From which angle are you looking at?

How fast are you travelling on this journey called Life?

Are you taking sharp corners and turns, or are you enjoying the view along the windy road?

Are you perpetually rushing with flushed cheeks, or are you dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat?

What do you see? Do you view life through the lens of your eyes, or through the deep soul of your inner-being?

Lord, help me to get your perspective on my journey of life.  You know that I love the adrenaline of life but may i always remember to stop and listen to your whispers.  Help me to always see with your eyes, feel with your heart, and obey your gentle callings.  Give me wisdom to see with wide angle lenses, to never be jaded by negativity, but to always enjoy my journey of life.

new season!

Seems like, looks like, feels like… a new season approaching!

First the job move, then the leaders move, next the house move, coming up could be a country move! It’s all in God’s Hands… just believing and praying.  I pray that Lord I’ll not only look to your Hands, but always look to YOU.  You are all I need.  Thank you for everything that I have…only because you gave…because you love me.

In times of uncertainty, He is my Rock.  This I am sure.  Even though there is uncertainty, there is in me, that surety, that assurance that all will be good.  Because He is Good.  I’m soooo ready for this new change, this new season! Love you Jesus… xoxo

我的快樂 – My Happiness

Just finished watching another Taiwanese TV drama : 命中注定我爱你 or Fated to Love You.  (oh btw, the english translation of the Title is such a poor representation of the real meaning behind the Mandarin Title).  Here’s the second theme song of the Drama.  Love the song.  The simplicity of the words seem to capture the complexity of the story so beautifully. Love the Drama.

The Drama’s storyline tells of 2 strangers making really big mistakes, seemingly like they’ve screwed up their entire lives.  But towards the end, it tells of how although it seems like they’ve made huge mistakes, it’s like it’s all part of a bigger Plan, bigger Picture… like ’someone up there’ is looking after them.

Why I like this Drama so much? Maybe cos somehow bits and pieces of my own life is portrayed in it.  When I think of how I’ve screwed up big time, yet it somehow it worked out all okie.  I thank God for second chances.  Where would I be without His Love and Grace?  I thank God that He turned everything around for good.  I thank God that He holds my world in the palm of His hands.  No matter what happens, God is always in control.  Most of all, I thank God that He loves me.

something old, something new…welcome 2009

Welcome 2009!

Another’s year gone past… the closure of another chapter, yet with it brings the beginning of another.  I ended the year with a supermad, adro pumpin, totally sick skydive.  The rush of the free fall combined with the silence of parachuted glide, summed up the year’s months, weeks and days.

I read a quote that says, “Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of moments that take your breath away”.  That skydive was a moment that took my breath away.  Up 10,000 ft, looking down and across, the view of the ocean was magnificent.  It was a moment that reminded me of how much God loves me.

I sang a chrous that goes, “You walk on waves, You run with clouds, You paint the sky for me to see”.  In the last 29 years so far, I have loved deeply, I was loved much, and I am still loved.  It seems like a roller coaster ride, but in truth, nothing has changed.  Life is still an adventure.  The truth is that I have a God who created the entire universe, who holds the world in His hands, yet who loves me, little me.

So I thank God for an awesome 2008, and am looking forward to an even bigger and better 2009!

最美丽的第七天：The Most Beautiful Seventh Day

Just finished watching Hong Kong TVB’s drama series 最美丽的第七天 (The Most Beautiful Seventh Day). It’s a romantic drama focusing on the love that develops between 2 couples. Both the male character leads, Kevin Cheng (郑嘉颖) and Bosco Wong (黄宗泽) were both born on the same day, yet their outlook in life and perspectives on love and relationships are vastly different. The story unfolds and reveals the love that develops between Kevin Cheng and Niki Chow (周丽淇); and between Bosco Wong and Natalie Tong (唐诗咏).

Well, I shouldn’t tell you the ending, if you haven’t watched it, you should! It’s beautiful…. and true. We’re all different, yet inside every human heart, there is the same deep longing to find that special someone to journey life with.

Oh, and this is Kevin and Niki’s third collaboration together as a couple on-screen! They’re sooo cute together! I can’t find out if they’re together in real life (if you know, please tell me!!!) If they are, I wish them all the very best and hopefully their story will last forever as they journey through life (and the crazy showbiz industry) together!!!

Enjoy the vid clips! The top clip is the ending theme song 抱著空氣 (sang by Kevin & Niki). In this clip, look out for the cute doggie, Jack, who also “acted” in the drama series as Niki’s “best friend”! He is soooo well-trained!!!

The bottom clip is the opening theme song 最美麗的第七天 (sang by Kevin). Enjoy!

Definitely, Maybe

Just watched the movie “Definitely, Maybe”. What a story! It had a great ending with William Hayes, the dad finally telling his true feelings to April. Finally they ended up together! But the sad part is it took him years! Years, years later to do so! Why?!

Does it always take a “lost” before we truly cherish what we did possess? Why do we not value what is already in our hands? Can’t we see with clear lenses? Why does our perception seemingly almost always gets clouded and hazy amongst the kaleidescope of colours and shapes that move around us?

Do we get so caught up with trying to find the right one, the right something, that we miss the very one that is right before our eyes? Why do we hold onto what seems good, even though sometimes it feels like “something is missing”? Do we get fixated on a certain look and feel, that we miss the very opportunity of what could be?

Is it definitely? Or sometimes maybe?

simply life…

It’s 1st Nov. Another year. Time swiftly moves.
In the year that past, it’s been a celebration of sorts.
Just as there is a time for everything, there is a reason for everything.
A reason for every laughter, every tear.
A reason for every joy, every hurt.
A reason for every love, every pain.

I’ll never understand somethings, but I don’t need to understand.
I put my trust in my God who loves me.
I pray that I may have power to grasp how wide and long,
how high and deep is the love of Christ,
to know this love that surpasses knowledge.

Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.
Love does not demand its own way.
Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
Love does not rejoice about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out.
Love never gives up and never loses faith.
Love is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
… And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is LOVE.

Father I pray that your Love will dwell richly in me.
May the Love of Christ radiate brilliantly from my life.
By your Holy Spirit I ask that fountains of Love will overflow,
into hearts that are lost, hurting and searching.
