CREATIVITY: A JOURNEY
Our general elections are around the corner, how many of us want to weep and rub ashes on our foreheads just thinking about it? It feels like no matter how many rallies are attended and yellow t-shirts are bought, once the crowds recede and the dust settles, all still sama je. Life goes on. Yea, life goes [...]
If there's anything Christ has taught me, it's that we don't live for ourselves. In us rests the potential and ability to impact the world. That ability is only stimulated when selfishness dies. Ironically I have spent a lot more time redefining my 'SELF' than I have in defining my love for others. You can't [...]
It's December already *whines* where did my 2015 go? This is the time we do the spring cleaning, the charity, the Christmas shopping and we try to finish up the resolutions before January 1 hits and this whole cycle repeats itself. It's the end of our new beginning that we started 2015 with so much [...]
I recently wanted to get LASIK for my eyes because the ophthalmologist told me contact lenses were making my eyes dry. But when I went to the clinic I was rejected for the procedure because my corneas were not thick enough. HOWEVER, there is another procedure, ICL, where they insert "corrective lenses" into your eyes. Besides putting the [...]
Friday night I was rushing to pack for my trip down to Malacca in conjunction with Chris and Audrey's wedding and in my haste I accidentally dropped two bottles of car fresheners on the floor. One broke and one didn't. Within seconds my entire room was filled with the thick scent of Ambi Pur's Vanilla Bouquet. And [...]
It's sad in Malaysia we don't have an adult playground. By adult playground I don't mean a playground of X-rated toys. In Adelaide, there's a place called St. Kilda where the see-saws and slides are in ginormous epic proportions; a playground designed for adults. Naturally, we went there on our off day from uni and [...]
"Will God still help you out of a mess you yourself created?" When a young girl asked me this recently, I believe she was genuine in asking how to deal with the torment of self-inflicted mistakes and not looking for reasons to continue operating below her fullest potential. In the A+ Asian culture where people [...]
Nobody gets lost intentionally. There is no process to getting lost. Even if you just run in random directions, you're where you want to be. You're only lost if you had a destination to reach to in the first place. Let's say I want to go north. No matter how much I pray, cry, fast [...]
So recently it has been made clear to me that I am, for a lack of a better word; stubborn. I don't want to admit it, but when two or more are gathered in unison, truth is amongst. stub·born adjective \ˈstə-bərn\ : refusing to change your ideas or to stop doing something; unreasonably or perversely unyielding : [...]
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever SAYS to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he SAYS will be done, he will have whatever he SAYS. Mark 11:23 The ability of speech is right smack dab in the middle of your brain. [...]
