We're all fabulous!!!!

My current fave inspirational quote... i simple love it!!!!!!!!!!!! :D


"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson

Numero Uno, baby!

I am just too excited!

Obsessed about flowers

I just couldn't help it....

After the first shot, i just went on and on and on...

For a virgin photographer, i think i did pretty well, if i may say so myself. :D

Heaven in my mind

So here i am sitting around all kinds of insects flying around me, birds and whatever else. Straight ahead i see the outline of the mountains, the beginning of the mist..... picture perfect really.

I am in Pahang...and it's half pleasure, half work. Pleasure because the villa is super fabulous.







I am scared about getting down to work --- as i do not know if i can give it justice - writing about this place. I am still at loss of words...the right, justifiable words.



I plan to wake up real early tomo to talk a walk uphill and maybe take some pics. Aside from that, i plan to do NOTHING tomorrow. How fantastic is that? That's what the owner of this place recommended for tomo. Just take in all the sights and sounds of the mountains/forest. Wow...

Something bugging me tho - a friend of mine says he can't imagine me as a person who can appreciate the jungle. I don't blame him as i guess he does not know me well enough. I find the hills and mountains very peaceful. I treasure my morning walks in the park alone - a time for me to meditate or just get lost in my thoughts. And it keeps me going - my own form of motivation.

But i am not here to prove myself to anyone. :)

I always have this thought that i hope whoever it is i end up with,....i would like to spend my older years in either Cameron Highlands or somewhere like Ipoh. A smaller place, simple life.

But you wouldn't have guessed that if u met me! But then again, i am full of surprises!! :)

I will try to upload some pics of this place later tonight. For now, i am going to sit back and just listen to the sounds of the Pahang forest!

In pursuit of happiness (Part 2)

Going back to basics.

My amma's house in Air Hitam. Brought back loads of childhood memories although the house is pretty much different now then it was back 20 years ago.

Tho everything else feels the same - the pathway we 'trek' to go up to the stalls early in the morning for breakfast. :)

Ahh such bliss!

In pursuit of happiness (Part 1)

Ok ok....so i was trigger happy on my way to Penang during the weekend.

I loved watching the mountains (or hills?) - had this sense of peace and had this big smile throughout. Well, it was also a nice change from driving most of the time.

Perfect.

A celebration of life

:)

I am heading to Penang for the weekend for 2 main reasons:

1) My grandaunt's 40th death prayers (she's sorta like a grandmother to us) tho i already have 3 grandmas (2 of which have passed on)

2) a 70th birthday celebration

So it's like a celebration weekend, really. My grandaunt lived a full life. She was 82. We were all shocked cuz she's the youngest in the house. My amma, turning 90 this year, and my uncle is 85. So they were absolutely shocked when my grandaunt passed away on Easter night (Sunday).

I remember getting the call early in the morning and i cried. More out of guilt than anything else. You see, i haven't been back to Penang for 5 years at least. How we take things for granted and always assume all will be alright. So i drove up to Penang that morning with my sister and parents.

Talking to my family there and listening to them explaining everything, i got teary again. But i really lost it in church. Cuz it was like the final goodbye to Amma Jo. She was always soo sweet and loving. But i know she is doing fine. I just know it.

So this weekend, it will be a celebration of her life here.

Amma, we will always miss you....see you soon!
