i love writing! (: but sometimes i feel that communicating in person would be lovely.

it's september already! time never cease to amuse me with its ability to fly so fast. it will stop at nothing. maybe i haven been good at my time managing. maybe my priority list needs a little adjusting. or maybe time just have some prejudice against me. #justkidding

so many things happened in the past few months. the biggest event/trip that has impacted my life the most will be the recent mission trip that i took part in along with other 29 rangers and youth. i promised myself that i will write everything down before i forget and i did, briefly. the next question is when will i post it up? haha. it'll be up the next time i come in, i promise!

although it has been close to a month since i came back from Cambodia, everything that took place in that beautiful land is still fresh in my mind. whenever i look back or let my mind take a peek at the memories that i've made there, i can't help but smile. the people there are amazing. their sincerity never cease to touch my heart. many a times i was caught ashamed of myself. about the attitude i look at things or simply about the way i react to things. they have certainly blessed me more than i have blessed them.

throughout the trip, God had been so faithful to all of us. the devil had tried to cause trouble, but he failed miserably. God had shielded us from the beginning to the end. we were (are) so blessed! more storytelling in the next post, i janji! (:

all in all, i can't stop thanking God for his overflowing of blessings that He has blessed me with. truly He is a great God and nothing you do will make Him love you less. stay strong.

"from the fullness of His grace, we have all received one blessing after another" 1 john 1:16

till then.
*hugs & loves!
