Surrender.

Reflection on the past 8 months. As we are welcoming September and embracing the few months we have left for 2016, I thought I'd do a self-check before the year ends. This has got to be the most adventurous experience for me. So many new experience and unforgettable lessons. Started off the year as a working Interior Designer, left my job, got into a relationship, moved to Singapore and now continuing my studies to do what I love most. That's just the surface and summary for what these 8 months have been. It's crazy how so many things have change in such short time, especially when it comes so suddenly. But when God opens the door, He really will open that door haha. I find this few months so special to me, especially when I reflect and look back to 2015. I wouldn't touch on too much of depth here, but all I would say is that I never could have imagine where I am now. I wrote 'surrender' on that picture because for the past few weeks, after

Last draft to clear! I've been drafting so many posts, too lazy to type them out, just pictures on them in case I forget to blog about them. Been quite motivated to blog lately, not sure how long this motivation will last. I really do enjoy reading back all my posts- me being a very sentimental person- so I have to make more effort to actually blog them. In January 2016, Norman, June, Howie, Isabel and I decided to go to Kuantan for a trip. No spoiler alert but boy, what a trip! Hahaha. It was quite a spontaneous plan as I've only known June for a few weeks maybe almost a month plus before this trip happen. Even how June and I became close is a very spontaneous thing. The first time we actually hung out was a trip to Genting with Norman and Howie. I've known her existence from seeing her talking to Norman during GLA15 (little did I know, that was when they first met too) oh and that's when I first started talking to Norman too, during GLA when Howie introduced me

Pulau Kapas (Cotton Island)

I was honestly looking forward to this trip to Pulau Kapas. The whole idea was for me to relax, rejuvenate and spend intimate time with God and myself. The reason was that I was working so tirelessly for the past 6 months; staying up late all day and sometimes up to more than 24 hours in the office, working on the weekends and public holidays, and slowly losing myself along the way. When I decided to leave the job (when I finally came to my senses), I told myself that I would treat myself with a getaway. Away from the city and work, just me, myself, God and nature. It didn't turn out to be an "alone" trip though (as much as I wanted it to be), a few of my other friends were part of this trip too, which I'm definitely not complaining because it was still really good! I got to spend some time alone, with God and with my friends :) It was still really nice. All in all, this trip was really really refreshing. I tasted freedom again, I rediscovered my passion,

This is one of the best trip; I know I say this for almost all of my trips but this has to be one of the most special and intimate time I spent with God and the friends :) Legends. World changers. Each of their stories shows how real God's redemption is. You can so clearly see how God works through them, how much He loves us, just by being around them. Such an inspiring bunch. We walked around Taman Negara on the 2nd day. It was a really short but so fulfilling trip. I remembered we walked about 20k just in the afternoon. All the stairsssss, but so worth it because everytime I look up, I see the beauty of the tree and nature ❤ Ivory! <3 Fav fav fav! She's not just a mentor to me, she's the sister I've always wanted. Her heart is so pure and her love is so gentle and pure. I can still remember so clearly. It was during our walk down from the hike, we were talking about how God is preparing her to be a wife. Fast forward 8 months now, she is ENGA

So, I'd probably will have a few post ahead (Was inspired to blog again after reading Penny's blog haha) Last year in August, a few of us Ohana went for a trip! It was soooo nice and special :) We really bonded and created so many precious memory together; though I am sure now I have forgotten half of it since it's been a year! This was a trip for SV and JP since they were leaving to study abroad and we probably won't have another chance to go on a trip with the Ohana (or at least in a big number) for a while. Thinking about it now, everyone is everywhere! But it's so nice to know that wherever you go, a part of home is there to welcome you! Hehe :) I honestly can't wait for that day where we reunited and share our stories. It'll be so amazing to see the growth for each of us individually and in a whole :) So, for the trip, Hui Wen's driver was so kind to drive us all the way to Kuantan and drop us off. It was a long ride, but the company ma
