Things I’m Thankful For (via © Laura Berger 2010)
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of...
i love coffee shops.
God’s mysterious but powerful ways we need to embrace :)
Lord, i’m humbled…
—————————————————————-
We pray for blessings, we pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops?
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near?
What if trials of this life
Are Your mercies in disguise?
We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
And all the while You hear each desperate plea
And long that we’d have faith to believe
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near?
And what if trials of this life
Are Your mercies in disguise
When friends betray us, when darkness seems to win
We know the pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It’s not our home
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near?
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst
This world can’t satisfy?
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise?
Creating Margins.
I’m learning to see margins as enabling, not stifling.
Margins enable me to do more with less, by bringing me into focus, back to centre.
I’ll be spending some time to reflect on how to create:
Photo: Lucky film, June ‘11@Cats Socrates
Film has stolen my heart. I can’t bear to return back to my past - digital photography.
Despite the issue of cost, convenience and speed (mainly due to the shooting process and development), film records and reproduces a broader range of color. The color of digital photos (unless edited) just ain’t that vivid.
Would like to share with all of you the photos i’ve been taking ever since 2009.Looking back, I’m thankful for not passing out on the opportunity to pick up an old nikon SLR my dad bought ~10 years ago. I’ve discovered a whole new world :)

*Sunset at Marina Barrage, June 2009. It was my first time there. A family-friendly spot perfect for a picnic and time of kite flying. This was my first roll of film, a kodak slide film. This photo blew me away as I’ve never seen a digital photo with colors that brilliant.

*First lunch of 2010 with Roxane And Amelia at 15 Minutes, Lasalle. Once again, beautiful tone of colors.

*Brown roll from Simply Bread, 2010

*Tesla Coil experiment at the Science Centre, 2010

MAY FILM LIVE A VERY LONG LIFE <3
At first look, you might wonder what’s so special about these bags?
Looks pretty much like what you can get at most accessory or departmental stores.
But some of you will be surprised when you look inside (myself included)…


They’re camera bags with moore! Now photographers don’t need to sacrifice aesthetics for utility! :) Being a lover of photography and fashion, I can’t help but get excited over this new find. It’s quite pricey but I wouldn’t mind saving up for it. The designer of these bags is a professional photographer herself. So I’m sure she knows exactly what functions this bag should play! Do check it out, I believe the beauty in function and form makes it worth the buy :)
On a side note, I’ve learnt this: innovation happens best when we take the opportunity to solve the problems we see.
i miss York Street Cafe’s ice coffee. it’s so rich and flavorful. ice cream is added to make the coffee cold (no dilution).
but the ice skinny cappuccino at Skinny Pizza was good enough for me.
not to mention the great company and heartfelt sharing exchanged.
shopping after 10pm at the almost empty supermarket made me happy too!
Always looking out for the next adventure and fresh ideas.
If not, i’ll die of boredom and restlessness.
1. Make my bicycle trips interesting
2. Take more photographs
3. Blog and read more - to build a creativity flow
4. Find an effective kick start to my day
5. Grow this list
(via get out and ride)
*i love my bike
things have been a lil’ crazy lately due to the upcoming white day. but He’s def keeping me sane with fun, laughter, joy and gratitude! this TOTALLY made my day - they’re my kind of ballerina :)
How deep is our repentance?
How deep is our understanding of God’s grace?
